Tiered Tray Collection: Valentines tray

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a Valentines themed Tiered Tray! This fabulous Tiered Tray die set  can be used for any season, holiday or occasion.
You can see my Pink Christmas and Farmhouse Fall trays for more ideas.
Check out what I made.
I used 2 cutie gnomes on this tray, each with their hats die cut from patterned paper. This is a quick and easy way to change them up to match any decor theme. Did you notice the mug with pink heart lollipops? SO cute! A little glossy accents on the heart die cuts gave them that little something extra.

Tiered Tray collection: Pretty Pink Christmas

 Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I posted a Christmas tiered tray card and got a request to make a PINK version. I was so excited to get started because I originally WANTED to do a pink tray, but got sidetracked with finding some red string pearls. You can check out my traditional colored tray here.

The tray and coordinating bits are from the Tiered Tray collection by Spellbinders designed by Becky Roberts. I've said it before, but what a fun die set. I have plans for Valentines next. But first, check out what I made.

Edited: This collection has been retired. 

Products used on this card:
Tiered Tray collection
Tiered Tray Sentiments stamp set
 Christmas Blooms die set (flowers and branches)
Shopping cart holiday and presents die set (trees)
Copic markers for gnome and background details
White gel pen, black and pink pens for cup and sign details
Pink rhinestone gems
DecoArt Snow-Tex (snow on tree) 
 
For the background, I used the Candy Stripes card front die. I colored a few of the negative pieces with pink and gray copics and glued them back in. I love how versatile this background die is. I created an entirely different look with my original card.
I got quite a few questions about this on my last card. I hand wrote the lettering on the cups and signage in a Rae Dunn style of lettering.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Tiered Tray collection: Christmas tray

Hi everyone! Here is a Christmas version of the new Tiered Tray collection by Spellbinders designed by Becky Roberts. I sure love this Tray die set, so many possibilities. Basically anything that is small in scale can be used to decorate it. I had planned to make a Pink Christmas themed tray, but after searching around, I found some old "pearls by the yard" in the sparkly red and went with it. Tons of trays are decorated with bead strands. Check out what I made.

EDITED: THIS COLLECTION IS NOW RETIRED

Products used on this card:
Tiered Tray collection
Tiered Tray Sentiments stamp set
Candy Stripes card front die
 Red Mix essential gems
Christmas Blooms die set (flowers and branches)
Copic markers for gnome details
White gel pen, black and red pens

I used the new Candy Stripes card front die for the background and die cut it 2 times and flipped one of the die cuts so it would have the criss-cross look. I love how versatile it is, 2 looks with one die.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Tiered Tray collection: Farmhouse Fall Tiered Tray card

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share a card using the NEW fabulous collection designed by one of my besties, Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho! This collection is called Tiered Tray and is another collection collab with Spellbinders. It has 2 die sets and 1 clear stamp set. But I have a feeling this may just be the beginning! Check out what I made.

Edited: This collection has been retired

I mean, come on! Bring on the cuteness! My tray is styled with colors and elements of a farmhouse fall tiered tray with all the pumpkins, eucalyptus, white bound books and of course the GNOME!
 
Products used on this card:
Tiered Tray collection
Tiered Tray Sentiments stamp set
 Spellbinders Sun Rays Embossing Folder (similar)
Craft Consortium Wood Textures 8x8 pad for tray
White pigment ink for whitewashing
Ivory pigment ink for whitewashing
Sakura Glitter pen in clear
Copic markers for pumpkin, books and beard details

To give everything that farmhouse "white chalk paint distressed" look, I brushed on both white and ivory cream to all the tray elements. And anyone who follows farmhouse DIY tray/decor bloggers knows how much they LOVE the white chalk paint and gray wood! Our version of that is white pigment ink.
Lastly, all the sparkle in the background was just a little clear Sakura glitter pen inked over an embossed background. I can't find the name of the folder online, if I find it I will link it above.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
