Round Repeats + Live Love Life & Bigger Blooms Day Five

Welcome to the final day of the Papertrey Ink June countdown and the second design team group post day. Today's group post is all about the fun new building set Round Repeats. What a neat concept for a stamp set! I've had a ton of fun playing with and exploring the possibilities of this set. Oh! And all the color combos you could play with! Check it out for yourself...

Please note: All of the new products you're getting peeks at this week will be available for purchase at Papertrey Ink beginning on June 15.

First up, Round Repeats in a color combo of enchanted evening, limeade ice, sweet blush and Hero Arts tide pool.

I finished the card of with a rhinestone and a sentiment from Bigger Blooms.

And now, how about an unconventional use for the pieces in Round Repeats? Stamped vertically in a color combo of berry sorbet, summer sunrise and Hero Arts tide pool.

I finished the card off with a sentiment from Live Love Life and a tiny berry sorbet cardstock strip.

Now onto Live Love Life. I stamped a border along the bottom edge using a couple extra images included in the set. Using the same color combo from the card above.

A few black rhinestones and a fun sentiment to finish the card off.

Lastly, a bit more Bigger Blooms combined with Mini Blooms. Using the same color combo as the card from the top of this post, I stamped a pretty bouquet perfect for a wedding or birthday.

A few rhinestones and a couple sentiments from Bigger Blooms makes the perfect finishing touches.

Well, that's all I've got for you today. Just remember... Round Repeats, Live Love Life and Bigger Blooms will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning June 15th.

Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...

Vegetable Garden + Live Love Life & Bigger Blooms Day Four

Hello and welcome to the fourth day of the Papertrey Ink June countdown and the first Design Team group post. Today's group post is all about showcasing the new Vegetable Garden. I just love the detail captured by Nichole in this set! These special touches take a project up another notch with a single press of a stamp. Clean and simple is transformed when such detailed stamps are in hand. Check it out...

Please note: All of the new products you're getting peeks at this week will be available for purchase at Papertrey Ink beginning on June 15.

First up is Vegetable Garden paired with the seed packet frame from the Garden Variety II stamp set.

I stamped the frame, masked it off using a Post it Note and then stamped the artichoke inside. Finished the card off with an impressed cardstock strip (used the vineyard impression plate) and a button tied with ribbon.

Here's an almost one layer card (minus the sentiment box) featuring a fresh bunch of crisply stamped veggies.

Seriously, the detail on these images is so impressive! In no way is this simple card lacking any detail. I had fun planing and stamping this one!

Up next, a little Live Love Life. As I mentioned yesterday, this set gives you two options for the word "you", this time I opted for the chevron detailed letter to emphasize "you make my heart happy".

I originally stamped this panel perfectly horizontal, but after playing around with its arrangement on this kraft card base I figured it needed to be a little off. Especially since the stamping was so straight. So I went for it and cut the bottom and left edges at an angle. This way, once mounted the arrows were still lined up horizontal with the bottom edge. Gosh, that's a tough one to explain. I hope it makes sense. :)

Lastly, a look at Bigger Blooms. This time I tucked a small arrangement behind a raised cardstock panel. A little unexpected touch.

These leaves are from both Bigger Blooms and Mini Blooms. The sentiment is from Bigger Blooms.

Well, that concludes my look at Vegetable Garden, Live Love Life and Bigger Blooms. Just remember... these stamp sets will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning June 15th.
