Holiday Style


Hello, and welcome to the third group post for the October Papertrey Ink release! The products I am going to show you today are fabulous!! I had a ball creating fun tags and cards with these!! These new products will be available on October 15th at 10:00 EST at Papertrey Ink!


My first project is this group of adorable tags created with the Folded Tags die, Wet Paint Holiday Tags stamps and dies, and Star Scribbles stamps and dies. I love love the fact that this tag folds over, so you can put your to and from on the inside! I added the little bit of patterned paper to the inside as well, and just love how it shows at the bottom! 



I stamped a line of the stars from the Star Scribbles stamp set along the top of the tag and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I did the same with the star, cut it out with the matching die, and adhered it with foam tape. The Christmas Cheer is from the Wet Paint Holiday Tags set. I stamped it with Pure Poppy ink, cut it out with the matching die and adhered with foam tape as well. 



You can see here how I glued the little strip of patterned paper, from the new Vintage Jadeite + White Basics paper collection across the bottom, and stamped the to and from in Pure Poppy ink.

This fun card was created with several of the new products! I first watercolored the background with some Peerless watercolors on watercolor paper. I let that dry well, then stamped the joy from the Wet Paint Holiday Tags and embossed it with white embossing powder. I then stamped a separate Joy and embossed this one with gold embossing powder. I cut the gold one out with the matching die and adhered it over the white one. I stamped the star scribbles circle and embossed it with gold again, cut it out and adhered it with foam tape around the joy. 


The berries and stem of berries were stamped in Pure Poppy ink from the Spruce & Sprigs set, cut out with the matching dies, and adhered with foam tape. I added one last gold embossed star to the left side :)

Now I just adore this card! This is such a "Kay" card :) I was bound and determined I was going to use that little snowman on something else! He was just too cute! So for this one, I glued a strip of one of the beautiful patterned papers from the Holiday Plaid Paper pack down the side. The circle of stars is again embossed with gold embossing powder and adhered flat to the card. I stamped and cut out three stars from the Snowflake Sparkle stamp set. One I glued down flat and the other two I adhered to the Folded tag with foam tape.


 For the tag, I stamped the sentiment along the bottom, and cut the top off before adhering it with foam tape. And then that little snowman guy.... isn't he just perfect perched up there like he owns the card? :) I love him! I cut him out of the printed paper that comes in the Holiday Pin-Ups kit, then I used the die and cut three more with just white card stock and layered them all together before glueing him to the tag.  I swear, I tried to use that snowman on every card. I would slap him down in the middle and then give it the eye... I couldn't get him to work until this one! And now he has a home and it's perfect! It's the little things that make me happy :)

  6. Oh boy that JOY card is amazing - looks like the world behind the wreath. I don't understand the step where you said you white embossed Joy then put the gold embossed Joy over it. Why did you emboss the white one? This card is fabulous and I sure want to understand what you did. Also, does the Joy die cut right on the edge so there is no white showing around the stamp? Or did you just emboss over the whole thing? It is so pretty! Did I mention I loved the card?
