Spring has sprung and Papertrey Ink is celebrating with a final day of projects using the new March release products! Hopefully, everyone has enjoyed the new and innovative way that Papertrey has approached their March 2017 monthly release ...... with fantastic
extra project
photos, sneak peek videos, supply lists/ simple instructions for many of the lovely projects, and additional post-release inspiration from the 16th through the 20th of the month! It has certainly put
me in the mood for a little frenzied crafting (and perhaps more than a bit of pinning and CASE-ing too!).
Anyway...... I am jumping in with a plethora of photos, highlighting many of the fabulous stamps and dies from the March 2017 release!
More March Release - Day 1:
Courage & Kindness/Courage & Kindness Die,
Year Of Psalms: February
Courage & Kindness includes a beautiful bouquet
and additional blooms and leaves, which create an amazing floral arrangement in any color! Just take a peek at the tester blooms in Berry Sorbet and Hibiscus Burst all ready for my next flower-filled card! Oh, ....... and you musn't forget the inspirational and thoughtful sentiments that are included with Courage & Kindness! So lovely.
The Year of Psalms: February is perfect for celebrating the coming of Spring. I've used beautiful, soft watercolored blues and greens for this card, which is enhanced by the lovely Mix & Mat: Flourishes die (love, love this three part frame die... together or separately).
More March Release - Day 2:
Inflate + Celebrate,
Shadowed Sentiments
Inflate & Celebrate is a great mini set, which includes a variety of words and phrases in fantastic fonts! This creates a fabulous invitation OR celebration card..... masculine or feminine. Combined with the All Tied Up die, a bright orange balloon and a bit of rustic twine I'm all ready to celebrate any special occasion!
The Shadowed Sentiments stamp set is bold and beautiful in shades of green! Combined with the oh-so-versatile Multiply dies, black accents, a bit of twine, and the three-step sentiment, this card is appropriate for any celebration. I had way too much fun trying both the 'Hello' and 'It's Your Day' stamps in varying color combinations!
More March Release - Day 3:
So Sweet,
Carrot Box Die
So Sweet is THE cutest set...... just look at that adorable little bunny face and the variety of wonderful sentiments! This sweet springtime set had me reaching for the beautiful Pale Peony + White Basics patterned papers (in my very favorite polka dots!), Kraft card stock, and soft pinks and browns. Lots and lots of ideas for tags, Easter basket treats and baby cards are dancing in my head!
And...... this
Carrot Box die coordinates not only with the So Sweet bunny stamps and dies, but with the Butterly Hope die too. So, so lovely with a Carrot box tag and some spring-y aquas! And those color-coordinated peanut M&M's? Yup, long gone!
More March Release - Day 4:
Beautiful Berries:Spring
Betsy has designed another amazing stamp and die set in
Beautiful Berries: Spring. There are so many possibilities with these lovely berry clusters and the perfect-for-any-occasion sentiment. And the easy to stamp, multi-step berries/greenery create THE most beautiful stamped backgrounds. Ahhh... love at first sight!
More March Release - Day 5:
Butterfly Hope/Butterfly Hope Cover Plate,
MIM:Bloom & Grow,
Flower Mandalas
I had SO much fun creating with Heather's
Butterly Hope and the coordinating Butterfly Hope Cover Plate. Butterfly Hope has images that can be stamped in countless ways, and in endless colors. Soft and ethereal OR bold and bright, these lovely butterflies can do it all!
AND..... then there's the a-mazing
MIM: Bloom & Grow! There are stamps, stencils, dies and the most amazing Bloom & Grow patterned papers. Swoon! Beautiful spring colors and that lovely linen texture. I could play with this set all day and still not exhaust all of the creative possibilities!
And, as my finale......
Flower Mandalas 1, designed by the always a-mazing Kay Miller! Such a great concept (and so anxious to see what everyone else creates with these innovative dies!). Obviously, there was quite a lot of experimenting going on here, with an abundance of color and a bevy of beautiful die cut Flower Mandalas.
Well, that's all for now! Hopefully, your March 2017 Papertrey Ink stamps and dies are on their way to you OR in your creative hands at this very moment! Ahhhh..... the joy of new stamps, dies, papers, stencils, ribbon, etc.!
