Boho Hello

Hey there! I'm back today for the final day of the January Papertrey Ink countdown. Everything you've seen peeks of will be available tomorrow! 

And today I bring you one more sample of Boho Rounds, one of my new design for this month. I would have loved to have had more to share with you this release week, but life has been so crazy busy around here. 

 Here I've inked the half circle in gold ink and stamped it twice to make a complete round.

Check out that shine! I trimmed a small triangle corner from Luxe Gold cardstock and then finished the card off with a Smokey Shadow die cut "hello" from the Super Swoosh die collection. I stapled it all into place using a Tiny Attacher stapler.

Well, that finishes up this months release for me. Just remember... all that you've seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning January 15th. 

Now, be sure to visit the Papertrey Ink blog for more crafty goodness.

Introducing Boho Rounds

Hi there! Welcome to day three of the January Papertrey Ink countdown.

For this months release I am adding a couple new additions to my Stamping Simply lineup.  On the 10th I shared a bit of Splits: Hello There with you here. Today I have a peek at the second one... Boho Rounds. Take a look...

This is my modern interpretation of the bohemian vibe that’s making a strong comeback in the fashion and decor world.  Included is this large half circle that can be used as is, stamped along an edge, or stamped twice to form a whole circular image. It is so easy to use and allows you to keep things super simple or get more in depth with techniques and layering!

Here I've inked the half circle in Scarlet Jewel, Raspberry Fizz, and Sweet Blush. Then I sprayed it with a bit of water, using a tiny mister, right before stamping. So much fun can be had with this image as well as the others in this stamp set, you can also color and paint these images by hand!  Make your own pattern paper or gorgeous focal point... it truly is a versatile stamp set! Be sure to visit Nichole Heady (here) and Betsy Veldman (here) for more ideas using this set.

There are also coordinating die collection (Boho Rounds Sentiments) that I know you will love and use over and over again! But take note... these dies are are a larger version of the sentiment stamps, adding greater versatility to your stamp collection. Sadly I am still awaiting the arrival of mine.

Well, there's a quick look from me at the latest from my Stamping Simply lineup. Just remember... everything showcased today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning January 15th.

Introducing Splits: Hello There

Hi there! Welcome to day one of the January Papertrey Ink countdown.

For this months release I bring you a couple new additions to my Stamping Simply lineup.  Today I have a peek at one of them... Splits: Hello There. Take a look...

This is the last of the Splits collection.  Insert sad face. But I think I'm finishing of with quite a bang. The geometric look of this months set is great for both masculine and feminine projects which makes it extra versatile. There's another fun detail included in the stamp set, but I will get to that later in the release.  Hint... Or you could just head on over to Nichole Heady's blog for a look at the extras included in this stamp set. 

For today's cards I used the top and bottom parts of the frame to create a simple yet colorful pattern.

With this bold card front all that was needed to finish it off was a sentiment strip. Colors used here... Scarlet Jewel, Raspberry Fizz, Limeade Ice, and Soft Stone. 

Here's one for the boys. 

Colors used... Tropical Teal, Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice, and Soft Stone.

Well, I hope you all have enjoyed the entire year of this Splits series, I feel it was a great addition to my Stamping Simply lineup. It stretched my abilities, helped me grow as a designer, and I enjoyed every moment of watching this collection come to life over the last 12 months. Bonus for me, I LOVED seeing what you all created with these tiny stamp sets!

That's it from me today! Just remember... everything showcased today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning January 15th. Also, see more of the set (plus the other set of mine that's debuting this month Boho Rounds + Boho Rounds Sentiments dies) at Nichole Heady's blog.

Congratulations on Your New Baby Girl

Hey there! I'm back today for the final day of the December Papertrey Ink countdown. Everything you've seen peeks of will be available tomorrow! 

And of course I bring you one more sample of Swan'sational, one of my new design for this month.

This set is perfect for baby cards. I used twin facing swans, placed them next to one another, and then nestle a sweet little baby just below the pair. The parents were made using the swan die, and orange marker (for the beak) and the small black accent stamp.

If you need a card to celebrate a new baby girl, use a pink ribbon.  If it's for a newborn boy, use a blue ribbon. 

Well, that finishes up this months release for me. Just remember... all that you've seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning December 15th.

With Love Card Duo

Hi folks! Welcome to day four of the December Papertrey Ink countdown.

Today I've got another look at Splits: With Love for ya. 

I've thought a little out of the box when it came to putting these cards together. 

Here's the frame stamped in a not so frame way. Does that even make sense?! Anyways, I've used only a portion of the stamp along the edge of a white cardstock panel.  For reference, you can see the frame image in its original formation on this sample here. 

I inked the frame stamp in sweet blush, pure poppy, and raspberry fizz. Then carefully stamped only the blooms along the edge. Stamped the sentiment near the corner and finished the card off with a few clear rhinestones. 

Included in this stamp set are a few extra images. 

This one-layer card was stamped using the tiny triangle trio stamp, a simple image that can be stamped repeatedly to create a very unique pattern. Such as the one here, placed around the sentiment. 

That's it from me today! Just remember... the Splits: With Love stamp set and its coordinating dies will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning December 15th. 

Now, be sure to visit Papertrey Ink blog for more on today's featured product.

Swan Birthday Wishes

Hello and welcome to day three of the December Papertrey Ink countdown!   

I'm back today with another sample using the new Swan'sational. Here I've created a swan scene using only two images from this set. 

The grouping of swans were stamped in soft stone and then a row of cattails were stamped along the bottom edge in simply chartreuse. The sentiment was inked and stamped in scarlet jewel to complete this simple one-layer wonder card. 

Well, there's a quick look at Swan'sational. Just remember... Just remember... everything showcased today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning December 15th.

Introducing Splits: With Love

Hi there! Welcome to day two of the December Papertrey Ink countdown.

For this months release I bring you a couple new additions to my Stamping Simply lineup.  Today I have a peek at second one... Splits: With Love. Take a look...

These scribbled florals can be colored in and even accented with the included leaves. Tuck the "With Love" sentiment into the frame, mix and match with other Splits sets, or use a sentiment from another set for more options.

For this one-layer wonder I inked up this sweet frame in three colors... summer sunrise, scarlet jewel, and plum pudding. The leaves were added using the color simply chartreuse. A small silky bow is the perfect touch to give this simple card a little something extra, I easily formed the bow and attached it with a touch of adhesive. 

Well, there's a quick look from me at the latest from my Stamping Simply lineup. Just remember... everything showcased today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning December 15th.
