New Home Wishes - Papertrey Ink Happy Camper

Hi Friends!

Today's tag is inspired by moving to new places and exploring new faces and wishing lots of happiness upon those who do.

We feel like we won the neighborhood lottery, and love how much these beautiful, warm days bring out life on our cozy little streets. It's always fun to watch the yards transform, the neighbors reconnect.

Despite all the ongoing work and hectic Spring to-do lists, it's my favorite time year because everything seems to awaken! Love seeing kids playing out in the street once again, and neighbors enjoying their front porches, catching up since our long hibernation, or meeting for the first time. 

Really feeling the neighborhood vibes and feeling so grateful that we live on such a great little street.

To start this tag, I used Rustic White cardstock and PTI's Tag Sale: Quilted die, cutting off the bottom and adding an oval bottom, cut with To the Point Edgers 2, out of Rustic Cream cardstock. 

At the top of the tag, I added some yellow ribbon, and a wee Aqua Mist button.

I added tiny, adorable pennants, cut using PTI's Petite Places: Happy Camper die, colored with an aqua marker. I stamped a flower, using Pale Peony ink, and leaves using New Leaf and Green Parakeet, with an older floral stamp set, which I also fussy cut. 

For the sentiment, I used Tucked In: New Home stamps from Papertrey Ink, stamped in Orange Zest ink.

I love this little camper and wagon stamp set, and thought it was a perfect, fun twist for a housewarming card. It just so happens that PTI's May Blog Hop is all about campers - so I'm kind of eager to use these and switch up the colors a tad...Must get started on that :)

 I used PTI's Happy Camper stamps to stamp these two, cut with the matching dies. I used ink colors of Hibiscus Burst, Aqua Mist and Smokey Shadow.

I added my favorite iridescent rhinestones, some sequins, and liquid pearls, along with a stamped heart garland at the bottom.

I featured these little gems in last week's giveaway, and I have a winner to announce!
The randomly-drawn winner is
