Hi all! I’ve got a bunch of projects to share today for Papertrey Ink’s September release in review. Let’s just jump right in, shall we? First up is the Polka Dot Parade set designed by Melissa Bickford.
I’ve been wanting to try this die cutting technique ever since I saw JJ Bolton work her magic on this card. I love how Maile did this, too, on this card.
Speaking of Maile, she designed this next set, Holiday Cheer.
I wasn’t about to part with that many enamel dots at one time, so I used white liquid pearls and then colored them with Copics.
And here’s another card from the Holiday Cheer set.
I colored the wreath in with Copics and then added glossy accents.
Next up is this beautifully ornate set designed by Dawn McVey called Boutique Borders.
I stamped the frame and used an Xacto knife to cut slits along the sides to thread some ribbon. That decorative ribbon is quite old and from Hobby Lobby. Does anyone else get stuck in a trance while visiting the Hobby Lobby ribbon isle?
This next Stained Glass set was designed by Lexi Daily.
I felt that this image was fitting for a bookmark. I don’t have a bookmark die, so I just trimmed a piece of cardstock and rounded the edges with my scissors. The image was colored with Copics.
Kid Kudos, designed by Erin Lincoln, is perfect to use for little lunchbox notes and pillow-box treats.
And lastly, Holiday Home, designed by Melissa Bickford, is a perfect companion to the Cover Plate: Snow Drifts die.
Are you still with me? Are you still breathing? Everything ok? Good. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

So many gorgeous creations here Laura – I am in eye candy crafty Heaven! I will remember the tip about liquid Pearls and Copics, and I love the wreath, and the bookmark, and, and… well, you see what I mean!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! I color pearls and rhinestones all the time with Copics, but never thought of making the same with Liquid Pearls. What a great tip, Laura!
Still breathing… just! You make me want to break down and start buying copics, Laura! These are stunningly beautiful cards! 🙂
OMGosh, I love every single one of these! And yes, I used to get stuck in the ribbon aisle of stores, but I’m over it now, and have the lifetime supply of ribbon to prove it.
Good heaven’s, girl…this latest release is such a perfect complement to your style! Great job on the technique you used for your “Pumpkin Tag”, and I love the idea of coloring liquid pearls with Copics…Genius!!! Really gorgeous cards and tags, Laura, and I love the pillow box, too!
Great tags and cards Laura .. I had not thought of colouring the liquid pearls .. thank you for the tip and , I too have been mesmerized in the ribbon aisle and sometimes cannot resist just ” one more ” … LOL .
I think everyone has said it all……………….great release! Your cards and tags are right on!!! Love the colors and the idea of coloring the liquid pearls with copics. I’m going to give that a try today. As always………………..BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing and have a great day! Ciao:)
Absolutely stunning Laura, all of them! Love the technique you used on the pumpkin tag. The glossy accents makes that holiday wreath say Wow! and the ribbon running through the Boutique Borders image is gorgeous. Love your work. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey, did I mention you’re my new FAVORITE member of the PTI DT?
Love EV. ER. Y. THING you have made here! That pumpkin tag? Excuse me while I pick up the chunks of my brain and stuff them back in. Whoa!
Wow, these are all fabulous!
Everything looks so wonderful. My jaw dropped at the “Merry and Bright” card. The glossy accents really, well, accent it. And the colored liquid pearls is such a great idea. I’m just loving everything about this post.
Congratulations on your first release with PTI, Laura! All of your projects were so inspiring!! Especially loved your photo card with the enamel dots and that sweet home for the holidays card!
Each and everyone is amazing!!! I specially loved how you colored the white liquid pearls, cool idea 🙂
