New Trendy Triangles

Hi everyone! I’m back for Day 2 of June previews with My Favorite Things! Today I have two samples using new Trendy Triangles with coordinating Triangles Die-namics.  All sentiments are from Lisa’s Blissful Butterflies set.

My first card was 100% inspired by a card I came across in Pinterest designed by Ashley Cannon Newell.   Her card had the perfect balance of white and color so I didn’t change a thing other than the stamps used.

Typically I would stamp then die-cut the stamped object/image but for the triangles, I found it much easier to do it the other way around.  After die-cutting the triangles from Smooth White card stock, I used MFT’s Lemon Drop and Red Hot ink as well as Amuse Navy ink to stamp the various patterns.   The sentiment was stamped in Black Licorice.

On the inside, I simply added a stamped row of the triangle pattern with a very thin strip of Red Hot card stock to separate the row from the message area.

For my second card, I used Sno Cone, Berrylicious and Blu Raspberry card stocks offset by Black Licorice triangles.  The small Sweet Tooth circles were die-cut all at once using new Peek-a-boo Dots Die-namics.  As above, the sentiment, from Blissful Butterflies, was stamped in Black Licorice ink.

On the inside, I stamped a bottom border using Laina’s Mod Borders, coloring in each triangle using blue/green shades of Copic markers.
