Hi friends! Yipppeeee, it's finally time to share all my design team projects from the July Papertrey Ink new release! I'm so happy, I'm bursting at the seams...so hard to keep all these projects secret the past week! The entire new release went live for purchase last night at 10pm EST. Did you already order? Or, are you waiting to see some more projects from everyone? There will be inspiration the next five days in a row from all of us so be sure to stop by each day to see me! And, hope you're having a lovely weekend! My husband went to the State Fair yesterday and they had a Dole Whip stand....and he brought me one home. Yummmmm. Made my entire weekend. So delicious, just like we had in Hawaii!
I'm sharing three cards today. One card is a classic design for a congratulations card and the other two are happy and cheerful greetings with adorable birds and pretty flowers. I'm featuring the Give Love Stamp Set (and dies) and the Cover Up Quatrefoil Background Stamp. Lots of pictures coming at ya!
The brand new Cover Up Quatrefoil stamp is one large background stamp that makes this beautiful pattern! I wanted to think of a unique way to use it in my project so I decided to stamp it in pretty blue onto cream paper, and then die cut that panel into a circle for my focal point. I used a nautical theme for this card. I think it would be wonderful for someone retiring, or getting a promotion in their job. Or even moving away to a new home. I always love red, white and cream for a vintage feeling too. I used lots of patterns and stripes but since the scale is all small, it works.
The sailboat is from the new release - Cloche Quarters Summer Fillers! The Congratulations die is also new from this release. I layered the sailboat onto the card using foam sqaures. My card base is A2 and made from Kraft paper. The nautical theme continues by using twine to look like rope. Can you tell I had fun making this card?
I used my MISTI tool to perfectly line up all the layers of the sailboat stamps. There are four colors altogether in this one stamp. It looks so elegant floating there!
The next two cards are the same exact card - just with different colors! I made the first one in bright cheery Spring and Summer colors and when I was done, I thought... Hmmm, what about in Fall colors too? So I made another card! It's amazing how different it looks just by changing the season! The cards were made with the brand new Give Love stamp set and matching dies. This is seriously the most adorable stamp set! I love the birdies and all the different options for flowers and leaves... The font is also really beautiful. You can't help but smile.
My favorite shades of pink and green.....ahhhh.... And a pretty bluebird! I love the coordinating stamp to make the speckles on his chest. Too cute! For the leaves, I stamped some directly onto the paper and others were die cut out and mounted with foam squares.
See what I mean about that beautiful font? I added a few enamel dots at the end of the process for the flower centers.
And, here is the Fall version of that card! What do you think? Which one do you like better? It's hard for me to decide. But I loooooove Autumn time!
Nice shades of yellow, brown, orange and gold for this card....
Thank you oh so much for stopping by today! Remember, the next four days in a row I have tons more to share from the new Papertrey Ink release so I hope I see you tomorrow! Hope you have a great week ahead. CLICK HERE to shop the new release!

Loved your blog today. All 3 cards are awesome. That spring green is one of my favs. You are right, the card looks so different in different colors.
Ordered that stamp & die immediately.

Three very different, but lovely, cards. You've been busy (in spite of the heat!). Can hardly wait to see your projects this week.
A Dole whip? Sounds yummy!
