Papertrey May Release Countdown - 2
Have y'all been enjoying the sneak peeks so far? I know I have!! This month's sets are fabulous (as they are every month) and I have been having a blast creating samples with them!
For my sneak peek I thought I'd show y'all a card I made using the soon-to-be-released Favor It Baby set (it's not just for making baby shower favors and whatnot you know!) - like the Favor It Weddings set this one is only going to be $5 (for 12 sentiments!!) and the play on words is so cute - it's such a fun little set!
I started with a 3 3/4" square piece of PT's Aqua Mist cardstock and punched 4 holes in it with my 1 1/4" circle punch.
I then took my Polka Dot Basics set and stamped the smalled polka dots onto the cardstock with white pigment ink.
I next took a piece of Lemon Tart CS (it looks green in this picture but it really is yellow!) and cut it just slightly smaller than the Aqua Mist CS.
I placed the Aqua Mist CS over the Lemon Tart piece and used the punched holes as guides for where to stamp the bee image (from the new Honey Bees set) using black ink.
I made sure to leave one circle blank.
I stamped the "Mommy to bee" sentiment onto a scrap of PT White cardstock and punched it out with my 1" circle punch.
I then adhered the Lemon Tart CS to a card base made from Summer Sunrise CS (the card measures 4.25" square). Once that was attached I attached the Aqua Mist piece using dimensionals and then the stamped sentiment was attached with yet another dimensional.
By stamping the sentiment onto white CS and punching it out as opposed to just stamping it onto the Lemon Tart it really makes it POP don't you think?
I finished off the card with a bit of Summer Sunrise ribbon and that was it!

Beautiful card. I had wondered how you got the stamp inside the circle (before or after punching the circle out?). Now I know!, but, how were you able to punch the circles in the right place? Did you measure? Did you cut the paper a certain size and then hoped the circles came out just right based on how you positioned the punch? I wonder...
Thanks,
Alex

Amy,
Great card as usual. I am with Alex. Do you have a trick for getting your punched circles lined up evenly? Please tell.

Very cute. I really like the way you made the shadow box for the bees. Great clean lines. Love the play on words of this set. Thanks again for your project!

what a darling card!

THIS is so adorable. Tell me (and a couple of others ;)your secret...how do you get your circles punched so perfectly even? I have a 1 1/4 inch square punch that I don't use much because it's so hard to measure four squares as evenly as you did.

Love the layout of this card...I'll need to try this out with different images this weekend. Keep up the great work & thanks for inspiring us! (I added a link to your blog on mine today - hope you don't mind!)
