more fillable frames #4 and beautiful blooms patterned paper
May 12, 2010
Hey everyone! Welcome to day 4 of the Papertrey Ink May release countdown! Today I have some cards to share that feature my new Fillable Frames #4 set and die cut as well as my new patterned paper called Beautiful Blooms. All of the new stamps and products that I am sharing today will be available to purchase on May 15th at Papertrey Ink.
Nichole introduced the Beautiful Blooms paper a few days ago and I know that you also seen many peeks of bits and pieces of the papers on design team members projects during the countdown. The 8" x 8" Beautiful Blooms patterned paper will retail for $8.00 and there is 6 sheets of each design included in the pad.
One of the things I love about this collection is how much it reminds me of choosing fabrics for a quilt and the color palette has a bit of a vintage feel to it from pairing the Pure Poppy with Hawaiian Shores. I played a bit with piecing the papers onto the card fronts and love the quilty look that was the result.
For the card focal points, I layered the Linen Vellum cardstock over a patterned paper. Using the die cut makes lining things up a snap. I attached the 2 layers together with brads - you could use a spray adhesive or a Xyron machine to layer the 2 pieces without adhesive visibly showing.
I used the sentiments from Fillable Frames #1 and embossed the sentiments and frames with white embossing powder. Love the finished look!
Today, Nichole and Mish are showcasing the Year of Flowers: Lily of the Valley and Inside & Out: Thank You sets. Lisa, Beth, Dawn, Alli, and Melissa will have more sneak peeks on their blogs too!
One more day of sneak peeks tomorrow - see you then!
