Well hi there! Today's Papertrey Ink group post is unlike any other. We are introducing you to some of the most creative stamp sets and dies available...the kind that will make you want to get creating right this minute!:)
My first project uses the new Secret Agent stamps and dies. There are limitless possibilities available using this stamp set, but I wanted to create a Valentine of sorts for my little girl. I started with the Edgers #5 Die collection to create my file folder.
I then created a pocket to hold the spy glasses using the Stitched Tag die. The bottom layer of my pocket was die cut using paper from the Zappy Birthday paper pack, and the top layer was cut using vellum. The embossed and stamped label on the front of the pocket uses an image and die from Secret Agent and I just created tails for my label by folding washi tape back on itself and trimming the ends.
The sweet spy glasses were die cut using the new Secret Agent Glasses die....love these! The film inside the frames is a new product Papertrey Ink will be carrying. The color used here is Pure Poppy.
I embellished one corner of the glasses using the new Happy Notes dies along with the Be Happy dies.
Inside my mini file folder, I stamped a secret message that can only be decoded by using the spy glasses :). Truly the cutest, funnest, most playful concept.
I adore these products and was so inspired by them.
This next card uses the new Zappy Birthday stamp set and coordinating dies, including the Cover Plate: Comic Strip die.
I used glitter cardstock and more paper from the Zappy Birthday paper pack.
A quick, easy, and oh, so fun way to make the birthday boy feel like a super hero :)!
Thanks for visiting. Be sure to stop by and see what the other ladies have ready to share:
I love how you made the glasses project girly. The color combination used on the comic strip card are awesome!

I was wondering how you were going to pull this off. I knew you could and would, but since your style is so elegant chic feminine, you certainly did not disappoint with your glam glasses. I love them!
