I'm worn right out tonight but won't be able to post for a couple of days, so I thought I'd post my Papertrey Ink release projects for you before I disappear for a little bit. So many sweet and unique sets to enjoy and explore.
We'll start with the Shape Up Snowman Accessories set...goodness, who can resist it?
The Shape-Up Series: Snowman die is irresistible and I just love that the stamp set is ready and waiting to easily add character and your own special touches.
I used the Think Big Favorites #9 set to add the sentiment down the side of my wooden block. I love these large font sets so much.
Next up is a beautiful little set...Christmas Poinsettia, complete with coordinating dies and the most lovely sentiments.
I used the Front & Center #1 die to create a gift pocket to hold some vintage items to present as a gift for Christmas. I can't say enough about the Front & Center die...such a fun, fun, fun concept.
Now onto a set designed by Heather, Winterberry...I adore her sets. They have that country, cozy, homespun feel to them that really appeals to me.
I mixed in colorful, festive words cut using the new Wonderful Words: Holiday die collection...very addicting I tell you.
The sweet Tremendous Treats: Christmas set is filled with darling images.
This month holds some of the most beautiful religious sets I have ever seen...this first card uses the Star of Wonder set.
I mixed in a few elements from the Nativity Silhouettes and Nativity Silhouettes Additions sets.
This card also uses the Nativity Silhouettes and Nativity Silhouettes Additions sets.
The new Gift Card Greetings die makes it so easy to create personalized and unique gifts this holiday season. I used the Tag-Its #9 set on this.
Now onto a set that can be used year-round...the new Flower Fusion #9 set in conjunction with the Front & Center #1 die again.
The tags were cut using the Mega Mat Stack 3 and Layerz Mat Stack 3 dies.
And lastly, a perfect addition to the October release, the Faith & Hope set with coordinating die. I love this set.
I'm sorry to be short on words tonight, but please know how thankful I am for your visits and kind words.
I've listed all of the supplies used on each of these projects in my Papertrey Ink October gallery but if you have any questions, please send me a note and I'll answer just as soon as I can.
Night.
