lovely layers and framed out #5...

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to day 3 of Papertrey Ink's countdown to the June releases.  I'm excited to be sharing a couple of the new sets with you including Lovely Layers and Framed Out #5.

This first card uses the new Lovely Layers stamp set.  What a fun and easy set to work with.  It's naturally and very simply just beautiful on its own, but with the coordinating Lovely Layers dies, you can have even more fun with this set.

The bottom layer is stamped in Pure Poppy with Classic Kraft added next to bring in more detail.  I then stamped a die cut layer with Aqua Mist ink.  The next layer of flowers were die cut using the coordinating dies, Harvest Yellow, Aqua Mist, and Melon Berry felt, with die cut leaves cut from Simple Chartreuse felt. The center flowers were die cut once again and stamped in Sweet Blush and Hibiscus Burst ink.  The sentiments included in this set are darling...I love the font used and you can see one of them used here stamped in Pure Poppy on a Tiny Tag cut from Sweet Blush cardstock.  

On this card, I layered directly onto the cardstock base as well as layering die cuts and stamping onto the Limitless Layers 2.25" Square die...also a new release.

The base of the square was cut from Simply Chartreuse cardstock with a Vintage Cream layer cut for the top layer.  The bottom layer of leaves were stamped in Spring Moss ink and topped with Simple Chartreuse.  Summer Sunrise was stamped onto the die cut second layer, Berry Sorbet on the base of the next flower and topped with Raspberry Fizz...love the two-step stamping technique available with this set as it really adds depth and life to each image.  The center flower was die cut and stamped in Summer Sunrise and Hibiscus Burst.

The beautiful base image was stamped in Berry Sorbet with a smaller flower layered on top next stamped in Raspberry Fizz.

For this simple card I started with a Sweet Blush base and stamped the first layer in Sweet Blush ink.  The second layer in Simply Chartreuse, Plum Pudding was used next, and topped with a layer stamped in Spring Moss and Simply Chartreuse.  

I then die cut a layer from Simply Chartreuse felt, folded the leaves together, and tucked them behind the center flower. 

This crazy little number uses the Lovely Layers as well as the Framed Out #5 set together.  The tag is stamped in Simply Chartreuse with the center label image stamped in Orange Zest.  Then comes a Raspberry Fizz flower...love me some Raspberry Fizz, can  you tell?  

I'm crazy about Heather's choice of fonts for her sentiments, they are so much fun.

I used glitter tape from Freckled Fawn and ran it through my die cut machine using the Heart Border die...oh my!  This stuff is fun...you need some.

Next up is a little journal jar using the Framed Out #5 set as a label for the jar.  The coordinating die really makes such a fun and unique label.  

Classic Kraft and Aqua Mist are used here with a Harvest Gold button used as an accent.

The lid of the jar is covered in more fun Washi Tape from Freckled Fawn and topped with a Tim Holtz knob.  Aqua Mist satin ribbon was used around the jar and one of Melissa Frances' new flowers from her trim was used to embellish this jar as well.

And lastly, I put the Framed Out #5 die to work and stamped the inner label image directly onto the cardstock using Berry Sorbet ink.  

 

The arrow was stamped in Summer Sunrise with the sentiment stamped in Aqua Mist.  I used the new Background Basics:  Rainbow stamp along the right edge of the card and it is stamped in Sweet Blush and Aqua Mist.  

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Melis
