Papertrey Ink April Release - Day 1

The Propagation Garden Collection

Hi! Today I have three cards to share with you today that I created with the new The Propagation Garden Collection from Spellbinders.  

I do not have anything like this collection in my stash! The plants are beautiful and there are elements to to create chemistry bottles making this collection perfect for a variety of cards. 

On my first card I incorporated the plants with the Propagation Garden Frames Etched Dies. I will link the products below. The frame has nice wood grain details. I used a white cardstock and blended a pale gray ink of the edges. Next I created the bottles with the Laboratory Glassware Etched Dies. I love all the details you can add, including the etched lab details and the the water. 

The plants are created with the Propagation Plants Etched Dies. I love the addition of the die for the roots and the details on the plants. 

The background is embossed with the Leafy Helix Embossing Folder. It is the perfect background for these products. The sentiment is from the Propagation Garden Sentiments Stamp & Die Cutting Set. 

The Propagation Garden Frames Etched Dies can be used in two way. Here I added the extra tray to hold the bottles. 

The sentiment is included in the  Propagation Garden Sentiments Stamp & Die Cutting Set. 

You can mixed other floral die cuts with the greenery in this set. Here I used the Sealed Bouquet Etched Dies.  I also used the longer die in the Propagation Garden Frames Etched Dies to added the shelf at the bottom.

There is also a wax seal included in the collection. I love the simple "Hello" created with Oval Hello Wax Seal Stamp. I used two of the colors in the Must-Have- Wax Bead Mis Teal and highlighted the text with a Uchida - DecoColor Premium Gold Metallic Marker.

Hi Crafters! I get excited about adding new colors of ink and cardstock to my collections and today Taylored Expressions is adding four new colors to the TE collection. You can find the new colors now in the TE Store. 

On my first card I am showcasing the new cardstock colors. I used all four new colors on my card. I used Oat Milk for the bucket, Green Tea and Brussels Sprouts for the greenery, and Bleu Cheese for the smaller flowers. 

I used the Garden Variety 2 Die Set with the Rustic Pail Die to create the floral arrangement. The background is die cut with the Pierced Lattice Cutting Plate. The sentiment is from the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set and stamped in the Bleu Cheese Ink. 

The True Color Inspirations cards are perfect for coming up is new colors combos and keeping them for inspiration in the future.

I used the Triple Slim Layering Stencil - In the Garden to create my three mini slim cards. The sentiments are from the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set.

Four New Inks and Cardstock!

For Her Release from Taylored Expressions

Hi Crafters! Today I have projects to share from the new For Her Release at Taylored Expressions. These products are perfect for Mother's Day and for all the women in your life throughout the year. The products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first two cards are created with the Triple Slim - In the Kitchen Stencil and Triple Slim - In the Kitchen Cutting Plate. Once you stencil the kitchen items the die cuts all the pieces out at one time! I listed the inks I used with the stencil below.  

To create the card front I stamped one of the two stamps in the Up Against A Wall Stamp in Blue Raspberry Ink on Salt Water Taffy Cardstock. I cut a strip of TE White Woodgrain Cardstock to add the shelf at the bottom of the card. 

The sentiment is from the new What's Cookin' stamp set and die cut with the coordinating What's Cooking' dies. I added Cookie Monster Enamel Dots to accent the kitchen items. 

My next card is created in the same manner except I used one of the Foil It - Triple Slim In the Kitchen Panels with TE Black Foil. I also used the second stamp in the Up Against the Wall Stamp Set, stamping in Versamark Ink on Salt Water Taffy Cardstock and embossing with TE White Embossing Powder. 

I added another sentiment from the What's Cooking' stamp set and added a few Sugar Cube Enamel Dots. 

Next up is a look at the Garden Variety 2 Dies and the Rustic Watering Can Die. I started by die cutting the watering can from Licorice Cardstock, adding accents with a gold gel pen and lightly splattering gold paint. 

Next I die cut the flowers and greenery from the cardstock colors I have listed below, blending a little ink in the centers and edges. I used TE Gold Foil to add the centers to the flowers. 

This sentiment is from the beautiful You Are Additions Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I used the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and Rose Water Cardstock to add the center panel that is stenciled with the Take Two - Pretty Polka Stencil. I glued the panel to Sugar Cube Cardstock die with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets.

Foil It & Fun Foil Release

Scattered Blooms

Hi Friends! My projects today are created with the new Scattered Blooms Cardmaking Kit from Taylored Expressions. I have two projects to share with you demonstrating a couple different ways to use the kit. 

To create this card I used one of the Foil It – Scattered Blooms Panels with Gold Shimmer Fun Foil. Then I stenciled the flowers with the Scattered Blooms Layering Stencil. I have linked the inks I used below. I stenciled a few extra flowers to use as embellishments. 

The sentiment is die cut with the Big Hugs Die which is including in the kit. I backed the sentiment with the Big Hugs Backer which is available for purchase separately. I added a few Gold Glitter Drops to the center of a few flowers. 

My second card shows the versatility of the Scattered Blooms Cutting Plate that is included in the kit. For this card I die cut flowers from Rose Water, Fruit Punch, and Potato Chip Cardstock. Then I added more detail with a little ink blending and a white gel pen. The leaves are die cut from Mint Julep Cardstock and blended with Cilantro Ink. 

The background is die cut the Pierced Lattice Cutting Plate from Licorice Cardstock. The card front is stenciled with the Wavy Stripe Stencil and Rose Water Ink. 

The sentiment is from the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added the sentiment to an oval die cut with Stitched Oval Stacklets and the Petite Scallop Oval Stacklets.
