Welcome to our final day of the June Countdown.  Here at Papertrey Ink it’s our passion to bring you designs that you will love creating with.  If you like a more simple style, every product we release has elements that can take center stage to create a simple, yet designed, focal point.  If you like a little more detail, we pack each set with as many images as possible so you have the freedom to create exactly what you want.  Each of our newly released products can be used in many different ways to fit your particular style, and we can’t wait to show you how they come to life!

It’s the last day of the countdown and I am blown away by all of the gorgeous projects the designers have created.  I feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing team and to share their creativity with you, it’s such a privilege. Our final day is filled with beautiful products that will make you feel inspired, so get ready!

We’re starting off with our new Breathtaking Blooms.  I cannot tell you how excited I am about this set!  A little back story on how this set came to be…  Our wonderful Design Team member, Nina, created the MOST beautiful card (see below) and I asked her what stamp set she used.  She replied, “I freehand watercolored the florals around the verse.”  I was stunned, these flowers are so beautiful!

So, I asked her if she would design a set like this for all of us to use, and by the grace of God, she said yes and now we have this gorgeous set to create with!

Liane is our featured designer for Breathtaking Blooms today and I find her project so beautiful and soft, like I’m walking in a flower garden.

Let’s break it down to see how she created this stunning card. On her bottom layer she splattered gold paint which creates the feeling of an old brick wall. Then she used the Elegant Script Hot Foil Plate on gold paper and cut it out with our new Love to Layer: Arches for the base arch which gives it the feeling that the layer is recessed a bit, it’s such a neat effect. She then added the middle-sized arch onto the gold arch and arranged the flowers around it.  The smallest arch was added with pop dots along with the “HAPPY” sentiment and the “Birthday” die cut.

I can’t wait for you to see all of the other gorgeous cards the DT created, they are all, truly spectacular!  This set can be used for so many occasions!

Our final product to share with you is one of my most favorites of this release!  My nieces are starting to have babies and I asked Jen to design this just for that reason!  Our new Go-To Gift Card Holder: Diaper Bag is THE cutest die collection ever! Brenda is our featured designer and she knocked it out of the park!  I love every single thing about this card!

Let’s take a closer look to see how Brenda created this card.  Her background was made using Pale Peony and Spring Rain ink with our Watercolor Plaid Stencil Collection, so cute!  She then cut vellum with the largest arch from our new Love to Layer: Arches die.  Next, she created her diaper bag and all of the adorable accessories from the Go-To Gift Card Holder: Diaper Bag.  I love everything about this die.  How cute is the little chain that holds the pacifier and the baby toy?  Every detail was thought of to bring you this adorable die collection!  Of course, I will be using this every time I get a chance to create gift card holders for all of my grand nieces and nephews!  I will be carving out a little bit of time after the release, I can’t wait!
