signature series showcase...

Me again....back with more Papertrey Ink new stamping delectables.  Tonight's group post focuses on Dawn McVey's new Signature Series stamp sets...perfectly perfect for card makers.  I have always loved Dawn's beautiful handwriting and enjoy the fact that Papertrey Ink offers several stamp sets in her wonderful script....and now....more x 4....but with an extra trendy, powerful punch.

We were asked to choose one of the Signature Series sets to focus on and create a tag and card....I immediately and kind of selfishly snatched up  the Dress Form set...I love it's elegant, shabby, timeless appeal.

The tag I created comes with a little jacket to keep it cozy and safe...the sleeve is a small glassine bag embellished with paper and trimmings while the inner tag uses Papertrey Ink's Fillable Frames #4 and Mat Stack 4 dies...vintage buttons...and of course the sweetest sentiment ever...from Dawn's set...I love her clever, carefree way with words.

The card uses the same elements and together a fun, sweet, and shabby ensemble is ready to share.  I couldn't resist adding bitty adhesive pearls along the neckline....very Audrey Hepburn-esque.

You'll notice more Banner Builder dies used across the top of teh card and on teh bag.  Melissa Frances and October Afternoon paper was used here along with Memrie Mare's scrunched seam binding.

Three other Signature Series sets are available...a butterfly, flower, and cupcake...each with different sentiments and coordinating dies.  I'm a little bit in love, yes siree.

I'm off to do some browsing of my favorite girl's blogs...will you join me?

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

Thanks for visiting....I feel like watching a sappy, cheesy flick on the Hallmark channel tonight...anyone else?

I have a network of wonderful ladies that have helped my mum and me along the way, and nothing would be better than these. Of course mine will come out nothing like yours (no matter how I try), but thank you for the inspiration.

[Bev]

I wasn't interested in this set at all until I saw what you have done with it. I love the black paper you used and the look of all of it. It's good to recall just how lovely pink and black can be together. Thank you for your beautiful inspiration.

[Becky Elliott]

Melissa, your blog and your creations make my heart smile! How I love to scroll through it every day and immerse myself in the beauty I find there!! Thanks so much for sharing your heart and your sweet creations with us!

[Jingle]

This is gorgeous!

[mamajulie]

Stunning as usual. The dress form stamp and die were at the top of my PTI order this month, and you've taken them to a higher dimension. Congratulations.

[Joanna]

I love those frames! The dress form card and the "treasure" card
are just stunning!! I LOVE how you
use "music" in so many of your
creations. Do you have a small
stamp of music or just cut from a
large stamp? I must start doing
that - I'm a pianist so I really
Love it! It adds so much to your
unique work! Thanks as always for
sharing one of your loves!

[Alice W.]

[mabaco]
