Hello and welcome to day 9 of the Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities! 

Today is another group post day and our focus is on the new Make It Market Mini Kits: Lovely Laurels by Betsy Veldman!  I just love this new mini kit!  Such a fun mix of goodies that I'm sure you'll fall head over heels for, just like I have!  Let me get right to today projects...

One of the coolest items in this months kit is the laurel die. I used it along with a sheet of my favorite piece of pattern paper from the kit.  

I love how, after trimming away the edge under the laurel, the pattern paper peeks out from the edge as well as under the die cut laurel.  The Luxe Gold bow is pretty perfect too!

Here's a bit more of a softer look.  This time the laurel was stamped, without the use of the die, just over the edge.

I just love these darling flower sequins.  They are like little cups, ready to be filled with glitter!  I used a bit of glossy accents to... First, attach the flowers to the card.  Second, fill another dot of glue inside and cover with glitter.  So lovely!

I couldn't leave today without a couple samples using my new Stamping Simply product for the month.  I grabbed a sheet from the Watercolor Wonder paper pad to create a more masculine birthday card. 

Trimmed it into two pieces to fit a sentiment inside.  Embellished with a stamped gold anchor circle and gold dots, both are from the Bountiful Banner stamp set.  Super simple!

This one on the other hand... not so simple but, oh so beautiful!

It all began with this hand stamped pattern.  Images are from the Beautiful Butterflies (solid butterflies), Beautiful Butterflies Layers (butterflies details) and Swoosh (tiny heart) stamp sets.  Here's How:  I began stamping this random pattern from the bottom right corner and moved my way all the way up.  Once all butterflies covered the cardstock I filled in all space with the tiny heart. 

The vellum was attached with a bit of adhesive, hidden behind the frame.

The striped vellum allows the pattern to show through, but it also softens up the bold color combo of limeade ice, winter wisteria and Hawaiian shores.

Finished off the inside with a fitting sentiment from the Tucked In: Mother stamp set

Well, that concludes my look at the new Make It Market Mini Kits. Just remember... the products you've seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning February 15th.
