Hey everyone! Back on the blog today with the Papertrey Ink January 2023 Release Countdown Days 2 and 3! Today I’m highlighting a bunch of the new goodies including the Birthday Tag Kit, Birthday Background, Birthday Celebration stamps, Love to Layer: Decorative Bracket dies, Larger Than Life: Home dies, and Larger Than Life: Home Sentiments stamps.

Let me start off with the Birthday Tag Kit that includes a ton of different tags in different sizes and shapes along with some super fun word dies that perfectly match the tags. Of course you can use these dies just for tags, but I thought they would look fun all together on a slimline card together!

I die cut each tag with a different word die and then backed each with the same tag cut in colored cardstock. I offset the backing tag just a smidge so you could see the color peek out from the front. To dress up the background, I used one of the stamps from the Birthday Celebration stamps set to create a “polka stripe” background in the same colors as my cardstock. Lots of fun to make and a great way to use your colored cardstock scraps!

This next card uses one of the same tag dies, but this time I did an inlaid die cut technique by putting the letters back into the die cut openings. For the background, I made a super easy infinity shaker. Inside the shaker I used a background stamped with the Birthday Background stamp. For this card, I wanted to keep the color in the shaker fillers, so I just stamped with the same color as the cardstock (Soft Stone). The fun shaker fillers are also in the Birthday Tag Kit.

My last card today uses the new Larger Than Life: Home dies, Larger Than Life: Home Sentiments stamps, and Love to Layer: Decorative Bracket dies. I started off with creating a background using the largest of the dies in the new Love to Layer: Decorative Bracket dies set over a panel using the previously-released Cover Plate: Trellis Die. Then I added the “home” word die and added a stamped sentiment from the Larger Than Life: Home Sentiments stamps. The final touch was to add some “homey” touches with the house plants using the previously-released set Love is Everywhere from last month.
