Papertrey Ink May 2012 Release...
May 15, 2012
Hey there! Can you believe it's the 15th of the month once again?!? School is out in just a few days here. Deep breath....not sure I'm ready for summer yet!
I'm here this morning to share the remainder of my Papertrey Ink May release projects with you. I have just three left today that haven't already been shared earlier in the countdown.
First up is a card using Maile's new Happy Hydrangea set. I gave this one to my mom for Mother's Day. I used lots of different shades of blues and purples for the hydrangeas.
That Royal Velvet ink is new this month and it is gorgeous! Such a rich, deep color. I put a bit of paper lace and woodgrain paper along the bottom edge...I think they almost look like they're peeking over a rustic wooden fence. The background was embossed with the new Simple Stripes Impression plate...can't get enough of that one!! I embossed it first, then stamped it because I wanted to give the hydrangeas a more rustic feel and allow the texture of the background to come through.
Next up is a fun and happy card using the new Heart-2-Heart #4 set. I created a fun background by stamping lots of numbers from the Birthdays by the Numbers set and adding some Doodlebug border stickers. I've had these curly borders in my stash for a while and they remind me of a curly-q phone cord, so I though they'd be perfect for this project!
For the focal point, I diecut a circle from my stamped panel using the LL: 2 1/2" circle die. I created a frame from Poppy cardstock by cutting out the pinked edge circle, then cutting the plain circle from the center of it. It's a quick and easy was to create a frame. I added a bit of that curly border sticker to my phone as well! I think the sentiment stamped at an angle adds a bit of fun.
And lastly, a card that uses a combination of lots of new products. The label is from Heather's new Framed Out #4 set, the flower is of course from the new Happy Hydrangea, and the "happy" diecut sentiment is from the Pretty Peonies die collection.
The "happy birthday" that I stamped over top of the diecut is from the new Fillable Frames Sentiments set. I added a vibrant border along the bottom using the new Chevron Stripe Border die.
Well, that wraps up another fun release! I had so much fun creating projects with these new goodies and I hope you had fun following along. Happy shopping to you all tonight!
