Floral foliage.

Welcome to Day 1 of the countdown festivities for Papertrey Ink! Today I'm focusing on the new Floral Foliage stamps and dies that are coming out on the 15th. On the first card, I started by making the card base from the Hexagon Cover Plate die out of white cardstock and folded it in half. I placed it over the top of vellum! Love how it looks!

I die cut the Floral Foliage tree from a piece of paper by Crate Paper and used Fine Linen patterned paper by PTI for the tree trunk. The "thank you" is from an older set called Peaceful Garden. (I couldn't fit the sentiment on from the Floral Foliage set on this one.)

Thank You vellum card:

On the second card, I focused mainly on the stamps. I stamped the large tree top in the center and embossed it with white embossing powder on Fine Linen cardstock, then stamped the little flowers flowing down the card - also embossed. I really like how the big tree top looks like a doily here! The sentiment is from this Floral Foliage set also.
I used some leaves from a new set called The Sweet Life that you'll see soon, a leaf die called Sending You, and some red Papertrey Ink felt.

Everything I could ever want in a friend card:

STAMPS: Floral Foliage

INK: Fresh Snow, Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, True Black
PAPER: Fine Linen cardstock, Simply Chartreuse Pattern Pack, plaid paper by Lily Bee
DIES: Sending You die
OTHER: white embossing powder.

This one is made with My Mind's Eye paper, and I stamped the tree tops on the doily patterned background, embossed them so they would pop off of the gray background, then I used the Half & Half die collection to cut the pretty tag. This is my favorite mix of colors right now - they look so cute with the gray.

Added some seam binding and a little Crate Paper - Neighborhood brad.

Last, I used another Half & Half die cut tag and stamped the tree with Hibiscus Burst ink and Classic Kraft ink.

The denim-looking hearts are cut with the Heart Border die.
