Welcome to our Day 1 of the February Countdown.  Here at Papertrey Ink we love to bring you tons of variety.  If you like more simple designs or something a little more challenging, we have you covered.  Each of our newly released products can be used in so many different ways to fit your particular style, we are excited to show you how they come to life!

Hi, it’s Melissa, and I’m so thrilled to share our new products with you.  We absolutely love bringing you the most amazing images made from the highest quality materials for you to add to your creative toolkit.  I’m going to show you what I created with these wonderful products and then we’ll show you what the other designers made. I’ve used the sweet, new Weather it Together stamps, dies, and stencils, the Thoughts of Spring stamps and dies, Flutter Flowers stamps and dies, and beautiful Radiant Radial die on my cards for you today.

Our new Weather it Together stamps, stencils, and dies are sure to make you smile!  Just in time for Spring, this new collection of products is perfect for baby showers, friendship, and all things Spring.  You’ll find a delightful variety of umbrellas in different sizes and shapes, oodles of adorable designs to decorate each handmade umbrella, trimmings, stripes, polka dots, flowers, and more.

I die cut my umbrella on this first card from Hibiscus Burst cardstock and heat embossed white polka dots across the front of it.  Before adhering it to my die cut Reflections:  February mat, I stenciled scallop trim in Lilac Grace, to peek out from beneath the umbrella.  I used a sentiment from the new Thoughts of Spring stamp set.  You’ll adore this new group of products that are each perfect for Spring, sunshine, and cheerful days of friendship.

I used Bitty Big Pale Peony paper and Hibiscus Burst die cut scallops from the Birthday Tag Kit to create my background.  After adhering my sentiment and umbrella to my card front, I embellished around my focal point with sweet flowers and greens from the Weather it Together stamp set.

I wanted the Weather it Together Stencils to shine, so I made them my focus on my second card.  This stencil set is plentiful and loaded with charm and personality.  My favorite elements included are the delicate and detailed trimmings you can add to peek out from underneath your umbrellas.  You can see I used a different shaped umbrella on this card, with floral stencils, a dotted border, and elegant trim that I heat embossed onto my vellum mat layer.

I love this sentiment from the Weather it Together stamp set.  It speaks of baby and wedding showers, don’t you think?  I stamped it on a die cut Just Tags label.  My umbrella and sentiment are layered over a die cut vellum Love to Layer:  Beautiful Bracket that is layered over a second bracket cut from Lemon Tart cardstock.

My base layer was cut from Stamper’s Select White cardstock using my favorite Border Bling:  Tin Stitch die.  On top of this I have layered a block of pastel Bitty Big Mint Julep paper.  I love these colors together for Spring, how about you?

TIPS:

  • If you don’t have a lot of ink pads, use second generation stamping to get different shades of the same color.
  • If your white heat embossing doesn’t come out as well as you would like, use a white gel pen to fill in the areas that didn’t emboss properly.
  • Stamp your sentiment with black ink and fill in the open areas with markers to make it stand out, as well as match the other colors in your project.

My last card uses the lovely, new Flutter Flowers stamps and dies and Radiant Radial die.  These products are over-the-top gorgeous, inspiring, and creative!

I began with a white card base with a sponged circle in Summer Sunrise ink, directly behind where my Radiant Radial die would be.  I then cut my card front and cut out my Radiant Radial circle.  Doesn’t this create the most beautiful, intricate design?  I then added a die cut circle, cut using the Love to Layer:  Beautiful Bracket die.  I stamped my sentiment to the center of my circle, using the Just Sentiments:  Happy Hello Mini stamp set, and adhered it to the center of my Radiant Radial.

 

I brought in pops of color using the beautiful, new Flutter Flowers stamps and dies.  I may possibly wear this set out, it’s that much fun to create with!  This set comes with a flower outline, and then a second layer which adds shading to the flower.  How you color in your flowers is up to you!  I just added a bit of ink blending using small brushes and my ink.  The butterflies come in twos and are just delightful.  You can add shading and color to them as well.  The wispy grasses are full of movement and life and just the perfect finishing touch!
