I'm back for day two of five new release posts for the August Papertrey Ink release! WOOHOOOO! All of the products are available now in the Papertrey Ink Store. Did you already get some things? What was your favorite from the new release? I am loving everything so far because it's all about Fall! I hope you're having a good week so far. Last night I went to a cool event at a local studio and had a great time with fellow creatives and bloggers. The event is called Wide Open Walls and it's a mural festival! CLICK HERE to see more about it! Tonight I'm off to another creative meet up. Sacramento has so much going on lately. I'm loving it! And I'm loving being busy on these cooler nights. I'm taking tons of photographs lately too. Life is good. I am grateful.
Today the PTI design team is introducing two more new stamp sets and I have cards made with both of them: Autumn Scarecrow and Kind of Corny. The Autumn Scarecrow set is the most adorable scarecrow you ever did see, and Kind of Corny is anything but corny - it's classic and beautiful. If you're like me, and you love Autumn, today's post is for you! Let's get to it.
I told you he was adorable! Orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel, so these two colors always look good together. I decided to use accents of blue in this Fall card. I paper pieced the scarecrow's shirt with some gingham paper from my stash. The rest of him, and the other images, are colored with Copic Markers. I added yellow and orange Stickles as accents to the card too. I used the PTI Picket Fence Die cut to give the card some depth. This is a die I use all the time! (Info in supply links)
The other thing I adore about this stamp set is the sentiments and the beautiful fresh fonts!! I will be using these sentiments with lots of other stamp sets for sure. LOVE. And they stamp so crisp and clean.
I added one little red enamel dot heart from my stash to his shirt. He looks like such a friendly fellow!
This next card features the Kind of Corny stamp set, and I went crazy with distressing and antiquing this one! I used rich Autumn colors and the new PTI paper!
For the corn image - it is several stamps that go together. Three images for the corn - you can see that I used red, orange and yellow, and two images for the leaves....and two more images for the bow. I die cut out the bow and popped it up with foam tape.
For the sentiment banner, I stamped onto Vintage Cream cardstock and then hand cut the banner out with some small scissors. Makes it more old looking. I splattered paint and ink all over the entire project. The edges of everything are sponged with Distress Inks.
Thank you very very much for stopping by today! CLICK HERE to see all the newest stamps and dies released this week! I will see you right back here tomorrow! Tomorrow we are introducing a new kit from Betsy Veldman and it's ADORABLE!! XOXO
