PTI August Release Day 1

Hello crafty friends! It's time to announce this month's release at Papertrey Ink and it's another great one! Today, we are introducing you to Exquisite Leaf Frame Hot Foil Plate + Fresh Florals stamps and dies + Frightful Frames dies + Spooky Treat Labels stamps and dies.

I strayed from routine "fall" colors and made this sympathy card applicable for giving all year long.

I started with Lemon Tart paper and hot foiled a panel using matte white foil. I have much more success with matte colors than I do with metallic colors. Not sure what makes the difference.

I stamped the sentiment on vellum then clear embossed it. This floral stamp/die set is so versatile with so many options for use. Next time I want to try creating a wreath...maybe even with a wreath builder template.
STAMPS: Fresh Florals.
INK: Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Pinefeather, Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado.
PAPER: Vellum, Lemon Tart, White.
DIES: Love to Layer: Ovals, Fresh Florals.
OTHER: Exquisite Leaf Frame hot foil plate; Matte white foil.

Next up are quite a few posts related to the Frightful Frames and Spooky Treat Labels sets.

I wanted to give you ideas for gifting young and old and decided to go with a gift box, some diaper fold favor holders and a gift card holder using the Brew To Go die set. This would be a good way to "treat" a mail carrier, store clerk, neighbor...the list goes on and on!

I used the same color themes throughout with papers from Doodlebug Designs' Monster Madness 6x6" pad (with exception of diaper folds).

Tags and embellishments were all stamped with a black pigment ink then embossed with clear powder. These pouches were folded using a 6" square of patterned paper with designs on front and back. Google "diaper fold" on You Tube for many quick tutorials. I'm giving you a bit of a sneak peek from another spooky set that will be revealed in 2 days (bats, spiders, etc.).

Since the one tag references " witches brew", I knew I had to go with this gift card set that was previously released last year.

STAMPS: Spooky Treat Labels, Spooky Halloween, Witch's Brew.
INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne.
PAPER: Monster Madness 6x6" pad (Doodlebug Design); Classic Kraft, 
White, True Black, Orange Zest; Granny Apple Green.
DIES: Scallop Top Gift Bag, Brew To Go, Spooky Treat Labels, Spooky Halloween, Witch's Brew.
OTHER: Ribbon, Clear embossing powder.

TIPS:
1. Use coordinating papers to match up the treat containers with the cards that I will show you next.
2. Gift cards can easily be inserted into the Brew To Go cup or the diaper fold pouches.
