More Papertrey Ink Release - Quoted: The Most and Cloche Quarters: Summer Fillers

Good morning, and welcome back to another day of inspiration (Day #2!), featuring the July 2017 Papertrey Ink release! Today I'll be sharing projects using two new July sets - Quoted: The Most and Cloche Quarters: Summer Fillers.

A pretty Stormy Seas, Sweet Blush and Fresh Snow Linen combination was a good starting point for this Quoted: The Most creation. With three perfect sentiments included (to fill in the swoosh-y little banner) this versatile stamp set can be all things for all occasions/all people...... friends, family, loved ones, etc.. And the petite flowers were the additional pink accent!

Oh my.....the orchids from Cloche Quarter: Summer Fillers are just the most beautiful little creations (thank you Betsy Veldman!).  I could while away hours just thinking of new color combinations and various arrangements. Here is an ombre-ish ode to orchids -  an array of pinks and a pretty aqua embossed background for the three petite frames. Oh, and lest we forget, this Summer Fillers set also has the most fabulous little sailboat and shell images too!

Many thanks for taking a peek today! Please be sure to pop on over to Nichole's blog where you'll find more JULY inspiration and fabulous projects from Betsy, Dawn, Heather, Melissa, Lizzie, Laurie, Keeway, Stephanie AND Wanda!

CAS(E) this Sketch #230

Hey there... happy Thursday! Welcome to CTS #230 and another fabulous Donna Mikasa-created sketch.  Please be sure to check out what the DT has come up with ... lots of beautiful color and some really lovely designs!
I may have gotten just a little pattern happy with this 'SUNNY' paper pack. LOTS of bright summer hues, a bit of black for contrast and a simple Altenew sentiment.
We  hope that you'll get busy and add to the always fabulous CAS(E) this Sketch gallery. Can't wait to see what you've created!
P.S. - A warm welcome to GD, Karen!!

Papertrey Ink Feature - Cover Up: Diamonds, Cover Up: Quatrefoil

Good morning and welcome to Day 1 of the JULY Paptertrey Ink countdown! I have the pleasure of introducing TWO brand new background stamps (designed by the lovely Dawn McVey) that I am sure you are going to love!  The Cover Up: Diamonds and Cover Up: Quatrefoil stamps measure approximately 3 5/8 x 5 1/4" and will help to create a beautiful card front, in addition to being amazingly versatile additions to your basic background stamping!
All of the new stamp sets and products that I am sharing today will be available to purchase on July 15th, 10 PM ET, at Papertrey Ink.

I am loving the Cover Up: Quatrefoil in this very simple white/gray combination, which plays well with the adorable bird(s), beautiful florals and all of the amazing sentiments/fonts from Give Love (designed by Heather Nichols)! 

Here's the Cover Up: Quatrefoil again.... this time on Kraft with gold embossing. I've also embossed the daisy-like flowers from Give Love in white, added a few bits of greenery AND the lovely, script-y 'congratulations' die (another new one for July!). 

And.... last but not least, a few tags using the fabulous new Cover Up: Diamonds, which has been embossed in white on a Smokey Shadow (Tag Sale #10). Also, sneaking in a peek at the new Stemmed Statements stamps and dies, designed by Nichole (pretty, pretty)!

Many thanks for allowing me to share with you today. Lots of loveliness from Heather, Betsy and Dawn too! 

Please take a peek at all of the fabulous new JULY Papertrey products comin' your way over on Nichole's blog! 

CAS(E) this Sketch #229

Here's an a-mazing sketch for CTS #229 (from the also a-mazing Hannalie!). Please be sure to check out what the DT has created... lots of beautiful color and some really lovely designs!
I've created a subtle gray background to show off the pretty pink blooms, the bright greens and the simple sentiment. There's a bit of Nuvo sparkle on those blooms too...... but a little difficult to capture!
We  hope that you'll get busy and add to the always fabulous CAS(E) this Sketch gallery. Can't wait to see what you've created!
P.S. - A warm welcome to GD, Hideko!

Modern + Marbled: Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of Papertrey Ink's introduction of Kimberly Crawford's Modern + Marbled Kit - a beautiful blend of soft colors, lovely dies and the perfect sentiments/fonts! Oh.... and the golden shimmer and shine is the icing on top for this marbled and classic look!

I've gilded the beautiful 'thank you' die and the Sweet Blush panel with the amazing Nuvo Gilding Flakes - which are so much fun to play with! And.....there may be a layer of gold on most everything on my crafting desk. Is that a bad thing?? Nope. I think not.

The single stamped image included in the kit, which creates the marbled look, was inked in Sweet Blush ink and randomly stamped to create this 4.5" square card and the matching, custom created envelope.  And the gold embossed fern image from the Courage & Kindness stamp set may just be the perfect compliment to the gold wax seals included in the Modern + Marbled Kit!

Many thanks for taking a peek today! Be sure to check out Nichole's blog for more inspiration (and more Modern + Marbled ideas from Keeway!).
