Papertrey Ink - August 2021 Release

I am so thrilled to be guesting for Papertrey Ink's August 2021 release! They are the first crafting brand that I bought online when I started exploring beyond Stampin' Up many years ago and I have been hoarding (sorry, collecting their stamps) ever since.

One of the things that Papertrey does so well is to make beautiful, intricate, scene-building dies. So my very first project with their new seasonal release for Fall/Winter is a Christmas card using their Scene Everywhere Winter Stamp Set.

I am not the most delicate person in the craft room, so I sometimes worry that small, delicate designs will suffer in my hands, but somehow Papertrey Ink's stamps work magic even in my clumsy hands. The small pieces layer beautifully and you can build your scene with ink or by using the matching die-cuts.

I resisted a traditional color palette and went for shades of blue, violet, green and grey. Choose a dark shade and a light shade of each color if you want to try this out.

This card is much quicker than you think!
