Introducing Petite Places (Plus More Beautiful Butterflies Layers & Swoosh)

Hello and welcome to day 6 of the Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities! 

Today is another group post day and our focus is on the new Petite Places: Church and Scene It collections by Betsy Veldman!  A unique and interactive tag is sure to make an impression.  And this new series is sure to be a highlight of every release.  Each piece is so versatile and I hope to show you what I'm talking about.  Find more info on these products on the Papertrey Ink blog.

Let's get right to it...
A dimensional dome tag is a great way to dress up a simply wrapped package. And Petite Places and Scene It collections make this possible.  This month the focus is on a church, great for weddings, baptisms, Easter and so much more. I've gone with an elegant wedding theme. 
Inside the dome you will find a few Scene It: Skyscapes die layers.  First, the clouds cut from white cardstock.  Second, golden sun rays.  This layer adds such stunning shimmer. Third, a few more die cut clouds (left over from the first layer).  The church front and sentiment top off the layers. Before attaching the dome lid, a bit of floral sequin confetti finished this tag off beautifully!
Speaking of versatility, these Scene It: Skyscapes dies are perfect for card fronts too. Creating a focal point is a breeze!
Using the same sun rays circle as above, I was able to quickly create a simple backdrop for a Beautiful Butterflies butterfly.  This butterfly was stamped with an additional coordinating layer from the Beautiful Butterflies Layers stamp set, in a color combo of berry sorbet and raspberry fizz.  And this gorgeous sentiment is from the Petite Places: Church stamp set.
I'll quickly move on to a card duo featuring my newest Stamping Simply sets... Beautiful Butterflies Layers and Swoosh.  Also, a bit of Watercolor Wonder paper pad too.  Both cards were creating using a single piece of pattern paper (measuring 5.5" by 4.24" from the paper pad), which was die cut into two pieces using the "hello" Swoosh die.

Here's How:  I die cut the "hello" die from the pattern paper at a slight angle. Then, when attaching the pieces to the card fronts, I made sure to line up the die cut edges along the stamped "hello".  The stamped "hello", being stamped nice and straight, causes the pattern paper to have to be attached at an angle. The edges will hang over the edge, but they are easily trimmed away.
This card features the bottom portion of the die cut pattern paper.
I finished the card off with a "from me to you" sentiment strip and a wrapping of cream twine. 
This one features the top portion of the die cut pattern paper.
The top was embellished with a "happy" sentiment strip and a coordinating wrapping of more cream twine.
The final touch is a layered butterfly, using images from both Beautiful Butterflies and Beautiful Butterflies Layers.  Plus a smokey shadow button.

Well, that concludes my look at the Petite Places and Scene It collectionsJust remember... the products you've seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning February 15th.
