Quilted: Winter + Tag Sale: Quilted die...

Welcome to the Papertrey Ink countdown where we'll be showing you sneak peeks of the new products coming out on Oct. 15th at Papertrey Ink! I am working with the new Quilted: Winter stamps and dies today + the Tag Sale: Quilted die.

I'm also using some new paper! Check out the background paper, isn't it adorable!! This is from the new Holiday Plaid Patterned Paper Collection. I love, love, love this paper pad. You'll be seeing it a lot from me this release. I used the Tag Sale: Quilted die in the background with Aqua Mist cardstock, then added the Quilted: Winter die cut over the top.

Some of the snowflake pieces were stamped and tucked back into the snowflake to add color. A bit of fine glitter was added over the top.

Here is a set of gift tags. I cut the Tag Sale: Quilted die frame in white, along with the Quilted: Winter die in white as well, but this time, I used the Quilted: Winter stamps to stamp the backgrounds in a couple of shades of ink before adding the snowflake frame over the top. (You could totally do a shaker style tag with this idea, just pop up the snowflake frame and add a clear acetate window with glitter or raindrops underneath!)

The cute banner die comes with the Tag Sale: Quilted die set. I added some Rainstones over the top.

One more with a bit more stamping involved on this one...

For this card, I was inspired by colors in the Holiday Plaid paper, so I cut out the snowflake die, stamped the little pieces and placed them back in. I used Scarlet Jewel, Spring Moss, Ocean Tides and Classic Kraft inks.

9pm EST: "Sweet sugar coated embellishments"

I have another video to share with you, this time on making your own Sugar Coated Embellishments for your cards and projects. I am working with the Wonderful Words: Holiday dies and will show tips and techniques to adding fun glittery stripes and polkadots to dress up your die cuts!

You'll need:
1. some words die cut out of cardstock,
2. Ultra Fine Prisma Glitter and
3. 1/8" Scor Tape to create the striped effect you see here on this "peace" word on my holiday card set.

I've prepared a video for you showing my technique. I think it will be easier to explain by showing you instead of just pictures!

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope you've enjoyed Stamp-a-Faire so far!
