Tomorrow will be the last day of the countdown and the ALL-NEW Papertrey stamps will be available tomorrow night at midnight EST. I am so excited for you to see all of these images. They are just so versatile!
Today I thought I would focus on all the bits & pieces I included in these sets besides borders. Each of the five new sets contain 6-8 itty bitty images. Some of you may ask why I created images that are so small? Well the answer is quite simple. More versatility! I had several ideas for borders when I concepted these sets back in January. But I wasn't going to have the room to fit ALL of them on the stamp sheets. So I decided to follow through with the remainder of my ideas, but break them down into small pieces. The beauty of this concept is that you can add the same border to any of the 5 scalloped shapes. You can even use them with things OTHER scallops, or other brands/ types of shapes.
I decided to work with an oval this morning. I like to stamp my image/ sentiment first and then invert my punch to punch it out.
I then added the border detail with the itty bitty stamp. It was so easy since the scallops pre-determine your spacing for you.
I added a little paper piercing in each of the accent images that make up the border and added some ribbon and a flower accent. Instant cute & simple card! I love how these borders make beautiful cards with just a simple sentiment added. It really helps to bring it to center stage.
I thought I would share some other borders I built with some additional itty bitty images that are included in the five sets. The possibilities are so endless since you can turn the stamps inward or outward for two different looks. There is truely something for every style...
All border samples use Marvy giga scalloped punches
