Stitched Sentiments

Yep, the Papertrey Ink November release has now come to an end.  But a few of us design team members still have a couple more projects up our sleeves.  As previously mentioned, Dawn McVey, Danielle Flanders and I received a portion of our release products a little late in the game.  So we were unable to participate in last Tuesday's Stitched Sentiments group challenge. 
 
But we are back today to share...
First up, a simple yet lovely design that utilized the hoop image.  The hoop was die cut from kraft cardstock and stamped with the coordinating image in Versamark ink. 
The center circle was stamped with "may" and then impressed using the Adia impression plate.  I then weaved the sentiment banner under and over the hoop.  Finished the card off with a few buttons and hand trimmed leaves.
Next... another simple design, but with more of a modern look (which I think is a bit unexpected).  I couldn't be more please with the way this card duo turned out. 
I stamped the wreath and sentiment directly onto a white card base with gray ink.
Then popped up a few colorful greetings strips using dimensional adhesive.
 
Well, there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed!  Remember... everything you've seen today is now available at Papertrey Ink. Now, be sure to see what the other two lovely Ladies have in store for you today...
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Papertrey Ink November Release Projects

The Papertrey Ink November Countdown is about to come to an end and I'm here to share my final projects with you today. But, before I do, let me remind you that everything you've seen peeks of will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink beginning 10 pm EST tonight.
 
Now, let me get started!...
Comfort Food, by Lexi Daly.  Truly a heartwarming set.  I stamped four panels using images from this set.
For a bit more dimension, I popped a few of the die cut spoons using some dimensional adhesive.
Party Poppers, by Erin Lincoln.  Using the rectangular chevron popper images, I stamped a border strip in a number of fun colors.
Created a matching popper and filled it with confetti, glitter and a sentiment.
Framed Out #10 and Sentiment Signs, by Heather Nichols.  I stamped the frame in a trio of colors onto a white card base.
Stamped and trimmed up the sentiment sign and attached randomly using dimensional adhesive.  Finished the card off with a few black rhinestones.  This card... defininetly one of my faves from this months release.
Heart-2-Heart #10 and Background Basics: Inspiration, by Melissa Bickford.  Stamped a trio of butterflies in a pretty color combo and layered the background font in light gray ink.
Trimmed the panel into two pieces and attached to the card base with dimensional ahesive.  Finished it off with a couple sentiment banners and rhinestones.  Another card fave from this month.
Hanging By A Thread, by Nichole Heady.  I stamped a colorful border of vintage thread cards along the bottom edge of the card base.
Then, finished the card off with a Purls of Wisdom sentiment.

Well, that's all of them!
