Hi there! Thanks for joining me all week as I've been introducing and sharing brand new projects and products from the July Papertrey Ink new release! It has been a whirlwind of creativity and sharing and I've loved it! I hope you've been inspired all week and hope that your creativity is flowing and that you are having fun in your studio too! I wish I could peek into your craft spaces and see what all of you are making too!! Happy Thursday, or as I like to say, Happy Friday Eve!
All of the new products for the July release are available now in the PTI Store. Today I'm featuring two new sets, Mountain Majesty and Year Of Psalms July. I've also added some other new products in with my cards to show you some other new items.
First up is the card I made with the Mountain Majesty stamps and matching dies. Man, this is such a unique and cool stamp set! A gorgeous three layer stamped mountain range! Wowza! I'm not sure why, but the first thing I thought of was a postcard! The idea just popped in my head! So I set about trying to figure out how to make a mountain postcard...and this is what I came up with. A sweet 'missing you' card!
I started with a white A2 card base and then layered soft grey paper and then red striped paper and set that aside. I wrapped twine around these bottom layers before attaching them to my card. For the postcard I used the new dies - Mix and Mat Postal and die cut the postcard shape. I stamped the Celestial Sky background on the top of the postcard and then stamped the sentiment. Next I stamped two mountain ranges in shades of grey and blue. I die cut them out first. then, I ran them back through the postcard die to get the correct shape on the edges. Next I attached them to the card, offset and layered! I hope this makes sense!
Here's a close up of the mountain ranges!
Next up is a clean and simple card design that features the newest addition to the Year Of Psalms stamp collection. I stamped the Psalm onto a crisp white piece of paper. My card base was layered with kraft paper. I used some purple patterned paper from my stash and die cut an oval into it to fit over the words. I layered the purple layer with foam tape on top of the white paper.
To add decorations to the card, I used the lavender image from the Stemmed Statements stamp set (also new this month). I stamped two and die cut them out. I colored them with Copic Markers. Before I added them to the card I wrapped some natural twine around the stems.
What a crazy fun week! Thank you for hanging out with me all week and thank you for all the love and support and comments! What was your favorite thing from this new release?
