Papertrey Ink March Release Countdown Day 3

Hi and welcome to Day 3 day of the Papertrey Ink March Release Countdown. I have two more projects to share with you today. All the new products will be available on March 26th at 10 PM ET. 

My first few projects feature the new Bookmarked Stamp Set and coordinating Dies. On my first project I incorporated the bookmark on to the front of my card. The other elements are from the new Just Notes Stamp Set and Dies and the Love to Layer: Notebook Dies. 

I added the notebook paper to the card front and then stamped the strip of tape in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. Rather than glue the strip down I wrapped the corners around the card and glued them down. I hung the bookmark on the tape but it can easily be removed and used as a bookmark. 

I used the Border Bling: Frayed Edges Dies to add the frayed edges to the card front. 

There are a number of different options in the Bookmarked Stamp Set and coordinating Dies to create bookmarks. Here is a look at the the three animal options. 

There is also three flower options along with the pencil and the ruler.

Other: Just Notes: Stencil, White Embossing Powder, Paper Clip, White Gel Pen, Black Jewels

Next is a look at the Always In Bloom Stamp Set and Dies. This a beautiful set full of pretty flowers and beautiful greenery. I have listed the inks I used below. 

After I had stamped and die cut the flowers and greenery I arranged them on a panel die cut with the Love to Layer: Deckled Dies and stenciled with the  Watercolor Wonderful Stencil. The sentiment is from the new Mother's Day Sentiments stamp set. 

The background is created with the Cover Plate: Exquisite and True Black Cardstock. I added a strip of Sweet Blush Cardstock in the the center of the card and finished off with a few Moonshine Sequins: Fresh Snow.

Papertrey Ink March Release Countdown Day 3

Papertrey Ink August Release Sneak Peeks

Hi all! The Papertrey Ink August Sneak Peeks started this week but I have been on vacation and just now getting a chance to start sharing my projects with you. This release is all about Halloween, back to school, and the first products for fall. Everything will be available for purchase beginning at 10 PM EST, Thursday, August 18th.

My first two projects feature the new Go-To Gift Holder: Backpack dies and Accessories Stamp Sets and Dies. On my first sample I had a teacher in mind. You can see how the gift card fits perfectly in the pocket of the backpack at the top. I love the cute polka dot pocket with the zipper. I stamped the zipper in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the zipper handle from gold foil. 

The background on this card is die cut with the Cover Plate: Apples Die. You can punch the apples out but I chose to leave the apples inserted. I attached the backpack gift card holder to the front of the card. Then you can write a note to your teacher on the inside of the card. 

Stamps: Go-To Gift Holder: Backpack

Dies: Go-To Gift Holder: Backpack, Go-To Gift Holder: Backpack Accessories, Cover Plate: Apples

Paper: Stamper's Select White, True Black, Sweet Blush, Hibiscus Burst, Simply Chartreuse, Gold Foil

Other: Gold embossing Powder, Sequins, Glue, Copic Markers

On my second example I created a gift card holder to give to your favorite student as the kids head back to school. I used the plaid front pocket stamp on this card, stamping Versamark Ink on Aqua Mist Cardstock and embossing with white embossing powder. I added one of sentiments from the stamp set. 

I tucked a notebook behind the gift card and added a few accessories. 

Stamps:  Go-To Gift Card Holder

Dies: Go-To Gift Card Holder, Go-To Gift Card Holder Accessories

Ink: Enchanted Evening, Aqua Mist, Pure Poppy, Classic Kraft, Summer Sunrise, True. Black, Versamark

Paper: Stamper's Select White, Aqua Mist, New Leaf, Enchanted Evening, Silver

Other: Silver Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder, Glue

Next up is the first look at Fall! The focal point of the card is the new Larger Than Life: Fall Die and the Larger Than Lift Fall Sentiments. I started by cutting the "Fall" sentiment from gold foil, and then three more times from Stamper's Select White Cardstock. I layered the die cuts one on top of the other before I attached the sentiment to the card front. I stamped the smaller sentiment in Versamark Ink on Pure Poppy Cardstock and embossed with gold embossing powder. 

I die cut the background with the Cover Plate: Maple Leaves Die and then inlayed the leaves back into the card front with a variety of fall colors. I added the flowers and additional greenery with the Sprigs & Sprays: Fall Stamp Set and Dies. 

Thanks for stopping by! I will back tomorrow with more new products to share with you. Stop by the PTI Blog for all the details.

New Teacher Appreciation and Graduation Release at Taylored Expressions

I Love My Teacher!

Hi Friends! Well it is that time of year when we start thinking about the end of the school year and how we can thank our teachers for all the time, effort, and support that they given our children throughout the school year.

I created a thank card and gift card holder with some great products from Taylored Expressions. 

I created the background with the Alphabet Soup Cutting Plate. I die cut the cutting plate twice and then adhered the two layers together for extra dimension. I really like this cutting plate and think it would also be great for anything school related, new baby cards, and children's birthday cards. 

I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Pop Ink with the Apple Of My Eye Stamp Set and die cut with the Apple Stacklets. The stem is die cut with the Apple Stem and Seeds die in Granny Smith Ink. (see links below)

I used the Tag Pocket Die to create this gift card holder. The tag would look cute die on a small gift or a gift bag. I added one of the smaller apples in the Apple Of My Eye Stamp Set. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I given you some inspiration to start on your end of school year gifts!
