Introducing "It's The Thought"...

I can't believe it's countdown time again! The Papertrey Ink team will be previewing several new products that will be released this month on the 15th, so today I get to share with you a new stamp set called It's The Thought! I've also used a paper pack that was released last month that I just received, the Floral Sketches patterned paper collection, available HERE! I love these papers! They make quick and easy cards by simply adding a quick sentiment to them!
I've got three cards for you today.

The first was made with the darker gray floral paper and a sentiment from It's the Thought. A piece of vellum was embossed with white embossing powder, then I trimmed the edges with my scissors and machine stitched it onto my card front before adding it to a card base. The gray patterned paper has white flecks in it...very pretty. I did trim down the sides and added it to another lighter gray paper in the paper pad.

On the next card, I added a light gray paper behind this floral, then heat embossed the sentiment from It's The Thought right onto the preprinted patterned paper.
Aren't the grays so pretty with these colors?

The twine adds a little "separation" between the two papers...and a little bit of contrast to the card.

On the last card, I used the "I think of you often" sentiment from It's the Thought and again heat embossed it onto vellum. It's machine stitched on the left, and adhered with a touch of glossy accents underneath the sequins to hold it down on the right side.



"It's the Thought" will be available on July 15th at 10pm EST at Papertreyink.com.

Visit Nichole Heady's blog to see more links to view new projects made with the July releases! I'll be back tomorrow. Have a great day!

Introducing Floral Sketches & Calligraphy Classics...

Today we are previewing two new stamp sets by Papertrey Ink, Floral Sketches and Calligraphy Classics! These will be available for purchase on 5/15 at 10pm EST at Papertrey Ink. On my first set of tags, the color scheme was inspired by this pin.
The Floral Sketches stamp set was used for the flowers, and the sentiments are from Calligraphy Classics. I love, love the big font - great for a beautiful focal point for tags and cards! See the branches? Those are actually veins for the larger leaf in the floral set. They reminded me of the branches from the inspiration piece.

The tags are cut out with the Tag Sale: Quilted die.

About the stamping: the flowers are dipped in Lovely Lady ink, then the edges dipped in Pure Poppy, then I stamped the second step of the flower (outline) in Scarlet Jewel. The tiny flowers are stamped in Fine Linen and Classic Kraft (outline) inks. The leaves are Enchanted Evening with white embossed veins and the branches are stamped in Stormy Sea.
