Snowflake Flurries Day Two, Think Big Favorites #21 and Bells & Boughs Bloomers

Hey there! Thanks for joining me for day two of the Papertrey Ink October countdown. I'm back today to bring you more of my new set... Snowflake Flurries and from the looks of it, it sounds as if some of you are as excited about this set as I am.

 

Also, this month, I'm excited to bring you a couple additional items... Think Big Favorites #21 (a stamp set of super-sized sentiments from Bells & Boughs) and Bells & Boughs Bloomers dies (a set of dies that coordinate perfectly with the blooms from Bells & Boughs).  More on these two items in a bit.

 

First, let me get started with a Snowflake Flurries sample...

I wanted to focus on additional uses for the medallion images included in this set, by creating a colorful birthday card.

I stamped the snowflake medallions in a color combo of Hero Arts Orange Soda, Tide Pool and Raspberry Jam inks, onto a cardstock block.  Then cut the panel in two and attached to a card base using dimensional adhesive.  The sentiment was stamped before hand.  Finished the card off with a few fun enamel dots.



Up next, I've pulled out my Bells & Boughs stamp set and paired it with the other two new items I mentioned above.

I stamped the boughs and super sized sentiment onto the card base. Then quickly die cut and stamped the blossoms and attached them with dimensional adhesive.  Finished the card off with a few rhinestones.

It sure would have been nice to have these handy new dies when creating these cards last year...

Beautiful Beads

Hi, there!  The Papertrey Ink design team and I are here today to showcase the Beautiful Beads die & paper pads. Check out Nichole's video (here) all about the Beautiful Beads product line.

 

Here's what I've come up with...

The special die that cuts the slender triangles, used to make paper beads, are super fun to work with.  Here's a card I assembled using a few of them.

I chose to work with the pink and orange mix paper pad.  I randomly placed the triangles into the bottom corner of the card front and trimmed off the excess.  Topped it with a sentiment strip, from the Simple Sentiments stamp set, which I attached using dimensional adhesive.

Up next, a coordinating necklace using the hand rolled beads I made.  My mother is a very talented wire jewelry artist and she has passed onto me a little bit of that love and technique.  So, what I've made for today requires basic skills and knowledge of wiring jewelry and the right tools, findings and supplies.  The Internet is a great resource for such things.  :)

The beads were made using both the pink and orange polka dot papers and I sealed them up with some clear nail polish, for a bit of shine.  Wired them up with gold wire, jump rings and chain into a chevron pattern.

Turned out exactly as planned!
