Papertrey Ink June Release - Day Five!

 bold borders: Wave 

+ sentiment staples: sending you

+CORNER ADORNER: JUNE 

Hello and welcome to more of Papertrey Ink’s June release celebration! We hope that you are enjoying all of the sneak peeks and projects that have been shown and are feeling truly inspired to create..... and then share what you love!

Today we have more new stamps and dies to share with you, including Lizzie Jones' beautiful Corner Adorner: June and the lovely Sentiment Staples: Sending You. PLUS another fabulous addition to the Bold Borders series - the Bold Borders: Wave cover plate die/sentiment, which fit in beautifully with many of this month's seascape themed stamps and dies.

All of the new release items will be available through Papertrey Ink tomorrow, JUNE 15th, at 10 pm ET.

I've combined lots of new June PTI goodies..... die cut blooms from How Are You Today, the fabulous 'Love' die, just one of the versatile, new Sentiment Staples: Sending You stamps and the wonderfully detailed Bold Borders: Wave cover plate die.

A bit of Aqua Mist (and a few more bitty polka dots!) helps to create the perfect backdrop for the large Love die and a trio of petite posies in shades of yellow.

My second project, using the lovely Corner Adorner: June, incorporates just the tiny berry cluster in creating an adorable patterned background. Don't those little blackberries just look delicious?

This Classic Kraft/Royal Velvet/Pinefeather/Fresh Snow combination is perfect with a delicate sentiment from the new How Are You Today? stamp set, the petite Scalloped Tag die and a bit of Rustic Jute twine.

Thanks so much for stopping by and helping to celebrate more of the June countdown! Be sure to check in on Betsy, Dawn, Heather, Kelly, Laurie, Lizzie, Melissa P and Stephanie over at the Papertrey Ink BLOG to see their fabulous creations using these great new June Papertrey products. 

Have a wonderful day!!

Papertrey Ink June Release - Day Four!

botanical bounty 2

+with all my heart + love die

There's LOTS more inspiration on view today as we present Jennifer Campbell's a-mazing and fabulous Botanical Bounty II stamps and dies. And... to coordinate oh so beautifully,  Kimberly Crawford's With All My Heart and the lovely Love die.

All of the new stamp sets and products will be available to purchase on JUNE 15th, 10PM ET, at Papertrey Ink.

First up is the fabulous Botanical Bounty II, which has hours and hours of floral arranging possibilities..... just beautiful and amazing in every way, no matter the hue, layering or placement of each lovely bloom and bit of greenery! 

The clean and simple oval embossed design from the new Shape Shifters: Oval 2 serves as a subtle background for this warm bouquet, with a single 'hello'  sentiment from Penned Elegance.

For this second design, I've allowed the beautifully lettered 'Love' sentiment/die take center stage - as it should. Large and lovely in every way, this beauty will cover most of an A2 card front with fantastic style! 

Lots of polka dots and stripes in the newest Bitty Big hue combine nicely the Love die,  a trio of Berry Sorbet butterflies from the previously released Bunny Blessing and the perfect sentiment from the new With All My Heart!

Thanks so much for stopping by and helping to celebrate the JUNE countdown! Be sure to hop on over to the Papertrey Ink Blog to check in on Amy, Betsy, Dawn, Heather, Kelly, Laurie, Lizzie, Melissa P, Melissa B, Stephanie AND Kimberly to see a plethora of fabulous creations using these great new June Papertrey products.

Papertrey Ink June Release - Day Three!

words to Live By: laugh 

+ how are you today?

Yay -  it's Day 3 of Papertrey Ink's June 2018 release and there is much more to share with you!
The introductions begin with Betsy Veldman's newest Words to Live By: Laugh stamp and die collection. In addition, Rebecca Luminarias presents her latest designs with How Are You Today..... beautiful little blooms, fluttering butterflies and perfectly delicate sentiments ..... all with coordinating dies. 
All of the new stamp sets and products that I am sharing today will be available to purchase on June 15th, 10PM ET, at Papertrey Ink.

Lots of bright colors, with happy blooms and a sentiment in Raspberry Fizz and some lovely stripes (in another of the newest Bitty Big colors coming your way soon!) help to create this LOL card.

The oh-so-versatile Keep It Simple Frame die creates the perfect base for this great sentiment and 'laugh' die! I've added a few black accents....with a snippet of twine and some glossy black Nuvo drops as my flower centers. And the little Tropical Teal leaves are popped up with a bit of dimensional tape, as is the sentiment tag, for a little added interest.

Papertrey Ink June Release - Day Two!

INTRODUCING text & texture: ocean 

+Reef builder dies + shape shifters: Oval 2

Welcome to Papertrey Ink's June 2018 Release - Day 2! There are LOTS more amazing new Papertrey goodies to sneak peek..... including more of Betsy Veldman's fabulous underwater world in the scene building Reef Building die, the amazing Text & Texture: Ocean and the latest Shape Shifter: Oval 2.

These new additions are perfect compliments to the Salt Air collection, which debuted yesterday. So... if  you are an underwater/sea life fan, you will be quite excited about all of the new additions to the Papertrey lineup!

All of the new stamp sets and products will be available to purchase on JUNE 15th, 10PM ET, at Papertrey Ink.

Soft Stone creates a subtle background, allowing the amazingly detailed Reef Builder dies to take center stage! Pretty shades of Spring Rain, Ocean Tides, Soft Stone and White are layered and a clean Keep It Simple: Birthday II sentiment was stamped in Ocean Tides.

The Shape Shifters: Oval 2 die is pretty amazing too! Here I've used just the inner/center portion of the oval. All of those pretty pieces are stamped with the Text & Texture: Ocean stamps in Spring Rain/Soft Stone, with dimensional tape added (thank you Press N' Seal!) and serving as my 'base' for all of the beautiful sea flora.

So very glad that you stopped by! There's SO much more to see from the Papertrey crew..... so be sure to hop on over to the Papertrey Ink Blog for more inspiration using these fabulous new June products.  Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow!

Papertrey Ink - Make it Monday #324

VIDEO // Make It Monday #324

Happy Monday! There's a new video up today on the Papertrey Ink YouTube Channel, which is all about creating dotted dimension on your PTI/crafty projects. Please take a peek, craft a project of your own and link up to the MIM #324 gallery for a chance to win a $25 Papertrey Ink gift certificate!
This 'Lots o' Dots' idea came about after spending a lovely afternoon, chatting, crafting and noshing, with my local creatives, Karen and Kelly! 

There are SO many more PTI stamp sets that would work well with this Nuvo gloss dots gone crazy idea: Sweet Treats (cone top 'jimmies'), Baby Mine (dotted elephant ears and/or raindrops), Forest Floor: Summer (strawberry), Warm Regards (flower centers) and many of the background/Cover Up dies!

Many thanks for taking a peek.... have a wonderful rest of your week!
