Flowers Abloom

Hi Creative Friends,

Now in our shop, we have new and beautiful Penny Black floral stamps (and other goodies) so naturally, I had to get my hands inky and create. I chose the Abloom stamp set that features four charming and different flowers.

Below are all the ins and outs of how this card came to be. But before I launch into the instructions, don’t forget you can still save 13% today on all Papertrey Ink goodies, including the very latest release! – sale ends tonight at midnight PDT (June 28).

Butterfly Bouquet

Hi Creative Friends,

We are having a fabulous time experimenting with the new BetterPress Letterpress system by Spellbinders. We continue to be impressed (no pun intended) with the crisp, deep detail you can get from this simple device! It is simply luxurious and special!

There are so many awesome press plates available already! We used the Butterfly Bouquet and Floral View press plates and black ink, then jumped into watercoloring for this project.

A Bit of Paradise

Hi Creative Friends,

Summer is coming and Dana Kirby is here today sharing an awesome card design that is chocked full of summery tropical leaves. She used the new A Bit of Paradise turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th to create the fun and colorful background. Then finished it off with a few cutouts and cheery sentiments using the matching die set.

Take a look below at how she made it! Then, be sure to pop over to her blog to see more of her wonderful creations.

Daisies In Bloom

Hi Creative Friends,

I have had daisies on the brain lately. They are so cheery and now that summer is on its way, it is a good time to enjoy this delightful flower. To create my little patch of daisies I used a few terrific die sets from Papertrey Ink. They are the Into The Blooms and Into The Blooms II. These two sets are what started it all with Papertrey Ink’s awesome Into The Blooms series.

Before I get started, I want to remind you that if you are aching for a particular stamp or dies, or any other craft supply, don’t miss out on the savings. Our Spring sale ends tonight at midnight so grab your favorites! By the way, all the info and coupon code is below.
