Hello, friends! You all know the uber amazing Jennifer McGuire, right? (I mean, you are living under a rock if you don't...) Anywho, she posted on her blog about the Lasting Hearts Card Drive maybe a week-ish ago. The cause is one that is very near and dear to my heart, having dealt with 2.5 years of infertility myself, while also having to watch my very dear friend deal with not one, but four miscarriages.... well, let's just say, this cause really struck a chord with me. It's in my friend's honor that I've been cranking out cards like crazy to send to the Lasting Hearts Card Drive. Let's be honest. We all know that I'm not one who is often at a loss for words. But, when one of my closest friends told me that she was in the middle of a miscarriage, I can't say that I did a very good job of helping her through it... It was one of those situations that I just... didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I should say something, because I didn't want to remind and upset her if she had managed to forget about it for even just a second. I didn't know if I should just try to move on and get her mind off of it with mindless inanities. I didn't know if I should try to talk to her about it, if talking about it would make her feel better. I just... didn't know. What do you say to someone who has just lost a piece of her heart? So I didn't. It wasn't that I didn't want to, or that my heart was not aching for her. I told myself that I was giving her space to let her heal, that she would come to me when she was ready, but in truth, I was terrified of saying or doing the wrong things and making it worse. I wish I would have just told her that I was thinking of her, that I loved her, that I would do anything to help her. So that's what I'm trying to do with these cards. I've made several, some of which I'll blog about, some of which I will just post on Instagram. But I hope that they all remind these poor families that someone, somewhere is thinking of them and wishes they could do something to help with this burden that they are having to endure. Today's project is fairly simple. (In fact, I made three of them.) The Sunflower Cover Plate from Papertrey Ink does not require much in the way of embellishment. To start, I die cut the sunflower image using Canson Watercolor paper (the kind in the big pad from Wal Mart). I haven't been pleased with this particular brand of card stock for use with my Zig markers, so I was extremely pleased with how well it blended using my Distress Inks and blending tool. I blended the petals first with Scattered Straw, then added some Spiced Marmalade towards the center of the flower to indicate shading. The leaves were done with Crushed Olive and Forest Moss, again covering the entirety of the greenery with the lighter (Crushed Olive) and then adding some darker Forest Moss toward the center, where the leaves meet the stem. The center of the sunflower was Gathered Twigs, with some extra dark concentration of color towards the center. I did mask off the outer edge of the die cut with some washi tape when blending the center of the flower, and I wish I had done so for the entire thing. I managed to get some ink on the edge of the die cut, despite the care I was taking to prevent such a thing from happening. C'est la vie. The rest of the card is pretty simple, and in fact these cards came together quite quickly after I got all of the little holes pushed through the die cut. I used The Ton's Hot Tourmaline ink to blend the edges of the Jelly Bean (by Bazzill) card base. (The inks from The Ton seriously blend so beautifully, both on colored card stock and white, and I'm not just saying that because I'm on the design team.) The final step was to add the greeting: Big Hugs from Papertrey Ink. It has fantastic dies and sentiments to go along with it, and I simply don't use it enough. The Lasting Hearts Card Drive was the perfect reason to pull them out. I added some Glossy Accents to the Hugs to give it a bit more dimension and decided to stop. I felt odd not adding some sequins to it... maybe I will before I send them. Haven't decided. I sincerely hope that you will participate in the Lasting Hearts Card Drive. You can also donate money to help purchase with which the handmade cards will be included. The link at the beginning of the post will give you all of the pertinent information. I hope you enjoyed this project! I am so pleased to have finally used some of my PTI product that has been neglected for too long. Have a fantastic week, friends!
Hello and welcome to the fourth day of the Papertrey Ink August Countdown and the first Design Team group post. Today's post is all about the new Halloween sets... Mr. Bones, Happy Haunting & Tremendous Treats: Halloween. I've got a lot to share with you today... 1 tag, 2 treat wrap and 4 cards. So let me get started... First up... Mr. Bones, by Heather Nichols. I've combined this set with my Spider Web Die Trio and used the small and medium sizes to impress webs into a Rustic White cardstock panel. Then stamped the panel with a Mr. Bones sentiment and attached it over two types of Orange Zest pattern paper. Die cut, stamped and attached the cute spider. Up next... the tag, using this adorable skeleton image. I forgot to include an original shot of this skeleton, but I wanted a bit of movement from his arms. Here's how: I die cut and stamped two skeletons and then trimmed the arms above and below the elbow joints. With a couple of mini brad handy for reassembly. I attached the skeleton (with the arms trimmed below the joint) directly to the tag and kept the arms (trimmed above the joint) for attaching. Placed the arms in the desired position and then, using a piercing tool, I was able to pierce a hole through all layers and held everything together with the mini brads. Finished the card off with a heat embossed sentiment. Onto the second set... Happy Haunting, by Melissa Bickford. An adorable build your own monster set. I began this card by masking and stamping a row of ghoulish ghost in a color combo of Orange Zest, Berry Sorbet & Melon Berry. Trimmed the edge and finished the card off with a sentiment. Next... the treat wrap. Thes little packages were die cut using the Lunchbox Note Die from Royal Velvet, Orange Zest and True Black cardstock. Stamped each one with the monster outline and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to create ghostly figures. The inside features a mini die cut web, using the Spider Web Die Trio, folded over a candy filled glassine bag. I fix the bag into place with a bit of score tape. The third and final set for today... Tremendous Treats: Halloween, by Nichole Heady. For this card I chose to work with the spider image, I stamped him three times onto Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise and Simply Chartreuse pattern papers. Stamped the spider again, this time onto rustic white cardstock and colored (using Copic Markers) the heads to coordinate with the pattern papers. Strung twine spider webs (using the technique featured here), attached the spiders and finished the card off with a sentiment. Here's A Note: The twine used is actually cream colored crochet thread and I've had the same role for almost two years now. In case your wondering, you should be able to find your own at your local craft store. Last, but definitely not least... my favorite card of the day. Using the Take Three Die, I cut six squares and embellished each one with either an image or die cut web. Then finished the card off with brads and a sentiment. Well, there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed! Just remember that all of these sets will be available for purchase beginning August 15, at Papertrey Ink. Now, be sure to see what the rest of the Papertrey Ink design team has in store for you today...

Hello and welcome back to our final Release In Review post for the January Papertrey Ink release. All of the products you have been seeing over the past few days will be available at the Papertrey Ink online store tonight at 10:00pm EST! So much goodness!! This is going to be a long one! I have so much to show! Since I didn't get my butterflies dies in time for the first group post, they also have been added to my post today. I am in love with this new release... seriously!! I'm going to start with my butterfly cards! This one is using the new Bitty Butterflies stamp set and Bitty Butterflies Cover Plate. I cut one cover plate out with the chocolate brown card stock , then I stamped each of the butterflies in different colors. I added a small piece of Scor tape to the back of each one then inserted them back into the cutout spaces and bent them slightly so they would stand out. I stamped the sentiment and added it with foam tape. Bitty Butterflies Cover Plate Card STAMPS: Bitty Butterflies DIES: Cover Plate: Bitty Butterflies PAPER: Stamper’s Select, Dark Chocolate INK: Dark Chocolate, Limeade Ice,Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet, Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest, Hibiscus Burst, Aqua Mist *** And this one was created with Dawn's new Enclosed: Butterfly stamp set and dies. I used some of the Stars & Scribbles paper for my background. I cut the back of the butterfly out of some watercolored paper and glued three layers of the overlay on top. I glued a tiny strip of the Ombre Striped paper along the bottom edge, then added the embossed sentiments with foam tape. Enclosed Butterfly Card STAMPS: Enclosed: Butterfly, DIES: Enclosed: Butterfly PAPER: Smokey Shadow card stock, Stamper’s Select, Stars & Scribbles Paper Pack, Ombre Stripes paper pack INK: Versa Mark *** For this one I used the new Cover Plate: Butterflies. Such a beautiful die! I watercolored some paper for the background. I cut the butterfly cover plate out of Stamper's Select white card stock and glued that down over the watercolor paper. I took the background pieces of white and went around the edges with my Copic makers, making tiny dots to make the butterflies stand out. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. Butterfly Cover Plate Card STAMPS: Bitty Butterflies DIES: Cover Plate: Butterfly Die, Tag Sale: Quilted PAPER: Stamper’s Select INK: Versa Mark This card uses the new Keep It Simple: Baby and Tucked In: Baby stamp sets along with a previously released stamp set called Baby Button Bits. I also used the Tag Sale: Quilted die with some Lovely Lady Patterned paper to layer everything on. And on the inside I stamped one of the sweet sentiments from Tucked In: Baby. I stamped some little leaves from Turning A New Leaf stamp set and added a little flower from Bitty Button Stacks. Happy New Baby Card STAMPS: Tucked In: Baby, Keep It Simple: Baby, Baby Button Bits, Turning a New Leaf DIES: Baby Button Bits, Bitty Button Stacks, Button Stacks II, Tag Sale Quilted, Scene It: Basic Backer PAPER: Stampers Select, Lovely Lady + White Basics, Ombre Stripes paper pack INK: Stormy Sea, True Black *** This card features the beautiful new Bold Blossoms stamp set from Dawn Mcvey. Dawn does the most beautiful flower sets! I just love this one! I added lots of little details to the flowers and leaves with my Copic markers. You can see all of my details here in this close up. I even added a few green dots on the card itself in the background. That was kind of scary since I had finished the whole card before I did those! I so hoped that I wouldn't mess it up! Bold Blossoms Card STAMPS: Bold Blossoms DIES: Bold Blossoms PAPER: Stamper’s Select, Lovely Lady + White Paper collection INK: Raspberry Fizz, Sweet Blush, Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avacado *** And for my last project I used three new products coming out tonight: Thanks Coach, Go For The Goal, and Pennant Flag Dies. Both of my kids played soccer when they were young. Neither one of them were any good at all, but boy did we have fun going to the games and watching them play! My little boy, who is not so little anymore, had a purple uniform, so I made my card in the colors of his team. Such fun memories :) I stacked the sentiments for dimension and I added the stars from Betsy's Scene It: Celebration to the background. I also stamped the Go For The Goal sentiment on the banner for a little visual interest ;) Coach Card STAMPS: Go For The Goal DIES: Go For The Goal, Scene It: Celebration, Joyful Christmas, Thanks Coach, Pennant Flag Dies PAPER: Stamper’s Select, Winter Wisteria, Soft Stone INK: Royal Velvet, Winter Wisteria, Smokey Shadow I want to thank you all so much for stopping by over the past few days for the Papertrey Ink countdown and for all of the nice comments you have left for me. They sure make me smile! :) Remember all of the new products will be available at Papertrey Ink tonight at 10:00 PM EST!

Hi there! Today I have a card to share with you that I made for my aunt for Mother's Day. I used the same layout as one one of my other Doodlie Do cards, just changed up the colors and a few other little things. Have you ever found a stamp set, that no matter how many times you use it, still brings inspiration every time you pull it out? In case you haven't guessed, Doodlie Do does that for me. *wink* I am still so smitten with this stamp set. Anyway, onto the card... Haha! I used Background Basics: Tin Types for the lattice pattern, and some Pure Poppy bitty dot paper edged with the Pinked Edge border die. The flowers were colored with copics, and it may be a bit hard to see in the picture, but I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to them as well. Hope you like! Thanks for stopping by! :) Supplies (all PTI unless noted): Stamps: Doodlie Do, BB: Tin Types Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Pure Poppy, Tea Dye Duo Paper: SS White, Scarlet Jewel, Pure Poppy Pattern Pack Dies: Pinked Edge Border Other: Copics, Popdots, Pure Poppy Bakers Twine, Harvest Gold button, Wink of Stella Pen, Signo White gel pen
Good Morning! How is it Wednesday already?! Today, I have a card to share with you using PTI's Doodlie Do (again!). I just got my PTI order which contained the matching dies, so of course, I had to use them right away! I also used the new Scribbled Circles stamp set to stamp the lines on the Limitless Layers diecut. I can't wait to play with that set some more... so fun, and a great compliment to Doodlie Do! That's all for now...

Happy hump day! It's time again for a new Color Throwdown challenge and Kelly has chosen some great colors! I took some liberty to add what I call "neutral green" - lol! The April release at Papertrey Ink had these Into the Blooms: Mushrooms dies that are an absolute blast to play with! (I see they are already out of stock at PTI). I cut all the mushrooms and leaves from white cardstock then color blended and assembled the layering pieces. Aren't those tiny dots such a sweet detail?! STAMPS: Tuck It Sentiments (Papertrey Ink). INK: Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Fine Linen, Honey Nut, Classic Kraft, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky (PTI); Versamark.

OTHER: Jute twine, Dew drops, Wonderful Watercolor stencil collection (PTI). That's a wrap for today. Hope you can play along with us at CTD this week. Happy stamping! ~Wanda
Yeah. I bought those pens. The Zig Clean Color Watercolor ones or what have you. You know what I'm talking about. The blogosphere is a twitter. Everybody is buying them. And I'm such a joiner. Hey, we are all having fun, right? And it isn't like I'm out at the bar, throwing back the drinks, and picking up men. Nope...we all need our little luxuries in life. Mine is buying stamping stuff. I know you feel me on it. For now, I'm mostly just playing around. Because that is fun to do over coffee in the morning. But every now and again, a little something makes in onto a card. Here we have Papertrey Ink's Fancy That. I don't feel like I did this stamp set justice when it was first introduced. I'll remedy that here and in my next blog post. Those medallions are perfect for watercolors. I have it on the new Center Stage: Maculine Die cut out of the same water color paper and have that mounted on vellum. Quite lovely. And the sentiment? I need to send this to a sister or a friend. It's from It's a Banner Day. :) So, are you giving in?

I used some rainbow strips of paper, die cut "HAPPY" and against a black card, made a colorful birthday card... The strips are a tiny bit wider than 1/2"...just big enough to fit each letter(and the letters ARE a bit different in their width..notice the "P's" are a touch thinner). Layered the letters 4 times to make them really stand out. The sentiment is from PTI, the "happy" masked. Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa InLinkz.com

Hi there! It's anniversary time over at PTI, and I am trying to get caught up on some of their challenges. Today, I have a card to enter into their Sketch Recipe Challenge. The challenge was to choose a sketch and color palette and create something using both together. I chose this sketch: And this color palette: I pulled out my Doodlie-Do set (AGAIN!) and an old favorite, Dot Spot. I have not been able to stop using that Doodlie-Do set. I just love it to pieces!! I used the largest image from Dot Spot, stamped in Aqua Mist ink, then stamped, colored and fussy cut the flower and leaves. The sentiment is from Tremendous Treats Birthday and is stamped on a Double Ended Banner diecut. Then I added a hand drawn border and a sprinkling of sequins! That's all for now... thanks for stopping by! :) Supplies (all PTI unless noted): Stamps: Dot Spot, Doodlie Do, Tremendous Treats Birthday Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Aqua Mist Paper: SS White, Hawaiian Shores Dies: Double Ended Banner Other: Copic Markers, 0.5 black pen, Avery Elle Berry Blend Sequins
Hello and welcome to the first day of the June Papertrey Ink countdown! I couldn't wait to get creating with this month's products! Lots of great stuff coming your way again this month...it's going to be a fun 6 days...
Welcome to day 2 of the Papertrey Ink June release countdown! Thank you for your sweet comments on yesterday's post! Today the team is featuring the new Into the Blooms: Iris die collection; I'm in love! I was in need of two sympathy cards this week, so I chose to make two identical cards to send to the grieving families; I think the irises are a perfect choice for a sympathy card, but I can't wait to use them again in a more cheerful way! I colored the flower portions using Amethyst Allure and Royal Velvet ink. I colored the yellow portions with a yellow marker to make things easier. The greenery is colored using Green Parakeet and New Leaf ink. Since I already had the Woodblock Prints Stencil Collection out from my travel card yesterday, I thought I'd use one of the other designs for the background on these two mini-slimline cards. I didn't add any stenciling in the middle so it almost gives the illusion that the irises are glowing. I added some black ink splatter for dimension, glitter and sequins (which I don't usually use on sympathy cards) and the sentiment is from the Feathered Friends Mini 4 stamp set. My second for today uses the new Larger than Life: Hello stamp/die set; simple and easy to use! I started off stenciling an A2 panel of white cardstock using the Wild Blooms Stencil Collection using some bright, summery colors. I also used the Cover Plate: Quilted die to add the texture over the top. I die cut the Larger than Life: Hello twice from black cardstock and then glued them together. The remainder of the sentiment is stamped in black onto a strip of white cardstock and adhered using foam squares. I gave the entire panel a spritz of shimmer spray and mounted it onto a top-folding A2 Hawaiian Shores card base. A few sequins finish it off! Thanks for fluttering by!
Welcome to Transformation Tuesday! We all have cards that don’t necessarily turn out the way we had envisioned or a project that we designed to be feminine that could be made masculine with a few tweaks. Some of you may remember the Recipe Remix Challenge from SAF 2013. It’s sort of like that (bu
It's day two of reveals for the June release at Papertrey Ink. Today, we are introducing you to Into the Blooms: Iris dies + Larger Than Life: Hello stamps and dies. You will not want to miss all of the design team's creativity using these gorgeous new florals and sentiments! I first die cut all the floral pieces from Bristol Smooth Surface card stock then color blended them. I discovered the colors I picked matched well with the patterned papers from PTI's "Egg Hunt" 8x8" patterned paper. Score! The Amethyst Allure sentiment banner was white embossed and popped up with foam tape. TIPS: 1. Layer at least 2 sentiment and frame dies to add dimension and make it sturdier to handle. 2. Color blend your florals to add depth and a more realistic look. STAMPS: Larger Than Life: Hello Sentiments. INK: Lilac Grace, Amethyst Allure, Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise; Grassy Knoll, Olive. PAPER: White, Lemon Tart, Text-Style "Egg Hunt" 8x8" patterned paper. DIES: Into the Blooms: Iris, Skinny Frames: Diagonal Border, On the Border: Sunburst Border, Larger Than Life: Hello. This background gives you a sneak peek of the new hot foil plate that you'll see more of on the last day of reveals. The vertical scalloped die is from the Birthday Celebration die set and has a wee bit of a striped paper peeking out. The vertical embossed design is hard to see in the photo but is a detail I love. TIPS: 1. Break up the sentiments into small "blocks" for a different look. 2. Add a variety of textures with hot foiling, twine, dry embossing, etc. STAMPS: Larger Than Life: Hello Sentiments. INK: Brassy Knoll, Olive; Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise, Honey Nut. PAPER: White, True Black, Bristol Smooth Surface; Striped patterned paper. DIES: Into the Blooms: Iris, Larger Than Life: Hello, Birthday Celebration Bling. OTHER: Pleasing Pineapple hot foil plate, White matte foil, Black twine. SUPPLIES That's a wrap for day two! Come back tomorrow for more good things! ~Wanda

Hello everyone, and welcome to Annie who is a new follower this week. I've been busy working on the wedding scrapbook and have managed to complete several layouts but there is a long way to go and I haven't had much time to follow the on line course I signed up for called 'A Cut Above'. The first lessons are about using die cuts and have been very informative and I hope to be able to either make a new card for each lesson, or highlight a previously made card that uses the required technique because of time constraints. Lesson 1 was simply to use die cuts on a card and I made a Welcome Home card for some friends who have just returned from a 3 month cruise. They were very sensible to go away for our winter and have returned just in time for all the spring colour. I had missed them and thought it was appropriate to hang the flags out so I made a springlike card to reflect this I started by inking up a plain panel of card to make a background sky and grass, and then added a banner that I fussy cut and stamped with a sentiment before fixing it to a stamped cord. I die cut a birdhouse and some birds to sit on a garden gate and added a little foliage and and a couple of flowers. All materials were from Papertrey Ink. You may remember the bon voyage card I made for these friends when they set out on their cruise, using die cuts from my Silhouette Cameo. Day 2 of the course was to use a die to make a window card and here is one I made a little while ago that fits the bill I hope to catch up with the course, especially when it gets on to using the Silhouette cutter because I need lots of instruction to get to grips with that! Thanks for stopping by. Hugs Carol x
Hello and welcome to the second Papertrey Ink group post! All of the products you are seeing today will be available at the Papertrey Ink online store at 10:00pm EST on January 15th. Oh we have some beautiful things in store for you today! We are introducing Betsy's final Petite Places: Home & Garden. It is so cute and I had so much fun playing with it! I'm sad that this is the last in the Petite Places line, but I love everything Betsy makes, so I'm sure I will love what all she has in store for 2016! For my first project I created this cute little spring scene in a tuna can! Can you believe it? I've had this in the back of my mind for some time and of course I picked the one time I was really short on time to do it! I made this up and figured it out as I went along. I kept telling my daughter the whole time "if this doesn't work, I won't have time to do anything else". Thank goodness it did indeed work out like I planned! I covered the inside and the outside of the can with Aqua Mist card stock and then had to build the little platform for the house to sit on. It was pretty easy. I just cut a piece of card stock about 1 1/4 inches wide and folded the ends over. I then glued that to the inside of the can. I cut out a circle and stamped the leafy pattern on it. I cut about 1/3 of the circle off and that is what I glued over the piece inside. I then had a place to sit my house. In the very back I glued one of the background scenes from the Petite Places Patterned Paper Collection cut from a circle. I stamped the trees from the new Petite Places: Home & Garden set, cut them out and adhered them to the background with foam tape. I then glued my little house and fence in there. Here's a front view. I used the Shaker Shapes circle dies to go around it and cover up the rim. I glued several of them together so it would be nice and sturdy and wouldn't bend. I then glued the leaves and flowers onto the front. I glued some white ribbon around the whole thing and tied a bow at the top. Petite Places- Ornament STAMPS: Petite Places: Home & Garden, Turning A New Leaf, Twig Wreath DIES: Petite Places: Home & Garden, Turning A New Leaf, Twig Wreath, Shaker Shapes Circle PAPER: Stamper’s Select, Aqua Mist, Sweet Blush, Mint Julep INK: Aqua Mist, Mint Julep, Soft Stone, Sweet Blush, Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf, Kraft, Autumn Rose, Tropical Teal My last project is a card I made with the little shed from the Petite Places: Home & Garden dies. I just cut them out of card stock, no stamping. The trees are from the Petite Places: Pop Up Trees set and I cut them out of the new gorgeous Mint Julep card stock and Spring Moss. I inlaid the different pieces back into the centers. Thought that was kind of a fun idea! :) The sentiment is from the new Bitty Butterflies set and I stamped it on one of the new Outlined Dies. I cut it out again with the Aqua Mist for the outside frame. The curved piece along the bottom is cut out with the Sentiment Splits Curved Horizontal die from the Ombre Stripes paper collection. Petite Places Card STAMPS: Bitty Butterflies DIES: Petite Places: Home & Garden, Sentiment Splits: Curve Vertical, Petite Places: Pop Up Trees, Outlined PAPER: Stamper’s Select, Aqua Mist, Sweet Blush, Fine Linen, Spring Moss, Mint Julep, Ombre Stripes paper pack INK: Ripe Avacado That is all from me today. I'll be back tomorrow with some more fun things! Thank you so much for stopping by! Remember all of the new products will be available at Papertrey Ink on January 15, 10:00 PM EST!

Welcome to day 2 of the Papertrey Ink June release countdown! Thank you for your sweet comments on yesterday's post! Today the team is featuring the new Into the Blooms: Iris die collection; I'm in love! I was in need of two sympathy cards this week, so I chose to make two identical cards to send to the grieving families; I think the irises are a perfect choice for a sympathy card, but I can't wait to use them again in a more cheerful way! I colored the flower portions using Amethyst Allure and Royal Velvet ink. I colored the yellow portions with a yellow marker to make things easier. The greenery is colored using Green Parakeet and New Leaf ink. Since I already had the Woodblock Prints Stencil Collection out from my travel card yesterday, I thought I'd use one of the other designs for the background on these two mini-slimline cards. I didn't add any stenciling in the middle so it almost gives the illusion that the irises are glowing. I added some black ink splatter for dimension, glitter and sequins (which I don't usually use on sympathy cards) and the sentiment is from the Feathered Friends Mini 4 stamp set. My second for today uses the new Larger than Life: Hello stamp/die set; simple and easy to use! I started off stenciling an A2 panel of white cardstock using the Wild Blooms Stencil Collection using some bright, summery colors. I also used the Cover Plate: Quilted die to add the texture over the top. I die cut the Larger than Life: Hello twice from black cardstock and then glued them together. The remainder of the sentiment is stamped in black onto a strip of white cardstock and adhered using foam squares. I gave the entire panel a spritz of shimmer spray and mounted it onto a top-folding A2 Hawaiian Shores card base. A few sequins finish it off! Thanks for fluttering by!
