may release review

It's release day at Papertrey Ink! Set and gallery reveals happen today, stop by and chat in the forum, and then all of the new stamp sets and products for the May release will be available to purchase at 10PM ET!

I have a few more cards to share with you for this month...

Here's a fun beachy card with the new Flipping Out set by Melissa.

I used the Background Basics: Farm & Barn wood background so it looks like the flip flops are sitting on a deck or dock.

I love this little telephone from Heart-2-Heart #4 by Melissa. I stamped a row of phones with Classic Kraft onto the kraft cardstock and then put together a little die cut phone from Smokey Shadow cardstock.

I made the phone cord with a bit of black embroidery floss. To curl it, I dampened the floss and then wound it around a toothpick to dry. I probably could have left the floss a bit longer to get a tighter coil for the phone cord.

And finally, a wedding card with Maile's Happy Hydrangea set. The hydrangeas are stamped with Vintage Cream ink on kraft cardstock. I added a pretty lace edge with the Edgers #2 die.

So elegant, but rustic at the same time.

Visit Nichole's blog to link up to all of the design team members and see the rest of their release projects. All of the supply lists for these projects, and for all of the May release projects by the design team, are in the Papertrey Ink gallery.

Thank you SO MUCH for a great May release countdown. Happy stamping & scrapbooking!
