Welcome to Day 3 of the March 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. Today we’re sharing projects created with the most beautiful, new floral stamp sets called Always in Bloom, the Watercolor Stencils, and new Bookmarked stamps and coordinating dies. I’m going to show you what I created with these wonderful products and then we’ll show you what the other designers made.
Our new Always in Bloom stamp set and coordinating dies are stunning! The florals images are a very loose, almost watercolor type of floral and are a multi-step stamp set that brings out all of the gorgeous details.
Before adding on my Always in Bloom florals, I used the new Watercolor Stencils to create my background. I can’t begin to tell you how much I LOVE these new stencils. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at a watercolor background, complete with paint splatters, but not had the courage, this stencil collection is for you! It automatically creates the effortless look of watercoloring!
My sentiment comes from the new Mother’s Day Sentiments stamp set and is one of my favorites that can be used for more than just Mother’s Day. After stamping my florals, I layered them over my watercolor background using dimensional adhesive to allow them to pop. A strip of black and white striped paper was added down the right side of my card to bring in a little more personality and of course I added Stickles glitter to add a bit of shimmer and shine.

I created a softer, more feminine card for my next card, using the lovely Always in Bloom stamps and dies once again. I began with a Lemon Tart cardstock base and covered it with a layer of vellum to add a soft, glow to my card front.
I then used a Love to Layer: Deckled Edge die cut, stamped using a sentiment from the new Pro Stamper’s Box: March 2024 and with gorgeous splotches of watercolor stencils across the front. I stenciled in Mint Julep and Pale Peony, with my splatters in Classic Kraft ink. Aren’t those washes of color beautiful?
Next came my Always in Blooms flowers and leaves, clustered in the center of my card. These blooms make perfect centerpieces and focal points, or do a wonderful job framing in your sentiments, as you’ll see from our designers.

The adorable Bookmarked stamps and coordinating dies were used on my next card and bookmark. I simply adore the whole concept of making one-of-a-kind bookmarks for kids, friends, teachers, and every special person in your life! You’ll find flowers, an apple, a pencil, a ruler, a cow, and other adorable animals to make into the sweetest bookmarks you’ve ever seen!
I die cut my flower bookmark base from heavy chipboard, so it was extra durable and then stamped it using the Weathered Wood Background stamp. I then die cut it a second time from patterned paper, so I could clip out the leaves and adhere them to my chipboard base. The tiny leaves on this die are cut in such a way that they fold over a page in your book to mark your place. I stamped my sentiment down the longest part of the bookmark and then added stamped flower from the Bookmarked set to the top.
I had to create a coordinating card to show just how versatile the Bookmarked stamp set it…..it not only creates bookmarks, but the elements can very easily transfer over to handmade cards and tags, just in time for Teacher Appreciation, graduation, and more! The sentiment used on my card is one of my favorites from this release and is from the new Pro Stamper’s Box: March 2024 stamp set. It was stamped on a die cut Love to Layer: Beautiful Bracket which was layered over the gorgeous, new Reflections: March die, which you’ll be learning more about tomorrow!
