I have loved all of the new stamp sets this release at Papertrey Ink. It's been so fun creating for fall, just as school starts up again, and fall is on the horizon. I have a few more cards to share with you today, using new sets for August.
This first card uses the new Enclosed: Leaf stamp set and die along with the Choose Joy stamp set. I die cut my leaf from vellum, embossed the edges a bit with gold embossing powder, the veins with white embossing powder, and then added a second die cut layer, cut from patterned paper.
I LOOOVE the Choose Joy stamp set....it just makes me happy :). I used a sentiment from it and then sweet little flower images around my scallops, which are also from this set.
The darling new Fall Florals stamp set was used on this next card and I just love playing with different color combinations. Really a delightful set to stamp with.
I created a new home card and used the older Holiday Home stamp set to accentuate this theme.
Across the bottom I used the new Keep it Simple: Home stamp set and the older Autumn Adornments set.
I carried the sentiment inside the card and used the new Tucked In: New Home stamp set along with a bit of the Fall Floral set.
Lastly, the Quilted: Autumn stamp set was used on this card....love this sweet set.
After paper-piecing my quilt block, I die cut and stamped my fall foliage and created a little bundle just under the quilt block. The sentiments in this set are perfect for Autumn and every day.
There's so much for you to love and enjoy this month. Happy creating and thanks for visiting!

Joy is a visit to Lilybean! Love every layer, every color combo, every carefully chosen bling! The first card with the vellum leaf sings joy! Couldn't wait to read all the sentiments on your joy stamp set. They're wonderful! 1st of many sets, I hope!

Tell me how it's possible to create such a gorgeous autumn card with pastel colors! And your first card? If Enclosed: Leaf was not on my list, it certainly would be now!

Hi Melissa,
Your cards today reminded me of KINDNESS, GENEROSITY AND
GOOD WILL TOWARDS OTHERS, but then again, when I wrote those words I thought that they describe you to a T! Thanks for making this world a little brighter!!!
Cariños,
María Alba

"Choosing Joy" is just the most inspiring stamp set for me this month, Melissa, and I have been wishing that there were a way to guarantee that it will still be available when ordering time comes around.
If it could have been "PRE-ordered" I would have been stalking the postman already.
It is a joy to see what lovely cards you produced for this release. Thanks for letting me express my thoughts to you.
