Here we are at day 3 of the Papertrey Ink September countdown! This month you'll notice that Christmas sets are making an appearance to give you plenty of time to start creating for the holidays. Today I am happy to introduce you to two of these new sets, Mistletoe & Holly, and Happiest of Holidays.
This first card uses the holly image and beautiful sentiments from the Mistletoe & Holly. I used the new Limeade Ice ink here along with Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, and Sweet Blush. I paired this new set with an older but much loved set, Vintage Ornaments, coordinating die and In the Meadow die collection to create my soft, patterned paper snow banks across the bottom of the card.
I combined the two new sets here on this next pair of projects...gift tags and embellished gift bags.
I used silver and gold embossing powder the Mistletoe & Holly set, Dark Chocolate ink for the sentiments which come from both sets, and a bit of Classic Kraft across the bottom using the Polka Dot Basics stamp set.
You can catch a glimpse at the fun, new Loop de Loop border die across the top of both bags....gonna wear this thing right out!
I can't think of a more beautiful font than the one used on this lovely new set...I'm a sucker for scripts and scrolls and anything that appears to have a story behind it.
You can catch another glimpse of a new product here on this bag, the new Bits & Buttons set....so playful and versatile! The tags were die cut using the Tag Sale #4 and I used the Fabulous Frames die to embellish the top of both bags...such a handy die collection to have around.
My last card uses both of these new sets combined once again. I embellished the stamped mistletoe with upside down hearts from the Heart-2-Heart #5 set and then coated them in a bit of glitter and added cream adhesive pearls.
This sentiment is stamped in Classic Kraft ink with Simply Chartreuse and Pure Poppy ink used on the mistletoe and Smokey Shadow ink used on the sentiment from the Happiest of Holidays sentiment below.
I used the Edgers #2 die across the bottom and love the delicate touch it brings to the card.
I'm so glad you stopped by! For more peeks at new sets being released on the 15th, visit the following blogs:
I"ll be back again tomorrow with more Papertrey Ink projects.

I was thinking of passing up the loop de loop die, but seeing it in white as you used it today-it's a definite purchase! I love all of your projects today, Melissa. White, silver, and gold is the perfect color combo for anything Christmas-especially when it's embossed!

Sweet gorgeous projects! Love the gold and silver embossing and think I might need to get some new embossing powders for Christmas this year! :) Thanks as always for such lovely inspiration!

These are wonderful! I don't think it occurred to me to use TWO sentiments in two colors of ink before. I'm off to try it!!
