Chair-ished and A Little Argyle day 5

Ahhh... it's the final day for the April 2010 Papertrey Ink release countdown! WOW! It's been quite the ride hasn't it! What are you the most excited about this month??? I would be in so much trouble if I weren't on the team!

Make sure to head over to the Papertrey Ink release party to say "Hi!" and to chat about all the fun this month! (The party starts at 10pm EST /7pm PST on the 14th.)

I thought I would just re-post the details of the POPPYprints products that are being released this month through Papertrey Ink...

• Chair-ished- $15
• A Little Argyle- $24
• On My Couch Die Collection-$8
• Argyle Impression Plate- $16

Here are a few last things I've made using these products!

Yes, another Christmas project. (I'm seasonally confused because of publication calls! LOL!) I made the pattern using A Little Argyle though... so had to share.

 
 
 

I used the smallest Dashed line and Solid Argyle group images together then filled in using the smallest diamond image using Raspberry Fizz ink.

I love using colors that are unique for Christmas projects! This totally retro color combo is very hot right now. There is a total era vibe going on here... can you feel it? 80's! hee hee! I could have gone neon but I got sick of neon back in the 80's and cant make myself go there again. LOL!

Next I wanted to show a card I created using Pine's newest set, Have a Ball! (Brilliant additions set!) I paired it with her new Fillable Frames #3 Die and frame Image.

I also used A Little Argyle on the Kraft background.  (the black strip on the side uses the woodgrain impression plate then is inked with white.)  Total Boy card? Well guess what? This is for my Daughter who played BBALL this year! She's not girly and will love this too!

Did you notice how the Basket Ball fit's perfectly in the scallop portions of the Large Scallop Die? (Freakin' Beans huh!!!) Just think of all the possibilities for that! (yes, soccer ball fits too!)

  

Just think about how easy this would be to customize or mass produce for team cards or Coaches!

Here is the last card for today... a masculine retirement card.

 

My grandpa used to have a favorite chair. When he retired he worked hard every day still in his garden and on his property. I remember watching TV and Movies with him in the evening... and he was always in his chair! He deserved a good rest!  As far as what I used on this card. The woodgrain impression plate is Kraft cardstock that has been rubbed with Vintage Cream ink. LOVE this result! The lower Dark Chocolate strip is impressed using the Argyle Impression plate. I used the Wingback chair image from Chair-ished for the focal image.

A Little Argyle is used to create the Argyle Pattern.

  

I stamped the large Dashed Argyle image first, then filled in the desired spaces with the Medium Diamond image. 

  Notice the dots? I haven't shared that yet. Something fun to add even more versatility to the set. (There is also a single dot image.)

  

After I stamped the Argyle pattern I stamped the Text image over everything.

I hope you have enjoyed this month's countdown. It's been a wonderful week... and there are SO many amazing projects in the gallery that the Design Team has created. It's blowing my mind! Make sure to put your seat belts on before you check them out! It's amazing to me how both my sets have been used for everything from Shabby Chic to Modern, Clean and fresh! WOW!

Don't forget to make one last stop to Nichole, Heather, Becky and Dawn's blog for their final sneak peeks! AND... don't forget to visit our Distinguished Guest Designer...Ashley Newell's blog! Kim Hughes has some awesome sneak peeks of her Click Simple templates too!

I would LOVE to hear project of mine was was your favorite for this release... Please let me know in the comments section. Also, feel free to ask any questions and I will answer you directly in the same comments section!

Well the inspiration is just-a-flowing now!! I absolutely LOVE your first project - what an amazing colour combo, complete with some shine and bling! I can't believe the way the sports balls nest in the large scallop - that is SO cool ....and your last project looks drop dead wonderful too - perfectly manly. The rush to the checkout tomorrow evening should be preeeety interesting ;0)

Love the new Argyle set! When I first saw the sneak peek on Nichole's blog I thought "I am so not not interested in this set". Then the sneak peeks started...and I went shopping for my two little boys...and all of a sudden I saw Argyle EVERYWHERE! Totally cute! =) And each day I have been blown away by your samples. Love all the color combos you've presented. What a creative set! Now I am saying "I have to have this one!!".

If I had to pick a favorite project that you made this week it would have to be the adorable argyle clouds card, the fantastic set of three cards, and the GORGEOUS all white with the pop of color from the dahlia's card! I guess I couldn't pick just one! Can't wait to get the new argyle set!!

The argyle set is what has me most excited about this release! Every time I see someone use it, I want it more. Too bad shipping to Canada costs more than the set will :(

What a beautiful Christmas idea! Love the color combo. I am a teacher and yesterday a little girl at school wore argyle socks...all I could think about was that your awesome stamp set when I saw them! Thanks for sharing the ideas! Diane

[Diane Jaquay]

I already own an argyle set and wasn't sure if I was going to buy yours Lisa, but after seeing your set in action I have to say that it is designed SO much better than the one I own (which will make it so much easier to use, and that's important to me!), so it will definitely be going into my cart!! I'm totally LOVING all your samples today, great job!!

[Debbie Fisher]

15.

It is too hard to pick just one favorite! Of today's post, I love all the elements of stamping on the retirement card.

OK, Lisa. I just picked myself off the floor. Shhh, don't tell the others but you have become my favorite PTI designer. Not just your products, but your projects too. I absolutely adore each and every one of them. Your cards are the only ones that I will try at hand at recreating. Love them!! I've been an argyle fan since the preppy 80's. ;)

[Ellie Augustin]

These sets work together like nothing i've ever seen. I have to admit that I couldn't figure out , at first, when I would ever need a chair stamp or a sofa stamp..but you've changed my mind. I love them!

[Tiffany Heilman]

23.

love your projects! I will be staying up tonight to pick up the chair set...and the argyle set is definelty on the list, too. Love these sets you designed and can't wait for the full reveal!

Love the I Miss You card with the dog and rocking chair. Also love the design of the white card with the impressed argyle background and the Delightful Dahlia flowers. Beautiful! Great samples all week and wonderful new sets.

[Vicki B]

25.

I have several faves from this week your first card "Just a note" in the yellow and gray argyle, the Dahlia flower with the argyle background and the argyle clouds with the cute airplane! I think you truly showed the versatility of this set! Thank you for sharing and getting me inspired!

[Katie {choc0holic}]

26.

The first thing in my cart tonight will most definitely be A Little Argyle. I'd really like to get EVERYTHING, but I have to be realistic and narrow it down.

[Stacy]

27.

I MUST HAVE the Argyle set! I loved the cards from yesterday - the baptism card and the "sittin here next to you" - just wonderful!

[Melissa D.]

Amazing job, I'm just in total awe of all the PTI crew's talent. :)

[Natalie Winterstein]

Lisa, I've loved every single project you made for this release, but the one you made using Hawaiian Shores and Raspberry Fizz just blew me away. Your argyle set is my favorite set from this release. I can't wait to get it. Also, thanks for showing us the accompanying line of dots and how it's supposed to be used.
