papertrey ink august...

This has been such a fun month of releases at Papertrey Ink.  I know it has lots to do with the glimpse into autumn that several of these sets bring.

My first card uses the new Mum's the Word stamp set and coordinating dies.  If you're a floral stamp set lover, this one will quickly become a favorite, as it has become one of mine.  It's just so easy to use, plain and simple, and I love Mums.  They remind me of my grandma.

This card uses the new Basket of Blessing stamp set and I just adore it.  I used watercolor cardstock and a water-coloring technique for this card, but can't wait to try it using some of my other favorite techniques.

The lovely fonts and sentiments in this set are just so unique and sweet.  Really, a wonderful set.

I used the Mum's the Word stamp set again on this sympathy card along with the new Boutique Borders:  Sympathy set with coordinating die.  

And, it seems I can't put down my Rustic Burlap Impression Plate.  LOOOOOVE!

Moving onto Halloween, this card was created using the new Polka Dot Parade #7 and Trick or Treat stamp sets with coordinating die.

Truly, who can resist that darling little ghost?  Not me, not me.

This card uses the new Wonderful Words - Thank You stamp set and I combined it with the Basket of Blessings, and Fall Elegance stamp sets.  

 

The Nuts for You stamp set is just too cute for words really.  I don't know what to say.  This set just makes me happy.  

I combined it with the new Autumn Pattern Pieces set, another set I can't seem to put down.

And lastly the new Bubble Talk stamp set was used to create a gift tag.  the Notched Star Banner dies were used and just trimmed down a bit to create a tag .  This is such a playful and trendy set.  Love it too.

That's it for me, but come back soon as I have more to share with you.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Where do you find the time to make such detailed and lush cards?! I'd be happy if I could make one as complex in a week or two.

I'm going to guess how you did the 'blessings' card. Looks like you stamped the image in lightly stamped-off kraft ink (or is that the highly textured watercolor paper?). If that's the case, how did you use watercolors on the image without blurring the dye ink? The look is fabulous, but I can't figure out how you managed it.

Thanks again for sharing your awesome talent with us!

You always have such lovely projects - and they astound me every time. I'm not certain how you can envision it the way you do, but your combinations are so amazing. Love the tag with the fall elegance - you've re-inspired me to put that one on my list! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!
