Papertrey Ink Build An Angel Card
The countdown has begun! The Papertrey Ink October Release will be available on the 29th at 12pm ET and it's spectacular as always. There was one stand out product this month that I absolutely could not wait to use - the Build An Angel die set. This unique set includes dies to make a large and a medium size angel. The large measures 4.5 inches tall and the medium measures 3.75 inches tall. Both sizes have three different wing options.
For today's card sample, I have used the large size and as you can see, it filled my A2 size card nicely.
To start, I wanted to create a pretty background for the angel. I started with a panel of Mint Julep card stock. I inked up the panel with Pinefeather. I applied the Pinefeather ink heavy in the middle and lighter going outwards. Next I added tons of splatter with three different mediums. First I used plain water. This resulted in the larger droplet splatter. Then I used thinned white paint. And last I added more splatters with metallic gold water color.
Next I die cut and assembled the angel. I die cut the angel body from white card stock and lightly sprayed it with the new Antique Linen Distress Spitz. This color gives the white card stock a lovely gold toned shimmer. It's difficult to see in the photo, but in person it's so pretty!
I die cut the halo from gold metallic card stock and the wings are gold vellum layered onto white.
The sentiment plus little foliage sprigs and berries come from a new stamp set this month. It's called The Bigs Christmas Sentiments and as the name implies, the set is full of large sized holiday greetings. This set includes lots of little sprigs and the berries for embellishment. There are also coordinating dies to cut them all out which I love! I stamped the "peace and joy" using Pinefeather. Using the coordinating die, I was able to die cut the stamped greeting and then die cut a shadow layer in gold.
*Links will be added to the new products once the release is live on the 29th.

Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Wreath Builder Card
Hello friends! I'm sharing a card created with some new products from Pretty Pink Posh. I have always loved to create little paper wreaths to add to cards so I was excited to see the Holiday Wreath Builder die set from Pretty Pink Posh. This set has all the basic components to make a wreath. The possibilities are endless! For the card I'm sharing today, I made a very full pine wreath.
I kept this card design on the simple side because the wreath really is the star here. I started with a white A6 card base. I created the background panel with the Cascading Snowflakes Stencil. I used a white opaque paste with the stencil. I moved the stencil around applying the paste only in select areas to get the random snowflake pattern. I then splattered the panel with thinned white paint.
To complete the wreath, I added sentiment strip ribbons coming down from the bow. I used the Upright Greetings Christmas set to stamp the Joyful Wishes. I then adhered the wreath to the background with thin foam tape. To finish off the design, I added several Sparkling Clear Sequins scattered all around the background.
Sunny Studio Merry Mocha Season's Greetings
Hello everyone! I have another holiday card to share, made with products from Sunny Studio. This one features the adorable little mugs from the Merry Mocha stamp set. I've repeated the image three times sitting atop a fun peppermint stripe border.
- Merry Mocha stamp set and coordinating dies - for mug images
- Big Bunny stamp set and coordinating dies - for Season's Greetings
- All is Bright paper pad - for peppermint stripe paper
- Snowflake Circle Frame die - for the die cut snowflakes
To give the background some interest, I added the snowflakes. I die cut the snowflakes from white card stock and them lightly sprayed with some Barn Door Distress Spritz. This gives them a faint red tint and sparkle.
