Grab your favorite beverage and get all comfy, because I have a lot to share today! I always love the Release In Review post! I get to share all of the fun things I've made with the amazing new Papertrey Ink products! 

So first up is my card created with the new Bold & Beautiful Sentiments by Betsy Veldman. I love these! That font is so pretty! I paired my sentiment up with the Spring Woods stamp set, which I adore!

I did a little sponging with some Aqua Mist ink for the background and added a strip of Green Parakeet striped paper along the bottom.

I did a little something different with this card. As I was cutting stuff out getting it ready to stamp on, I kept looking at it laying there, and thought it looked so pretty, just the die cuts, so I skipped the stamping altogether!. Now the stamps in this set are gorgeous, so I plan on using them soon, but I really loved the way this looked. I sponged a little bit of ink on each of the die cuts, leaving them pretty light, then assembled my little jar of flowers.

I used a strip of paper from the Ombre Stripes paper pack and the sentiment is from the Bold & Beautiful Sentiments set. I added a few Marshmallow PPP sequins to finish it up.

I just love Betsy's Paper Clippings line! The Thank you so much is the newest one in the series and it's so pretty! For my card, I watercolored a piece of watercolor paper with Peerless watercolors, kind of half way paying attention to the die so that my words would each have a different color that blended into each other. After it dried very well,  I cut it out. 

I glued this down to my card base and then stamped some of the extra flowers leaves and the little birds to decorate around it. I added some tiny dots with my Copic markers and a few PPP sequins. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom with Royal Velvet ink.

STAMPS: Paper Clippings: Thank You

INKS: Green Parakeet, Lovely Lady, Spring Rain, Allure Amethyst, Summer Sunrise, Royal Velvet

My next card features Betsy's new Inspired: Faith stamp set and dies. I thought the butterflies from the Color Pop Mini kit worked so perfectly! My background is watercolored, smooshed, and splattered. I did a little bit of everything on there :) Then I cut out three of the faith word dies and glued them down. I stamped the sentiment underneath and added the butterflies with foam tape.

Next up is my card with Maile's new Splits: Get Well Soon stamp set along with Erin's Cover Plate: Delightful. I stamped the Get Well Soon sentiment and image and watercolored those first. I just couldn't wait to watercolor that stormy sky underneath! I then mounted this onto my card base and added the pieces of the Delightful Frame. The outside part is cut out of Soft Stone and the inside piece is Stamper's Select White card stock.

INKS: Waterproof Black 

PAPER: Stamper’s Select White and Watercolor Paper

And then there are these darling little school kids from Betsy's Paper Doll series! Aren't they cute in their school uniforms? I colored them with Copic markers and adhered them to a card base covered with one of the papers from the Petite Places paper pack. Was that perfect or what?? 

I love this card, but I have no idea what I'll do with it, since I homeschool our two kids. I might save it for my niece. She's finishing up her internship right now to become a teacher in the fall. Surely she'll need thanking at some point :)

Do you just love Maile's new Succulents set?? Oh I do! Succulents are so trendy right now, but I don't think I've seen a stamp set that I love as much as this one! They have such an artsy graphic look to them and I just love this set! The fonts are really unique and fun too! I had to add a few flowers from Paper Clippings: Thank you set. It's hard for me not to do flowers.... I used a strip of the paper from the Super Succulents paper pack along the bottom, and then a piece of the frame from Erin's Cover Plate: Delightful cut out of Soft Stone card stock on top of that.

STAMPS: Super Succulents, Paper Clippings: Thank You

And then there is Father's Day.... and I couldn't make Lizzie's cute hamburger fit with the new Father's Day die, so what to do.... I started searching through my PTI stash and saw the Winter Woods set! I thought that would be perfect to go with the new Shaped Sayings: Father's Day die! I think it turned out quite lovely for a masculine card.  The background is Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feather's Distress ink blended onto watercolor paper and splattered with water. The die cut has been layered three times for dimension and the bird and greenery were adhered with foam tape.

STAMPS: Winter Woods

DIES: Winter Woods, Shaped Sayings: Father’s Day
