Papertrey Ink March Release Countdown Day 3

Welcome back for day 3 of the Papertrey Ink March release countdown! I have quite a bit to share with you today, and up first is the gorgeous new addition in the Reflections series! I know I say it every time, but I love creating with these scripture verses and having spiritually uplifting cards on hand!

I warned you yesterday that I am obsessed with the  new Stems & Blooms stencils and this card features another background created with the collection! I chose cool tones for this card with white embossing for a refreshing feel! This card also features the beautiful new Simply Birds Die that I can't seem to get enough of!

I've used all of the Reflections: 1 Corinthians 6 Dies; both sizes of mats and the outline die as well. I also snuck a few leaves from a set that will be showcased tomorrow for added variation and visual interest.

I've been having fun with these 5" by 7" inch cards, but the rest of the cards I'm sharing today are A2 sized!

To begin, I cut all of the pieces that I needed for the focal image from white cardstock. I colored everything with dye inks and blender brushes and then glued everything together with liquid glue and foam squares.

I built the scene on the middle sized mat included in the Love to Layer: Playful Scallops Die. For the background, I used the new Framed in Florals Hot Foil Plate with gold foil on Lovely Lady cardstock. I ran out of champagne foil so this is a little bit more yellow than I was hoing for, but it brings out the yellow of the flower centers. I cut it using the Rounded Rectangles: Stitched Die; I can't remember if I mentioned it in yesterday's rooster post, but it's the perfect size for this plate!

I created a frame for the focal panel to next inside by cutting the middle size oval included in the In Frames: ovals Die. I cut it from Hibiscus Burst cardstock and then rubbed the edge of the Fresh Snow ink pad over the outer edge. I secured it to the background using foam squares and then added the focal oval using a double-thickness of foam squares to lift it higher.

I really liked the cottage-like feeling of this card, so I used this sign die included in the Hold That Thought Die for the sentiment. 

The sentiment is from the Thankful For Fall Sentiments Mini Stamp Set and is stamped in black. I adhered it to the frame using foam squares.

I added glitter on the raspberry for sugary sweetness and touches here and there for additional sparkle and shine! I layered the entire background onto a top-folding A2 card base using foam squares.

My next card features the other two teapots, but this time without windows and doors! As I mentioned earlier, this set can be used in all kinds of different ways, with or without the window and doors.

I'm obsessed with the raspberry die that is included in the set and used it more prominently on this card. Isn't the macron just the cutest? I can't wait to try using them stacked up for a birthday card or something!

Once again, all of the pieces are cut from white cardstock and then colored using dye inks and blender brushes. I layered them onto the largest size oval included in the Love to Layer: Scalloped Ovals Die using foam squares and liquid glue. I added some ink splatter using a brown marker and a color-spritzing tool.

I wanted a sentiment fitting for the theme, of course, and decided on one of my favorites included in the Feathered Friends Mini 3 Stamp Set. I stamped it and cut it using the Hold That Thought Die.

For the background, I used the Cover Plate: Cross Stitched Die cut from Hibiscus Burst cardstock and mounted on a white top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue.

I snuck in a few of the leaves that are included in a set being showcased tomorrow, so stay tuned! They look like raspberry leaves so I couldn't resist adding them in! A sprinkling of glitter and sequins finish off this card!

My final card uses the set with two teapots stacked for maximum charm! haha! There is a tiny ladder included in the set, but I didn't use it, even though this is a double-decker stack of pots!

I haven't quite figured out why the sentiment looks blurry in the photos, because it definitely isn't in real life! It is from the Home is Where the Heart Is Mini Stamp Set and is heat embossed with detail white powder.

I added some white paint splatter, glitter, and foiling for added detail!

This concludes my post for day 3, but make sure to join me again tomorrow for another big post! It's the 4th and final day and then everything will be available for purchase beginning tomorrow! Thanks for fluttering by!
