Spider Web Die Trio Day Three

Hi there! Just popping in quickly today, for day three of the Papertrey Ink countdown, to share a couple more samples using the latest addition to my Stamping Simply lineup... Spider Web Die Trio. 

Today's projects focus on home decor ideas perfect for Halloween.  Let me get right to it!... 



First up a few banner flags.  Here's A Tip: I love to opt out of stringing my banners together, because it give me the freedom to place each flag in any arrangement I choose.  I simply adhere each piece to the wall with a piece of tape on the backside.

Each piece was constructed with a banner topper in either Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest or Royal Velvet pattern papers; which were die cut using the Banner Borders Die.  With a web and button layered on top and Modern Alphabet die cut letters attached with dimensional adhesive.

Then arranged on the wall in the desired position.  Not the best photo, but you get the idea.

Next, a little Halloween table scape...  The two smaller sized webs look great when die cut from cardstock or pattern paper and then randomly sprinkled along the table top.  Sorta like confetti.

A festive napkin ring can quickly be put together by simply die cutting the large web from felt, wrapping with ribbon and then finishing it off with a bow.

Well, that's all I've got for you today. Just remember... this die trio is available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning August 15th. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please feel free to share!

Now, be sure to visit Nichole Heady, Melissa Phillips & Danielle Flanders for peeks at Autumn Hills, BB: Herringbone, Think Big #19 & Shape-Up Series: Pumpkin die. Also, Dawn McVey & Melissa Bickford have peeks to share with you of their newest sets for the month.

Spider Web Die Trio Day Two

Hey there! Thanks for joining me for day two of the Papertrey Ink August Countdown. I'm back today to bring you more of my new die collection... Spider Web Trio.  Here's what I've got for you today...

Today's card features the largest die cut web, which I die cut from Smokey Shadow pattern paper.  I attached it to a white card base and then trimmed the edges.

Instead of the typical spider, I switched things up a bit and created a bat (using the Halloween Treats & Sweets stamp sets and  Halloween Treats & Sweets die collection) to embellish the center of the web.  I heat embossed the wings using clear embossing powder and attached black brads for the eyes.  Then finished the card off with a sentiment.

Well, that concluded my second look at the Spider Web Die Trio. Just remember... this collection is available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning August 15th. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please feel free to share!

Introducing Spider Web Die Trio Day One

It that time again... the August Papertrey Ink release has begun!  And I'm happy to introduce to you my latest die design... Spider Web Trio. This trio contains detailed spider web dies that can be cut out of all sorts of interesting materials. All are sized to work well on your cards and paper projects.  As a bonus... the largest die in the collection is big enough for all sorts of unique and festive home decor projects (like felt coasters for the coffee table, vinyl clings for the windows, banners, etc.), gift wrapping and more. They can even be paired up with the spider from Spooky Sweets II, Tiny Treats: Halloween or other spiders throughout the Papertrey collection.
How about a sample?!...

I began by covering the front of a card base with Smokey Shadow tiny polka dot patter paper.

I die cut two medium webs and one small web from white cardstock, attached them to a Soft Stone cardstock block and trimmed off the excess.  For a bit more dimension, I attached the webs with adhesive placed at the very center and let the edges bend up a bit.

Finished the card off with a spidery sentiment strip, both from the Been Boo'd stamp set.

That's it from me today, but I've still got a lot more to share! So, I hope you'll join me for the remainder of the countdown!

Now, be sure to visit Nichole Heady and Besty Veldman for peeks at Heart-2-Heart #7, Counting My Blessings stamps & dies, Ashley Cannon Newell for Sunflower Bouquet. Also, Dawn McVey & Melissa Bickford have peeks to share with you of their newest sets for the month.

Leaf Prints Revisited

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me today, for the August Papertrey Ink Senior DT challenge. This time around we are bringing back Leaf Prints! 

I find it hard to believe that it's August already, it sure is a strong reminder that summer is coming to an end soon. The time spent playing with this months challenge stamp set has been a pleasant experience.  It's brought back memories of fine fall temperatures and beautiful autumn colors.  Overall, it's been a reminder of the reasons why I love fall.  Although, for today's project, I wasn't quite ready to work with a full fledged fall theme and decided to work with an unexpected color scheme.  Take a look...

Using a color combo of Enchanted Evening, Melon Berry and Soft Stone I created a coordinating card and tag combo.

First, the card...  I began by die cutting a Wine Bottle Tag from Rustic White cardstock and stamping it with a few leaf images.  Then, die cut a Rustic White small banner and stamped it with a sentiment from Simple Sentiments.  Attached the sentiment to the tag using dimensional adhesive.

The card base was also cut from Rusic White cardstock.  I trimmed a couple Enchanted Evening cardstock strips and attached them to the top of the card base.  Then, with dimensional adhesive, I attached the stamped tag.

To coordinate with the card, I stamped the tag with leaves in the same color combo.  The tag was die cut from Rustic White cardstock using the Tag Sale #5 die.

I die cut an additional tag from Enchanted Evening, trimmed and attached the bottom edge to the stamped leaf tag.  Then, finished the tag off with a Gracious Vases sentiment and Soft Stone ribbon.
 
Well, that's it from me today. Now be sure to visit the other Papertrey Ink Senior Design Team girls for more Leaf Prints goodness...
