Signature Series Showcase


This month, Papertrey Ink is launching a new series of stamps and dies designed by Dawn McVey called the Signature Series.  The design team is doing a group post tonight sharing projects created using the new stamps and dies.  I created this card and tag set using the new Cupcake image.



I created this card using the new Signature Series: Cupcake stamp, the new Mat Stack One Collection stamp set, and the Damask Designs stamp set.  I started by stamped my vintage cream card base with Damask Designs and sweet blush ink (CTMH).  Then, I stamped a piece of vintage cream cardstock that I had die cut with the mat stack one die with an image from the Mat Stack One Collection stamp set.  I cut a piece of vintage cream cardstock and impressed it with the polka dot impression plate and stitched it to some kraft cardstock.  I die cut my cupcake and stamped my image.  Then, I sponged some ink around the edges of all my vintage cream pieces using the tea dye duo inks.  I added a couple buttons and some cream crocheted lace from my etsy store.


I created my tag using pretty much the same steps as my card.  I die cut the tag using the tag sale die and cut a piece of fine linen felt with a die from the Limitless Layers collection.

You'll find lots more amazing inspiration using the new Signature Series line on the rest of the design team ladies' blogs: Nichole, Betsy, Dawn, Debbie, Erin, Heather, Kim, Lisa, Maile, Melissa, and Michelle.

Have a great night!

Niki
