Good morning! Welcome back! Today, I get to help introduce you to a variety of new products including the new What the Doodle stamps and dies by Betsy Veldman, Be stamps and dies by Heather Nichols, Keep It Simple: Easter and Keep It Simple: St. Patrick's Day stamps by Nichole Heady and two new Cover Plate dies by Erin Lincoln -- Pretty Frame and Scrolled Frame.
All of the new products you're getting peeks at this week will be available for purchase at Papertrey Ink beginning on February 15 at 10pm EST.
So you know those doodle butterflies were just begging to be colored with my Zig markers. How could I resist? :) I stamped the two sizes of butterfly on watercolor paper with versamark ink and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then, I used my Zig markers and a water brush to color them in. Once that panel was dry, I layered it on a kraft card base and then added a black sentiment strip that was heat embossed with a sentiment from Keep It Simple: Birthday II.
Next up, I wanted to make a card for St. Patrick's Day so I pulled out the previously released Monthly Moments: March stamp set, and used the tiny little clover image to create a fun clover background by stamping the clover in pairs and alternating colors!
I added a sentiment from the new Keep It Simple: St. Patrick's Day and then used the new What the Doodle: Butterfly dies to create that fun butterfly. The back layer is a solid butterfly cut from white card stock. The front layer is obviously much more detailed but was also cut it from white card stock and then I sponged on a couple of colors of ink to coordinate with my background pattern.
For this card, I sponged some ink on a white card base and then stamped a sentiment from the new Keep It Simple: Easter, with tropical teal ink. Then, I added this gorgeous new Cover Plate: Scrolled Frame die cut, which was cut from hawaiian shores card stock. This die technically cuts out three pieces -- a thin oval trim in the center (which I left off), the oval portion with lines around it, and the scrolled outer rectangle. You could use all the pieces in the same color, in different colors, or you could even just use the outer scrolled rectangle all by itself!
For all of those little flowers, I pulled out the new Be stamp set and die cut and stamped lots of little flowers and leaves and arranged them on the frame and tucked into the frame as well. Be features a collection of sentiments that can be built around the first word "Be", as well as lots of little flowers and leaves.
This one also features the new Be stamp set. Here, I not only used the flowers and leaves, but a couple of the sentiment pieces I mentioned as well. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of watercolor paper that was smooshed with watercolor (after it was completely dry!).
And here is the new Cover Plate: Pretty Frame die, by Erin. I cut this one in two different colors -- new leaf and hawaiian shores. You can also cut this one from a third color and pop it where that thin new leaf border is, inside the frame. And of course, if you just wanted to use that scalloped rectangle all by itself, you could! So many uses from just one die!
All right friends, I'm off for now but you'll want to be sure to visit Nichole Heady for lots more peeks and to see which of the other designers have posts to share today!
Have a great day!
