I LOVE this month’s Papertrey Ink release. Then again, don’t we all.
This month allowed me to do such a variety of cards, and use many techniques, my head was just spinning with ideas!!
They go from simple, to more involved. I love that versatility in a set when you see a bunch of possibilities.
I went crazy combining both the Birds of a feather set, with the Flower Garden set. They are a perfect match! You would think that they were designed by the same person!!
Congrats to fellow DT member Lisa Johnson for completing her very first set!!
OK so now I will share my creations. I always LOVE your feedback on which is your favorite and why. I realize I often love very different ones than most. I think I have bad taste! LOL!
This month my most favorite project was Lady Bird Window. My idea just flowed onto the paper.
OK enough blabbering

I think this is my 2nd favorite. No idea why. Maybe the simple clean look, circle and colors-lets not forget the bling
Using various pieces of cardstock, I made a quick and colorful thank you, in under 5 minutes! ALL the Papertrey Perfect Match colors coordinate beautifully.

This window card really shimmers and shines with 3D
flowers made using Fantasy Film. A great card to give to someone special who needs a lift.

A Little Note
Stamps-Birds of a feather
Cardstock-berry sorbet
ink-black
New Home Duo Planter-this is when an idea just transforms into a perfect creation. I was pretty happy about this one.
This is the perfect house warming gift for any new neighbor of friend, to say Welcome to the Neighborhood or Congratulations on your new home! A great way to present those new plants and house-warming gifts.
One plant out view
After much review the most popular type of house warming gift is a plant of sorts. I chose to use use 2 Parade Rose bushes as a gift, and present them in a nice way. That way they can be planted when the new home owner settles in. They will have them for many years to come, and it should add some beauty to their garden.
The interesting holder makes a nice presentation. I simply measured my little pots for the rose bushes. I then measured and cut 2 holes using my circle nestabilties. I then added a sturdy handle to carry them, and a tag to match!
Supplies
Stamps-Home Sweet Home
Ink- Pallette black, Lavender Moon
Cardstock-PTI Vanilla, Lavender Moon, Plum Pudding
Patterned Paper-Guideline 12 x 12 collection in Valencia, and Cabrera
Ribbon-Plum Pudding Twill
Other-acetate, souffle pen, 2 plants, circle nestabilities
Grid Lines Set
Great Masked Grid
This set has endless possibilities. I got this one rather late, and so wished I had time to create more fun things for you to view. Hey I have time after the release right?
This new set was a lot of fun to use, and made making this jeweled circle very easy to do!!!
I cut a circle mask using my Nestabilities, and then stamped in the circle to create this awesome imge. It used 2 of the desings in the set for a unique pattern.
Only took me 12 minutes to make this card!!! I used a plastic grid (idea courtesy of Jody Morrow-which I was told was her idea from Sharon’s blog) to create the pierced circles going around the circle. So easy to do. Great effect! I tell you I am just in awe of the talent in this area of life. You people all blow me away.

Awesome PTI projects Lauren. I definitely have some favorite sets but have to wait for a bit to get them. Play money spent for the month already. 🙂
I really love the Lady Bird window! It’s just lovely! I’ve never heard of Fantasy Film, but I am going to have to buy some now. It’s so pretty!
I also really love the last card. The stamp is great!
Sow Many Colours and Lady Bird Window are just stunning. Mind you the rest are pretty amazing too. You always seem to be able to turn them out. Can’t even get on their site this morning!
Wow, Lauren! You did it again! Amazing – AMAZING – work! 🙂 I looked at it and had to come back to your site 3 times already! Great job! 🙂
How is Noah feeling this morning? Get any sleep last night?
These are all awesome. I think my favorites are the sow many colors and the masked grid lines ones. You do such a nice job with these releases. -Molly B
Girl – you’ve done it another month!!! I was immediately drawn to the window card, but I also love your last quick card – so classic. Have a great Sunday. Heather
Wow, everything’s so amazing! I definitely love your window card and I love how you masked grid lines – I don’t think I would have thought of that! So cute! I can’t wait to get my PTI package so I can play too!
AMAZING! I love the second card with the circles the most but the masked circle with gridlines!!!!!……. Nice job!
Amazing stuff, I especially loved seeds of love and ruby red, love the different looks and they are so both so cool, great colors!
My very favorite of all is your second favorite. The colors are so pretty and the bling just finishes it off. Anyone would be so very happy to receive this card. As always all of your cards are outstanding.
Sheri
Everything is beautiful as always, I always love your clean simple cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just saw you wonderful publications in Crafts n Things, love the owl card. Hope Jay has a great Fathers Day……..
Take Care, Donna G :}
Oh my goodness…all of these projects are fabulous Lauren! Love all the floral images!
Lauren, you really outdid yourself this time! These are all beautiful. I love how you blended “birds of a feather” and “garden set” to make some awesome cards. I can’t pick one favorite because they are all amazing in such different ways. For the first time, I ordered the almost “gotta have it all”! I ordered everything but the 12 x 12 paper. I have never even come close to doing this but all of the stamp sets spoke to me, the purple is beautiful and looks to round out the hue and values with the lavender and the SU purples. And the Vanilla. With the way that PTI white respond to coloring with copics and pencil with OMS how can you not get the vanilla? So there I went ordering almost “gotta have it all”!
Hi Lauren, you, as always, do so much to inspire me! I ordered last night but checked the samples first. You really sold me on getting Flower Garden! I loved the set but had decided to be ‘good’ and only order the Birds and Guide Lines. Your Guide Lines card is fantastic too–wouldn’t have thought of doing that. On a past note, I was going to mention cutter I recently bought. It is the Fiskars European 12″ Rotary. I really like the measurement system and the fact that there is a lock to hold the paper in place. I was able to retrim if I wanted to remove 1/8″ or so. Each cut was perfect. There are additional blades but I don’t have any so can’t comment on that feature. I bought mine at Tuesday Morning for about $25. I don’t know how widespread these stores are and the items are one time only—the cutters sold out here in one day! Have a good day!!
Oh, my gosh….I love all of your creations….and I’m so glad I was BAD at 12am…..and was a bit piggish and Got It All! I can hardly wait….and DH is out of town this week….lets see frozen WW meals….house work for the week is almost finished, laundry done….looks like I’m going to have an excellent week!
I love them all and probably NEED then also LOL. I think my favorite is the house, we have several new neighbors just moving in and I think this would be a wonderful gift.
Oh MY GOSH! OKay so I look and say this is my fav. then you scroll down again and say No I believe this one is it ..and on and on and on …I need to move to your town so i can have lessons…I mean you said you just started stamping not long ago …What the heck happened ??? you picked one stamp up and waaaaaaaaaala …I need to have that mojo lol
so I keep loving your little butterfly punch , how do I get that …I asume you just use the vellum …
thanks for sharing your wonderful cards and talent ..

3 words for you YOU ENABLER YOU!!!!!!!!!

Great cards, Lauren! Love the housewarming plant, too. My favorite is the last one with Guide Lines. I love the pattern in the circle! Beautiful job, as always!
AMAZING, Lauren!!! Seriously, your mojo was working overtime on this release! Each project is fantastic — no way I could pick a favorite!
Lauren, I love each and every card you made. How do you come up with such great ideas/layouts, not to mention color combinations! You’re pure genious! You never cease to amaze me with your talent.
Lauren–EVERY card you made for this release are WONDERFUL! Such beautiful designs… and great use of the new stamps!
Lauren ever single creation is stunning!! I just don’t know how you manage to come up with such fantastic ideas. Your creativity is such an inspiration to me. My most favorite creation is definitely the circles of many colors card. Now I know what to do with all the new sets I have coming. Thanks for sharing all of your art work with everyone.
Gosh Lauren, where do I begin?! Your work is just awesome! You have the best ideas! That little potted plant gift set is just so unique! It was so hard picking a favorite. I love the way you made the Lady Bird window card. The way the images continue outside of the window and the fantasy film flowers are gorgeous!
I also like the Sow Many Colors because it looks so fresh and modern. The great grid card is so pretty! I love the colors. I also can’t wait to see what else you do with it after you’ve had time to play more. That is a set that I think is going to be invalueable!

I like the Sow many Colors one… very simple & pretty….
But your talent always amazes me. You are even making me like the bird set, which I did not originally think I would. lol
Amazing cards!! I love them all, but I must say my favourite is Lady Bird Window. I love it because I’m very interested in the fantasy film and seeing the petals done in it was just stunning. Great work.
My question is regarding the “plastic grid” in which you created the circle piercings along one of your cards. I don’t really understand what you mean by plastic gird. Is this a template you can buy or did you make it? I bought a paper piercer recently but I can never find any decent stencils or templates to create nice lines or circles in. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rebecca
Lauren,
Your are truly gifted. My favorite is the 6 circles – so very classy!
I wished that I lived closer to New Hampshire so I could take your classes. Can’t wait to see the glitter class creations. Maybe you could go on the road?
Wow, have you ever been busy. I love what you have done with the new stamp sets. It seems like this months release has been very well received, I certainly love them all.
SHAZAM!! FANTASTICO!! Well I WAS going to wait to get some of the new releases, but you totally ruined that! Amazing creations Lauren!
I “sow” love that second card–heeheehee. Couldn’t resist using that pun. It is such a cheerful and simple card. Totally adorable!
Could you give a little more info on how to do the “great masked grid”? I could not understand how to do that! It’s so pretty. Thanks!
Lauren I just LOVE that thank you card with the circles!! It’s just brilliant! I will definitely be trying that one! And the New Beginnings card – love the colors!! 🙂
Lauren, these are all stunning! I love the 6 circles and the planter gift is amazing, as is the circle card! WOW!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the masked gridlines card!!!!!!!!!! Course I love purple so that may have something to do with it! Just stunning! I also really liked the Ruby Red card – it just POPS! Love all that glitter!
[…] Papertrey Ink Release June I just love when images fall over the edges! this one was so much fun to create, as I utilized the 2 step stamping this set features. […]
Wow great set of cards! I’ll have to CASE the sow many colours card!

stunning projects as always! I’m sitting and looking at my PTI cart and had finally decided to hold off on the new birdie stamps (just have too much in there already) but now i dont think i’ll be able to do it!! haha
Lots of gorgeous stuff here! I love the purples!
finally had a moment to read through all your posts! Wow! You’ve been busy! :o) I love, love, love the second card the most! It’s beautiful – color combo, simplicity, bling, you know…the whole shebang! And, of course, all the others are fantastic as well! Can’t wait to see what more you come up with for the Grid Lines set!
Dang, you’re good, Lauren! Love your stuff, especially when you do the PTI releases. Fabulous!
