Morning! Today marks the final day of Papertrey Ink's November release. I'm sad that it's over but anxious to keep stamping! My first project today uses the new Direct Messages stamp set. I am still in holiday mode and wanted to use one of the sentiments to create a Christmas tag that I've attached to a gift created with the Pillow Box die.
I stamped me sentiment in Americana ink on a banner cut from Kraft cardstock using the Double Ended Banner die. It's layered over a tinier tag, created with dies and stamps from a new kit you'll soon be hearing lots about, the Good Tidings kit by Rebecca Luminarias. It's so sweet and wonderful!
You can see a sneak peek at a new stitching die that will soon be available too....you know me and primitive stars! Love this particular die :).
And, lastly today, I have created a card using the fun, new This Just In stamp set and coordinating dies along with the new Sunburst Stencils. They are gorgeous!
My card base is Stormy Sea cardstock and my stenciling was done in Ocean Tides and Stormy Sea ink. I love the way it looks all put together. My microphone was cut from Fine Linen ink and was stamped in True Black, Stormy Sea, Soft Stone, and the base stamped in Saffron Spice.
I used the new Keep it Simple: Congratulations stamp set across the bottom. This set is so playful and perfect for lots of different masculine occasions.
Plenty more on Nichole's blog. Thanks for your visit!

The tag is tugging my heart... must case for CAWU. Gorgeous. And yes, the microphone is darling and retro and layered, all things I adore, but that tag... ~sigh~
