January Release In Review: Part 2

Good morning, friends, and welcome back! Today the Papertrey Ink team is sharing a few more projects using the new products from our January release. There were so many wonderful things to create with this month that they couldn't all fit into one post! Let's get on to the projects!

My first card today pairs Nichole's Gathered Garden set with Betsy's Inspired: God set.

I used a variety of stems and flowers to create the bed of blooms around the central frame shape. I adhered that panel to a Spring Rain card base and rounded the bottom corners. I die cut the frame, stamped it with the sentiment from Betsy's set, and then adhered it to the card front with foam tape.

Then I sponged Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, and Summer Sunrise inks onto a scrap of white cardstock before die cutting it with the Inspired: God Die. I stacked that die cut shape with two others for a bit of depth and then adhered it to the frame. Clean and simple, just the way I like them.

Next, I have a card pairing Nichole's Medallion Trio and Banner Style sets.

I began by stamping the largest medallion onto a Noted A1 panel using Stormy Sea ink. I filled it in with the smaller images in the set using Mint Julep, Vintage Jadeite, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Lilac Grace, and Winter Wisteria. I used the darker of each pair of colors to sponge a bit of depth onto each section.

Then I stamped the Banner Style sentiment onto the panel and matted it with a piece of True Black cardstock. I mounted that to a Mint Julep card base that I'd stamped with polka dots using the matching ink. I finished it off with a rhinestone that I'd colored black to coordinate.

Up next is a card also featuring Banner Style, but this time with the new Grand Botanicals die collection.

I used sponging to create depth on each of the flowers and leaves. I added speckles from the Gathered Garden set to the center of the largest flower and embellished the bigger dots with glitter. I also embellished the other two flower centers with a bit of glitter to add a touch of sparkle.

Next, I stamped a plaid pattern on to a panel of Aqua Mist cardstock using Fresh Snow and Aqua Mist inks. Then, I heat embossed the Banner Style sentiment onto the plaid panel using white powder and then adhered it to a white card base. I added the leaves and flowers to the front of the card using a mix of flat and foam adhesives. Isn't it cheerful?!

And last but not least, I have a card pairing Nichole's Keep It Simple: Retirement set with the Floribunda Frame die and Dawn's Family Ties set.

I began by die cutting the Floribunda frame from swiss dot vellum (from the Sheer Basics paper pack). I sponged the frame with Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, and Summer Sunrise inks and then used a Copic marker to color the leaves.

Then, I die cut a Spring Moss panel with the smallest Tipped Tops shape and stamped it first with the sentiment in Prairie Grass and then heat embossed over it with white powder. The effect looks like a shadow. I adhered the vellum floral frame to the back of that panel and then attached both to a Sweet Blush card base that I'd layered with a piece of Ombre Stripes patterned paper.

That's all for me today! Thank you for joining me. Make sure to pop in on Nichole, Amy, Ashley, Betsy, Dawn, Heather, Kay, Laurie S., Laurie W., and Melissa to see more of their projects. Have a great day and I'll see you again soon!
