Welcome back to the Papertrey Ink February 2023 Release Countdown! Today is Countdown Day 3 and we’re highlighting the new Iconic Easter, Larger Than Life: Spring dies, Larger Than Life: Spring Sentiments, and Happy Bunnies stamps and dies.

I’ve got two cards today using the Iconic Easter set, both paired with the Cover Plate: Quilted die. The squares of the Quilted die make a great frame for the petite stamps of the Iconic Easter set. So for this first card, I stamped an entire Quilted die panel in a pastel colors. If you’re playing along, I used Mint Julep, Lemon Tart, Summer Sunrise, Sweet Blush, Spring Rain, and Lilac Grace.

After I stamped the panel, I die cut an aperture with the oval die of the new Love to Layer: Beautiful Bracket die set to create a shaker card. I used the die cut piece to back the inside of the shaker which adds a little extra detail than just a solid color. Then I added the sentiment using the Larger Than Life: Spring stamps and dies. Such a fun card to make!

This next card uses a similar technique but is a more clean and simple style. I stamped inside the grid again but kept it to just two different stamps. Then I added a sentiment label that coordinates with the quilted pattern using the Love to Layer: Squares die and Spring Greetings stamps. To finish off the card, I added two extra details. I added a frame around the card by spray misting a panel with the same 4 colors I used on the card. Last but not least, I added a mini pompom to each of the bunnies. I love little details like this!

Are you having fun seeing all the release goodies this week? We’ve got more one day of peeks and the release goes live on Tuesday, February 21st! Check out the PTI for the rest of the Countdown Day 3 highlights!
