Papertrey Ink February Release Countdown Day 3

I can't believe we're already halfway through the February release countdown! It's been so fun to cozy up and create with this fabulous new release! I've created a few cards for my stash with themes I haven't had in the past, so that's always fun, too! 

My first card for today showcases the new Reflections: Hebrews 11 Stamp/Die set. I always enjoy adding flowers to these types of cards and this one is no exception. I had prepared this background in hopes of using it on my Wrapped in Love card that I shared yesterday, but it was too busy for the card and it was just waiting to be used. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity, so it does have the same color combo as yesterday's card.

I used the Ornamental Swirl Hot Foil Plate with blush foil on an A2 panel of Berry Sorbet cardstock. I trimmed it down to measure 5 1/4 inches by 4 inches and added it to a top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue.

I stamped and die cut the verse using the Reflections: Hebrews 11 stamp in black ink. The mat pieces are cut using the Reflections: Hebrews 11 Die and I cut the smaller one from Sweet Blush with Pale Peony ink shading and the other one is Berry Sorbet with the same ink shading. I used foam squares on each of the layers and added it to the background.

The flower/leaf pieces are all cut from white cardstock with the exception of the centers; those are cut from gold. I used the Into the Blooms: Anemones Die which is a favorite of mine. I colored everything with dye ink and then assembled the blooms using liquid glue and foam squares. I had fun arranging them around the verse. The "berries" are gems and I also added some gems to the centers of the flowers as well. I did this the first time I used these flowers and every time since! ha ha! I also added some glitter for some additional sparkle and shine. I love this verse and this card will be useful for so many different occasions!

My second card for today features the new Floral Confections Stamp/Die set.  I paired it with a few other new things that have been showcased over the last few days!

This is a cute new set with a coordinating stencil collection so you can add designs to the cupcake liners; I chose to use the striped stencil.

I used the new Love to Layer: Lacey Ovals Die and the new Filigree Frame Hot Foil Plate to add extra detail, sparkle, and shine. 

There are a few different options for the  floral "frosting" included in the set. I chose to use one of the floral clusters and the leaf topper. I also added some other leaves included in the set. There are some floral clusters included in the set for even more versatility; I stamped some out, but didn't use them in the end.

I added some pearls to the flowers on the cupcake and around the foiled design. I also added a glittery bow to the cupcake. I had originally put the bow together to possibly use on one of my cards on day 1, but I didn't end up using it. I love how it gives this cupcake another level of feminine charm! I also thought this sentiment was the perfect choice to complement the floral cupcake!

Join me tomorrow for the 4th and final day of the countdown; I have quite a bit to share using a really cute new die set and then another card using a few things that have already been featured! Thanks for fluttering by!!
