Introducing Love you to Pieces...

Are you ready for the cutest new stamps and dies?  OMG....Betsy is a genius!  These little guys are SO much fun.  I have lots of photos today so hang in there with me!

This first card is actually a little interactive toy all packaged up in the cutest envelope.  First off the Foldable Envelope Wrap.  I decorated the front with the new set called Love you to Pieces.  I die cut the clouds and the airplane and then stamped the airplane image.  I colored in the heart with a Copic.  

I added in the AWESOME from PTI's Headline die set in Enchanted Evening cardstock.

Here you can see the back of the wrap.  I stamped "to and from" using sentiments from the Love you to Pieces: Additions.  

The envelope wrap die is so fun because it cuts only those perforated lines that makes it fun to rip the envelope open.  On the inside I including a little sheet of instructions for the toy...

And the coaster die cut toy.  I stamped each image and then realized I wanted some more color.  To coordinate with the envelope wrap, I used a copic and colored the airplane parts....

And here it is assembled...

So cute right?  I love all the little details included to make this airplane so much fun!

I made a card using the same set...



I stamped the sentiment from Keep it Simple: Happy Valentines Day and then added in some little Typed Strips II, to add in Brody's name.  I love these little letters. The die and sets that coordinate are another genius product that provide so much versatility.



I can't wait to see what the rest of the DT girls have to share today.  There are fox dies too!  I will be hoping along with you today for sure!

Introducing Big Hugs...

Welcome to the first Group Post for the December PTI Release.  Today's stamp set and dies are SO adorable!  If you know me....you know I am a hugger.  So this Big Hugs set just makes me smile!  I have a couple of different cards to share today and I hope you like them!

This first one is a CAS card using a stamp and a die.



I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto the Soft Stone card base.  Next, I cut the die out of Stampers Select White after using a blending tool and some Berry Sorbet ink to make a little ombre effect.  I attached the die cut on the card with some foam tape for dimension.  

This next card uses just stamps.  I stamped the big "hugs" in Versamark and then heat embossing with gold embossing powder....

Next I stamped "sending" in black ink.  I added in a white panel with black striped stamped to cover most of the cardstock.  I left a little white showing at the top and then added in a little strip of gold card stock to finish it off.  

Lots of possibilities with this new set!  Check out the biggest "hugs" die in the full set when you see it!  SO cute!!  OK all the dies are cute but the big one is my favorite.  It has a little flower detail in each letter and is just so pretty.

The rest of the DT have cards for you to see too....

Monthly Moments: December

Hey there!  I am a little late today but I have a card to share for today's PTI Release Countdown.  Today we are all showcasing the new Monthly Moments supplies.  I have a quick and simple card using this fabulous December paper pack.



I found the sentiment card and then saw the striped piece....I do love me some stripes!  I knew they would look fun together.  So I clothes pined them together, added a twine bow and popped it up on foam tape.  Easy peasy!  These little paper packs are so much fun and this December set is a must have!  

Stop by and see what the other girls have for today....

SFYTT...

Have you seen this month's sketch for you to try over at Reverse Confetti?  It makes for a fun, CAS card....




I used Roundabout and stamped the back of the "thx" image in different colors and then stamped the "thx" in the pattern from the sketch.  To add in the horizontal lines, I scored 2 lines across the middle.  I took a little freedom of sketch and left out one detail, but I love how CAS it turned out.  To make lots of these and have them on hand would be super easy!  

I hope you can play along too!  Here its this month's sketch....



Thanks so much for coming by today!  Have a great day!

Papertrey Ink Countdown-Day 1

Is it your favorite time of the month?  The countdown begins!  I have a super cute die to share today...Phrase Play #11.  I love this die series and today's die is such a fun addition.  

For this card, I cut out the die in Stampers Select White cardstock and also in the Soft Stone Polka Dot patterned paper.  I used the negative of the polka paper and attached it to a Soft Stone card base.  Then I inlaid the white Hooray die cut inside.  I stamped "it's your big day" in gray ink and then added in another "hip hip" in Berry Sorbet paper by stapling it onto the side.    I added in a black star and finished if off with some Glossy Accents.  

For this next card, I cut the die cut apart, using the frame and the "hooray".  I stamped the sentiment in gray ink an then added in a rattle from Rattled Mini Stamp set.

On this last card, I used Ombre Builders in the background and then cut the phrase play die out of a white adhesive sheet....basically making a big sticker.  I laid that onto the stamped background and then added in a sentiment in black.

I wanted another touch of black so I cut another "hip hip" out of True Black paper and popped that up on foam tape.  I pooped out the star to you could see the Pure Poppy Ink peeking through.  

So that is it for Day 1.  I can't wait to see what the other girls have for today.  Stop by Nichole's blog to see a list of links for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
