Talk about exciting!!! I have two fun sets releasing this month with Papertrey Ink... as well as an Impression plate and a few dies!
Let's get right to it!
- A Little Argyle ($24) An easy and fantastic argyle building stamp set. It has so many mix and match possibilities because of it's interchangeable images... super versatility! I'm totally in love with this set and was literally dreaming of pattern and color combinations while I was waiting for it to arrive. (I've also become slightly addicted to it!) LOL!
- Chair-ished ($15) A fun and quirky chair centered stamp set. Featuring 9 images and 7 sentiments that are full of sweet comfort and feelings of friendship. Also a follow up set to On My Couch and On My Couch Additions. The images are to scale with both Couch sets and the sentiments from all three sets can work together... everything is interchangeable! You are going to LOVE it!
- Argyle Impression Plate ($16) is a fantastically simple Diamond Argyle pattern. Each side of the plate has the pattern oriented to fit vertical and horizontal cards!This impression plate literally goes with every style. Very cool!
- On My Couch Die set ($8) The perfect dies to fit the oh-so-popular Couch and Chair from On My Couch and Additions! Aren't you excited about these! You asked for them... and you got them!!! These are going to fly out the door!
Now onto the projects! Make sure to click on them to gets a bigger and more detailed view!
This first card uses a little bit of everything. (except the dies)
For the backgrounds...starting at the top layer...I stamped the Large dashed line argyle first in Raspberry Fizz onto Rustic White cardstock then filled in the spaces with the Largest diamond image in Sweet Blush. Next I trimmed a strip of Sweet Blush cardstock and stamped the Small solid line argyle in raspberry fizz and filled in with the medium diamond in sweet blush. The bottom strip is impressed with the argyle impression plate! (I have a much bigger sample of the impression plate to share tomorrow!)
Here is a close up to the Wingback chair in the set! It's such a fun image and holds so many paper piecing possibilities! I chose to color this one in with my Copic Markers. It took just a minute. Love it! I'm also really loving these new Zva Creative pearls.
This next card showcases the two images in the set that took FOREVER to illustrate. The (ever so requested) Dog and the Rocking chair! I don't have any dogs right now, but I had a few growing up. My gal pal, Joan, has a pup named Taylor Ann... This is my interpretation of her. She is a slender black lab. We had a German shorthaired pointer growing up and if I wanted this pup to resemble that I would just not ink up much of the tail. Fun huh! This could easily be many other breeds.
So let's talk a little about this argyle pattern. I used the large solid argyle image in a red color. then I stamped the large dashed image over it. Next I used the smallest diamond image to stamp in a light caramel color over the cross section of the dashed image. Lastly, I added a little heart in black over some of the cross sections in the red sections (the heart is from lOvE songs). Imaging being able to customize your argyle with additional images for holidays too!
If you look close at the dog... you will spy his little nose and even the curve of his mouth. It took me hours to perfect this babe! I sort of feel like a proud mama sharing it with you for the first time! Now, don't you just love how longingly the dog seems to be looking at the empty chair. Oh, and I forgot to mention the cute little chair rug. It's all in the details!
Christmas? Yep... I thought I would show you a Holiday gift bag and the Chair Die!
The bag is simply stamped with the large dashed lines in Ripe Avocado ink. The Large Solid argyle image is stamped on the Scarlet Jewel cardstock that has been die cut with the medium scallop die. The circle behind the chair image is stamped with the solid (In Scarlet Jewel) and dashed (in Ripe Avocado) images.
Did you ever imagine a chair being a holiday image? It works SO great here with the sentiment from Home for the Holidays!
I stitched a little knot in the middle of the pillow to coordinate it with the buttons. Oh... and isn't that Die to DIE for! heehee! I used the solid Images for the chair from On My Couch.... one of the sets that these dies coordinate with!
I'm so happy that I've finally gotten to share these products with you! These sets have been in the works for a very long time and it's so neat to be able to create with them! I can't wait to hear what you think of everything!
