Welcome to Day 1 of the September Papertrey Ink Release. What a great way to start off a Monday, huh? This month is just loaded with the most beautiful products...let's get started with today's highlights. My first card uses the new Sweet Stitching stamp set and Cover Plate along with the new Say it Simply: You & Yours Die.
I used Vintage Cream cardstock withy Sweet Stitching Cover Plate and layered it over some red and black patterned paper. Around the edges of the die cut I stamped images from the Sweet Stitching stamp set in Pure Poppy ink. I then cut a block of black cardstock and melted embossing enamel over it before using the Say it Simply: You & Yours die. I only used a portion of the die cut and adhered it to the center of my card.
Next I used the new Sentiment Staples: Christmas stamp set to add more to my sentiment, stamping in Olive Twist Ink. I embellished my card with holly berries stamped and die cut using the new Merry Mug stamp set, stamping in Prairie Grass and Americana. The corners were embellished using Snowfall Style dies and white glitter cardstock.
This next card uses the sweet, Merry Mug stamp set and coordinating dies. I am smitten with this sweet set! I stamped my mug in Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, and Mint Julep ink, with the whipped cream stamped in Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, and Hibiscus Burst.
I embellished with tiny holly leaves and berries once again, stamping in Limeade Ice and Pure Poppy. In the background you can see more of the Sweet Stitching stamp set, stamped in Hawaiian Shores on Aqua Mist cardstock.
You can also catch a glimpse of the new Pierced Feature Frames: Oval....these are must haves for sure!
Across the bottom of my card I used Bitty Big Pale Peony. This is one of my favorite color combinations for the holidays.
All of these new products will be available for purchase on September 15th, 10PM EST at Papertrey Ink. There's plenty more to see on the Papertrey Ink blog.
Thanks for visiting.

Vintage wonderful, Melissa! The embossing treatment on the word die, pure delight! And love the peek-a-boo plaid windows you created on that holiday card. Sweet, sweet mug too!

Love both cards but my favorite is the first one with the red and black check peeking through the quilt pattern. Not sure I'd have thought to give that combo a try but it definitely works. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

Your snowflake card is wonderful. It as a very rustic flavor and color. Of course the cup card is impressive.
