Last month we made the announcement that we would start carrying patterned paper, and what a response we have had! This month's patterned paper collection is something that I am especially proud of and very excited to present to you! I introduce the Pink Patterns Collection, exclusively from Papertrey Ink!
In case you missed our introduction last month, we carry the set of 6 patterns in both 6x6 and 12x12 sizes. The 6x6 pad includes six sheets of each of the six patterns for $6. The 12x12 pack includes two sheets each of six patterns for $6. The fun thing about the 6x6 pad is that the patterns are scaled down by half, making them a little more "card-maker" friendly. I took some photos to show you the differences between the two sizes, while also giving you a close-up view of each of the six patterns!

So there they all are! What do you think? Which pattern do you just want to grab from your monitor and get busy creating something fabulous?!?!?
I decided to pair two of my favorites in today's sneak peek, Pretty Pink Polka Dots & Berry Sorbet Floral Print. It all starts with a focal point. I stamped this pretty swirl from our new Boxes, Bags & Tags set with Sweet Blush ink. I love how this image is singular. It enables you to be able to control the spacing & overall use of the image. The possibilities are enless with just this one stamp!
Next I added the sentiment "it's your day" from Candice's new set, "It's a Celebration". I love those loopy "y's"!!!
I wanted to do something a bit different with my focal point, so I adhered a piece of Berry Sorbet ribbon behind it. I then trimmed the ends in the formation of inverted v's.
I pierced holes on either end to enable me to insert brads. (These are from Paper Studio, almost a true match!)
I then adhered it to the front of my card. I utilized two papers from our 6x6 Pretty Patterns collection. I created a scalloped edge with my slot punch (SU!) and adhered it to the polka-dot cover. I adhered Berry Sorbet grosgrain ribbon across the seam of the two papers. The focal point is adhered with foam dimensionals to help show off the ribbon I added to the back of it.
For the inside of the card I decided to use one of my techniques from long ago. I stamped my sentiment (from Birthday Basics, LOVE this set!) onto white cardstock.
I then trimmed the sentiment into strips.
Once adhered inside your card just slightly helter-skelter, you will have what I like to call sophisticated ransom style.
