papertrey ink: april...

Today's post will wrap up my projects for Papertrey Ink's April Release.  All of the new products will be available April 15th, at 10PM EST, HERE at the Papertrey Ink store.

My first card uses the fun new Enclosed:  Apple stamp set and coordinating die.  I love creating apple, school, and teacher related cards.  Something about them that always makes me reflect on being a schoolgirl myself :). 

Across the bottom of my card I used the new Moments Inked:  Edges die and to accent, I used the stamp set from the Make it Market Mini Kit:  Wee Folk.

Inside I finished that card with a stamped sentiment from the Tucked In:  Thank You stamp set.  On this card and you'll notice on many others, I've used the fun Chicken Scratch Gingham Paper Collection...my new favorite love right now :).

The Petite Places:  School stamp set was used on this card.  I combined it with the older Spring Hills and On the Farm stamp sets.

Betsy has thought of all of the tiniest details in this set, such as the flag pole, picket fence, school bell, even a slide.

The beautiful new Floral Favorites set was used next....LOOOOVE!  

I always love 2-step stamping and this set is just gorgeous.  Love the sentiments too.  Very thoughtful.

Graceful Greetings is up next.  Such a great go-to set to have for lovely sentiments that are large enough to be the focal point.

And I'm crazy about the beautiful flowers that are available with this set too.

Lastly is the new Lunchbox Love stamp set, with the kind of sentiments I will enjoy using for my schoolgirl.

 

Super playful and very versatile, with sentiments for the ups and downs that our kiddos large and small may go through.

It's been such a fun month.  What will you be picking out for yourself?  Are you a floral lover and can't pass those sets by, or maybe you're all about the new dies....tough choices, for sure.

Enjoy your day!

Melissa

Hi Melissa.

Once again I am wishful thinking how to spend a day with you absorbing through every single pore how your mind works.
It will be exciting and enthralling and mesmerizing to see you in your element !!!!!!!!!
You took this release to new heights, I've died and gone to heaven, thank you girl!!!!!!!!!

Cariños,

Oh my goodness! Can't get enough of looking at these cards and all the many details you include on each of them. They are works of art - just gorgeous!

[Kris]

Your Never Lose Hope card is breathtaking! What scallop circle die did you use between the flowers and the new scenic scalloped tag base? Limitless Layers didn't quite fit right but I have the tag base from Tinsel & Tags so am not sure if that makes a difference.
