Inside & Out: Get Well Wishes...

We're back with group post #2 for Papertrey Ink's November countdown. Today we are showcasing a new set called Inside & Out: Get Well Wishes. There are so many pretty sentiments in this set that have just the right words you might need during a difficult time when you aren't sure what to say. This set will be available on Nov. 15th.

I stamped the Inside & Out: Get Well saying on graph paper and cut a Rustic Wreath from text paper to put around it. Some Rosie Posie flowers are stamped in the background and on the Rosie Posie dies to add over the wreath, with polka dot leaves from Mighty Oak tucked in as well.

The inside of the card is stamped another sentiment from this set...

INK: True Black, Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush, Aqua Mist
PAPER: white, Aqua Mist, patterned paper by Crate Paper, graph paper

On the second card, I tried my hand at more of a masculine feel, so instead of stamping flowers in the background, I stamped the leaves from Rosie Posie in Classic Kraft ink. I kept this card very similar, just changing a few colors.

The blues, greens and browns add a more masculine feel.

apple prints and wonderful words: thank you...

Here are a couple more new stamp sets that came out in August by Papertrey Ink, and I just adore them! Apple Prints and Wonderful Words: Thank You.

Made a little card set with these goodies and some Crate Paper patterned paper.

On the apple card, I die cut the apple from several sheets of notebook paper (with one cut since they are so thin!), stamped the apple and stem, then stitched down the center. The reason I used more than one sheet of notebook paper is because the paper is so thin, and I wanted to have a thicker look to the apple.)

The patterned paper piece pulls out, so you can write something on the back or attach a gift card. The paper came that way - I didn't use mist on these to get the little droplets- I simply cut out the paper from the sheet and inserted it into a folded doily, then added the apple over the top.

On the next card, the tree is cut from Mighty Oak, then I used the Apple Prints dies to cut a bunch of patterned paper apples. Who says apples have to be red and green, right?! I love the clean look with the white, yet it's layered with lots of texture, interest and patterns!

The doilies are from the craft store, you can find them in the baking section, and they are very inexpensive. I don't know what it is about doilies, but I'm infatuated with them. They make such cute cards. I snipped the "Thank You" apart here because it was too long to fit across the bottom of my card, and I wanted to be able to see the whole sentiment. Use the products they way they suit you! Snip them apart if you need to. ;)

Hope these get you in the mood to craft. Have a sweet day. xo

mighty oak and latte love...

Hi everyone! As some of you may know, my Papertrey Ink box was lost in the mail last month, and I didn't receive my Papertrey Ink goodies in time to participate with the design team group posts. I was so bummed that I missed out on all the fun - but loved seeing all of the other beautiful projects! I was anxious to get started when a new box arrived at my step! So today I'm sharing a few things made with the last release. You can see all of these new stamps sets and dies HERE on the main page.

My first set of cards (I have three) were all made with the Mighty Oak stamps and dies. I LOVED working with this set! So many amazing things you can do with it!

It's so easy to get this card right because of the die.

All you do is cut one time, and then pop out the leaves and stamp them, then place them back in. I layered the white cut out over a white base. For the sentiment, I inked up the whole stamp with Classic Kraft, then dipped the top of the sentiment in Dark Chocolate to get the 2-toned look.

I used lots of warm tones, but left the tree white to keep it simple. And now after looking at it again, I think this would make a gorgeous holiday card in some soft, cool, wintery colors with a bit of sparkle, don't you think?! Must make more of these!

For my second card, I wanted to try something different with the leaves.

I started by stamping the background in Background Basics: Morocco in True Black and added the Harvest Gold centers. Then I stamped a few leaves with Melon Berry, Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores and Smokey Shadow inks and placed them in a circle pattern. I chose colors that I thought would go well with the black and yellow. (The Smokey Shadow ones were "stamped off" once to get a lighter gray.)

After all the circles were attached, I tied a piece of seam binding around it and wet the top of the ribbon to crinkle it up. Added a frame that was cut and stamped with Boutique Borders: Sympathy. The pin is by Crate Paper, Maggie Holmes' collection. (Punch a hole and slide it right onto your card.)

The last one was really quick and easy.

I pulled out Melon Berry, Pure Poppy, Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores and Ocean Mist inks and stamped a few falling leaves. I added some swirls in Soft Stone ink from the Happy Trails stamp set. Then a Mighty Oak tree die cut over the top, trimmed at the edge.

A quick card when you're in a hurry!

Here are a couple of things made with the new Latte Love stamp set and the Coffee Cozy dies! See Nichole's blog here with a video on how to make the Coffee Cozy. I used Papertrey Ink felt for mine.

It fits right around a Starbucks cup perfectly, and would make a cute little gift! I thought maybe by inserting a gift card into an empty, clean mug and then wrap the cozy around it with a tag, it would be great for a gift for the holidays for that coffee lover in your life.

You can even fold it flat for easy mailing. I cut a Wonderful Words: Holiday die from Classic Kraft felt to attach to the front and stitched up the side with twine, tying it in a bow at the top and adding one of my PaperClay buttons I made here.

And here is a card that could be given along with the Coffee Cozy. This was made with the new Latte Love stamp set. First I used the Autumn Pattern Pieces stamps to stamp the background in Aqua Mist ink. (I thought the diamonds would go well with the design in the last coffee cup!)

Then I stamped the coffee cup stack in white, embossed it with white embossing powder and colored the little cups in with Copics! My first Copics I've purchased...and I really enjoyed coloring the images in with them. Now I know what all the fuss is about - it IS fun!

Please stop back to my blog again in a few days, and I'll try to have more projects finished and posted with the last release goodies! All products listed below are by Papertrey Ink, unless otherwise noted. Have a great one, friends!!
