Papertrey Ink August Countdown: Embellishments, day #2

Hello Sweet Bloggers!

Today I am sharing more fun projects utilizing my brand new Papertrey Ink stamp set.


  • "Embellishments" will release in just a few days on Aug. 15 on the Papertrey website.

  • "Embellishments" features 24 stamps! (1 border, 2 large flourishes, 7 small flourishes, 1 fleur-de-lise, 3 accent images, and 11 sentiments.)

  • You will LOVE the versatility of this set! It can be fancy or rustic, grungy or classy vintage. The images have a bold look yet can also had a subtle use to them as well. And the sentiments are perfect for countless projects! Whether creating gifts, cards, or scrapbook pages... this set will be your next "Go- To" stamp set!

>>> NOW for some fun projects!!!<<<


For months I have been wanting to stick my toes in the waters of the whole "shabby chic" style in the arts and decor world. And now that I have this stamp set, I can just dive right in!

>> AND, I am so excited to share an awesome resource to help you also accomplish this very popular style in your projects. Allow me to introduce you to "Digital Tuesday". As a graphic designer who loves to combine both digital graphics and conventional tools, this blog is like HEAVEN for me! You will find free images to download, color, and incorporate into your projects for personal use. AND so many of these images are absolutely darling! The had a gorgeous touch of vintage/retro magic that I can't get over! These images are a PERFECT complement to the Embellishments stamp set! Above you will see the see vintage portait called: "Cameo". Below are two little girls called: "Wee One 12" and "Wee One 13".

DETAILS, DETAILS!
>> Papertrey Saves the Day! How fabulous are all these colors? Spring Moss (my fav!) combined with New Leaf, and Raspberry Fizz. The ribbon is PTI Hibiscus Burst, and the PTI Fillable Frames #4 is cut in a standard pink from my scrap folder and trimmed out with the Raspberry Fizz cardstock.
>>I love that white fuzzy ribbon! Wanna know my secret? Check out the dollar ribbons at Michael's Craft stores and you are sure to find this awesome textured trimming in a variety of colors! Can't beat that!
>>The "Cameo" digital stamp from Digital Tuesday, with some light and airy coloring gave a precious womanly feel to the card.
>> A few nicely placed flourishes from the Embellishments stamp set, along with the sentiment gave such an elegant look. And don't miss the Cuttlebug action and nice touch with the PTI Raspberry Fizz rhinestones! Love those!

This next card all ready has such meaning! I made it last week for a new friend! My friend Jenny and her husband Wyatt are planning to adopt their first children in just about a month or so! This amazing couple could have children of their own, but feel called to the honor of adopting. They have been working for several years to get twin girls from China, and while that is still in the works, they are very close to now welcoming two little twin girls into their home all the way from Uganda! How awesome is that!?! Both the new parents and the little ladies will be soo incredibly blessed by the union of their new family!

DETAILS, DETAILS!
>>PTI colors include Spring Moss and New Leaf cardstocks coupled with Sweet Blush ribbon and Raspberry Fizz rhinestones.
>>The sentiment was one I used with the same fonts from the Embellishments stamp set. I printed it on the computer so I could make the card more personal for the occasion.
>>Bo Bunny's awesome double sided paper gave a trendy twist on the shabby chic look.
>> Notice the subtle use of the Embellishments stamp set. Below you can see that stamp swirls on the New Leaf green frame behind the digital image of the "wee ones" and I used the largest flourish to add some beauty to the bright pink background paper.
>>I think that LACE is a fabulous touch these days and really brings a lovely feel to any girly project!
>>Don't forget that the little ladies I colored on the Card are from Digital Tuesday and called "Wee One 12" and "Wee One 13".

  43. The first Flourishes set from PTI is my most used set and I begged Nichole for another. Embellishments is just what I wanted--with more filled in and "bushy" flourishes. With added details and sentiments I know I will wear out this set in no time! I suspect I will be using different parts of the set for every new card I make! Love the fonts too. This is a home run!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am loving the versatility of this set!!

    ReplyDelete

  48. Your cards are beautiful, but I can't do shabby chic or vintage well at all! So I'll be trying a modern twist with this set, and I'm sure it will be gorgeous. It's a beautiful set!

    ReplyDelete

  52. What a beautiful stamp set you've created. I can't wait to get my hands on one. How exciting to know that there is a companion die as well.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You really knocked the shabby chic theme out of the park! With such great tools you make it look easy. I'm in the same boat as I've itched to give this a try but haven't been brave enough yet. However, with the new PTI set coming out I might just take the plunge!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love your new set, Tiffany! It makes shabby chic look very possible for new stampers!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Absolutely beautiful. I love your example. My 2.5 year old daughter Fiona has always had a vintage nursery (turned vintage big-girl room). Her absolute favorite thing is her quilt (it is called Dresses, Dresses and I got it off Overstock.com). Even though it is toddler sized and she has a twin bed, she won't give it up. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because I would absolutely love to make a scrapbook for my little dollbaby. I love someone else's idea about the possibility of using the embellishments/stamp set with masculine colors. What's great about the embellishments/stamps is that they are so versatile. The very first thing I thought of when I saw your example is for me to make a card for my mother-in-law. She is going through a really hard time emotionally/personally and I want to show her how much I care. She has lost someone who is dear to her, who has been in her life since she was 16 years old. The person has not passed but they have gone from her life. I really appreciate your inspiration! My MIL taught me to sew and I like the idea of incorporating sewing notions on/in the card. Another great application for your embellishments/stamps set would be for my stepmom (my kids' Nana). Shabby-chic is her style, and she pulls it off well. I think she'd appreciate a card for Grandparents' Day in September. My beloved sister-in-law has a birthday in September as well. I just love all the cards you make and I hope I can start making my cards more beautiful.
