Today I get to share with you a few fun Papertrey Ink sneak peeks! Mat Stack 4 Collection & Think Big Favorites are great new additions to the Papertrey line up... and I love them, and I know you will too!
Let get right to it~
This first card was SO fun to make. Mat Stack 4 is such a great die, I love it's curvy shape. I chose to die cut through the Aqua Mist layer and stamp the dot frame onto Spring Moss in Ripe Avocado.
Next I stamped the circle frame from the new Tag-its #1 and popped it up in the middle.
I also used the new Newsprint stamp set to stamp on that Aqua Mist layer as well as the delicate leaves from Blooming Button Bits. The sweet little birds from Little Bitty Birds add so much too, huh!
These next few cards I created to show how easy it is to use the same layout and even similar stamps to create several different looking cards. These cards all uses these things in common: Same card base size, exact size corner rounded top layer, frame (Mat Stack 4) die cut, Eyelet Lace die cut, Tag-it #1 stamp frame and sentiment and they all have a felt element. :)
First off one that is a little rustic.
I created this one with a more patriotic theme. A fun little felt star and button add just the right touch.
I am really enjoying the versatility of this text frame from the Mat Stack 4 Collection.
This next card is more feminine and sweet.
A little double stamping with BB: Text Style and the new Flower Fusion to create the BG paper.
This new houndstooth style frame has a sweet knitted feel.
This next card is more bright and modern. I used the make a wish sentiment to create a text background. I love the effect and how fast it was to create!
I used the last frame in the Mat Stack 4 Collection for this card. It has some great patterns.
The doily die really complements that frame die shape too.
Isn't it fun how you can
I've always loved Mixed Messages and Mega Mixed Messages. Papertrey Ink is now offering some of the sentiments from those sets in BIG format. They are Soooo cool too! Think Big Favorites is just that set! Here is a fun card I created with the Thanks sentiment in the set.
I used three different ink cubes to ink this wonderfully large sentiment. Spectrum stamping is so fun! Loving the new Royal Velvet ribbon too. Aren't these huge sentiments awesome! I'm really enjoying them!
Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me today. I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peeks. I really enjoyed creating with these set. Nichole has some great stuff she's showing and giving away today, make sure to stop by there to enter. Heather Nichols, Melissa Bickford, Dawn McVey and Maile Belles have projects to share too!
Thanks for poppying by friends!

As usual, your creations are absolutely beautiful! I love how you showed the same card layout done 5 different ways...the patriotic and spectrum-stamped cards are my faves though.
God bless,

I really, really wanted the mat stack 4 stamps--and now, after seeing your divine cards--though I didn't think it was possible, I want them even more! Heehee! I love the way you used so many dies, colors and stamps altogether to create these awesome projects! I adore the felt embellishment that appear on all but one of these cards, as well. GREAT post! :)

oh girl....what you do to me!! These cards simply took my breath away. I thought I loved the first one and then I scrolled to the next one and gasped out loud. And...oh no....it didn't stop there...the gasping continued! I simply love everything you used today and all of your projects. I hope I can do it even half as good as you. Thank you so much for inspiration. You keep me trying to perfect my craftiness.

Just caught up on your last three posts! LOVED that your daughter was in the Regionals in the Poetry Out Loud Competition---I love that competition and am trying to get my little school to start doing that--And I loved the poem you shared. It reminded me that we are ALL famous---or we can be, to someone! That's a good word for me this weekend! Thanks Lisa! Your project was so cute and has such meaning with that quote in the middle! Your Mat Stack 4 cards are great, too! I was trying to choose a favorite to talk about and I couldn't!!! They are all wonderful~Thanks for the great inspiration, Lisa!

Beautiful!! I am loving all the new designs. What size circle punch did you use for the centre of the mat stack stamps?
Posted by: cards by cara | February 12, 2011 at 11:25 AM
Stunning cards! Love the little yellow felt birds - adorable! I have those dies but haven't tried them with the felt yet - maybe tonight! So excited for all the new things and I haven't even been able to purchase all the great stuff that is already out there! LOL! But it is fun to play with what I do have and add to it as I can! TFS your art!
