Good Friday morning to you! Today I get to introduce you to Papertrey Ink's new Phrase Play #9 stamp and die set. This is such a fun pairing of products to help you create winter and holiday cards galore! The possibilities are truly endless.
My first card uses the stamp and die set very simply. I just die cut a few extra and coordinating snowflakes, layered them over my die cut Phrase Play #9, and added a few Fancy Flourishes using Aqua Mist ink.
Next I die cut contrasting silvers for the remainder of my sentiment, one that sparkles, and one that is more mat finish, and that was about it. The Phrase Play series creates details in just minutes with so many different combinations...love them.
This card uses the snowflake die down the side in coordinating colors.
The "Winter" die cut banner pops a bit with the use of dimensional adhesive. So layer it up or keep it simple, you'll be inspired to have fun experimenting with these products, I'm sure.
This card uses the "Winter" banner die from Phrase Play #9 along with the stamp set, but I've combined them with the new Painted Poinsettias stamp set and the new Holiday Double-Cuts....oh, how I love them!
I combined these products to create a grouping for my sentiment and then let the lovely stamped poinsettias play a large part in this card.
Lastly, a very simple card to finish up with. I stamped the Aqua Mist base with watermark ink and the Peace Be Still stamp set and then embossed the images using white powder.
More layered Phrase Play #9 snowflakes, a doubled up banner, and that was it. So, if you like to make cards in a hurry and in multiples, keep this stamp and die collection in mind. You'll love it.
Thanks for visiting!
