Super Heroes and Stars...

The Papertrey Ink team is back again with another group post full of inspiration for you! Today we have superheroes and stars, what fun!

I've used the older Dress Up Dolls stamps and dies with the brand new Dress Up Dolls: Superhero stamps and dies to create this "super birthday" card! Excuse my coloring, I'm not very good at Copics yet and only own 6 colors of them! lol. However, I don't think the little boy who receives this one will mind too much!



I've also used the Sentiment Splits: Curve Vertical dies (turned on its side) and the Comic Strip Patterned Paper.

Super Birthday card:
STAMPS: Dress Up Dolls: Superhero, Dress Up Dolls
INK: True Black, Enchanted Evening
PAPER: Comic Strip
DIES: Dress Up Dolls: Superhero, Dress Up Dolls, Sentiment Splits: Curve Vertical
OTHER: Copic Markers.

Next up is a gorgeous stamp and die set called Paper Clippings: Congratulations! The die is cut from white cardstock and placed over a gray cardstock from my stash, then added some stamped and die cut stars and enamel dots.

Super quick and easy!

STAMPS: Paper Clippings: Congratulations
INK: Green Parakeet, Pure Poppy

Sweet Inspirations...

Today we have a group post for you to introduce some of Papertrey Ink's new products coming out on March 15th at 10pm EST! On my first card, I've used their new Just Desserts Sentiments stamps, the Sprinkles on Top stamps and border dies, and the Frosted Borders dies.

The card is supposed to be shaped like a cake. Does it look like a cake? Ha. :) I trimmed it down to 3.5" x 5.5".

I added the Frosted Borders dies to the top of the cake and a flower made with the Bitty Bouquet stamps and dies. The bottom border is stamped and die cut with Sprinkles On Top stamps and dies.

Birthday Cake card:
STAMPS: Just Desserts, Sprinkles on Top, Bitty Bouquets
INK: Stormy Seas, Green Parakeet, Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush
PAPER: white
DIES: Frosted Borders, Sprinkles on Top
OTHER: clear sequins - Pretty Pink Posh.
-------

Here is the Just Desserts stamp set on a tag. I used the Tasting Tag die in the background and just covered up the holes in the tasting tag with a sentiment from Just Desserts.

The cake and the berries were a lot of fun to add layers of stamping! I "kissed" the Lovely Lady layer (darker pink) cake stamp with the sprinkles stamp in red ink, then stamped it onto the tag to get the sprinkles right on the darker pink layers.



Celebrating With You Tag:
STAMPS: Just Desserts
INK: Lovely Lady, Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush, Scarlet Jewel, Green Parakeet, True Black
PAPER: white
DIES: Tasting Tag
OTHER: clear sequins - Pretty Pink Posh, twine.

-------

Last, I used the Frosted Border dies on the edge of the front panel, along with the Big Birthday Candles dies (number 11) and the Best Birthday dies (balloons). I cut the balloons 4 times from different papers and added the different colors into the centers of the balloons.

My daughter has a birthday party to attend today, so I made this card for her friend's 11th!

Happy 11 card:
STAMPS: Just Desserts Sentiments
INK: Tropical Teal, Lovely Lady, Sweet Blush
PAPER: white, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise pattern pack, Raspberry Fizz pattern pack, Tropical Teal pattern pack
DIES: Frosted Borders, Best Birthday 
OTHER: none.

Pretty Pink Posh: March Product Release...



This month I was asked to participate in the March product release for Pretty Pink Posh! They sent me some fun stamps and dies, and here is what I came up with! I used their new Scallop Circles die set and the Birdie Friends stamp set and coordinating dies. I also used my MOST favorite thing that PPP carries - their Clear Sequins!


The Scallop Circle dies have a pretty "stitched" look to them that creates a nice finished look, love that. I did some ink blending in the background, then die cut the stamps, nest, leaves and branch and stamped them. The birds, nest and branch were colored in with Copic Markers: Y15 (birds), R20 (nest) and YG11 (on branch). The background paper is by Papertrey Ink's Vintage Linens paper pad and the inks used were: Tropical Teal, Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, New Leaf and Dark Chocolate by Papertrey Ink.
