Hey there! I'm here today sharing a few new soon-to-be released products from Papertrey Ink. This month is all about school, teachers, etc. and Papertrey Ink has so many fun new things to inspire your creativity.
My first project uses the new Shaker Shapes: Pencil dies to create a fun tag for the special teacher. I've attached it to a popcorn box filled with homemade cookies. This darling shaker die collection allows you two different sections or windows where you can choose to add shaker fixings :). I filled the eraser portion of my shaker pencil with pink sequins.
And then I filled the body of the shaker pencil with die cut letters, cut using the Smooth Alphabet die collection. The body of my shaker pencil was cut using the new Chicken Scratch Gingham Paper Collection.
I die cut the metal band for my shaker pencil using Luxe Metallic Silver Cardstock and embellished with die cut Bitty Button Stack flowers cut from Autumn Rose felt. I then stamped my sentiment using the new Keep it Simple: Teacher stamp set on a die cut Double Ended Banner die.
My card uses the sweet Shaker Shapes: Pencil die collection once again, this time mixing in sequins and die cut letters and numbers, stars, and even a couple of metal paper clips into the body of the pencil.
The Shaker Shapes: Pencil dies come with tiny little letter and numbers that you can die cut and include however you choose. And, I love the scribble die that creates some fun movement.
I once again used the Keep it Simple: Teacher stamp set across the bottom of my card. You'll notice a fun new product popping up here and there that will be introduced later, but it's got something to do with the fun lined paper you see here and on my next project :). More Chicken Scratch Gingham paper used on this card as well.
And at the top, I used a new Number Clips die...these are irresistible!
My last project uses the Shaker Shapes: Pencil die as a basic die instead of a shaker. I mixed in patterned paper and Sheer Basics Vellum to create my tiny pencil and love that you can use this die collection in so many different ways.
I combined the pencil with a die cut Moments Inked: Basic Pages die where I added stamping using the Apple Prints stamp set, a favorite of mine. I added a die cut Double Ended Banner across the front stamped with Keep it Simple: Teacher and attached it using another fun Number Clips die.
So much to love about this month's release. You can pop in and see what else Papertrey Ink has to share by following the links below. Thanks for stopping!

FUN, HAPPY projects, Melis! LOVE the pink sequins in the shaker eraser. The assortment of "stuff" you put in the shaker on the card looks so neat. As well, good to see the die used as is, on your bag. Great samples of various ways to use these new products. THANKS! :)
