Text Block: Birthday die

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a few projects featuring the Text Block: Birthday die by Papertrey Ink. This awesome new die was designed by Lizzie Jones, and will be available for purchase on the 15th.For my first project, I created a shaker card. I think you all know how I feel about shakers, don’t you:) They make the world go ’round.  I went over the white cardstock with my Wink of Stella glitter pen. I colored that puppy while watching the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. Every time I’d get really involved into my coloring, one of my kids would yell at me, “Mom, you’re missing the whole thing!” Um, the ceremony went on for ever, but I did enjoy seeing all of the athletes in their coordinating outfits and beaming faces.
Next, I used the die cut on some of that new and super gorgeous cardstock…Tropical Teal. I stitched the sentiment onto the cardstock, leaving a few loose threads.
I clear embossed the background using Polka Dot Basics 2 stamp set and then washed over it with my cheapy watercolors. I also die cut a few vellum hearts using the cover plate: hearts die, and a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins. Paulina’s sparkling clear sequins have become my fave. They really do sparkle.
And because I never miss an opportunity to throw a rainbow into the mix…here ya go. I went over a scrap of white cardstock with my Copics and die cut it with the Text Block: Birthday die.
I adhered the rainbow pieces into the background of a white die cut sentiment.
As you can see, there’s so many fun way to use this new die. Check out the Papertrey Ink blog to see more of the fabulous February release. Thanks so much for stopping by!
