Weather Trends

Hello and welcome to day 3 of the Papertrey Ink July countdown! 

Today is the first group post and it's all about everything weather!  I forsee a rise in temps today.  The weather theme is becoming very hot these days and it's taking over Papertrey Ink for the day.  Here are the new items I'm showcasing today...

• So Striking pattern paper, stamps and dies
• Rainy Day Sentiments stamps
• Sunshine die

Today's theme is one that can surprisingly cover many different occasions.  Check it out!...

First up, a rainy version.  This card design is perfect for either a birthday, graduation or congratulations. Using the Triangle Trio die I die cut triangles from both black cardstock and a sheet of So Striking pattern paper. Then mounted them onto a soft stone card base. 

The So Striking pattern paper was made to be layered upon, just like I did here with an extra cloud and lightning bolt.  Makes life a whole lot easier. With the stamp set and die combo "awesome" can either be stamped or die cut, I chose the latter. It gives the card a bit more of a pop when attached with dimensional adhesive. 

Here's my sunshine version. Perfect for cheering someone up. 

I stamped a few sun rays (from Hello Sunshine) directly onto one of the So Striking pattern paper sheets. Stamped a sentiment from the Rainy Day Sentiments stamp set, attached a die cut "Sunshine" and finished the card off with a strip of gold cardstock along the bottom edge. 

A shot of the inside for you, which was embellished with a few So Striking clouds and a Tucked In: Thinking of You sentiment. 

Well, that concludes today's look at the So Striking collection, Rainy Day Sentiments stamps, the Sunshine die, and Tucked In: Thinking of You. Just remember... all that you have seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning July 15th.  More details on these products can be found at the Papertrey Ink blog.
