papertrey ink february...

Well hey!  I'm back once again with more Papertrey Ink projects to share, each using new release products.  Let's jump right in with the new Phrase Play #1 stamp set and coordinating die.  

I can't say enough about this darling new duo....it's just creative and instantly sweet.  

I also used the new Leave it Be stamp set and coordinating dies.  Another must have.

I used the new Birthday Classics:  February stamp set on this card and then carried the sentiment on into the inside using the new Keep it Simple:  Birthday stamp set.

You can see the new Button Stack dies at work here as well....in love with those!

Next up are two new sets, the Monthly Moments:  Day by Day Blocks and A Little Inspiration.

I love the little windows left behind after die cutting, and instead of popping in the calendar dates, I added stamping from the set, patterned paper, or washi tape behind each window.  More Button Stack dies used here as well.

And, the sentiments in the A Little Inspiration set are just so sweet and unique.  I need to remember this simple phrase, so I chose to use it on this card.

Lastly is the new Limitless Layers Labels stamp set, designed to coordinate with the Limitless Layers die collections.

Instead of placing my sentiment inside the label, I used it as a focal point for embellishments instead and added my sentiment at the top.

Lots of fun new sets, huh?  It's hard to pick a favorite.  I enjoyed each and every one this month.  

And, before I go....a very exciting new addition to the Papertrey Ink line-up of products.  Betsy Veldman is creating kits and lucky me, I get to design with them.  Here's a peek of what I created with her first kit, Make It Market:  Luxe Letterpress.  It's gorgeous and unlike anything I have ever, ever, ever created with before.  Stay tuned for more information and projects, but until then you can visit Nichole's blog for a few more details.
