Ink to Paper / Papertrey Ink / What Do I Do With This

I am up over at Ink to Paper / Papertrey Ink with 'What Do I Do With This' feature this week.  

The Cover Plate: Birthday Die is such a fabulous die to use as a cover for an ink blended background!!  The possibilities of colors for a background for a BIRTHDAY are endless!  A bonus?  Your background doesn't have to be perfect......the cover die covers the imperfections!  This combination uses Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  The ink just glides and blends so well on this paper!  Over this panel, Shimmer Spray was added.  A separate panel was also ink blended with the same colors and the cover plate was die cut from this.  The sentiment from inside of the die was hand trimmed from the frame and stars and added over the white Cover Plate: Birthday Die.  As finishing touches, rainstones were added across the card.  What is fun about clear rainstones is that they take on the colors of the cardstock behind them but also add dimension and shine!  

Supplies

Dies:  Cover Plate: Birthday Die
Ink:  Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Inks
Accents:  Rainstones, Shimmer Spray

Ink to Paper / Papertrey Ink / The Great Cover Up

I am up over on the Ink to Paper / Papertrey Ink blog with 'The Great Cover Up' challenge this week.  There is a $25 gift certificate available to one random participant!

I thought it would be fun to get back to my roots with direct stamping to paper using pigment inks specifically Distress Oxide inks from Ranger.  I often forget that these inks are amazing to stamp solid images.  The Sidewalk Chalk Flowers from Ink to Paper are so fun!

Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) / What do I do with this?

There is a new challenge over at Ink to Paper/Papertrey Ink called What do I do with this?

We were challenged to use some WOW! Embossing Powders that are now available in the shop!

Adding accents with embossing powder is such a great way to add texture.  Here on the bloom from Lush Bloom, the "third" layer would normally be a darker color of ink but here I've added Versamark,  the Sunburst WOW! Embossing Powder, and heat embossing.  This gives this third layer some shine and texture!  

I've added my bloom to the largest doily from Delicate Doilies Die set with foam adhesive.  The doily was added to a white notecard that was scored to have a raised border around the perimeter. To finish, the sentiment was added to fit in below the bloom along with some sparkling gems.

Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) / What do I do with this?

There is a new feature over at Ink to Paper (Papertrey Ink) called "What do I do with this?"  Ink to Paper recently started carrying WOW! Embossing Powders in the shop.

I had some fun experimenting with how to use this colorful embossing powder called Sunburst.  So I pulled out Cake Please because it has this amazing layering image that I thought would be perfect for this embossing powder!  I also embossed the centers of the sparkler images.

The cake stand and 'happy birthay' were heat embossed with WOW! Metallic Silver Ultra High Embossing Powder.  Love how this embossing powder gives a full raised look!  The cake was added to background that was impressed with the Border Bling: Dainty Deliveries Frame Die.  The cake was embellished with some florals from Cake Please and some clear droplets.

Ink to Paper / From My Heart

Hello!

Did you catch the latest Ink to Paper release?  

There's a fabulous new large sentiment die!!!

♥ Never Too Far Die ♥

****SHOP for all your Ink to Paper HERE****

I created this simple card using this large sentiment that is perfect for a focal point on a CAS card.  I layered it over a panel of vellum that was layered over the Brushed Plaid Stamp Set stamped in red ink.  I added a red die cut frame using Skinny Heart Frames Die.

Ink to Paper / XO

Did you catch the latest Ink to Paper release?  

There is a fabulous new set that coordinates with a new favor box die.

♥ Wreath Favor Box Sentiments ♥

****SHOP for all your Ink to Paper HERE****

To start, I created my own polka dot pattern on the blue card stock.  Using a random circle stamp from an older Papertrey Ink set, I stamped the circle over and over using Versamark ink.

After creating for the holidays for months, I wanted to use some fresh colors!  So I went with blues and yellows for the blooms on the florals.  I added the florals to a wreath stamped in grey ink.  I love the neutral look.  To keep this simple, I added a die cut sentiment using the XO Heart Frames Die.

Ink to Paper / So much love

Did you all catch the latest Ink to Paper release?  It's all about LOVE and I'm in LOVE!

There are so many great sets centered around love but the set I'm featuring can be used all year round.

♥ Branches of Love ♥

****SHOP for all your Ink to Paper HERE****

I started by die cutting the Border Bling: Believe in white cardstock.  The center of this has a pierced detail and I like to highlight this by masking this section off and ink blending.  This serves as a perfect place to center your focal point and sentiment.

All the pieces of the Branches of Love were stamped and die cut.  It was fun to arrange this and I decided on a landscape oriented card.  The sentiment was selectively stamped to fit in the space around my vase and branches.  Aren't those danging hearts so fun?  The details you see on them happen when you die cut them!  I added some glitter to half of the small hearts for fun!

This year has brought on so many emotions and feelings of when will this end.  So it seems fitting to share this first card with you that I made for the December Ink to Paper release.  

This features the Life Me Up stamp set and coordinating dies.  A simple and adorable set.  I created some soothing pink clouds for my images.  The images were Copic colored, die cut, and added to the note card with foam adhesive.  Here's the sentiment that brings my feeling of this year into light........

"sometimes life seems upside down".

The background was made using the Border Bling: Believe Dies done in white cutting out the center with a rectangel die and layering some pattern paper behind the opening.  

I layered my stamped lantern onto the cut out area with foam adhesive,  I love the dimension the lantern has!  

This bouquet of florals could literally be stamped in any color but I went for more of a fall/holiday palette.  

The bouquet was added with foam adhesive and some white gems for some shine.

Brighter Days is a must have set for sending out a quick and simple card to cheer someone up.  I've paired the floral from this set wtih the new beautiful Ornate Cover Plate.  I did a white on white background to really make my floral stand out.  After stamping, I added Copic details to the leaves and flowers.  To finish, I added the sentiment panel and my floral with foam adhesive.  

Ink to Paper / Feathered Friends Series

Ink to Paper has a great series of bird stamps called Feathered Friends Mini.  The past release was the 4th in the series.

I created a simple sympathy card using this set along with the branches from Tree Essentials.  I added some berries and colored them with a shimmer pen.  The branches were adhered to a Broken China Distress Ink blended panel and the bird with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was tucked in below.  A strip of matching Distress Ink blended card stock was added down the left side.  The focus panel was trimmed on the left side and added with foam adhesive.   

 

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!
