Papertrey Ink July Release Countdown

This month has flown by, but here we are at day one of the Papertrey Ink July release countdown! Up first is a super cute new set called Window Garden; it's chock full of sweet flowers, pots, and a birdhouse to tuck here and there to create a fun scene! 

As you can see, I made two cards; there are two different shutter options, so I wanted to try both of them out! This particular card also uses the new Garden Blessings stamp set, but it won't be showcased until Sunday. I will have LOTS of fun projects to share using that stamp set, but here is a little sneak peek!

There are a few different sentiments that you can add to the window box, but I chose to use the "welcome" sentiment for both of my cards today!

I used the stencils that came in the June Surprise Box and I just love them! I also used the Brick Wall Stencil Collection for one card and the Pool Water Stencil Collection for the other. I think the pool water stencil looks quite a bit like stone, so it works well for these types of cards, too!

You can see the pool water stenciling a little bit better in this photo.

I was thinking how cute this window scene would be all decked out for Halloween. I don't know if there will be any additions, but my mind can totally see it!

My next card is CAS using the new Paw Prints stamp/die set. One of my friends in the neighborhood just welcomed 14 new Great Dane puppies into her family! While this dog looks NOTHING like a Great Dane, she is still getting this card! LOL!

That being said, this particular stamp set is very versatile so you can make all kinds of different dog breeds depending on the outline shape, the tail, and the ears!

This particular set is also geared towards the loss of a pet, so it is very versatile.

There are some heart images, a bone, which you can see on the left hand side of the photo (I desperately wanted to use it on my card, but with the CAS design, I just couldn't make it work! ha ha!

That wraps it up for today, but stop by tomorrow for day 2 (birthday and the new Psalm Reflections) of the July release! Thanks for fluttering by!
