Introducing Beautiful Butterflies

So, have you been enjoying the Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities this week?!

I'm back this month with a new stamp set to start off the new Papertrey Ink year, I'm happy to introduce to you... Beautiful Butterflies. Beautiful Butterflies is a modern take on the classic butterfly silhouette. It features 5 different butterflies shapes, 4 of these shapes feature a small, medium and large coordinating option for a total of 13 butterflies. 7 thoughtful sentiments pack this stamp set to the brim, and the font combination... totally swoon-worthy! To top it all off... a set of 4 dies coordinate beautifully with the largest butterflies in the set. Beautiful Butterflies stamp set will be sold for $24, beginning February 15th at Papertrey Ink.

Next up, a couple samples!...It all began with this lovely color combo... Kraft, Fine Linen, Smokey Shadow and Aqua Mist. You can find my inspiration piece on Pinterest here. Using this new inspired color combo, I stamped the medium sized butterflies onto a die cut Wine Bottle Tag. Here's a tip: To lighten up the Smokey Shadow ink, I stamped first onto a scrap piece of cardstock then onto my project.
Stamped the sentiment and attached the tag to a kraft card base. Finished the card of with a wrapping of Smokey Shadow satin ribbon.Next up, the large butterflies. Keeping with the color combo from above, I stamped them in Fine Line, Kraft and Aqua Mist onto a Rustic White cardstock block. Stamped the sentiment, wrapped the panel with twine and attached to a kraft card base.Finished the card off with a Kraft colored button and ribbon tab.

That's it from me today, but I've still got a lot more to share! So, I hope you'll join me for the remainder of the countdown!

Now, be sure to visit Nichole Heady and Besty Veldman for peeks at Frilly Flowers and Think Big Favorites #13, Jessica Witty will bring you Global Greetings and Background Basics: Medallions. Also, Heather Nichols, Lisa Johnson, Melissa Bickford & Tiffany Pastor have peeks to share with you of their newest sets for the month.
