dapper chap and MORE!..

Helloooo!  I'm back again today with more April release projects from Papertrey Ink.  I am having so much fun with this release!  I'm the first to admit that I struggle with masculine projects, but once I settle in and change mindsets a bit, I LOVE creating for the guys.  This next round of products is all about them :).  Lizzie Jones has designed the cutest gift card holder called the Shape Up Series:  Tuxedo with a coordinating stamp set and dies called Dapper Chap.

I had so much fun mixing and matching the patterns for my Shape Up Series:  Tuxedo...but just wait until  you see what the other designers have done.  It's been so fun getting a peek at their projects :).  The tiny shirt comes out of the jacket and vest, and this is where the gift card fits perfectly.  I have to say that the bitty buttons are probably my most favorite element to all of this :).  I used flowers from a new stamp and die set you'll be hearing more about tomorrow to create a little boutonniere for the jacket lapel.  The bow tie is from the Dapper Chap stamp set and die collection...too cute for words.

I created a coordination tag using the Scalloped Tags die that can be tucked down inside as well.  I used the new Dapper Chap stamp set for my sentiment and the Plaid Stencil Collection behind my sentiment to create a subtle pattern.  You'll love this stencil set...it's amazing!

On my next card I've used the new Words to Live By:  Work stamp set and dies along with the new Shape Shifters:  Square die, and the new Corner Adorners:  April stamp set.

I layered two Shape Shifters:  Square Dies, offsetting them from one another.  The bottom layer was stamped using Bitty Big Sweet Blush paper, with the top layer cut from white cardstock.  I used the Corner Adorner:  April in the upper and lower corners, stamping in Aqua Mist and Spring Moss.  I love the soft look this set lends.

I then created my sentiment from the Words to Live By:  Work stamp set and dies.  The flowers are from the new Botanical Bounty stamp set.  Such a fun card to create.

There's so much more to see on the Papertrey Ink blog and all of these new products will be available on April 15th, 10PM EST.

Thanks for visiting!

Your cards are just delightful, candy for the eyes! Love the colors, patterns, dimension, layouts, all the little details! You inspired me to purchase the scallop tags a bit ago, notice you use them frequently. Cheer

I love that you can create a fun and cheerful project from what would seem to be a more “serious” theme...at least I used to think so. I gasped when I saw the price of the new Shape Up Series: Tuxedo dies, but now, after seeing your project, Melissa, I don’t think I can get through Father’s Day this year without it! ;) You’ve created such a fun gift card holder! Consider my mind blown! :)
