Introducing Blue Skies (Plus More Beautiful Butterflies Layers & Swoosh)

Hello and welcome to day 8 of the Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities! 

Today I'm excited to share with you samples using the new Blue Skies collection by Betsy Veldman!  Blue Skies in not only an amazing stamp set, but a few other fun products were created to coordinate with it perfectly!...

• Blue Skies stamp set & dies
• Cover Plate: Blue Skies die
• Cover Plate: Blue Skies Rays die

Find more info on these products on the Papertrey Ink blog.

Let me get right to it...

First up, a little something for those times when we forget.  The "birthday" is from the new Swoosh stamps set.  Everything else is from Blue Skies!

The air plane was rolled into both blueberry sky and enchanted evening inks. The planes contrail was created using the "birthday" sentiment from Swoosh, I simply tweaked the ends as I applied it onto my acrylic block.  Finished the card off with a strip of Luxe Gold cardstock and enamel dots.

This bright little number utilized the extra long triangle image.  Instead of creating sun rays with it, I stamped a cool rainbow!

The clouds were cut using the Blue Skies dies, from the new pattern vellum pack.  A little trick... the dimensional adhesive was hidden behind the white cardstock pieces. 

This one's sure to brighten any gloomy day.  I used the new Cover Plate: Blue Skies and Cover Plate: Blue Skies Rays dies.

The Luxe Gold cardstock really shines as it peeks out from the die cut polka dot vellum.  Birds and sentiment from Blue Skies stamp set.

I used the extra long triangle die, included in the Blue Skies die set, to die cut strips from Luxe gold cardstock and the Watercolor Wonder paper pad.

Topped them off with a "thanks" from the Swoosh stamp set and some cream baker's twine. 

Finishing things off today with a card centered around one of the new Luxe Foil Gold papers.

I carefully masked off a portion of the circle to allow me to stamp a butterfly within the gilded circle.  The butterfly was created using images from both Beautiful Butterflies and Beautiful Butterflies Layers.  I touched up the butterfly wings with a bit of Wink of Stella clear and then stretched a Swoosh sentiment across the front. Check out that shimmer!  I'm loving all the shimmer I've had to share with you today!

Well, that concludes my look at the Blue Skies stamp set & dies, Cover Plate: Blue Skies die and Cover Plate: Blue Skies Rays die.  And of course a few samples of my new lineup for the month... Swoosh, Beautiful Butterflies Layers and Watercolor Wonder paper pad. Just remember... the products you've seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning February 15th.

I'd love to know what you think of today's creations.  I enjoyed Blue Skies so much! Even more than I initially thought I would.

Anyways, you won't want to miss any of today festivities.  So be sure to visit the Papertrey Ink blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
