Instagram Hop: Papertrey Ink April Release

For my 5″ X 7″ card today, I’m using the following Papertrey Ink products:

Vase Collection 17 stamp set and matching dies

Cover Plate Exquisite Die

These products are available to purchase now!

To make this A7 card, I started with a light pink cardstock for the front panel. I layered on the Exquisite Cover Plate die cut. Since my card is 5″ X 7″, I cut two Exquisite die cuts and attached them to the front, lining the two up for a continuous design that covers the entire front of my card. For an A2 card, you need just one of these die cuts. 

Next, I layered on the Psalm Reflections: April dies and the Love to Layer: Delightful Brackets dies to create the frames and scrolly designs around the frame. I cut out the scrolls and attached them as if they were ribbons to the floral designs. The florals are from the Vase Collection 17 stamps and dies. I stamped them using Distress Oxide Inks in Candy Apple, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar. For the foliage, I used Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness green inks.

I stamped the greetings from the Inside Greetings: Celebration II stamps. I wanted to use this card for an upcoming wedding we are invited to, so I used two of the verses in the set and pieced the sentiments together to get the perfect one for my card. Yes, you can mix and match with a little careful snipping or masking of the sentiment lines!

For additional accents, I used a RV02 Copic Marker to highlight the pin-dot design on the frame and scrolls. I also added cream pearl dots to the sentiment and on the scrolls. I used Pearl Pen, but you could also use Nuvo Drops in an ivory pearl color. This card it ready for the upcoming wedding we are invited to next month!
