Papertrey Ink - Glorious Globes: January



Welcome to Day Three of Papertrey Ink's January Release Countdown.

Be sure to check out DAY ONE and DAY TWO over on the PTI blog if you need to catch up on products already introduced.

Today I will be helping to introduce GLORIOUS GLOBES: JANUARY. I've also incorporated two new dies: BOLD BORDERS: ARABESQUE, NESTING BASICS: OVALS and NESTING BASICS: PIERCED OVALS.

You can find all the details about these new products on the Papertrey Ink blog.

The January Release products will be available at 10 pm January 15 in the Papertrey Ink store.


I started today's card with the globe and the oval it sits on. The globe stand is from the previously released GLORIOUS GLOBES: BASICS, and the globe and sentiment are from the GLORIOUS GLOBES: JANUARY addition. I added a tiny wooden heart and some white linen thread to the globe and popped it up onto the oval panel.

The oval panel was cut with an oval from the NESTING BASICS: OVALS set, then the piercing detail was added with the NESTING BASICS: PIERCED OVALS set.



I added a little stamping to the pierced oval: The rays are from CORNER ADORNER: NOVEMBER, and the tiny stamped hearts are from yesterday's WORTH THE WAIT set.


In the back is a BOLD BORDERS: ARABESQUE diecut in white over a Limeade Ice card base. For added pops of color, I inlaid some Raspberry Fizz and Harvest Gold.

Papertrey Ink - Worth the Wait


Welcome to Day Two of Papertrey Ink's January Release Countdown.

Be sure to check out DAY ONE over on the PTI blog if you need to catch up on products already introduced.

Today I will be helping to introduce WORTH THE WAIT, and EVEN MORE: WORTH THE WAIT, both darling baby-themed sets filled with hand lettering and a bunch of tassel images for building garlands.

You can find all the details about these new products on the Papertrey Ink blog.

The January Release products will be available at 10 pm January 15 in the Papertrey Ink store.



My card today combines both sets. The tassel garlands in the background were done with WORTH THE WAIT, and the sentiment was done with EVEN MORE: WORTH THE WAIT.


I stamped the tassels in Limeade Ice, Aqua Mist, Dark Indigo and Weathervane. In between the tassels I stamped some darling little circles to look like felt pompoms.



The splatter in the background was stamped using CORNER ADORNER: JANUARY, which was part of yesterday's product introductions. I die-cut the perimeter with piercing detail using NESTING BASICS: PIERCED RECTANGLES, then added the lightly ink-blended sentiment panel.

Reverse Confetti January Release Hop


Hello and welcome to Reverse Confetti's January New Release Hop! 

Now available in the Reverse Confetti store:

5 new stamp sets
7 Confetti Cuts
1 6x6 paper pad


Here's the full hop order so you don't miss a thing:



I have two card projects to share with you today:


The features a few of the new products: HEART PATTERNS stamps and dies, DIAGONAL STITCHES COVER PANEL Confetti Cuts, and FROM CUPID pattern paper pad. Also mixed in are a few heart die-cuts from the previously released STAMPED NOTE Confetti Cuts die set.


I'm so excited about the new DIAGONAL STITCHES COVER PANEL die. I almost feel like the stitched cover plates are the new embossing folder. They add just the right amount of background texture without overpowering other design elements.



The larger hearts are a mixture of PATTERNED HEARTS stamped hearts and hearts that I die-cut from the FROM CUPID paper pad. The smaller hearts were diecut from SALSA CARD STOCK using STAMPED NOTE Confetti Cuts.



Finishing touch was a bucket of clear sequins. Too many? (Is there such a thing?) And see those heart outlines next to the card? Extras for a future project! I love that the die is nested. So many more things you can do with it than if it were just a single heart shape.







Next up is a card made with HEART PALS, HELLO LOVELY Confetti Cuts, the DIAGONAL STITCHES COVER PANEL (again), and a sentiment from PATTERNED HEARTS.



I started with a white background that I diecut with the DIAGONAL STITCHES COVER PANEL. Next I diecut the HELLO LOVELY letters out, replacing the middles of the "e's" and "o's." 

The ink blending and splattering behind the letters was done with PISTACHIO, LIME GREEN, and AVOCADO Reverse Confetti inks, as well as opaque white paint.



HEART PALS is just too cute! I can't wait to color the other two critter images!





Enjoy the rest of the hop! Next stop: Tricia Barber.

Have a great day!
