Hi folks! It’s Papertrey Ink June Release Countdown Day 2 and I’ve got a couple card using some of the new goodies including Vintage Blooms, Inside Greetings: Friendship, Feathered Friends 24, and Just Sentiments: Friendship! My first card today uses the next in the Feathered Friends series. Feathered Friends 24 features the colorful toucan!

This set can easily be put together using colored cardstock, but for a more organic feel, try die cutting it in white and blending ink onto each piece. To give it even more natural look, you can even try blending the colors between each die cut like I did here. This set comes with two palm leaves which make great place for the toucan to perch. The background is just an easy blended sunset on the water with a sentiment from the Just Sentiments: Friendship.

My next card uses the Vintage Blooms stamps and dies. The Vintage Blooms stamps are beautiful and the matching die set includes great extras like the filigree dies I used in corners of my card. I stacked two of the corner die cuts together, and the look reminds me of ornate woodwork.

To finish the card, I die cut multiple layers using the Pierced Feature Frames Die and Shape Shifters: Oval 2 Die. I used the Script Background Stencils (also in this release) to dress up one of the layers and I love the subtle detail it adds. The sentiment is from the Vintage Postage stamps set that you saw yesterday.

Check out the PTI Blog for more peeks! I’ll be back tomorrow for the Countdown Day 3 and more from the upcoming release!

Aloha, jj
