I was asked to create a few projects using the new Papertrey Ink Little Princess stamp set which will be released on the 15th of December. I was excited to get to use this set as I have a little princess of my own and love making things that remind me of her.
I created a tag for this first project using the Little Princess stamp set and coordinating die and layered it on a Tag-Sale #4 die. The sentiments included in the set make it easy to make party invitations, birthday cards, and love notes for your little lady.
I'm happy to show you another little something that will be released on the 15th as well. A few months back I submitted an idea to Nichole for a fun loopy flower die that would make creating bows and flowers for gifts or cards very simple and quick. So...meet the new Loopsy Daisy Die Collection. I created the flower above using the smaller die, newsprint paper, and trim...it came together in minutes. You'll love how each flower or bow takes on its own personality from shabby to funky, whimsical to elegant...lots of fun to get creative with.
I used the Little Princess stamp and die collection on this next card and matching envelope to create something suitable for a Valentine or for the newlyweds. You can see peeks at the new Love & Marriage stamp set here as well.
I used the Edgers #3 die on the bottom of the card cut from Vintage Cream cardstock, followed by the castle all dressed up in pinks and reds with a Fresh Snow Topnotch Twill bow to finish it off.
I added glitter to the hearts shaped windows and tied a tag stamped with a sentiment from the Love & Marriage set to the center of the bow. You can see in the background a stamped heart with beautiful script running across it...also from the Love & Marriage set.
The coordinating Vintage Cream envelope uses the sweet castle across the base stamped in pink from the solid image and red from the outlined image. I die cut a tag to attach to the front using the new Layerz Mat Stack 4 die and stamps from the Love & Marriage, Tag-Its #11, and 2008 Holiday Tag sets.
Lastly...I was having visions of gingerbread houses with this one as Christmas is right around the corner and I wanted to create something in a holiday theme. I used the new Little Princess stamp set along with the Candy Cane Christmas set.
The card was made using Vintage Cream cardstock and the new Mega Mat Stack 4 and Layerz Mat Stack 4 dies. The glittered roof tops are made from Vintage Cream felt topped with white glitter.
I attached holly berry leaves cut using Simply Chartreuse felt and the Holly Jolly die collection and then added a row of hearts cut using the new Heart Border die and Pure Poppy felt.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Nichole Heady and Heather Nichols have some fun projects to share with you as well showcasing new release sets.
P.S. I tried a new recipe last night called Applesauce Oatmeal Bread...I turned them into muffins instead and they are simple delicious!
Pure prettiness!
Every time i see YOUR creations i want to get it all from PTI!
Thank you!

I am in love with the 'My Little Princess' card. I would love to make something like this for my little girl. She was very ill lately but is ok now. This card just reminds me of how precious our little ones are and how we should cherish every moment. I always find myself in awe of every tiny detail of your work, it is truly exquisite. You are a very talented lady,
