New Products for Spring & Egg Hunt...

The Papertrey Ink team has a ton of new spring products to show you today, including the Bunny Basket stamps & dies, Cover Plate: Basket die, Easter Grass die, Shaped Sayings: Easter and the Simply Spring Borders stamps & dies!  Everything you see that is new here today will be available for purchase at 10pm EST at Papertrey Ink.

Be sure to start at Nichole Heady's blog for the annual "scavenger egg hunt" as you hop through the design team's blogs to locate all of the egg icons for your chance to win! Click on the above official egg hunt photo to see it larger.
First, I have a treat wrap made with the Cover Plate: Basket die. Basically my treat wrap is a card that I placed glassine bags inside, then wrapped the seam binding around it like a little package. The glassine bags hold candy and a note.
The basket die is cut from Aqua Mist cardstock and placed over Mint Julep cardstock. I also couldn't help but to work with the Tulip Time stamps and dies again! I don't think I did them justice yesterday, gah! I love them SO!

The tag is stamped with Tulip Time, Bunny Basket and Simply Spring Borders. The Easter grass is cut with the Easter Grass die out of vellum.

Spring is in the Air Treat Wrap:
STAMPS: Bunny Basket, Tulip Time, Simply Spring Borders
INK: Bright Buttercup, Sweet Blush, Aqua Mist, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Lovely Lady, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise inks

OTHER: seam binding - Zipperstop, glassine bags, candy.

On the next card, I began with the Bunny Basket stamps to create a colorful egg background.
The Limitless Layers 2.5" Circles scalloped die was cut to place behind the Shaped Sayings: Easter die cut, then a few enamel dots were sprinkled around to finish out the "colorful" look!

Release Day: February...

Today is release day when all of the new products for the month will be available (10pm EST) at Papertrey Ink. I have a few more new sets to show you. What fun it's been with the 8th Anniversary festivities, hasn't it?

First up is the new Etched Easter Eggs, and I made some little gift tags for Easter with the stamps and dies.

The tags are cut with the new Enclosed: Basic Folded Tag, then I stamped the vines with Lovely Laurels. I tucked some Etched Easter Eggs dies into the stamped leaf sprigs.



Sequins are from the Lovely Laurels mini kit. Love these! Pink twine finishes off the tags. The eggs are actually backed with acetate cut with the Egg die, so they kind of shine and resemble stained glass, even though it's hard to see in the photos.


Easter Tag Set:
(All supplies by Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.)
STAMPS: Etched Easter Eggs, Lovely Laurels
INK: Aqua Mist, Spring Moss, New Leaf, True Black
PAPER: White
DIES: Etched Easter Eggs dies, Egg Die, Enclosed: Basic Folded Tag die
OTHER: Twine, sequins from Lovely Laurels mini kit.

Next up, an Easter card with Easter Alleluias!

Love the big fonts in Easter Alleluias! I used Lovely Laurels again in the background and just inked up half of it at a time, so I could stamp the leaf sprigs going "out" instead of in towards each other, then tucked a "He is risen" sentiment inside. Added some stamped flowers and sequins from Lovely Laurels. Then I wanted a paper to add to the top that had all the colors in it that I used on my card to tie them all together, so I decided to make my own with Background Basics: Super Stripes.

Alleluia! card:

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Welcome to another Papertrey Ink group post! We are featuring a brand new stamp set called Sweet Spring, which will be available on the 15th. I made a little treat pocket and coordinating card, then I thought of some little boxes as place holders that would be fun for an Easter dinner table...or even as little party favors.

First, I made the treat pocket with the Front and Center die. I cut one from Lavender Moon cardstock and folded the bottom up, then machine stitched the sides. The little flowers, frame and sentiment are stamped with the new Sweet Spring stamps! I used Raspberry Fizz patterned paper to make the tiny flowers, just stamped over the polkadots on the paper and cut them out. The eggs are stamped with the NEW Scrambled Eggs stamp set and die cut with the Egg die.

Next is a card stamped with the flowers again, but I used a dark purple cardstock and Raspberry Fizz and Aqua Mist patterned papers for the flowers. The background is stamped with the buttterfly and swirls from the Sweet Spring set.



Last, I thought of some little boxes to fill with candies for treat favors or place holders at Easter dinner. For each box, I cut 2 strips of patterned paper 6" x 1/2". I placed them together in the center, glued the bottoms and folded up the sides, making sure the bottoms were 1 1/2" square.

You can make these boxes any size you want, just make sure you cut them the same width that you want the bottom of the box to be. So if you want 4x4" bottoms to your boxes, you'll cut your strips 4" wide.

I trimmed the tops with scalloped scissors on all four sides...
To keep these treat boxes really simple, I just taped the sides together on the inside corners of the boxes with Scotch tape, then covered the tape on the inside with some shredded cardstock. I tied ribbon around them to hold them together tighter. Add jellybeans or any fun candies.
Sweet Spring Ensemble:
Stamps: Sweet Spring, Scrambled Eggs
Ink: Autumn Rose, True Black, Spring Rain, Simply Chartreuse, Lavender Moon
Paper: Lavender Moon cardstock, Raspberry Fizz and Aqua Mist patterned paper, yellow cardstock
Dies: Egg die, Front and Center die
Other: PTI ribbon.
