The @papertreyink September Release is available now! I love the idea of the Cup of Christmas Stamp Set and Dies. I stamped the cup in Pure Poppy Ink and added the accents with Scarlet Jewel Ink. To create the whip cream topping I embossed with a puffy white embossing powder and added a chunky glitter. More details and photos on my blog.

The new Build-A-Scarecrow Die Set is one of my favorites of the new release. I started by picking a plaid patterned paper for the shirt and built my color scheme around those colors. I die cut colored cardstock for each piece and the added detail with the ink blending. I used Copic Markers to color the face, a black gel pen to accent the mouth, added small black rhinestones for the eyes. I used the largest die in the new Love to Layer: A Little Loopy Die Set to die cut the background behind the scarecrow. More details and photos on my blog.

It is Day 1 of the #papertreyink August Release Countdown. My first card features the new Bewitching Bookcase Stamp Set and Dies. I love the details on the bookcase. I stamped in Versamark Ink on Classic Kraft Cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. Then I stamped and die cut a variety of items to fill the bookcase. More photos and details on my blog.

It is the Pick Your Pairing Release @tayloredexpressions On my first card I used three of the new products. The Just Because Coloring Stencil coordinates with the previously released Just Because Stamp Set and Dies. I am excited about the Mini Slim Arched Stacklets. I love the arch shape and am happy to have it for Mini Slim Cards. TE has also added butterflies to the Little Bit Collection. More photos and details on my blog.
