Papertrey Ink May Release Countdown Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the Papertrey Ink May Release. My projects today feature have a western flair!  All the new products will be available on May 27th at 12pm EDT.

A Home on the Range Hot Foil Plate and Border Bling: Lasso Dies! How creative is that! To create this fun background I started with a piece of white cardstock and foiled the A Home on the Range Hot Foil Plate with a copper foil. Then I used a stencil with Spring Rain Ink to stencil the clouds. I added the grass with the Grassy Edge Die.

There are two dies in the Border Bling: Lasso Dies. This is the larger one. I die cut from Fine Linen cardstock and blended the edges with Classic Kraft Ink. The boots are stamped with the new Cowboy Reverie Stamps and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

The flowers are stamped with the new Wild Petals Stamp Set and Dies. The sentiment is from the new Cowboy Logic Stamp Set.

Next I create fun jean pockets that can be filled up with the new Cornered: Jean Pocket Dies.

I filled the pockets with flowers and greenery that I created with the new Wild Petal Stamp Set and coordinating dies. I stenciled the pocket with the Pocket Embellishment Stencils and Pure Poppy Ink.

Papertrey Ink January Release Countdown Day 1

From the Heart with Taylored Expressions

Today Taylored Expressions is releasing new products that will help us in sending cards to those who need encouragement through long-term illness, sharing sympathy with those who have lost loved ones, and continuing to remember the loss years down the road with a special card to let them know their loved one hasn't been forgotten.  These products are available now in the TE Store. 

I used two of the new products to create my first card, the Set the Scene - Mountain Tops Stencils and the Wings of Love Stamp Set. I started by cutting a piece of Sugar Cube Cardstock to fit the card front  and then stenciled the mountains in Lavender Glaze, Macaron, Dried Fig, and Eggplant Inks. I left an area at the bottom for the grass, blending Sweet Basil Ink. 

I stamped the birds and the sentiment with the new Wings of Love Stamp Set. I stamped in VersaFine Clair - Nocturne and embossed with TE Clear Embossing Powder. I added the trees with the dies in the Tiny Town Dies. 

Next I have a group of cards I created with the new Watercolor Panels - Faithful Flowers. Each panel is printed on watercolor paper. There are six new TE Liquid Watercolors being released, Cilantro, Dried Fig, Huckleberry, Jalapeño, Tropical Punch, and Sour Gummy. 

There are also three new set of Insiders Panel being released, Encouragement, Remembrance, and Sympathy. I have linked them below. 

On this card I used Sour Gummy, Dried Fig, Cilantro, Jalapeño, and Lemon Meringue water colors. Once the watercolors were dried I stenciled around the edges with Salt Water Taffy Ink using the Masking Stencils - Frayed Edge. On each card I splattered a little white point and finished off with Glitter Drops. 

Here the watercolors are used are Huckleberry, Tropical Punch, Cilantro, Jalapeño, and Tropical Punch. The extra sentiments I added to each card are from the Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating Sincere Sentiment Dies. 

On the final card I used Dried Fig, Cilantro, and Jalapeño.
