Release day...

Today is the day all of the March goodies go up for sale at Papertrey Ink. Do you want to see what's new this month? This first card features the new Rosie Posie Step 2 stamps. It is an addition to Rosie Posie and adds shading over the flowers, which really looks gorgeous! I used the big leafy swirl from Turning a New Leaf.

A doily folded over the top, some twine and a few punched butterflies adds some dimension! The sentiment is from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday.

Next, I used the new Wonderful Words: Birthday stamp set and dies. I also added the bubbles from the Birthday Style stamp set.

The Blooming Spring card uses the floral sprigs and sentiment from the new Spring Hills set with Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie Step 2 (new this month) stamp sets.

Next up is Hello Foxy. What a cute set!

Added a die cut butterfly and heart and stamping from the Modern Wood Mats stamp set.

Last is Comfort Food Additions. These are sayings that go with the older Comfort Food set. I started with a white card base that I had on hand from AC Moore and stamped the bowls from Comfort Foods in all different colors, the spoons in Soft Stone and punched out the "ice cream scoops" from cardstock and patterned paper. I used the Upper Script Alpha dies to cut out the word "party". Ice Cream sentiment is from Comfort Food Additions.
