Papertrey Ink July Release Countdown Day 4

It's seems like the countdown has just whizzed by, doesn't it? I can't believe we're on the final day! I have two cards to share with you today that I'm really excited about! Both of these cards were a joy to create and I think you're really going to love the products that are being showcased today!

Up first is this autumnal harvest card that features the new Cornered: Wispy Tree dies! I ended up not snipping the dies apart and used them together on both sides of the Dark Indigo panel. I die cut it first using the Love to Layer: Notched Die from both Dark Indigo and Kraft cardstock. I used the Cornered: Wispy Tree dies ( still wired together) on the top and bottom of the panel and then glued the blue one on top of the Kraft panel.

At this point, I fitzed and fussed over what to do and then I remembered the extra Country Handbasket Die I had made when it was first released! I knew it would be the perfect thing to accent the die cut panel AND to hold some of the flowers and foliage from the new Spruce and Sprigs: Fall that was showcased on day 1. 

Believe it or not, there is a small oval from the Love to Layer: Oval die collection underneath the basket! I really thought the edges might show, but I got a little carried away filling the basket with all of the cute stamped images!

I heat embossed one of the sentiments from the new Inside Greetings: You're on my Mind stamp set. I really wanted to use this particular sentiment from the set as opposed to some of the other smaller sentiments so I chose to use vellum so that the die cut tree could show through. I layered the entire panel onto an A2 Honey Nut card base using foam squares.

Now for something a little bit brighter and summery! This card features the smaller of the two new stencils included in the Dotted Hexagon Stencil collection. I was inspired by a bathroom design that features hexagon tiles, a basket of Eucalyptus, and a floral shower curtain using these hues.

I think I mentioned on day 2 when we showcased the new Eucalyptus Elegance stamp set that I envisioned the branches with the Effortless Beauties stamp set; I was right....a match made in heaven! I have to admit that Effortless Beauties is my favorite floral stamp set from PTI right now!

I stenciled the background panel using black ink; I set it aside and die cut and stamped ALL  of the flowers and foliage. I die cut the medium size oval and stamped yet another sentiment from the new Just Sentiments: You're on my Mind stamp set in the middle. I adhered it to the stenciled panel using foam squares.

I arranged the leaves and flowers here and there using foam squares and liquid glue. Once I was happy with the arrangement, I added the "a loving hello" portion of the sentiment, which is included in the Effortless Beauties set, and glued it strategically between the flower and the leaf.

I added a trio of sequins and a generous amount of glitter before adhering it to a Soft Stone card base using foam squares. 

This concludes the countdown and everything will be available for purchase tomorrow at 10 PM ET! Thanks for fluttering by!
