Fresh Inspiration with Papertrey Ink: February 2026 Release

Feb 24 2026 | By: Lea Lawson

February Release Instagram Hop

The February release from Papertrey Ink is here, and it’s packed with fresh designs, sweet details, and happy little touches that make this time of year feel extra inspiring. I’ve been having so much fun creating with these new products, and today I’m excited to share the first of many projects coming your way!

Today’s card is also part of the release Instagram Hop, where there’s a $10 gift card prize up for grabs at every stop. It’s such a fun way to celebrate the new collection, and I hope you’ll hop along for a burst of creativity and a chance to win!

This cheerful little card shows off the new Build An Emoji die set in the happiest way, complete with rainbow stripes 🌈and that giggly emoji front and center! The sparkle brings everything to life, giving the whole design that extra bit of joy you can’t help but smile at. Fun fact: the laughing emoji is my most used emoji. 😉😂

FEATURED PRODUCTS - if you love my card & would like to purchase any of the products I've used, I would love for you to shop from my links! I earn a small commission at no cost to you, allowing me to contribute to our finances. I appreciate this gesture more than words can express!

Easy Step by Step instructions:

  • Cut & fold white A2 card base.
  • Treat a Sweet Blush cardstock panel with anti-static powder, then carefully daub embossing ink through stencil 3 from Dotted Diamonds.
  • Gently remove the stencil, cover in iridescent sparkle embossing powder, and heat set.
  • Trim panel to 4" x 5.25", then mount to the card base with foam tape.
  • Trim white cardstock to 3.5" x 4.5", then add a rainbow gradient of 1/4" cardstock strips.
  • Diecut the entire panel with the largest Reflections: Hebrews 11 label die, then mount to the card front with foam adhesive.
  • Diecut all the pieces from Build An Emoji, ink blend the glitter circle in Harvest Gold, then assemble.
  • Heat emboss the main sentiment in Gilded Sparkle, and stamp the secondary in Nocturne.
  • Diecut the word happy with two extra layers, then stack and adhere.
  • Diecut the secondary sentiment with a banner die, and an extra from pink glitter cardstock. Glue together slightly off-center.
  • Arrange the emoji and sentiment elements to the card front as shown.
