Hi crafty friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you're having a nice weekend! Today I'm going to my first ever Planner Meet Up! I have no idea what to expect, but I know for sure it will be FUN! I can't wait to hang out with happy crafty girls all afternoon and evening (and eat pizza too!). Looking forward to seeing everyone's amazing planners, doing some creative things, and laughing. I'm also excited and looking forward to meeting one of my online crafty friends in person too. It's at an awesome store, owned by a totally awesome lady - called The Island's Creative Escape! YAY!! Are you a planner girl?? Have you ever been to a meet up??? Tell me!!
Today, as part of the June Release Week Festivities for Papertrey Ink, I'm introducing two more projects with two more new stamp sets! One is a beautiful set perfect for 4th of July (Land that I Love), and the other is a fresh and funky set of design elements (Textile Impressions)! Everything for the new release is now available in the PTI online store!
First up, a 4th of July card! Yeah, 4th of July is coming soooooon! How is that even possible? Okay, never mind about that. Hahaha. I love kraft and red, so I started with that as the basis for my card. I used the new Mix and Mat Pretty Brackets Die to make the focal point of the card. Then I used white ink, and red, blue and yellow inks to randomly stamp the fireworks all over. I added the beautiful sentiment in black. All of the stamps are from the new Land That I Love stamp set.
I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to edge around the center die piece. This makes the top kraft part stand out against the bottom kraft base. I added some clear rhinestones for the centers of some of the fireworks.
I felt like the card needed one big pop of color so I added a bright gold star at the bottom!
The next card was made with the new Textile Impressions stamp set. It's a set full of textures and graphics that you can mix and match to form design elements. Very creative! There are also a few perfect sentiments. I used the one chevron image and some fresh colors to stamp randomly onto a little note. The note was cut from the PTI Spiral Notebook Die. I thought it was nice with that sentiment!!
I layered some pretty PTI patterned paper and added a bow and a pin to the card for accents. This is very clean and simple and I kinda like it!!
Just a note to say HELLO! :-)
Thank you again for coming by today! Have an awesome weekend! See you tomorrow! CLICK HERE to shop the new PTI release! XOXO

Wanda, your cards are gorgeous! So fun! When you mentioned the name of the store for your planner meet up, I wondered if it was the same Scrapbook Island that used to be in San Jose. I haven't been since they moved to Los Gatos (I live in San Mateo), but that was a fabulous store! Saw you on their FB page - looks like you had a great time!

Fun cards--I really like the chevron pattern and colors on the second card.

Both cards are wonderful. The holiday card is awesome and the colors in the second card work well together.
