Papertrey Release Sneak Peeks Day 1

 It's the first day of sneak peeks at the Papertrey Ink July Release. I have two projects to share with you today. All the new products will be available on July 30th at 10 pm ET.



My first card features the Into the Blooms: Zinnia. This die set just makes a beautiful statement. I die cut the flowers from Stamper's Select White Cardstock and then blended Pale Peony, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz Ink. I highlighted the center of the flowers with Copic Markers and Stickles in Star Dust. 


Then I glued down the centers of the flowers and added a few pink gems. 


The background is die cut with the Cover Plate: Cross Stitched with True Black Cardstock and Pale Peony Cardstock behind the die cuts. The sentiment if from the Mother's Day Sentiments Stamp Set.

Dies: Into the Blooms: Zinnia, Mother's Day Sentiments, Cover Plate: Cross Stitched 
Ink: Pale Peony, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, True Black, New Leaf, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise
Paper: True Black, Pale Peony, Stamper's Select White
Other: Pink Gems, Blender Brushes, Glue. Stickles, Copic Markers


My second project is created with the new Reflections: July Stamp Set and Reflections: July Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Dark Indigo Ink and die cut with the Reflections: July Dies. I lightly stenciled clouds in the background before I stamped the sentiment. 


The background is stenciled with the Berry Branches Stencil, on of my favorites. I used Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, Dark Indigo, Mint Julep, and New Leaf Inks. 


I added a few additional flowers and leaves with the Breathtaking Blooms Stamp Set.

Petal Pops

Hi! I am back today is another Throwback Thursday. Today Taylored Expressions is releasing products that include $100+ freebie products from May & June 2024 plus new products to coordinate with the previously released freebies. I have a card to share with you that I created with the Petal Pop Dies and the Pop Sentiments.


This fun card is easy to create with the Petal Pop Dies and new Shaker Bubbles that are eight in a set. I went with a Mini Slim Card. To created the background I stenciled the clouds with the  Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips and the Build a Scene - Grassy Hills die set.


The flower, leaves, stem, and bees are all created with the  Petal Pop Dies. I die cut the flower from Guava Cardstock and stenciled the hearts with the Mini Slim Stencil - Swiss Hearts Stencil and Guava Ink. I added Lemonheads to the shaker. Any small candy would work. Money or small jewelry is another idea. 


You use the Pull to Open Die on the inside of the card to so the contents can be removed. 


The sentiment is from the the new Pop Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with Pop Sentiments Dies.

Throwback Thursday with Taylored Expressions

I am back today with a very floral Throwback Thursday! Taylored Expressions is bringing back the March and April Gift with Purchase items, along with NEW coordinating items. I have three projects to share with you today. 


My first card features the All Planned Out 2 Dies. The dies eliminate the need to measure and creates perfectly sized windows and a fun scalloped border. 


Once we get to the middle of summer I find myself thinking about created for fall and all the holidays in the second half of the year. So this will be my first Fall card! I pulled out my Garden Variety - Fall dies and created a variety of leaves and acorns. I also used the Layer It - Toadstools die set.



The Hello sentiment and small gold accents are included in the All Planned Out 2 Die Set. The smaller sentiment is from the Mini Strips - Hello Add-Ons. 


Next up is a look at the Framed Flowers Stamp Set and Dies and the Label Stacklets 13 Dies. The stamp set includes a variety of blooms and frames that can be used individually or together. 


I stamped the flowers in Oreo Ink and colored with Olo Markers. I die cut the flowers with the coordinating dies and then die cut two more times and glued the layers together. I like the dimension the layers add. I stamped the frame and the blended Rose Water and Fruit Punch ink on the background and die cut with one of the dies in the Labels Stacklets 13 Dies. 


The background is stenciled with the Pretty Petals Stencil. I used Rose Water Ink on the top half and Fruit Punch on the bottom. The layout of the card is so easy to create with the All Planned out 1 Dies. 


I created a second card in the same manner using Mint Julep and Poblano Pepper cardstocks and inks. The sentiments are also included the the Framed Flowers Stamp Set.

Easy Edgers

Hi and thank for stopping by today. I am sharing a project I made with a few new products from Taylored Expressions. 


This pretty background is created with the Flower Fields 6x6 Stamp & Stencil Combo. The background is stamp in Rock Candy Ink and then then I stenciled with Sprinkles, Kiwi, Dill Pickle, and Blueberry Inks. 


I used the Easy Edgers Dies to add the borders at the bottom of the card. I love having border edges dies in my stash, perfect for when you want to just add a little more detail to your project. 


The sentiments are from the Big Hello Stamp set and die cut with the Big Hello Coordinating Dies. I finished off the card with a few Lemon Meringue Enamel dots.
