Welcome to Day 1 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 gorgeous, new Pro Stamper’s Box:  March 2024 stamps, stencils, and dies, and our delightful, new Just Notes stamps, stencils, dies and Love to Layer:  Notebook dies.  I’m going to show you what Brenda and Bobbi created with these wonderful products and then we’ll show you what the other designers made.

Brenda’s card looks so fresh and beautiful in pinks and yellows.  She’s used a lovely sampling of what you’ll find in our new Pro Stamper’s Box:  March 2024.  This box comes complete with a variety of stencils to create beautiful and unique backgrounds, floral stamps and dies, sentiment stamps, frame dies, and bold and beautiful, sentiment dies.

I love the softness of Brenda’s stenciling to create her background.  This stencil is EVERYTHING!  She’s then layered her background over a Lemon Tart card base and started layering on her delightful mix of elements, all from the Pro Stamper’s Box:  March 2024.

One of my favorite things about Brenda’s card is how she layered her Lemon Tart frame over her flowers, and used it to frame in her large sentiment, die cut from Berry Sorbet cardstock and finished with a Lemon Tart twill bow that you can find in our ribbon selection from the Papertrey Ink store.

Thinking of You Card

SUPPLY LIST:

STAMPS: Pro Stamper’s Box:  March 2024

TIPS:

  • Die cut the “Thinking of You” sentiment three times and glue them together for dimension.
  • Use half of the frame cut in half on opposite ends of the card for a different look.
  • Lightly ink the gardenias for a soft look

TIPS:

  • Use the stencils on each of the four corners for versatility
  • Stack three or more frames together for a sturdy piece and for dimension

TIPS:

  • Try coloring the leaves with blender, brushes, and ink rather than stamping the images for a different look.
  • Add ink blending over the top of the stencil to soften the lines.
  • Use textured cardstock with a word die for added interest

 

Bobbi’s adorable card uses elements from our new, Just Notes stamp set, Just Notes stencils, and dies, plus our  Love to Layer:  Notebook dies.  Aren’t these products the cutest?  They are perfect for Teacher Appreciation, Graduation, Back to School, Thank You, Just a Note, Friendship, and more!

Inside the Just Notes stamp set you’ll find paper clips, sentiments, washi tape patterns, a pencil, pen, memos, reminders, hearts, and more!  Mix and match these elements to create one-of-a kind, unforgettable, handmade cards.  The sweet washi tape strips might just be my favorite!  I love how Bobbi has used the stencils to create her background…it looks so striking on her dark, blue cardstock.  The new Love to Layer:  Notebook dies come in three delightful sizes, from tiny to the perfect size to fill the front of your card.  The stencils can make lined and grid paper and are so much fun to use as you can see from Bobbi’s amazing card.
