Hi! I'm back with more projects from the June 2017 Papertrey Ink new release! It's been a fun week showing you everything! And, Happy Father's Day to all of you as well! And Happy Sunday! I'm still away on my little getaway to the Bay Area and I'll be home tonight. Can't wait to tell you about it. Hope you're having an awesome weekend. It's going to be over 100 degrees every day this coming week where I live. Yikes! I wish we had a swimming pool at our house!!
Today I'm sharing two cards - One made with the fabulous new Mini Kit called Herb Garden, and one with the newest Quoted stamps - called True Friends. All of the brand new release products are available in the PTI store now. Hope you found something you like! CLICK HERE to see the new release.
The newest addition to the Mini Kits is gorgeous! It's called Herb Garden, and, as you would expect, has beautiful herb images and pretty words, beautiful linen papers, and awesome matching dies... Sigh. I think that gardening themed products are perfect for so many occasions. We all have that one friend who has a brilliant green thumb! And we all need serene images of greenery for hard occasions. I have so many ideas for this set. I used the stamps and dies today, but the matching papers are GORGEOUS! I'm going to have to try to not hoard them. LOL.
My card started with a kraft woodgrain card base. Then I layered beautiful green paper - just a sliver. Then I stamped the herb images onto a white panel to create my own patterned paper. Then I stamped and die cut my main image and placed it on a crisp tag. Some twine finishes it all off. Because, heck, gardening cards must have twine!
I used several shades of green and brown to create a natural feel to the card. When I put the parsley onto the tag, it kind of got lost. So I stamped some background images in a soft brown tone to ground it. I stamped the words in darker brown.
So elegant and classy!!! I love that each of the herbs is different and unique, but they all look good together mixed.
My next card uses the brand new Quoted: True Friends stamp set! I also decided to pair it with the fun camping images from the Hello Mother, Hello Father stamp set. I started with a rich green card base and layered kraft cardstock. You can see that I used the woodgrain stencil to make my kraft layer have some interest. I stamped all the images in brown, and colored with my Copic Markers.
For the front piece, I rounded the corners of the paper. This is cream cardstock, not bright white, for a natural look. I splattered some light tan paint over the images once they were all colored in. I laced some twine around the top of the kraft layer.
THANK YOU for coming by each day to see more Papertrey Ink inspiration from the new release. LOTS more coming tomorrow! CLICK HERE to see the entire new release and shop. Have an amazing day. XOXO

Oh I LOVE both of these cards!! I agree with Julie-they have a vintage feel to them that is so refreshing. I have a lot of nostalgia lately as my daughter is growing. Time FLIES!!

Love the vintage look and beautiful stamping on both cards.
This heat is awful! Too hot to open up at night or early morning 😓
