Door to Door

Welcome to day four of the Papertrey Ink November Countdown. Today is also the first Papertrey Ink Design Team group post day! Our assignment for today is to showcase the new, fun and versatile Door to Door stamp set, which will be available beginning November 15th through Papertrey Ink. Nichole did an amazing job designing this set! I had fun playing with it and I've got a lot to share with you today, so let me get started...Staying true to my style, first up is a super simple number with just the right amount of details to really make it shine. I started with a Soft Stone card base (I seriously can't get enough of this color these days). I then heat embossed the door, steps and sentiment with white embossing powder and outlined the images with a light gray Copic marker, to help it all stand out.One of these days I'd love to have me a gray Kraftsman house with a yellow door. Taking some inspiration from my dream house I colored the door with a yellow Copic marker. And since it's finally starting to feel like fall around here, I gave this door/entrance an autumn feel by adding a few pumpkin groupings. I die cut them from white cardstock, stamped the images in gray and colored in shades of orange and green. Then popped them up with some dimensional adhesive.Next up, a wintry scene. I started with a Soft Stone card base (of course) and heat embossed the double doors and hardware with white embossing powder. Outlined in gray and colored the doors blue. After masking off the doors I stamped the snowflakes (from Winter Penguin, also available November 15th) in Smoky Shadow ink.Topped the doors off with an gray embossed overhang, touched it up with a gray marker and embellished with some glitter to give it a snowy look.Gave the card a snowy base by attaching a strip of white cardstock, layered a die cut and glittered snow drift and finished the card off with a sentiment.

For these next two cards I took a couple of the smaller accent images, included in the Door to Door set, and used them in unexpected ways... Using the tiny banner image, I stamped it end to end and extended it across the card front.This was super simple to do: Simply stamped the first banner onto a Rustic White cardstock strip. Masked it off and stamped again. A Post It Note works perfectly for this step! Just stamp, cut out and place. I repeated these steps until I achieved the desired length and then colored.Attached the banner cardstock strip to the base of my card, topped with some Holiday Flourishes & Swirls pattern paper (available beginning November 15th), wrapped with Fine Linen ribbon, stamped with a sentiment and embellished with rhinestones.Last, but not least, is this fun window card featuring the little spring flower bunch from Door to Door. I found that the previously released set, Home Made, pairs perfectly with Door to Door! I pulled out all the window from the Home Made set, stamped the focal window in Dark Chocolate and then stamped the other windows (in Vintage Touch Chai ink) randomly along the Rustic White card base.Stamped the Home Made curtains in Aqua Mist. The flower bunch was die cut, stamped in Dark Chocolate, colored and attached with dimensional adhesive. Then finished the card of with a Door to Door sentiment.

Well, that's it from me. Be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today. I know I can't wait to see!...
