PTI November Release Day 2

 Did you like yesterday's post with new goodies? There are more "must have" stamps and dies in today's reveals from the November release at Papertrey Ink! We are introducing you to Adorning Trees stamp set and dies + Inside Greetings: Heaven & Nature Sing stamp set + Feathered Friends 17 dies + Feathered Friends Mini 17 stamp set and dies.

I love the classic use of black, white and gold together, so went with a very simple design that lets the gold glitter be the star attraction.

STAMPS: Adorning Trees, Inside Greetings: Heaven & Nature Sing

INK: True Black
PAPER: True Black, White; Glitter Gold
DIES: Adorning Trees, Love to Layer: Notched

For my next card, I'm featuring the newest Feathered Friend die set. This turkey is a fun one and though he's a little late for this year's Thanksgiving season, you'll be ready for it next year!

I seem to be on a roll with using strips in my backgrounds, but they are fun to use and are visually striking in my opinion.

I cut all the turkey parts from white paper then color blended and assembled.

STAMPS: Fall Bouquet
INK: Scarlet Jewel, Canyon Clay, Pure Poppy, Weathervane, Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, True Black
PAPER: Scarlet Jewel, Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Canyon Clay, Rustic White, White
DIES: Feathered Friends 17
OTHER: Master Layouts 8 (Gina K Designs)

Lastly...I have three cards featuring the newest Feathered Friend Mini 17 stamps/dies.

I took the color cues from the patterned papers and created this vividly colored bird!

STAMPS: Feathered Friends Mini 17, Just Sentiments: Appreciation
INK: True Black, Fine Linen, Pure Poppy, RIpe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, New Leaf, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold, Dark Chocolate, Cocoa Bean, Terracotta Tile, Canyon Clay
PAPER: Text-Style: Fall Prints + Patterns, Rustic Cream, Ripe Avocado
DIES: Feathered Friends Mini 17
OTHER: Stitched rectangle dies; Oval dies 

This card is a mini slimline version that pairs a more whimsical turkey with these textured trees. I loved using Ranger Grit Texture Snowfall paste along with Nuvo glitter paste. Use a small palette knife to apply the paste. After spreading over the area, raise up the knife in short motions to give it a raised appearance (think popcorn ceilings) :-)
The snow drift has fine glitter added using a Zig 2-way glue pen.

STAMPS: Oh, Holy Night, Feathered Friends Mini 17, Grand Christmas Sentiments
INK: Classic Kraft, Aqua Mist, Stormy Sea, Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Vintage Jadeite, Ocean Tides, True Black, Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Fine Linen, Hawaiian Shores
PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface
DIES: Oh, Holy Night, Feathered Friends Mini 17, Grand Christmas Sentiments
OTHER: Distress Texture Paste - Crackle, Nuvo Glimmer paste, Mini Slimline Essential Bundle (Pinkfresh Studio)

I chose to create a background by color blending over an Aspen Trees stencil. I then added fine glitter to the edges of the trunks and to the starflakes.

STAMPS: Feathered Friends Mini 17, Feathered Friends Mini 8 (branch), Effortless Beauties (sentiment)
INK: Speckled Egg, Antique Linen, Walnut Stain distress inks by Ranger; Sweet Blush, Honey Nut, Saffron Spice, Classic Kraft, Cocoa Bean, Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, True Black, Weathervane
PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; White, Saffron Spice

PTI November Release Day 1

Hello everyone! It's time again for the new monthly release at Papertrey Ink. Once again, manufacturing delays made it occur later in the month, plus...we will cover everything in two days instead of the usual four days. Posts will be rather long, but hang in there...there are lots of awesome new products coming!

Today, we are introducing Joyful Snowman stamp set and dies + Corner It: Festive Holiday stamp set and dies, Holiday Cheer Gift Tags dies + Holiday Cheer Overlay dies + Just Sentiments: Holiday Tags stamp set, Joyful Florals stamp set and dies + Large and Small Dimensional Bow dies, Into the Blooms: Peonies dies + Just Sentiments: Heaven & Nature Sing stamp set. 

I love snowman images and had a lot of fun using a textured grit paste along with fine glitter to add some pizzazz to this chilly guy! I was unable to stamp the facial features due to the roughness of the paste, so added eyes with tiny hole punched dots with white gel pen centers and added the mouth using a black gel pen.

STAMPS: Joyful Snowman
INK: True Black, Blueberry Sky, Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel, Orange Zest, New Leaf, Pinefeather, Fine Linen, Cocoa Bean
PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; White, Bitty Big: Pure Poppy
DIES: Joyful Snowman, Border Bling: Postage Frames, Mix & Mat: Plaid, Pierced Feature Frames
OTHER: Ranger Distress Grit Paste Snowfall; Fine glitter

Next is a set that has lots of fun little Christmasy floral images for you to arrange to your heart's content. I embossed the sentiment on vellum with Rose Gold EP to match the embossed torn edges layers.

STAMPS: Corner It: Festive Holiday, Just Sentiments: Heaven & Nature Sing
INK: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, Saffron Spice, Classic Kraft, Cocoa Bean, Ocean Tides, Pinefeather, Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado; Versamark

This tag set is very versatile and can be used on cards in addition to making quick and easy tags! I was inspired by many cards online using different colored strips for the background and went with some of my favorite colors.

The snowflake vellum panel behind the plaid die was from MANY years ago when Stampin' Up carried this item. The two snowflake dies in this set are so beautiful and useful to add as embellishments!

STAMPS: Inside Greetings: Heaven & Nature Sing
INK: Dark Indigo
PAPER: Dark Indigo, White, Simply Chartreuse, New Leaf, Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal
DIES: Holiday Cheer Gift Tags, Holiday Cheer Overlay, Border Bling: Joy Frame, Mix & Mat: Plaid

There is a wonderful new coordinating set with inside greetings to finish off your design...inside and out! 

Below is an idea for attaching a tag to a sweet treat for someone! 

Next up are some more florals and some bow dies for endless creative possibilities!

This gift box is one of my favorite options to gift something! The new Joyful Florals are perfect to pair with the wreath as is the small bow die set.

Next we have a new flower to add to the Into the Blooms series and this time it's peonies! 

My layout is very simple. I added a bit of dimension by sponging the edges of the flowers and leaves. Some moonshine sequins and black twine are finishing details to the design.

STAMPS: Just Sentiments: Heaven & Nature Sing
INK: Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, True Black
PAPER: Bitty Big: Aqua Mist, True Black, Raspberry Fizz, Lovely Lady
DIES: Into the Blooms: Peonies, To the Point: Edgers

I'm really loving the unique options for sentiments in this release! This one sums up the real reason of the season!

Color Throwdown #669

 

Hello everyone! It's time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge and we've got a classy color combo for you this week: navy, gold and white! I went with an old standby layout using snowflake layers from the Bigz Snow Flurry die by Stampin' Up (retired).

I dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background panel. The sentiment die was cut twice and slightly offset to be able to see the navy layer peeking out.

PAPER: Dark Indigo, White, Luxe Gold by Papertrey Ink.

DIES: Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics by My Favorite Things; Bigz Snow Flurry by Stampin' Up; Border Bling: Joy Frame by Papertrey Ink. 

 

We would love to have you join us in this challenge!   ~Wanda

Fusion Card Challenge

How is it time already for another Fusion Card Challenge?! This season is really flying by quickly, but there is a great new sketch and inspiration photo to get your mojo going! I used a loose interpretation of the sketch and focused on the triangles and the balls.

I wanted to use these new (to me) triangle dies as contemporary Christmas trees in pink, lime green and forest green colors. The starry background was made using a stencil and Lovely Lady ink then adding Nuvo Glimmer paste which adds a wonderful sparkle and dimension.

To build up my Christmas stash, I'm trying to make at least two of a design while everything is out on my desk.

STAMPS: Ornament Greetings (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Versamark, Lovely Lady (Papertrey Ink).

PAPER: Bitty Big: Pinefeather, Rustic White, Pinefeather, Lovely Lady, Green Parakeet (PTI).

DIES: Ornament Greetings (PTI), Stitched Tall Triangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Nuvo Glimmer paste; Starry stencil (PTI).

Would love to have you join us in this challenge! Happy stamping!       ~Wanda

 

 

Color Throwdown #668

 

Hello everyone! It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge and Lynn is our host with some fabulous fall colors: brown, rust, gold, and  blue. I decided the newest Feathered Friend 16 die from Papertrey Ink would look good decked out in these colors! I die cut all of the bird parts from Bristol Smooth Surface water color paper then color blended using brushes.

 

The torn edges panel was embossed using a dot stencil from PTI. The edges were sponged with Blueberry Sky ink.

STAMPS: Vase Collection 4, Framing Fall Sentiments, Sprigs & Sprays: Holiday (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Honey Nut, Classic Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Harvest Gold, Terracotta Tile, Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, Prairie Grass (dye inks by PTI).

PAPER: Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky (PTI); Bristol Smooth Surface.

DIES: Feathered Friends 16, Love to Layer: Torn Edges, Sprigs & Sprays: Holiday, Vase Collection 4, Framing Fall Sentiments (PTI).

OTHER: WOW! White Pearl Regular embossing powder.

That's all for now. Be sure to join us for this fun challenge!  ~Wanda

Color Throwdown #667

Another Wednesday and another Color Throwdown challenge is happening!  This week, Lori is hosting and has chosen orange, peach, pink and red. I used Sweet Blush for pink, Melon Berry for peach, Canyon Clay for orange and Scarlet Jewel for red (all dye inks by Papertrey Ink). I wanted to mimic the rainbow, so I pulled a new (to me) die set called Master Layouts 8 by Gina K Designs. I loved the one die piece that cuts out five strips at one time.

I thought the Abundant Blooms stamp set would work well for the colors. A little copper cording and some dew drops finished it all off.

STAMPS: Abundant Blooms, Dear Friend (sentiment) by Papertrey Ink.

PAPER: Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Canyon Clay, Scarlet Jewel, White (PTI).

INK: Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Canyon Clay, Scarlet Jewel, Soft Stone, Weathervane, Simply Chartreuse (PTI).

DIES: Abundant Blooms, Dear Friend (PTI); Master Layouts 8 (Gina K Designs). 

 

That's all for today! We would love to have you join us in this challenge, so hope to see you in the gallery!    ~Wanda
