Morning! Welcome to Day 1 of the November Release from Papertrey Ink. My first card today uses one of my new favorite stamp sets, the Floral Fantasy: Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies.
I love the dancing reindeer in this set and had to use it! I stamped it on metallic gold cardstock using watermark ink and then heat embossed it using white embossing powder. I then die cut it and added stamped and die cut florals around its neck. I stamped in Autumn Rose, Scarlet Jewel, Simply Chartreuse, Prairie Grass, Berry Sorbet, and Honey Nut.
I used the new Nesting Basics: Rectangles and Nesting Frames: Pierced Rectangles to create a place for my deer take center stage. In the background, I used the Winter Window stamp set to create my falling snow, stamping it in Classic Kraft. I added my sentiments form the Floral Fantasy: Christmas stamp set, stamping in Scarlet Jewel. I added photo corners, cut using a die from the Make it Market Kit: Fairy Tale Christmas, and a vellum snowflake, cut using the Snowfall Style II die. I added Bitty Big Simply Chartreuse in the background to bring in color and pattern.
I am truly smitten with this next stamp set...Enchanted Forest. It is so sweet and completely enjoyable to play with. The trees were just begging me to to be stamped in pink and aqua and I love how they look.
I stamped in Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Pale Peony, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, and Mint Julep. I created a tag with them using the new Shape Shifters: Circle 4 die, which was cut with a white layer attached over a metallic gold layer. Can you tell that gold cardstock is my latest color crush?
I stamped my sentiment from the Enchanted Forest set on a die cut Scalloped Tag and adhered it along with vellum Snowfall Style II snowflakes to to the top of my tag and finished with sequins and some gold bling.
All of these new products will be available to purchase on November 15th, 10PM EST at Papertrey Ink.
Thanks for visiting!
