Introducing: Lock & Key, Day Two

Welcome to the second day of sneak peeks of Lock & Key, the latest stamp set I created for Papertrey Ink. This set will be available on 12.15.11 (at 7am EST). I am over the top excited about the possibilities with this set!

The card I created today was inspired by this modern & elegant bedroom. My Sophia Grace is a huge fan of the color purple. Purple reminds me of royalty....so seeing this beautiful room makes me think of success and prestige.

I used the lavender moon and pale plum color combo to create this card. I love the sentiment! I know Todd and I have made many sacrifices to get where we are today, and this is something we choose to instill in our children. Wouldn't this be a great card to give to a college or high school graduate? This could also be a great card to give to someone starting a new career.


I added some gems to the key to give it a touch of bling! Who doesn't like bling?



I am SO excited about the ideas I came up with this month - I would love to show them ALL today, but I think I am going to {wink!} string you along for a few more days. Stop back and see me again tomorrow! Later this week, I will have a wedding ensemble that will knock your socks off - so don't bother wearing socks when you stop by in a few days! {wink!}

Hey, be sure to stop by and see what the other designers are up to!

Nichole,
Dawn
Heather
Melissa &
Lisa all have some EYE candy for you!

Introducing: Lock & Key, Day One

The latest stamp set which I created for Papertrey ink is called Lock & Key. It will be available on 12.15.11 and it is a wonderfully versatile stamp set. Keys, particularly skeleton keys, have fascinated me: their intricate details, the history they hold. Each key is so unique. I see locks & keys being used in all kind of decorating - from wall art to jewelry.

I love the rich iron color and the details of this decoration:

How fun is this - the variation of shapes and colors against the plain craft background. What a fun display for an entry to your home.

A single key offset in a frame is an elegant look:

These beautiful necklaces with pearls and gems make them so elegant against the silver, contrasted by the leather cord.

Keys and locks used in patterns make a great background!

A single key, so simple, yet so special and unique.

Keys, labeled with a simple ribbon and card, a unique way of showing a table display at a reception

So what do you think? Are you ready for a few days of samples....I am going to go nice and slow and start out with just one sample - but I will have you know, I have been crafting up a STORM with this set!

I used raspberry & black for this card! It makes for a fun Valentine, don't you think? I used a papertrey die to cut the black cardstock, then a scalloped punch for the white. The key and lock are both included in the stamp set....see the heart in the handle? Coordinates so cute with the sentiment, don't you think? And cutting out the keys and lock is easy, peasy, lemon squeezy with the coordinating dies.



I used some may arts ribbon on the bottom of the die cut... and the lock and key are adhered with a foam square!



Day two is going to be fun, so check back in ....and be sure to check out all the other designers...

I paired the Willow set with some sentiments from Friends Till The End to create a card for a friend who is moving away to "Hot-lanta" later this month. We had a nice going away brunch for her the other day and I made this card, along with a "wonderful friends" address book. I used some SU! green cardstock with Hawaiian shores cardstock.



This card uses new leaf along with hawaiian shores. I did the rock and roll technique on the leaves.

Introducing: Willow, day four

Welcome to day four of the Willow sneak peeks. What have you thought of the samples from the previous three days?

Today I am playing with chocolate, poppy and kraft.

I used an A2 poppy base, the polkadot basics stamp with poppy ink on the kraft cardstock, some chocolate cardstock with white ink. A few buttons and rustic thread...


This is a fun 4.25 square layout, very simple with a ton of buttons, but no sentiment.


A kraft A2 base on this last card, with polkadots in white ink on the bottom of the card. The white ink just POPS off the poppy layer and a satin chocolate ribbon coordinates well with the sentiment, stamped in chocolate ink.
