PTI August Release Day 4

Hello friends! We are already on the 4th and last day of reveals of the August release! Today, we are introducing you to Cover Plate: Apples die + Feathered Friends dies + Spooktacular Kit. 

I guess I had Granny Smith apples on my mind when I chose the Vintage Jadeite background paper - lol! It was a perfect match for a piece of Yupo paper that I had used with alcohol inks in my salad spinner! Yep. I have a blast spinning the ink and seeing what design will result. Here I used 3 different shades of green plus some blending solution.

This is another beautiful bird - one of my favorite series at PTI. I perched him on a branch from the Feathered Friends Mini 8 set and embellished with some florals.

STAMPS: Inside Greetings: Fall, Feathered Friends Mini 8, Blossoming Branches
INK: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart, Green Parakeet, New Leaf, Dark Chocolate, True Black; Alcohol inks in 3 shades of green
PAPER: Vintage Jadeite, White; Yupo

I love the three sizes of Mason jar dies in the Spooktacular Kit! These can be used all year for every season, so you gotta love versatility (remember yesterday's post where I used it with a winter scene?). I change up this pedestal display stand with each season and enjoy it in my crafty space. The googly eyes, orange/black/white twine, burlap, face features and ghost tag are all part of the Spooktacular kit! I added a touch of rafia to complete the scarecrow!

PTI August Release Day 3

 

Welcome back to day #3 of reveals for the August release at Papertrey Ink! Today, we are introducing you to Pumpkin Party stamps and dies + To Die For Sentiments: Hey Boo! die + Inside Greetings: Fall stamps + Scene Everywhere: Winter stamps and dies + From Our Home to Yours stamps and dies.

I thought a step card would be perfect to showcase the variety of pumpkins that are possible in this fun new set. The sentiment was made more sturdy by layering up 3 die cuts.

I pieced two of the fence die cuts together and stacked the crate on top of a hale bale die.

This may look complicated but it truly is not! There are multiple videos on creating different styles of step cards on YouTube so, give it a try sometime.

STAMPS: Pumpkin Party, Inside Greetings: Fall stamps, Haunted House 

INK: True Black, Weathervane, Smokey Shadow, Green Parakeet, Orange Zest, Amethyst Allure, Cocoa Bean
PAPER: Bitty Big: Harvest Gold, True Black, Classic Kraft, Rustic Cream, Green Parakeet
DIES: Pumpkin Party, To Die For Sentiments: Hey Boo!, Haunted House, Hay Bales

 

I wanted to have a starry night backdrop for this next winter scene set, so smooshed some distress inks on watercolor paper and splattered with Gouache paint.

Add dimension with coarse glitter on the snow drifts and by layering trees and deer with foam tape. I embellished with gold cord and bells to coordinate with the gold embossed sentiment.

STAMPS: Scene Everywhere: WInter, Sweet Scenes: Winter, From Our Home to Yours
INK: Versamark; Hawaiian Shores, Amethyst Allure, Green Parakeet, New Leaf,Honey Nut, Cocoa Bean; Salvaged Patina, Wilted Violet, Prize Ribbon distress inks
PAPER: Watercolor by Ranger; White
DIES: Scene Everywhere: WInter, Sweet Scenes: Winter, From Our Home to Yours, Beautiful Bouquet Tag
OTHER: White Gouache, Gold cord, Jingle Bells

I stumbled upon this tea light card style while browsing on Pinterest and just had to try it out. After cutting a strip of 4 1/4" x 12", score at 4" and 8" to create the easel fold.

Use vellum and adhere behind the cut out shape so the tea light can flicker and shine through. Pop up the sentiment banner with foam tape so the easel fold can rest behind it when the card is  standing up.

STAMPS: From Our Home to Yours, Scene Everywhere: Winter
INK: Green Parakeet, New Leaf, Lemon Tart, Weathervane, Smokey Shadow, Cocoa Bean; Pacific Point; Versamark
PAPER: Pacific Point textured 12 x 12; White; Vellum; Silver glitter
DIES: From Our Home to Yours, Scene Everywhere: Winter
OTHER: Small circle punch

My last card features a Mason jar die that will be revealed tomorrow, but I just had to create a sweet little scene for a shaker version!

 

I layered the sentiment die with two die cuts and offset it a bit for more visual interest. Small details can really take your card to the next level, so I added Glossy Accents to the berries and coarse glitter on the trees and snow drifts. 

Creating a shaker card from the largest Mason jar die makes that set so versatile with options for every season of the year!
 

STAMPS: From Our Home to Yours, Scene Everywhere: Winter, Corner It: Holly, Framing Fall Sentiments
INK: New Leaf, Ocean Tides, Pinefeather, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal, Lemon Tart, True Black, Weathervane, Cocoa Bean, Aqua Mist

PTI August Release Day 2

Welcome back friends! It's day #2 of revealing new August release products. Today it's all about Halloween and we are introducing you to Storybook Halloween stamps and dies + Haunted House stamps and dies + Boo Black Cat stamps and dies + Cover Plate: Pumpkins die.

There is a new storybook set and it coordinates with the dies released from the previous Storybook: Christmas stamp set.

In a recent stamp room tidy up time, I came across a box of ready-made crimped craft cards. I decided to use one for the background with these books. I also found some really old patterned paper that had some glittery swirls on it.

STAMPS: Storybook: Halloween
INK: Green Parakeet, Orange Zest, Amethyst Allure, Cocoa Bean, True Black, Bright Buttercup
PAPER: Crimped Kraft; Honeynut, White; Halloween patterned paper
DIES: Storybook: Halloween, Storybook: Christmas, Border Bling: Leaves

The Haunted House is really fun to decorate and I took some creative license and altered the architecture so it would fit an A2 size card.

STAMPS: Haunted House
INK: True Black, Orange Zest, Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Dylusions lime green spray ink
PAPER: Orange & Black textured paper; White, True Black
DIES: Haunted House, Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles, Cover Plate: Pumpkins
OTHER: White Prismacolor pencil

The pumpkin cover plate is another fun die which is so versatile with all kinds of fall images! 

 My last card today features this fun hair-raising cat!

The moon was embossed twice with WOW! Sunburst embossing powder. Doing it twice gives it a smoother, more dimensional coverage.

It's difficult for me to get good full coverage with black ink, so a MISTI tool is a must to be able to repeat the stamping multiple times.

STAMPS: Boo Black Cat
INK: True Black, Versamark
PAPER: Crimped Kraft, True Black, White, Textured Green, Patterned paper (Halloween Basics by Recollections), Silver glitter cardstock, Marvelous Magenta
DIES: Boo Black Cat, Charming Tags, Stitched Circle
OTHER: WOW! Sunburst embossing powder
