Hello! Welcome to Day 1 of Papertrey Ink's December release. The products this month are going to make you swoon! My first card today uses the new Text & Texture: Bokeh stamp set in the background. I LOVE stamping with this set...it really sparks my creativity and I love how the images turn out each time.
I stamped my Bokeh on Lemon Tart cardstock using Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, and a bit of Summer Sunrise ink. I then used the Noted Pinked A2 Vertical Die Collection to cut my Bokeh for my white cardstock base. My sentiment across the center of my heart and across the bottom is from the new Words to Live By: Happiness stamp set.
I used the new Nesting Basics: Circles to create my focal point...the heart is also from a new die collection you'll hear more about soon. My florals come from the Fantasy Floral: Christmas stamp set. These bright, fresh colors are a nice change from holiday colors :).
On my next card, I used the new Penned Elegance II stamp set and the new Delicate Dies die collection.
I snipped my Delicate Dies in half after die cutting them from white cardstock. I then attached them behind a double layer of die cut hearts cut from Bitty Big Aqua and Lemon Tart felt.
I love the Penned Elegance series and this second addition is just as beautiful as the first. I stamped my sentiment in Pale Peony ink after die cutting it. In the background, I used the new Text & Texture: Bokeh stamp set again, this time using single images from the set, stamping in Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, and Sweet Blush. The new Shape Shifters: Oval 4 dies were used for my background as well.
Thanks for visiting! I'll have more throughout the week.
