knit bits...

I'm back with more new stamp sets being released this month from Papertrey Ink.  All of the new release items will be available for purchase at 10PM EST on November 15th at Papertrey Ink.  Today's group post showcases the new Knit Bits and Purls of Wisdom stamp sets....both with the cozy, homespun feel I love. I created a card and tag set for the new baby using both of these stamp sets combined with the new Shape Up Series:  Sweater die.

I created the tag using the In Stitches die and stamped the sentiments and images using Classic Kraft, Hibiscus Burst, and Sweet Blush.  The flower at the bottom is from the Stitched Sentiments set showcased in my last post.

I attached the tag to a small glassine bag that fits right inside the Sweater card.  If I could knit, I would make a crocheted flower and create a sweet headband for the new baby....I can't knit, so for now, use your imagination :)

The card was cut using Fine Linen cardstock and the new Sweet Blush Polka Dot paper.  

I used a tiny baby sweater belonging to my little girl as my inspiration and noticed that on her sweater the cable only went part way up, so I used the Knit Bits stamp and Sweet Blush ink over the patterned paper to recreate her sweet, little sweater.  Vintage trim down the center as well as Sweet Blush and Vintage Cream buttons add more detail as well as a Vintage Cream felt heart cut using the Heart Prints die collection.

I stamped a sentiment from the Purls of Wisdom stamp set down the fold using Classic Kraft ink, hearts across the bottom from the Knit Bits stamp set using Hibiscus Burst ink, and secured the bundle together using Vintage Cream Saddle Stitch ribbon.  

I can't wait to see what the other girls have created to share with you:

• Dawn McVey
• Betsy Veldman
• Ashley Cannon Newell
• Maile Belles
• Jessica Witty

How absolutely adorable your sweater card is. I wish I could put into words what it is that sets your work apart from everything else I see but I just love your style so much. I guess its the shabby chic thing or something!
