It's all things Christmas today as the Papertrey Ink design team shares projects using brand new holiday sets. I love each and every one of them...I know that's no help to you that are trying to narrow down your shopping lists :)...but it's the absolute truth. All of these new products will be available for purchase on September 15th @10PM EST HERE at Papertrey Ink.
My first group of projects uses the new Minute to Make: Holiday Tags stamp set and dies...oh, how I love these things! It's a three or four step process, depending on what detail you'd like to add to your tags, and they are just so much fun to build and customize.
I used Vintage Cream Linen cardstock, Autumn Rose, Ripe Avocado, Pure Poppy, and Dark Chocolate ink. I added a bit of embellishment by adding a stamped and die cut holly berry and leaf image from the new Enclosed: Bell stamp set...also, a must have :).
My envelopes are stamped using an image from the 2010 Holiday Tags stamp set and I've used paper from the Holiday Flourishes and Swirls paper collection and the new Treetops Glisten paper pad. I also used Scarlet Jewel satin and Simply Chartreuse Twill.
Next up is a set of really fun and each wrappings using the new Ribbon Slider Sentiments stamps, dies, and Tags Paper. I love using fabric in my paper-crafting and have done so here.
All I did was die cut my Ribbon Sliders, some were pre-printed, some I hand stamped, and then cut coordinating strips from fabric and Chicken Scratch Gingham paper.
I then layered my strips, offsetting them a bit to add dimension and character. I added in a few strips of glitter tape as well, embellishing with aqua and white sequins.
Next, I stapled my layers together and tucked them up underneath the trimmings across the top of my glassine bag.
This is a hand stamped slider, using the Tags Paper, die, and images from the Ribbon Sliders set along with the Make it Market Mini Kit: Holiday Folk and Topiary Trio sets.
This is a pre-printed slider, die cut from the Tags Paper pad. So much fun and very unique.
This fun little project was created using the new In the Bag stamp set and coordinating die. I cut two of the bag die so I could actually create a bag to either fill and give as a gift, or hang on the tree with the gift card or small package inside.
I stamped my sentiment from the In the Bag stamp set on a die cut Tremendous Tag, accenting with images from the Make it Market Mini Kit: Holiday Folk and Topiary Trio stamp sets. I created my bag using paper from the Treetops Glisten paper pad and the Holiday Flourishes and Swirls paper collection.
I embellished the front of my bag using an image from the new Deck the Halls stamp set, using Scarlet Jewel and Ocean Tides ink. I created a handle for my bag using Scarlet Jewel satin ribbon.
Lastly, I used the new Christmas Tree Change Up stamp set and die to create a tag. I die cut my tree from vellum and embossed using Zing Blush and Stampendous Shabby Green Embossing Enamel.
I stamped my sentiment on a strip of white cardstock using Ocean Tides ink and embellished the ends using image from the Make it Market Mini Kit: Holiday Folk.
The star at the tip of the tree was also cut from vellum and embossed with silver powder.
I wanted my tag to be dimensional, so I folded the center between the two side of the tree, upwards inside the two layers. It is layered over a die cut Fancy Flake.
I then created a tag using the Jar Label die, the Friendship Jar: Fall Fillers, the 2010 Holiday Tags, Make it Market Mini Kit: Holiday Folk, and Topiary Trio stamp sets.
These new products make creating for the holidays so much fun! There's more to see on the blogs listed below. Thanks for visiting.

Hi Melissa,
This time I was dreading to see your blog, just for the fact that I KNEW it would entice me to buy much more, and as I expected I AM GOING TO BUY MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! I could think of a million reasons not to, the sets that I got last year that I haven't used yet and swore that I would this time, the fact that I am going to be broke again, to name a few, but when all is seen and it's time to place the order, these excuses go out the window for an impractical woman such as me!
I will be broke and sad because I am broke, but it will not be enough of a deterrent from me to take away my happiness when I receive the package and start playing with it! Your creations are as always SCRUMPTILICIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Do you think that if I stand on the highway with a little can that says PTI ORDER somebody will take pity on me? Just saying!!!
Cariños,
María Alba

Fantabulous! Everything is Gorgeous!

Wonderful projects! It's great to know that the wreath from Deck the Halls is such a great size to work with the In the Bag die. And cutting the tree out of vellum is a really beautiful and it's clever the way you used the base of that die to add dimension instead of just cutting off that square. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
