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.

Autumn style...

Is it really August already? Wow, how the summer flew by! My kids started school this week, and I just can't believe our summer break is over. At least we have fall to look forward to! Speaking of fall, we have some beautiful autumn products coming soon at Papertrey Ink! Let me show you a few of them...

First up, I used the new Brushed Off stamp set to create a colorful border on the card below and added a piece of the new Autumn Chicken Scratch Gingham paper to the top.

A new leafy die called Branching Out was cut in Classic Kraft cardstock and a sentiment from the Tucked In: New Home stamp set was added to the bottom. Any type of sentiment could be used with this card though.

INK: Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Classic Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy

PAPER: Autumn Chicken Scratch Gingham, Classic Kraft, white

Next another quick card made with Brushed Off, which I stamped in blues, oranges and greens in the background.

Don't you just love these leaves? I cut them out with a new die collection called Leaf Silhouette dies. A Canyon Clay button and a sentiment from the new Scribbled Sentiments stamps finishes it off! So easy!
