papertrey ink november...

Hello again.  It's time to wrap up Papertrey Ink's November release.  All of these new products will be available for purchase on November 15th, 10PM EST right HERE.

My first project today uses the new Mat Stack 7 Basics stamp set.  I combined it with a Stitched Tag and created a fun pocket tag to give to someone sweet.  I love these basic sets as they are always so much fun to customize to my own style and theme.  I used Crate Paper's Open Book collection and a bit of Freckled Fawn on this project.

Pom Pom Pals is an adorable new set meant to add a fun twist to your stamping, such as pom poms for earmuffs, a nose, and hat.  Lots of other options are available too, a jingle bell, button, enamel dot, sequin, etc.

I thought my little winter snowman needed some soft, aqua pom poms to keep him warm, so that's what I used this time around :).

I love the playful, whimsical feel of this set, not just with the images, but also in the font.

I created a fun holiday thank you gift using the new Fair Isle Motifs stamp set...truly beautiful, and Dawn McVey's new Holiday Thank You set.

I have tried to help my little girl understand the importance of writing thank you notes for all occasions, so this set will be an added help in that department.  She loves to stamp, so maybe this will inspire all of us.

The Birthday Classics:  December stamp set and new Cover Plate:  Peony Die were used on this simple holiday card.

This Cover Plate die is so elegant.  I'm excited to put it to use on many other things.

And, believe it or not...the New Year will be here before we know it, so Heather has created a fun new Happy New Year stamp set, which I used with the new Monthly Moments:  Journal Card 6 die.  

I added different colors of felt behind each banner to bring in some texture, and used the new Keep it Simple:  New Year set across the bottom.

Lastly, the Phrase Play #10 stamp set and die were used on this card.  I love the Monthly Moments:  November Journal Card Pad, so I made a quick card using it and a few other supplies here.

The sentiments in Phrase Play #10 are some of my favorites.  

That's it for me for this release.  I've listed all of the supplies used on my cards below.  Thanks so much for visiting!

Melissa your projects are always so beautiful and really grab my eye. The reason I find this funny is that I am more of a distress, Tim Holtz, type of gal. I have pinned several of your projects this month to take inspiration from. Thanks!

All the projects are beautifully created. The snowman card is a favorite for me, so whimsical with soft winter shades. Did you buy the jingle bell glittered or did you do that step yourself?

Thanks for your inspiration Melissa!

[Diana K]

So beautiful! That Christmas thank you tag is so awesome done in those beautiful colours.

[Janet Wilson]

Melissa - I 'll be honest and say I'm a CAS card maker but whenever I visit your blog I'm astounded by your style - I could never hope to put together such beautiful projects (they would certainly resemble a dog's dinner - LOL).

I've decided to take it easy and just pick out one or two elements - to start with. Thank you for sharing your amazing and unique talent :-)

[Sue N]

Melissa, all of your projects are wonderful, as always! I so LOVE your Pom Pom Snowman card, with all of the layers, accents, everything! And you gave me such a good idea for a card for my SIL's birthday (Dec. 25) with your peony card! She detests poinsettias, because she got so many cakes with them on it, so your embossed peony panel is PERFECT!! Thanks for your inspiration.

[Patricia Molnar]

I love the Winter Wishes card and the little pom poms for ear muffs! Great release!

[Marilyn in Michigan]

Such beautiful cards, Melis! Love the white embossed pom pom snowman.

Beautiful projects, Melis! I especially love the holiday thank you gift.

[Gabby]

Great projects, Melissa! LOVE the cards and the treat bag. Cute, cute snowman pom pom card. Love the Dec b.d. card. The red emb panel looks so nice w/your other layers and embellishments. Like the way you used the new monthly moments journal die. And the thank you gift/card. Oh, just everything is a wonder. :D
