Hello all! Today is the last day of the Papertrey Ink Countdown as well as the second Group Post day. This time around each of us, on the design team, are showcasing the set Holiday Photo Finishers, designed by Nichole Heady. Our assignment is to create two projects, one photo card and one non-photo card. Check out what I came up with...
To keep things simple I started by using one of the new tri-fold cards. I embossed the front flap with one of the Photo Finish Strip Dies and stamped a coordinating sentiment in True Black.
Then stamped a large and small Bells & Boughs poinsettia flower in Spring Moss.
Now, onto the inside... I raised the front flap and stamped a few corner flourishes in Ripe Avocado and Spring Moss.
Placed a black and white photo into the center of the tri-fold card. To add a pop of color I stamped the flourishes, in Ripe Avocado, onto the photo and the card flaps.
To finished the card off I stamped a "Joy" label in True Black and a poinsettia in Spring Moss onto white cardstock, cut out and attached to the photo with dimensional adhesive.
Next up, the non-photo card... I started with a Rustic Cream cardstock block, stamped flourishes into the corners using Ripe Avocado and Spring Moss inks, stamped with a sentiment and attached to a Ripe Avocado card base.
Finished the card off with a few black rhinestones. It's a super simple, yet elegant design, that can easily be mass produced.
Well, that's it from me today. Be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...

ReplyDeleteThese cards are just gorgeous! You make simple look so good.
ReplyDeleteNice photo card. I like the effect of embossing with the die, then stamping over it. The non-red poinsettias look smart, as well. Your card is lovely. I like the new sentiment stamp in black with the avocado flourishes and base. TFS Looking forward to the release tonight. :)
