Papertrey Ink September Release Countdown - Day 3

It's day 3 of the countdown and today I once again have three cards to share. I'm telling you, this release is so good, I just found myself wanting to make extra! The new Love to Layer Ornament die set is one of my favorites! I made two cards featuring the large ornament that you can create with this set.  

This is an A2 sized card and as you can see the ornament is large! The set includes the main ornament base and topper plus layers to decorate. Because this ornament is so big, it could easily stand alone and be used as a tag or an actual ornament on the tree.  

There's also a new Into the Blooms set called Christmas Sprigs.  This set is perfect when you want to add little berries or sprigs of greenery like I've done at the top of the ornament.  I die cut from white card stock and used Distress Oxide inks to color - Rustic Wilderness, Evergreen Bough, & Crushed Olive. 

For the background I used a stencil from last year, Spectacular Snowflakes, and some Nuvo Sea Sprite Glacier Paste. 

For this next card, I used one of the Christmas Sprigs dies to create a little wreath on the ornament.  

I love the size of this ornament! It allows for so many different ways to decorate and add embellishments. I adhered three layers of the ornament base together to make it very sturdy then added to the card with a low tack adhesive. This way the recipient can easily remove the ornament and hang on their tree. 

I've embellished the wreath with candy canes from the Ornament Cloche stamp set. I also added little red pearls and a twine bow.  The background was made with the Watercolor Plaid stencils.  

Finally for today here's this month Psalm Reflections.  There's also a coordinating die that creates a delicate frame for the Psalm.  I die cut mine from silver glitter card stock. 

I again used some of the Christmas Sprigs dies to embellish the frame. The berry sprig die from the set is one layer so I used Copic Markers to color the stem brown and the berries red.  I also used Copics to add some light shading onto the large white berries.  

The background you see peeking out was made with the ever popular Exquisite Cover Plate die. I use this one a lot when I need something decorative but not too distracting.
