it's a banner day...

So happy to be with you tonight...to share my love of some brand-new, ultra-irresistible Papertrey Ink products...

This group post is all about a new stamp set called Banner Builder complete with coordinating dies to make it so easy and enjoyable to create banners for any occasion.

I chose to create a Winter Bliss banner to hang throughout the winter months....the dies take all of the hard work out of creating and then of course the fun begins with adding stamps, trims, glitter, dies, tags, and other toppings.

Let me pause here for a moment and just say that my very most favorite part of this collection are the banner toppers....ohhhh, be still my heart...4 different styles and all so darling.

I used oodles of other Papertrey Ink products on this such as the Limitless Layers die collection for the medallions cut from sewing patterns, felt snowflakes using the Peace Be Still die collection, Vintage Cream felt, Fine Linen buttons, the Snowflake Serenade and Peace Be Still stamp sets, and other toppings such as velvet leaves, tea stained tags, chipboard letters, vintage sheet music, trims, doilies, and scrunched seam binding.

Can't wait....can't wait to create a banner of another sort...you'll love this collection.

Now...onto the Banner Builder stamp set....A-DOR-A-BLE....

This card uses the stamp set along with the itty, bitty version of the dies....as I stated before, I am in love with the banner toppers...so intricate and sweet....and of course, Nichole is speaking to my heart with the addition of the banner stamp and die that can be trimmed to size and made into a flag, or sentiment banner with curled edges, of simply folded....I worry I may wear out my welcome with this set.

Along with the Banner Builder stamp set, I  used On Ice and Holly Jolly...so much fun to mix and match.

I shall stop my gushing....let's go visit the other designer's blogs...I can't wait to see their amazing mini masterpieces.

Betsy Veldman, Kim Hughes, Erin Lincoln, Maile Belles, Nichole Heady, Lisa Johnson, Dawn McVey, Debbie Olson, Heather Nichols, Michelle Wooderson, and Niki Estes.

Happy, happy PTI group post night.
