The November release includes five stamp sets, seven Confetti Cuts, and one 6x6 paper pad. Today we are featuring CHRISTMAS CIRCLES and DRINK MORE COFFEE (yum!).

I have a few creations to share today, beginning with these little treat sacks. The basic sacks/totes/boxes were created with the SCALLOPED BAG & TAGS CREATOR, which is a scalloped take on September's pinked-edge BAG & TAGS CREATOR set. I love making these treat sacks. They couldn't be any easier!

This first one was cut from RC Aqua card stock. The stitched perimeter square window die is included in the SCALLOPED BAG & TAGS CREATOR set. I stamped the little circle pattern with an image you'll see more of tomorrow and then tied on a simple tag done with the CHRISTMAS CIRCLES set. The layered tag dies are also in SCALLOPED BAG & TAG CREATOR.

This next one was created with a polka dot pattern from the new WINTER SOLSTICE paper pad. I turned over the scalloped edge on this one, punched two holes through the middle scallop and tied the sack together with some twine and another CHRISMAS CIRCLES tag.

And then for the last one, I first die-cut a panel of Piggy Bank cardstock with the Stitched Rays Cover Panel Confetti Cuts, then cut it with the SCALLOPED BAG & TAGS CREATOR die. I added some WINTER SOLSTICE accents and another CHRISTMAS CIRCLES tag. I adhered it to a second panel around the left, right and bottom to create a flat sack. Perfect size to hold gift cards.

My next project features DRINK MORE COFFEE as well as a new Confetti Cuts: the GRID STITCHED TAG (new favorite!)

I started by randomly stamping the coffee mugs onto a Cloud White card stock panel, embossing in white, and watercoloring in rich browns and grays. I die-cut the GRID STITCHED TAG from vellum and heat embossed a DRINK MORE COFFEE sentiment in black.

The stitching detail on the GRID STITCHED TAG shows up much better on card stock, but you can kind of see it here. I added a topper from Dark Roast card stock and some natural jute string to finish.

Yuletide Deer - Papertrey Ink

Happy Friday! Last weekend, I had a little extra time in my craft room and couldn't resist creating another card with the adorable deer image in Papertrey Ink's FAWN & FLORA set. 

Instead of the usual fawn color, I decided to stamp the deer in grays. Love the lighter look! This is SOFT STONE and WEATHERVANE. The sentiment is stamped on vellum in a light red pigment ink, then heat embossed with clear powder.

I ink blended and splattered a BOLD BORDERS: YULETIDE die-cut to use as a frame.

I also ink-blended and splattered around the perimeter of the white card base for a softer, tone-on-tone look with the BOLD BORDERS: YULETIDE frame.

So glad you stopped by! Have a great weekend!

Eeek! - Reverse Confetti's Frightening Friends

Just wanted to pop in today and share a card I made for Reverse Confetti's September release, but forgot to share here.

These little Halloween cuties are from FRIGHTENING FRIENDS, and the sentiment is from BOO YEA.

In the background is a TRIANGLES COVER PANEL diecut in Premier Polar White card stock. The pattern paper strips are from the ABUNDANT AUTUMN paper pad.

It will be hard to put this set away at the end of the month! These guys are so cute!

Thanks for visiting!

Shiplap + Farmhouse Window - Papertrey Ink

Papertrey Ink's October release is now available in the Papertrey Ink store! 

I have a few more cards to share, starting with this shiplap WINTER WINDOW scene. The shiplap look is super easy if you have any type of striped cover plate die. I used Papertrey's HORIZONTAL STRIPES COVER PLATE here. Of course you could always use a paper trimmer to cut the strips, but I think the die-cut strips have a more finished look.

I (like many) love the modern farmhouse look, especially houses with white shiplap and black windows, so that's what I've created here. 

Behind the window, I put together a winter scene using mostly the images and dies from the WINTER WINDOW collection. The only addition I made was the snowy hills landscape, which I did with the SHAPE SHIFTERS: OVAL 2 die.

I stamped the sentiment along the top, using a MISTI to stamp multiple times for good coverage over the horizontal strips. The tiny holly and pine images are from FAWN & FLORA.

Papertrey Ink October Release - Winter Window

It's Day Four of Papertrey Ink's October Release countdown. Welcome! I'm excited to help introduce WINTER WINDOW stamps and dies today.

You can find all the details about these new products HERE.

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

WINTER WINDOW stamps and dies by Lizzie Jones contain all sorts of different dies and images to create winter and Christmas window scenes: falling snow, a tree, deer, holiday swag, candle, etc.

I wanted to create a nighttime scene outside the window, so I ink blended a night sky, stamped some falling snow, and flecked with shimmer spritz. I added the tree to the left and then thought it would be fun to add Santa's sleigh using an image from Betsy Veldman's FAIRY TALE CHRISTMAS collection. (The Santa sleigh in PETITE PLACES: HOLIDAY LANE that should fit, too, if you have that.)

The sentiment diecut is from last month's BOLD BORDERS: YULETIDE, and my snowflake backdrop was done with this month's BOLD BORDERS: FLURRIES. I really wanted to make a shiplap background around the window, but it wasn't turning out quite like I envisioned, so that may come another day.

I thought the card needed a little sparkle, so I added some silver glass glitter to the window perimeter.  It's quite sparkly in real life, and breaks up all the white in the background.

Papertrey Ink October Release - Pleasing Envelopes + Fawn & Flora

Hello and welcome to Day One of Papertrey Ink's October Release countdown! 

Today I will be helping to introduce two new sets: PLEASING ENVELOPES and FAWN  & FLORA.

You can find all the details about these new products HERE.

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

First up is PLEASING ENVELOPES by Jennifer Campbell, which is a set filled with beautiful winter florals, including two poinsettias, and sentiments appropriate for envelope art and tags. I loved  stamping and layering these images to make a card and coordinating envelope.

For my background, I stamped the poinsettias in Pale Peony, added some shading with Berry Sorbet and the veins in Pure Poppy. The evergreen sprigs are stamped in Spring Moss, the leaves are in Spring Moss and Olive Twist, and the pinecones are Cocoa Bean. For more filler images, I added some different sprigs in Ocean Tides, Soft Stone, Classic Kraft and Dark Indigo.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is from FAWN & FLORA. For added interest, I ink blended around the stamping in Aqua Mist, then splattered with Aqua Mist and opaque white. One final touch was to spritz the whole panel with some shimmer spray.

I stamped the coordinating envelope in the same way. Who wouldn't love to receive a colorful envelope stamped with these beautiful florals?!

---

Next up is a really sweet set designed by Betsy Veldman: FAWN & FLORA. The various multi-step images are quick to stamp and easy to line up. In addition to the holiday greens, there are some other florals too, making this set much more than a holiday set.

I stamped my deer in Classic Kraft, Cocoa Bean, and True Black, then added some Christmas greens stamped in Mint Julep, Tropical Teal, Pinefeather, Cocoa Bean, Pure Poppy, and Ocean Tides. 

I stamped a sentiment onto a BASIC CUT TAG diecut, ink blended in Aqua Mist and spritzed with opaque white.

In the background is a Smokey Shadow MIX & MAT: PLAID diecut with some opaque white spritzing and some slight Fresh Snow blending around the perimeter.
