Welcome to the third Papertrey Ink group post for November, yep, there will be three group posts each month instead of just two with the third post showing all of our new release projects. Hopefully this will make it much easier for those of you who order to see our ideas the night of the release instead of after. So, here are my last remaining projects for you.
Seeing as how I am listening to Christmas music on Pandora right now, I thought I'd start off with a Christmas card. I used the Mega Mehndi Medallion stamp set on this which you can see peeking through the Cover Plate: Quatrefoil die...that thing is amazing and I know I haven't done it justice here, so you'll have to check out the other designer's projects to see for yourself. I also used a couple of older sets on this card, Christmas Poinsettia with coordinating die, and the Winterberry set.
This card uses the Sweet Winter Penguin set and coordinating dies along with the Pinking Shears border die and Soft Stone Grosgrain.
Another Tiny Tags set, yaay! Nichole designed this new addition and I love what she did with the patterns and sentiments. The set is called Tiny Tags II and I used it along with the original Tiny Tags stamp set and coordinating dies, Smokey Shadow Grosgrain, Pure Poppy buttons, and Baker's Twine.
This card uses the new Stitches & Swirls and Glory Be stamp sets along with Heart Print and Block Alphabet dies, and Soft Stone Swiss Dot Satin. The paper is from the Simple Valentine collection and the Pure Poppy felt was cut using the Medium Scalloped Border die.
This gift card set uses the new Background Basics: Circles, Mega Mehndi Medallion, and Flower Fusion #10 with coordinating die.
The pouch was made using a large glassine bag and the Front & Center die from last month's release...still in love with it. The ribbon is Summer Sunrise Grosgrain, felt is Vintage Cream, and ink is the new Aqua Mist.
I used my i-top button and brad maker here too.
This little gift box uses the Tag-Its #10 set along with Pure Poppy Baker's Twine and Satin.
Birthday Sucker Tags made using the Birthdays By the Numbers and Stitches & Swirls stamp sets, Bells & Boughs, Limitless Layers 1 3/4" and Tag Sale #5 dies. The ribbon is Sweet Blush Swiss Dot Satin and Lavender Moon Grosgrain.
This last card uses the new Willow and Think Big Favorites #10 stamp sets along with the Banner Builder die collection.
The scrunched seam binding is from My Craft Spot, and the glitter on the tree is Ranger Stickles.
I'll be back to add links to the new stamp sets once they're ready on the homepage.

I just LOVE seeing what you do every time I come here. I often turn to you to see what you've done with a set that I like, but am not sure how to apply to my own style (read: penguins!), and you always give me so many ideas and show me how to think outside my own box. All of your projects are beautiful!! I was looking at the first picture thinking "oh, that is so gorgeous" and then I went to the second one and thought "No, THAT one is my favourite" and then the next one was the best, and so on and so forth... You're a constant source of inspiration for me!
