Papertrey Ink February Release Countdown Day 2

Welcome back for day 2 of the Papertrey Ink February release countdown! I have two more cards to share with you today and up first is a fun and playful card using the new Build-an-Emoji Die! This die is packed with all of the pieces you would need to create so many of our favorite emojis, including the heart eyes emoji, which is a personal favorite!

This set pairs perfectly with the new This is Big Sentiments: Happy Everything that was featured yesterday!

To begin this card, I created the emoji first. The circle is cut from Lemon Tart cardstock and then I added some Harvest Gold ink around the edges for depth. The mouth is cut from Smokey Shadow with True Black ink on the corners. The tongue is cut from Berry Sorbet with Pure Poppy shading. I cut the eyes from Pure Poppy with Scarlet Jewel shading, Glossy Accents and glitter over the top for that dramatic effect!

The background was created with the From the Heart Hot Foil Plate and red foil on a panel of Pure Poppy cardstock. I cut it down to measure 5 by 3 3/4 inches and added some Scarlet Jewel shading around the edges.

The sentiment was stamped in Pure Poppy and Scarlet Jewel for an ombre effect with white embossing on Smokey Shadow cardstock for the other portions.

I layered it onto an A2 panel of Pure Poppy cardstock using foam squares and then added the entire panel to a top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue.

Switching gears to something more traditional; this card features the new Wrapped in Love stamp set. 

This set includes three gifts, a ribbon, and a bow with three different coordinating sentiments to work with the "wrapped" theme.

I always love a pink and green color combo, but I switched it up a bit with Berry Sorbet, Mint Julep, and Vintage Jadeite, and a touch of SU! Garden Green ink for something a little bit different for me.

The bow reminds me of old-fashioned ribbon candy and I was wishing to be back in my Grandma's home at Christmastime! 

For the background, I used the new Filigree Frame Hot Foil Plate that was featured yesterday on an A2 panel of Berry Sorbet cardstock. I was thrilled to see how nicely the largest die included in the Love to Layer: Garnished Edges Die nested inside the foiling. It was also the perfect backdrop for the stack of presents.

Each of the three sentiments also has a coordinating die so it's easy to add the sentiments on your design. I chose to place this larger sentiment in the middle and then surrounded it with some die cut flowers.

I added some white goache splatter and gems for additional detail and dimension. I forgot to mention that the background was also die cut using the Nesting Basics: Pierced Rectangles Die as well. Thanks for fluttering by!
