The first Papertrey Ink group post for March is here! It's time to celebrate birthdays and Papertrey Ink has a wonderful line-up of new sets and products to help get the bash underway.
First up is the new Card Base-ics #1 and #2 dies which are so much fun! The dies provide a perfect spot to nestle in an invitation. I used the Parisian Lace Doily die, inserted it into the slots cut from the Card Base-ics die, cut a tag using the Tag Sale #6 die, and stamped it with the new By Invitation stamp set.
The center of the invitation uses an image from the new 2012 Birthday Tags set.
The doily creates a unique little pocket to hold the tag with all of the party details on it. You'll find that many of the Mat Stack dies fit perfectly into the slots as well. Lots of creative fun to be had.
Next up is a pocket card created using the new Edgers #5 Die Collection and embellished with another sweet image from the 2012 Birthday Tags set...such a sucker for gingham!
Another peek at the new Super Star Border Die...you're going to love it!
Inside the pocket card, a coordinating tag is kept, ready to be tied to a pretty package for someone special.
I was so inspired by Dawn McVey's use of the Movers & Shakers: Spiral Poppers Die seen HERE on this post, that I had to try one for myself...and was instantly hooked. These little flowers are so fun and easy to create. This was created using Vintage Cream Felt and the leaves were cut from burlap using the Sending You die.

Perfection, precious and priceless in pastels. I always love to look at your take on the new PTI releases and this is another post that took my breath away. My favorite cards are the two with that "banner-sentiment" and that amazing white flower!
