Stars, Stripes, & Picnics!

Hi Friends! It's Day 2 of the Papertrey Ink May Release Countdown.  This release is all about summer, sunshine, beach, and summer treats. The new products will be available for purchase on May 28th at 10:00 ET. 

My first card screams Summer! I created this one for the 4th of July. The card is created with the new Life's A Picnic Sentiments Stamps and Dies and the Picnic Time Dies. 

I stamped the sentiment on Pure Poppy Cardstock in Versamark Ink and the embossed with white embossing powder. Next I created the adorable popsicle, pie, hot dog, and watermelon. I have listed the cardstocks and inks I used listed below.  

I added the smaller sentiment to the pie. I die cut extra stars from red glittered cardstock to add to the pie and as additional accents. 

The background is foiled with the previously released Stargazing Hot Foil Plate and red foil. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Life's A Picnic Sentiments

Dies: Life's A Picnic Sentiments, Picnic Time

Ink: Versamark, Spring Rain, Classic Kraft, Pure Poppy

Paper: Stamper's Select White, Enchanted Evening, Pure Poppy, Antique Linen, Vintage Cream, Classic Craft, Bright Buttercup, True Black, New Leaf, Sweet Blush, Spring Rain

Other: Stargazing Hot Foil Plate, Red Foil, White Embossing Powder, Stickles in Star Dust, Red Glittered Cardstock

On my second card I used the Life's A Picnic Sentiments Stamps and Dies and the Picnic Time Dies again and added the sunshine with the new Cornered: Summer Sun. This is a 4 1/2 by 6 1/4 size card which gives you a little more space. I started by cutting a piece of Stamper's Select White Cardstock to fit the card front and stenciled with the Buffalo Plaid Stencil Collection with Aqua Mist Ink. 

After I stenciled I die cut the upper corners with the new Cornered: Summer Sun and added yellow ink blended cardstock behind the suns. Then I arranged the fun food items I created with the Picnic Time Dies. The sentiment is included in the Life's A Picnic Sentiment Set. I think you could used these products to create invitations to any summer get together. 

I added the bottom border with the Border Bling: Skinny Star Frames, just using one side of die cut. I finished off with a few scattered blueberries that I accented with blue gems.

My first card features the new In the Pocket Dies, the Party Time Stamp Set, and the Into the Blooms: Cherry Blossoms Dies. 

The In the Pocket Dies are perfect for creating invitations. The dies create the pocket and the invitation insert to go in the packet. I created my invitation with a bridal shower in mind. I am the mother of four daughters! I created the pocket in Sweet Blush Cardstock and stenciled the polka dots on the outside pocket with the Dots Stencil Collection. I used the Party Time Stamp Set to stamp the necessary information on the pocket insert. 

On the outside pocket I added the fence with Picket Fence Die and the flowers with the new Into the Blooms: Cherry Blossoms. I cut the flowers from Stamper's Select White Cardstock and the blended Sweet Blush and Hibiscus Burst inks. I also added Lovely Lady Sequins to the centers of the flowers.
