Introducing Hashtag Everything & Shape Shifters: Circle 2

Good morning, friends, and welcome to today's Papertrey Ink May countdown post! I'm back today sharing a project I created with Betsy's new Shape Shifter: Circle 2 die as well as Lexi's Hashtag Everything stamp set. Let's get to it!

I wanted to create a card for a tween that felt techy, but not overly so. I wanted just a hint of tech, this is a handmade card after all. I was inspired by the color scheme of the Instagram logo and was off and running.

I started by using the center detail die from this month's Shape Shifters as a stencil. I simply cut it from copy paper and pounced my color through the negatives using blending sponges. I used Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Hibiscus Burst, and Amethyst Allure inks to get my gradient.

Then, I used the border die to add a die cut detail around the stenciled circle. I decided my front panel would really pop against a colorful card base, so I attached it to a Hibiscus Burst base, tying in the color wheel from the front.

Next, I simply heat embossed the sentiments from Hashtag Everything onto vellum using white detail powder. I die cut the greetings, cutting a couple of them a second time to make them a little bit shorter. Then, I used slivers of foam tape underneath the embossing to adhere the text bubbles into place. Super clean and simple with a bright and colorful palette. Just right for the teens and tweens in your life.

I hope you've enjoyed today's post! Make sure to pop by tomorrow to see even more inspiration for this month's release.
