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.

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.

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.

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

Today, I've put a holiday twist on this months Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set. I've combined it with last months Quick Notes: Holiday stamp set and die.

Splits: Happy Birthday Day 2

Hello and welcome to day two of the November Papertrey Ink countdown!   

Today I'm please to share with you another sample using this months Splits: Happy Birthday stamp set. This time around I'm letting one of the extra images from this stamp set take center stage. 

This little triangular striped stamp is so much fun to work with!  It has so much potential!  Here I've chosen to freehand a hand stamped background pattern using black ink allover and gold ink for a few accent pieces.  This pattern really shines beautifully in real life and unfortunately I can't capture all of that with a camera.

Hellos and Wedding Wishes

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

And of course I bring you a couple more sample of my new designs for this month.

Here I've put to used an extra die cut Splits: Giving Thanks frame that I had laying around.

It was stamped in smokey shadow and then I used my color pencils to add a bit of color to the details of the frame. I stamped the "hello" (from the Tropics stamp set) in a contrasting color (Scarlet Jewel) and then mounted it onto the card base at an angle. 

This one-layer number focuses on one of the sentiments from the Fancy Foliage stamp set.  

The sentiment has built in floral embellishments already placed on either side. So this card front was stamped only once (super easy!) and then touched up with color pencils.  

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 August 15th.

Today I'd like to share a couple more Tropics samples with you. Also, this collection is featured on the Papertrey ink blog today as well. So stop by and check it out for all the details.

Tropics is a unique collection of tropical palms and tribal designs. It can be adapted for summertime projects, masculine creations, backgrounds, focal points, borders and so much more.  My first card focuses on one of the palms, which I've used to create a hand stamped repeating pattern in the New Leaf color.

Available in the Tropics collection is a set of dies that coordinates with the sentiment included in the set.  Here I've mounted a "hello" on two banners, which help to ground the phrase. 

A tribal design square is also included in the stamp set, I've used it here to create rows of color to frame the sentiment. Color combo... New Leaf, Ocean Tides, and Enchanted Evening. 

It's super easy to work with! I just rotated it as I stamped each row, giving this pattern a bit of interest.
