Introducing Everyday Photo Finishers

Hello Everybody and welcome to the Papertrey Ink January Release. I'm here today to show you some projects using the new Everyday Photo Finisher Stamp set that is being released on January 15th. It's a companion set to Holiday Photo Finishers and the Photo Finisher dies. I've always believed that the Photo Finisher dies are an absolute must have tool. The way they span the width of a card, the amazing embossing detail that have, and the perfect home for a sentiment have made them one of my most used sets of dies. So I'm thrilled that we now have sentiments that match the curves and shapes of them to use with them year around. Let's get started.

First up, I have an example of how you can use the framed sentiments with your Copics. There are a few that are completely closed in, allowing for this look. Makes it easy to match the tone you set with other colored images on your card. This one in particular is a little preview of Fancy Folk Art stamps and dies you'll see later in the countdown. Everything is mounted on a Mega Mat Stack 3 die cut out of Spring Rain Gingham.

You might have noticed a surprise introduction today on Nichole's blog--Daydreamer dies! A dream come true. That stamp set is going to get a workout from me now. I framed my Photo Strip die and happy birthday sentiment in a floral motif in Aqua Mist, Ocean tides, and Simply Chartreuse.

The sentiments work well without the dies as well, as seen here. I teamed up a get well wish with a grid of stamped square motifs from Maile's new Square prints. Very masculine.

And lastly, I just let myself see where some creativity would take me in using the anniversary sentiment. I first stamped the sentiment in Simply Chartreuse onto Limeade Ice cardstock and trimmed out. I also stamped Raspberry Fizz ink on Hibiscus Burst cardstock and cut away just the banner, laying it on my original Limeade Ice sentiment. I was interested in playing off the reference to time in the sentiment, so I used some of the new Hands of Time collection of products. I'm sure you'll be blown away when those are revealed during the group projects this month. Consider this just a bit of a teaser.

Hope you enjoyed my projects. Remember, everything new will be available at www.papertreyink.com on January 15th. I'll be back over the next three days to show you new release projects using all the rest of the goodies. In the meantime, take a gander at what the other girls have been up to...
