Papertrey Ink July Release Countdown Day 3

Welcome back for day 3 of the Papertrey Ink July release countdown! My first card for today features the new Reflections: Phillipians 4 Stamp Set, Outline Die, and Reflections: Phillipians 4 Die. I've also paired it with the new Weathered Woodgrain Hot Foil Plate.

I used the highest heat setting on my foil machine and heat the Spring Rain panel for 30 or so seconds with champagne foil. I just love this background. The sentiment was die cut and stamped with rusty hinge and gathered twigs distress oxide ink for an ombre look. I like how it looks like it's glowing to a certain degree.

I layered it onto the largest die cut from the Reflections: Phillipians 4 Die. I really like having the outline Die as an option as well. I specifically asked if they could do that and I was thrilled to see it's being offered now! 

The flowers and foliage are from the Into the Blooms: Wild Wood Die and are cut from white cardstock and then colored with blender brushes and dye ink. I love this color combo so much you'll be seeing it again tomorrow! ha ha!

I arranged the flowers using both liquid glue and foam squares, gave it a good spritz of shimmer spray and then mounted it on a top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue. 

My next three cards features the  beautiful new stamp/die set called In Full Bloom; it is a whimsical style  that allows you to build your own clusters and bouquets using little elements.

To begin, I die cut all of the pieces from the In Full Bloom Die a few times and then stamped them with Enchanted Evening, Spring Rain, and Harvest Gold ink. 

I love both of the sentiments included in this set and I like that they have coordinating dies. 

I cut an A2 panel of white cardstock and then cut the decorative details with the Elegant Edges: In Full Bloom Die. I rounded the corners at the top with a punch. 

I created a top-folding A2  Spring Rain card base  and then added the shading around the edges using Enchanted Evening ink. The white panel is added over the top using foam squares. 

I used the Watercolor Wonderful Stencil Collection to create the color for the background. I added some ink splatter to give it even more depth and detail. Once that was done, I arranged the flowers and leaves using foam squares. I added adhesive pearls, sequins, and shimmer spray for additional detail!

My next card combines the In Full Bloom Stamp Set with the In the Meadow Stencil Collection. I kept the stenciling soft so the die cut flowers wouldn't compete, but rather complement and enhance the overall design. 

For the background, I used the Show Your Stripes Stencil Collection; I used it one way and then flipped it over and used it the opposite way to create the plaid look. You may have remembered  I used this same look on the flap of one of the envelopes on day 1, but it was fun to try it on a card as well. 

I used one of the scalloped edges included in the On the Edge: Scallops Collection and glued it to the edge of the stenciled panel.

The sentiment is the other option included in the set.

I added a few of the stamped details to the flower above the sentiment for added interest. 

I offset the stenciled panel a little bit on the plaid background for something different. I couldn't resist adding some pearl to these flowers as well and a trio of sparkling clear sequins and, you guessed it, shimmer spray! ha ha!

One last card using the new In Full Bloom stamp set; I think I mentioned I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to the red, white, and blue. I always love these colors for summer, so I made a non-patriotic card.

I had a bunch of extra die cuts from the previous two cards, so got to work stamping them in Pure Poppy and Spring Rain. The leaves are stamped in Enchanted Evening and are left over from the first card.

I die cut the background using the Cover Plate: Cross Stitched Die and added the Border Bling: Skinny Dotted Frame over the top with 1/8 inch ScorTape. I adhered that panel to a top-folding A2 Pure Poppy card base using foam squares. In the end, I realize it's hard to tell in the photos, but you can in real life!

I die cut one of the labels from the Just Tags Die from Spring Rain cardstock and then added the die cut sentiment over the top.

I arranged the flowers, leaves, and twirly elements using liquid glue and foam squares. A few pearls because I can't seem to stop and shimmer spray!

Thanks for fluttering by!

P.S. Join me again tomorrow for the 4th and final day of the countdown!
