Love & Marriage...

Welcome back to another Papertrey Ink countdown group post! Today we are highlighting a new stamp set called Love & Marriage, which will be available on the 15th.

Not only is this set great for wedding cards and Valentine's Day cards, but also for anniversaries. My goal with today's post is to show you several anniversary card ideas!

This card has the quote from Love & Marriage and the arrows from Tag-its #11. I stamped the arrows in Lavender Moon ink, so pretty in real life, but hard to photograph! The heart is stamped in Smokey Shadow and is from the new Tag-its #11 set also. I punched 2 holes in the heart to hang it like a banner from the twine.
Originally I was going to have the lacy Filgree border at the top of the card, but then I decided to have my Filigree Border on the bottom. The problem I created was that I had already sewn a Heart border on over the top of the Filigree, which meant that my heart border was now upside down! I didn't want to start my card over, so I folded the hearts down to create an interesting lacy, dimensional border! (see below)

 Together Forever Anniversary card:

Stamps: Love & Marriage, Tag-its #11
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Lavender Moon
Paper: Studio Calico (blue), white cardstock, Pink Paislee (text)
Dies: Filigree Border, Heart Border, 2" circle punch
Other: Smokey Shadow button, True Black ribbon, Sweet Blush ribbon, PTI twine.

On this card, I simply stamped the heart people on the background, then added the sayings, red heart, and postmark from the Love & Marriage set. Cardstock is Sweet Blush.

You and Me card:

Stamps: Love & Marriage

Ink: Sweet Blush, Pure Poppy, True Black, Smokey Shadow

And last, I stamped the saying and hearts from Love & Marriage onto Pink Paislee's Vintage Vogue Tailered Suit paper. You could also use Papertrey Ink's Text Style Backgrounds for a similar look!

The tree is stamped onto vintage book paper with Pure Poppy and True Black ink. The tree stamps and die are from the new Tree Tops set! I used Aqua Mist ink to stamp the frames under the patterned paper, which are from the new Happy Day stamp set.

Two Hearts card:

Stamps: Love & Marriage, Tree Tops, Happy Day

Ink: True Black, Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush

Paper: Pink Paislee, white cardstock

On all of these cards, all you have to do is write "Happy Anniversary" on the inside of the card to turn them into anniversary cards. Perfect for your spouse, parents, aunt and uncles' anniversaries, etc. Stop over to see more "Love & Marriage" projects by the Papertrey Ink team!

all kinds of fun...

That's what I had when creating with the new Papertrey Ink stamps this month! ha All of the new sets come out on the 15th of every month, and you can see them on the main page at www.papertreyink.com. They are so cute. Are you ready to see? OK, here we go...

The first card is made with my absolute favorite set this month. It's called Mehndi Medallion. The details are just amazing in these stamps! So many cool things you can do with the circles!

I layered a large circle, then a red one in the center. Then I stamped some yellow ones and punched them out with a scalloped circle punch that I have. You can leave them flat or pop them up for dimension! I added a sentiment from the new Think Big Favorites #5 set and lots of layers of Papertrey Ink cardstock.

 Thank You card:

Stamps: Mehndi Medallion, Think Big Favorites #5
Ink: Pure Poppy, True Black, and yellow/pink by Jenni Bowlin
Paper: vintage book paper and Papertrey Ink cardstock
Dies: scalloped punch from my stash
Other: resin keyhole by Melissa Frances

This one was also made with Mehndi Medallion.

I made a pattern with the circles for my background, then added a label sticker and chipboard over the top. I stamped "Sweet" in True Black from the Sweet Baby stamp set.

Sweet Girl card:

Stamps: Mehndi Medallion, Sweet Baby
Ink: True Black, Pure Poppy, and Yellow/pink by Jenni Bowlin
Paper: vintage book paper, yellow cardstock
Dies: none, punch is Martha Stewart 1" scalloped circle

This card is made with the new Gracious Vases stamp set.

I used some of my favorite flowers from the set to stamp across the card with Jenni Bowlin ink and added one or two of the flowers in red for the "Cherished" flowers. :) I had fun looking through my stash for some papers I haven't used in a long time and found these October Afternoon - Detours papers and die cuts. Lovin' the color combo.

 You are Cherished card:

Stamps: Gracious Vases
Ink: Pure Poppy (red) and Jenni Bowlin - Chewing Gum (pink)
Paper: October Afternoon - Detours, white cardstock
Dies: none
Other: resin swirl - Melissa Frances, ribbon - Papertrey Ink, tab - October Afternoon - Detours

Here is the new Flower Fusion #5 stamp set.

I stamped the flower and cut it out, then popped up the top of the flower with dimensional adhesive. The sentiment was masked off, so I could fit a little bit of it on each side of the flower. I pleated the ribbon with my sewing machine and then attached it to my card.

You're the Best card:

Stamps: Flower Fusion #5
Ink: True Black, Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz
Paper: Crate Paper - Toy Box (journaling card), blue cardstock
Dies: Flower Fusion
Other: Ribbon - Cosmo Cricket, brad - Crate Paper 

----------

This is the new Tag-its #5 stamp set. The circles are stamped with Hawaiian Shores ink, very subtle. Added a Crate Paper sticker, brad and 2 felt hearts. Super quick and easy card.

 Love You, Love You card:

Stamps: Tag-its #5
Ink: Hawaiian Shores, True Black
Paper: Papertrey Ink cardstock
Dies: none
Other: sticker and brad - Crate Paper, Papertrey Ink felt.
