papertrey ink june...

Today I am sharing my Papertrey Ink projects for June.  This has been such a fun month with so many new, favorite stamp sets to add to my collection.  We'll begin with the following project, a layout about the Little Bean in my life who happens to be spending a few days away with her cousins.  I was missing her and decided to pull out an older photo of her and reminisce a bit.

I used so many of the new sets on this page including We Go Together, Happy Hexagons, Hello Sunshine, Think Big Favorites #17, and Heart-2-Heart #5.  

I'm crazy about the Hello Sunshine and Cover Plate:  Hexagons dies...they just make stamping and creating so much fun.

I used Freckled Fawn's Lace and Glitter Tape as well as Washi Tape.  

I ran the glitter tape through my die cut machine using the Eyelet Border die to create this fun little accent along the edge of my page....such a fun and easy technique.

This card also uses the We Go Together and Happy Hexagons stamp sets.  I love the sentiments and fonts in Dawn's new set.  

More glitter tape used here die cut with the Rickrack die, and a row of Happy Hexagons along the fold.

I trimmed apart the Lovely Layers die to create Vintage Cream felt leaves to accent the top of this sweet glassine bag and tag from Melissa Frances.  

This next card just makes me smile.  I LOVE the new Heart-2-Heart #5 set and coordinating die...it's just sweet and simple.  

I combined the banner image in this set with the Happy Hexagon set and Cover Plate:  Hexagons dies.  Across the top are Aqua Mist and a Lemon Tart button with Pure Poppy grosgrain along with more Freckled Fawn trim tape.

I couldn't wait to use the new Desktop File Center die as a tag and created one for this little treat bag.  I also used the Desktop File:  Inspiration, Think Big Favorites #17, and Happy Hexagons sets here using Sweet Blush, Spring Moss, and Classic Kraft as my color combination.  The shabby trim across the top is from Melissa Frances.

The Happy Hexagons and Cover Plate:  Hexagons remind me so much of honeycomb, so I knew from the beginning I wanted to create a little something along those lines.  I have a quilted table runner on my kitchen table in these colors and love the warmth it holds, so my color combo is based on that and uses Scarlet Jewel, Smokey Shadow, Ripe Avocado, and touches of mustard.

Two very special sets this release are the Military Stars and the Military Hero sets...I love everything they represent not to mention the wonderful images and distressed images and sentiments.

I also used the new Limitless Layers:  2.25" Squares die collection and my favorite technique, distressed chipboard.

I die cut a star from the center of a block of Vintage Cream felt using the Seeing Stars die and matted in against patterned paper from Authentique.  And, thank heavens for the Super Stars Border die...I love it and use it so often.

I think that's it for now!  All of the new products shown here are available for purchase as of the 15th of June, so have fun shopping and thanks so much for your visit.

Be sure to take a minute to visit the other designers.  They are brilliant and always inspire me, each and every one of them!
