papertrey ink october...

Much more to share with you today, so let's get started.  Papertrey Ink has some beautiful new stamp sets this month.  This first card uses the new Boutique Borders:  Thinking of You and Rustic Wreath sets.

I used the coordinating Boutique Borders:  Thinking of you die here as well as some older collections.  All supplies are listed for you below.

The Rustic Wreath set is SO pretty...it speaks to my shabby, chippy, weather beaten, homespun, cozy heart.

This card uses the Rustic Wreath set and coordinating die as well.

I used the new Loop de Loop II Border die across the bottom....smitten with this sweet thing too.

The 2013 Holiday Tags stamp set it so much fun and so beautiful.  I used it here along with layers of the new Stitched Snowflake die, which was stamped using the new Background Basics:  Christmas Joy set, and a Fancy Flake die stamped using the Polka Dot Basics set.

I attached it to my little stocking using a clothespin and scrunched seam binding from Craft Spot.

I used the new 'Tis the Season Sentiments and Background Basics:  Evergreens set on my mitten tag.

More Fancy Flakes and Loop de Loop II Border dies along with a Tremendous Tag and stamped Fancy Flourish.

And lastly, the Wonderful Words:  Snow stamp set was used on this card along with the Stitched Snowflake, die, Confetti Garland Borders stamp set and die,  and Tag Sale #8 die.

This has been such a fun month...I'm kind of starting to look forward to the holidays once again...kinda :).

These cards and tag are so cute! You have a good start on your holiday creations.

Melissa, just as I decide I don't really need any of the new products 'cuz they aren't quite my style, I land on your post and, oh your sweet creativity just makes me happy and makes me think, I could use them to do that? OK, put them in the cart...thanks for always putting your shabby, homespun beautiful touch on your projects!

[JeanFB]

Wow! I adore the homespun look of your projects - the kraft either as the main event or little accents - and always with a healthy dose of white and light. My very favorites, as always. Thanks, Melis!
