Hi everyone! Happy July! Hope you're having a great weekend so far, and hope you have some fun plans for the 4th! We are having a mellow weekend around the house. I'm doing lots of crafting and blogging. It's been peaceful and nice. Our weather is about perfect right now and we spent some time in the yard yesterday morning and all the flowers are doing so well!! I have something very exciting to share today. I've had to keep it under wraps for a while, and now I can finally tell you about it! My dear, sweet, and super talented friend Kimberly Crawford has a brand new line of kits she is designing for Papertrey Ink! It's called Sincerely Yours and I'm so happy for her to showcase her design talents. I'm happy for me because I get to make projects with her new kits! Yeah! The first kit is called Modern + Marbled and it's so classy and elegant. Modern and classic at the same time. The perfect mix of old and new and trendy. The one main stamp in the stamp set allows you to create gorgeous faux marbling. It's very cool.
For today, I used both the main kit, and the add on kit to create a thank you card and matching envelope. I tried to use all the different elements so you could see all of it used on a project. I hope you like it! The kit went on sale last night - CLICK HERE to check it out. The colors are beautiful shades of grays and pink with pops of gold. Doesn't get much better than that.
The dies that come with the set include three different sized hexagons and this pretty thank you die. My card base is made from Soft Stone Cardstock. Then I cut a white layer of paper and inked the marbling stamp in Soft Stone and Sweet Blush ink. For the focal point of my card I die cut the medium sized hexagon from white cardstock. For the gold edging I used the included glue pen and gilding flakes. The glue pen has a chiseled tip so I used the glue pen to 'draw' a border of glue around the edges. I waited a few minutes for it to dry and get tacky. They I adhered the gilding flakes. SOOOOO elegant!!! Then I glued the thank you die onto the center. The leaves in the background on the card were made with the PTI Branching Out Die.
To make the matching envelope, I used the marbling stamp to stamp just the back flap. This is really custom looking!! I die cut a banner from Sweet Blush Cardstock and layered some leaves with it. The gorgeous faux wax seals that come in the kit are very pretty - and look perfect right on the back of the envelope.
Here is a close up of the marbling effect! SO easy - just stamp randomly with one color or two! I think it would also be gorgeous to add some gold accents in with the marbling.
I love the way the gold shimmers in the light. It's really so much prettier in person!
Thank you for stopping by today! So excited to help launch this kit for Papertrey Ink - my absolute pleasure. I hope you like it too! Everything I used is listed below in the supply links. Tomorrow is the first Monday of the month, which means a new Hero Arts Card kit too! Lots of good stuff going on. Have a wonderful day! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!

Simply stunning, Wanda! Love those leaves popping out, and of course, your coordinating envelope is perfect. The gold gilding really edges the hexagon beautifully. Love this!
