Hello! It's another beautiful October day here and we're diving into Christmas once again at Papertrey Ink. My projects today use the lovely, new Blooming Amaryllis stamp set and coordinating dies.
I created a gift card holder for my first project. I began with Stamper's Select White Cardstock and the new Folded Pocket Tag Die. I added vellum behind the window and stamped my sentiment from the Blooming Amaryllis stamp set. It was heat embossed using white embossing powder and gives such an elegant look.
My flowers were stamped with Harvest Gold as the base layer, Classic Kraft next, and then I heat embossed and used gold shimmer embossing powder as my third layer, finishing with Saffron Spice for the very center. I wish you could see these lovely flowers in person....they have such a gorgeous sparkle to them. They are layered over snowflakes cut using the Snowfall 1 and 2 dies. I used the Pleasing Envelopes stamp set to embellish the corners of my gift card holder.
I used the potted amaryllis on my second card. I love the shabby pot included in the stamp set. My flowers were stamped with Autumn Rose for the base layer, followed by Raspberry Fizz, and ending with Scarlet Jewel. The centers are stamped in Stormy Sea.
The leaves were stamped in Prairie Grass with Pinefeather used for the detailing. And, the pot was stamped using Vintage Jadeite with Saffron Spice used for the weathering. My amaryllis was layered over a Bitty Big Pale Peony Pierced Feature Frame die cut that was layering over script patterned paper.
Once again I used images from the Pleasing Envelopes stamp set to embellish the corners, stamping gin Spring Moss, Prairie Grass, and Autumn Rose. Blooming Amaryllis is very versatile, with sentiments suitable for Christmas and every day occasions.
My last card uses the new Say it Simply: Merry & Bright die. It was cut from Pure Poppy cardstock and layered over a die cut Scallop Stackers: Medium die. I added color to my scallop base using Summer Sunrise and Mint Julep.
My amaryllis were stamped in Sweet Blush, Pure Poppy, Autumn Rose, and Scarlet Jewel. I added stamped and die cut images from the Corner Adorner: October and Sending Joy sets to create more fullness.
Lastly, I layered my scallops over a layer of Bitty Big Spring Moss to bring in a bit of pattern.
Truly, such a gorgeous stamp set and stunning die for the holidays!
All supplies will be available on October 15th, 10PM EST.
Enjoy your Saturday!

Happy Saturday! A little busy for you and the team, but I wanted you to know how much I (we) SO appreciate your hard work. Without your direction and inspiration, I'd be lost. Your post today is a perfect example of what I mean. Lots of different colors and attention to the special details. Your designs are vintage beauties! I just don't know how I'm going to choose, this has been such a great release! Thx again Melissa! :)
