IHP DT Challenge: What's New?

For this month’s i {heart} papers design team challenge, we’re highlighting some of the newest products to arrive at IHP. Winter CHA products are starting to arrive and the store’s overflowing with lots of new goodies to choose from, including stamps, papers, markers, and embellishments.

I went clean and simple on my project to really show off the pretty image from the Elegant Birds set from My Cute Stamps, one of the stamp lines that’s new to IHP. I stamped the birdcage in London Fog ink, then added the bird. I colored the bird with Copic markers and highlighted around the cage, too, in a very pale blue-green marker. I dotted the cage with some Liquid Pearls for a little dimension and shine.

The image panel is set on a large patterned paper panel from the Hazel paper pad, one of the pretty new My Mind’s Eye Stella and Rose lines. Love these scaled-down patterns for card making! I rounded one of the panel’s corners and did some faux stitching along the edges to add interest. To anchor the cage, I used a piece of gray baker’s twine (not a brand new IHP product, but a relatively new one!), threaded through the top of the cage and extending to the top of the card. A matching bow decorates the twine at the card’s top. For a little sparkle, I attached a clear crystal at the top of the cage. The sentiment is stamped on an aqua panel in the same gray ink I used for the image. All the pieces are arranged on a coordinating blue cardfront for an almost monochromatic look.

Don’t miss what the rest of the IHP team has come up with using the latest and greatest. It’s sure to inspire you—and make you want to shop! Here’s where to find them:
