Papertrey Ink / What Do I Do With This?

Hi crafty friends!  

I'm here and I am excited to share this card using a much older Papertrey Ink product in a new updated way. 

I dug deep for this die as my stash has been packed away for some time.  Anyone remember the Rainbow Stripes Die?  I've used it with Soft Stone cardstock for a soft background element for the blooms from Into the Blooms: Dahlia Die. 

The blooms and leaves were ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks and die cut.  Shading and white pigment ink were added for dimension.  After arranging the blooms, they were adhered using liquid glue and foam tape.  A stacked sentiment from Perfect Pairs: Essentials was done in bold black ink along with a supporting sentiment strip.  To finish the card, white gems were added and then the whole card was spritzed with Shimmer Spray. 

Supplies
Stamps:  Perfect Pairs: Essentials
Dies:  Into the Blooms: Dahlia , Rainbow Stripes, Perfect Pairs: Essentials 
Paper:  Stampers Select White, Soft Stone
Ink:  Distress Oxide Inks, VersaFine Clair Nocturne
Misc:  Foam Adhesive, Shimmer Spray, White Pigment Ink, White gems

Papertrey Ink / The Great Cover Up

Hello!

I have a card share for a feature over at Papertrey Ink called The Great Cover Up.

Foiling has become very popular.  Foiling your already present dies whether they are sentiment dies or in this case the new Border Bling: Snow Flakes Die, is a way to get more out of your dies.  Using smooth cardstock, the Border Bling: Snow Flakes Die was foiled using Skybright foil from Spellbinders.  It's such a pale shade of blue and perfect for this wintery card!  

While I had great intentions of creating a scene for this frame, I decided to change course and create a snowy shaker card!  The center of the Border Bling: Snow Flake foiled panel was die cut using a standard rectangle and backed with clear cardstock to create the shaker.  It was filled with chunky glitter.  To tie in with the foiled snowflakes, the "Let it Snow" sentiment dies included with the Border Bling: Snow Flakes Die were done using a piece of foiled cardstock and then die cut. 

 

Paper: White, Clear Cardstock

Dies: Border Bling: Snow Flakes Die

Other: Foam adhesive, Skybright Foil, Chunky Glitter

Papertrey Ink / The Great Cover Up

Hello!

I am up over at Papertrey Ink with 'The Great Cover Up' feature this week.  

For this week's 'The Great Cover-Up Feature', I decided to do some layering and impressing of dies from Papertrey Ink.  I started with the background.  The Cover Plate: Ornate Die was impressed into a piece of Sweet Blush cardstock.  Next the layering element, the largest Delicate Doilies Die was die cut from white cardstock and the next largest Delicate Doilies Die was impressed into that layer for a subtlie look but not too busy.  An assortment of blooms from Sprigs & Sprays were added to the pitcher element from Abundant Blooms.  As finishing touches, a simple hello, from Just Sentiments: Happy Hello, was stamped and a few pearls added.

Supplies

Stamps:  Sprigs & Sprays, Abundant Blooms, Just Sentiments: Happy Hello
Dies:  Cover Plate: Ornate Die, Delicate Doilies Die
Misc:  Pearls, Foam Adhesive

Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) / What do I do with this?

There is a new challenge over at Ink to Paper/Papertrey Ink called What do I do with this?

We were challenged to use some WOW! Embossing Powders that are now available in the shop!

Adding accents with embossing powder is such a great way to add texture.  Here on the bloom from Lush Bloom, the "third" layer would normally be a darker color of ink but here I've added Versamark,  the Sunburst WOW! Embossing Powder, and heat embossing.  This gives this third layer some shine and texture!  

I've added my bloom to the largest doily from Delicate Doilies Die set with foam adhesive.  The doily was added to a white notecard that was scored to have a raised border around the perimeter. To finish, the sentiment was added to fit in below the bloom along with some sparkling gems.

Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) / What do I do with this?

There is a new feature over at Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) called "What do I do with this?"  Ink to Paper recently started carrying WOW! Embossing Powders in the shop.

I had some fun experimenting with how to use this colorful embossing powder called Sunburst.  So I pulled out Cake Please because it has this amazing layering image that I thought would be perfect for this embossing powder!  I also embossed the centers of the sparkler images.

The cake stand and 'happy birthay' were heat embossed with WOW! Metallic Silver Ultra High Embossing Powder.  Love how this embossing powder gives a full raised look!  The cake was added to background that was impressed with the Border Bling: Dainty Deliveries Frame Die.  The cake was embellished with some florals from Cake Please and some clear droplets.

Ink to Paper / From My Heart

Hello!

Did you catch the latest Ink to Paper release?  

There's a fabulous new large sentiment die!!!

♥ Never Too Far Die ♥

****SHOP for all your Ink to Paper HERE****

I created this simple card using this large sentiment that is perfect for a focal point on a CAS card.  I layered it over a panel of vellum that was layered over the Brushed Plaid Stamp Set stamped in red ink.  I added a red die cut frame using Skinny Heart Frames Die.

Ink to Paper / XO

Did you catch the latest Ink to Paper release?  

There is a fabulous new set that coordinates with a new favor box die.

♥ Wreath Favor Box Sentiments ♥

****SHOP for all your Ink to Paper HERE****

To start, I created my own polka dot pattern on the blue card stock.  Using a random circle stamp from an older Papertrey Ink set, I stamped the circle over and over using Versamark ink.

After creating for the holidays for months, I wanted to use some fresh colors!  So I went with blues and yellows for the blooms on the florals.  I added the florals to a wreath stamped in grey ink.  I love the neutral look.  To keep this simple, I added a die cut sentiment using the XO Heart Frames Die.

Ink to Paper / So much love

Did you all catch the latest Ink to Paper release?  It's all about LOVE and I'm in LOVE!

There are so many great sets centered around love but the set I'm featuring can be used all year round.

♥ Branches of Love ♥

****SHOP for all your Ink to Paper HERE****

I started by die cutting the Border Bling: Believe in white cardstock.  The center of this has a pierced detail and I like to highlight this by masking this section off and ink blending.  This serves as a perfect place to center your focal point and sentiment.

All the pieces of the Branches of Love were stamped and die cut.  It was fun to arrange this and I decided on a landscape oriented card.  The sentiment was selectively stamped to fit in the space around my vase and branches.  Aren't those danging hearts so fun?  The details you see on them happen when you die cut them!  I added some glitter to half of the small hearts for fun!

I layered my stamped lantern onto the cut out area with foam adhesive,  I love the dimension the lantern has!  

This bouquet of florals could literally be stamped in any color but I went for more of a fall/holiday palette.  

The bouquet was added with foam adhesive and some white gems for some shine.
