Happy New Year! Welcome to the Papertrey Ink Sr. Design Team challenge. We have been asked to revisit the All Booked Up stamp set and create a bookmark, packaging, and card ensemble for you.
We'll start with the card which uses the Background Basics: Inspiration stamp set in conjunction with a sentiment and image from the All Booked Up stamp set.
The background is stamped in Classic Kraft, Sweet Blush, Smokey Shadow, and Spring Moss. I used the Heart Border die across the card separating each color and created a focal point using Sweet Blush cardstock and the Tag Sale #1 die. I used the Flower Fusion #3, Beautiful Blooms II #3, and Sending You dies along with Simply Chartreuse and Vintage Cream felt and a bit of Simply Chartreuse Bitty Dot paper.
I packaged up the bookmark in a White Gift Enclosure stamped using the Distressed Stripes, Classic Kraft, Smokey Shadow, Sweet Blush, and Simply Chartreuse ink. I wrapped it up with Sweet Blush Grosgrain and embellished the center of the bow using a tag stamped with a sentiment from the All Booked Up stamp set die cut using the Tiny Tags die.
The bookmark uses the Limitless Layers 2 1/2" Circles die collection, Classic Kraft, and Vintage Cream felt. I carried over the same floral embellishments as on the card but used a bit of patterned paper this time. A bit of Smokey Shadow and Sweet Blush Grosgrain finished off the bookmark and leaves it ready and waiting to be put to use.
I loved putting together this fun ensemble. My little girl is an enormous bookwork and so I had her in mind while creating this.
The other Sr. Team members have projects waiting for you as well:
And, before I go, I wanted to share with you a beautiful new eBook written by my friend, Danielle Flanders. This book is amazing and so much fun because it's packed full of her brilliant work and inspiring ideas. I love it...will be turning to it and enjoying it over and over again. I am lucky enough to be able to give one of these eBooks away, all you have to do is leave a comment here on this post and I'll randomly select a winner and announce it on January 5th!
Happy New Year and thank you for stopping by!
