So glad you're here...tonight marks the first Papertrey Ink group post for March. We're spotlighting the new Postmarks set...and you're going to LOVE it! The creative minds of Nichole Heady, Mish Wooderson, and Betsy Veldman got together and came up with one of my all time favorite sets here. To say I have a "thing" for it is an understatement...I find myself pulling it out over and over again...just to sneak an image in here, there, in this corner, across the bottom...you'll catch my drift I'm sure....maybe you'll suffer from the same predicament yourself .
Our assignment was to show how the Postmarks set could be used for all sorts of wonderful occasions...I chose "Baby Girl" and created a canvas tag that is packaged in an altered glassine bag...they are so much fun to dress up and make the presentation even more special.
Along with the Postmarks set I used the new Label Basics set and coordinating Angled Lables die.
The Postmarks set has a coordinating Postmark die so you can cut out as many sweet little stamps as you can handle...love it! You can also catch a glimpse of the Flower Fusion #2 and Sending You dies here...I've decided that ratty, old cardboard is the most beautiful thing on earth right now....you can die cut it, paint it, emboss it, glitter it....pure heaven for this girl.
The Postmarks set is filled with vintage images...I love every one of them and have had so much fun creating this little ensemble for you.
Let's go see what the other girls have up their sleeves...I've been waiting and waiting for this night as they are all so inspiring.
Betsy Veldman, Dawn McVey, Heather Nichols, Lisa Johnson, Mish Wooderson, Danielle Flanders, Maile Belles, Erin Lincoln, Jess Witty, and Nichole Heady.
Thanks for visiting!

SO gorgeous, Melissa...I love how you grouped those beautiful stamps in a little cluster for your focal point. Gotta tell you that the day that I am waiting for is TOMORROW! I can't wait to see your new little mini tag set, eeeeek! When I saw "designed with Melissa Phillips" my heart skipped a beat. My only other wish this year? Seeing some Melissa flair for a CHRISTMAS set? Pretty please :)?
