May Papertrey Ink Release

All the ladies thought we'd share our projects on our blogs tonight. Thanks for stopping by and seeing them.


Up, Up, and Away is probably in my top 5 favorite PTI stamp sets. Especially with those dies! Incredible. To create the "silver" lining on the cloud, place your die flat side up on your card front and trace with a fine glue pen. remove die and sprinkle with glitter. Totally fun. I'll have a few more cards later this week featuring this set. Can't. Stop. Using. It.

Another note: check out my sun. Its a circle punched from paper impressed with Sunshine. Pretty sweet.



I've been waiting for three Year of Flower sets in the same season to make a card like this. YAY! The rectangle stamp from Text Boxed works well as a frame. Colored watercolor pencils teamed up with Copics help the soft colors pop on the kraft cardstock.



I'm a 4th of July baby, so I immediately saw fireworks with a few of the arrows from To the Point. The "sticks" are made from the skinny long arrow having the point masked off. Dot Spot makes the best fireworks.



Take Three: Summer inspired an unique color combo for me.



Had fun with textures and dies when featuring Aloha. Did you see Ashley's postcard background? WOWZA!

Clickity Click Click on over to the other blogs from some great new inspiration. I'm staying up to see it myself!

  6. So with every card I scrolled down to look at I thought, "This is my favorite." Then I'd scroll down a little more, and I would think, "No, this is my favorite." Seriously, I love every card you made for this release. I have to say the Up, Up and Away card is incredible...love all the dimension, the Year of the Flowers card is beautiful and the fireworks card is pure genius (I even told my husband he had to come look at this one because it is so creative). Thanks for sharing your talent!!! ~Lindsey
