Introducing Choose Joy + Twig Wreath...

Today we are previewing more new beautiful fall products coming out on August 15th at Papertrey Ink! My cards today are made with two new stamp sets, Choose Joy and Twig Wreath.

I've used the Twig Wreath die in white over the kraft paper that I stamped on with Choose Joy. I added some very fine glitter to the twig wreath, although it's hard to see in the photos. An Autumn Chicken Scratch Gingham Paper in navy brings out the orange flowers.


In Your Heart card:
STAMPS: Choose Joy, Twig Wreath
INK: Canyon Clay, Dark Chocolate, Classic Kraft
PAPER: Classic Kraft, Autumn Chicken Scratch Gingham paper pad
DIES: Twig Wreath, corner rounder
OTHER: fine glitter, seam binding.

Next up, I used a kraft tag that I had on hand and stamped part of the Twig Wreath onto the tag. The twig wreath is embossed with pink embossing powder, the sentiment from Choose Joy is embossed in white, and I added red embossed flowers over the top. 

Had a difficult time getting a good picture of this one, but it's really pretty in real life!

MFT Card Challenges: Sketch #241...

Welcome back to another sketch by My Favorite Things. Each Wednesday in August, I'll be posting a card made with that sketch. Here is #241:
I've decided to go spooky with my card today instead of the stars and cook up a little Halloween card with a few My Favorite Things products!

I've used a really fun background called the Die-namics Four Way Chevron Cover Up, then also the Frightfully Fun Halloween stamps and the matching dies: Die-namics Frightfully Fun Halloween. Hope over to the MFT Card Challenges blog to see what the fabulous team did with the sketch as well!

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.


Sending Heartfelt Congratulations card:
STAMPS: Brushed Off, Tucked In: New Home
INK: Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Classic Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy
PAPER: Autumn Chicken Scratch Gingham, Classic Kraft, white
DIES: Branching Out die
OTHER: Pure Poppy button, floss.
______

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!

For You card:
STAMPS: Brushed Off
INK: Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse, Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Canyon Clay
PAPER: Aqua Mist, white
DIES: Leaf Silhouette Dies
OTHER: Canyon Clay button, floss.
