It's day #1 of reveals for the January release at Ink to Paper. The USPS held up the design team by "losing" our packages so we were all late getting them. Instead of a release on the 15th, it will be the 20th instead. Today, we are introducing Sprigs & Sprays stamp set and dies + Antique Wishes stamp set and dies + Cake Please stamp set and dies + Delicate Doilies dies. I had a smooshing good time with the background using distress oxide inks! The florals in this set can be paired with a variety of containers from previously released sets and I chose the pitcher from Abundant Blooms. I love that the Cake Please set has 3 different floral or cake "picks" images - birthday, anniversary and baby - making it a fun option for adding a sentiment! STAMPS: Sprigs + Spays, Cake Please, Abundant Blooms INK: Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, New Leaf, Ocean Tides, Green Parakeet, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, True Black; Picked Raspberry Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey distress oxide inks (used on background). PAPER: Watercolor, White. DIES: Border Bling: Tin Stitch, Pierced Feature Frames, Sprigs + Sprays, Cake Please, Abundant Blooms. There is an awesome new farmhouse style frame die and stamp set that is so much fun to create with! I chose to stencil Soft Stone ink over Soft Stone paper using the largest Hexagon stencil that can be found in the Papertrey Ink store. It's hard to see the dry embossing of the frame die that gives it added texture. The frame width is 3 3/4" wide which I like as it seems a bit like a small slimline card (length is 5 1/2"). STAMPS: Antique Wishes, Sprigs + Sprays. INK: Soft Stone, True Black, Pale Peony, Sweet Blush; Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Ocean Tides, Pinefeather. PAPER: White, Soft Stone. DIES: Antique Wishes, Sprigs + Sprays. OTHER: Hexagon stencil by PTI. My last card for the day uses a really fun cake set that is so versatile for a variety of occasions! I love this new large doily die (it's the largest of three in the set). I used some patterned papers in two of my favorite ITP colors - Sweet Blush and Aqua Mist and dusted off some seam binding that reminded me of my early stamping days when I added ribbon very frequently. STAMPS: Cake Please INK: Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, True Black, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, Green Parakeet, Ocean Tides, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse, Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet PAPER: Bitty Big: Sweet Blush, Bitty Big: Aqua Mist, White DIES: Delicate Doilies, Cake Please OTHER: Seam binding Supplies Don't forget to stop by tomorrow when you'll more new products on the second of four days! ~Wanda
