Homespun with Heart

It's the 15th, and you know what that means! The Papertrey Ink team gets to show you the rest of the new things they have made with the new stamp sets for March!

This card is made with the new Framed Out #2 stamps and die.

I stamped two of the frames, and then used felt to cut out the red frame. Love how easy it is to cut felt with these dies and how the felt adds one more texture! I cut up one of the star borders to add a design to one of the frames.

Ink: Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores, Pure Poppy

Paper: white cardstock, Aqua Mist Pattern Pack

Next up is Back Pocket Basics. I couldn't help but make a "pocket" card to go with the saying!

I brushed the Vintage Cream ink pad over the white cardstock to soften it a bit.

This set is called Little Bitty Bird Additions.

I made a shaped card with the Mega Mat Stack 1 die and cut out the little fence from the bird set. Oh, see the light brown fence on the pink paper? That is the new Background Basics: Wrought Iron set. I thought it would make a cute fence to go with my gate.

This next card is just a silly, fun, kiddo card. This monkey from the Tremendous Treats: Birthday set cracked me up and I HAD to try him out! I stamped him on kraft and cut him out.

Please excuse my messy stitching. My machine messed up and I didn't have time to start all over with this one!

Here the tie from the World's Greatest set makes an awesome fish! :) My father-in-law is a great fisherman and grandpa, so this one's for him...

I made my own little fishing pole with patterned paper and twine. To create the waves, I simply used a circle punch and punched along the edge randomly.
