Love All Ways...

Today we have a group post for you previewing lots of fun new "love-themed" stamps and dies coming out on December 15th at Papertrey Ink, so let's get started!

The first two projects are made with Valentine Pin-Ups stamps and dies/kit!

These cute little bags and clothespins are in the kit with fun little characters you can cut out or stamp.

Everything was pre-made here and quick to put together. The only item I made myself from scratch was the "Hey, Foxy" tag, which was die cut and stamped. Super cute way to give a Valentine!

Valentine Gift Bags:
STAMPS: Valentine Pin-Ups ki
INK: Pure Poppy, Hibiscus Burs
PAPER: Sweet Blush, Valentine Pin-Ups kit
DIES: Valentine Pin-Ups kit
OTHER: none.

Next is a card stamped with the Valentine Pin-Ups stamps, which could be used for an anniversary card, love card, etc.

To create the heart shape, I used the new Enclosed: Heart die, cut out a heart and used the negative to stamp the little shapes inside. I started with the sentiment in the center first, then filled in with the green stems, then the colorful flowers...and last the hearts.

Introducing Petite Places: Barnyard...

For today's group post, we are sharing a new stamp set and dies called Petite Places: Barnyard created by Betsy Veldman! These new stamps and dies will be available on December 15th at 10pm EST at Papertrey Ink. I've made a quick little tag that could be used along with a homemade jar of jam or home baked goods!

The background is cut with the previously released Mega Mat Stack 1 die, then stamped with the checkered stamp from On The Farm stamps. The square background is stamped with On The Farm also. Then I used the barn, silo, sentiment and fence from the new Petite Places: Barnyard set and the new Barnyard Sentiments set!

Farm Fresh Tag:

STAMPS: Barnyard Sentiments, Petite Places: Barnyard, On the Farm

INK: Classic Kraft, True Black, Stormy Seas, Pure Poppy

PAPER: White

Well, that is a quick and easy tag for you to give with a fresh jar of jam or home baked goods for someone special. If you are looking for more farm fresh ideas, check back to THIS POST also!

Gem Inspirations...

Today we are back with another preview of some new products being released at Papertrey Ink this month on the 15th at 10pm EST! I'm showcasing the new You're a Gem stamps and dies.

First up is a quick one where I die cut the new Cover Plate: Gem Stone from white cardstock and placed it over the top of a piece of Classic Kraft cardstock. I used You're A Gem stamps in the center and a couple of die cut jewels.

The little clear stones are the Rainstones from the Papertrey Ink boutique. Had to add a bit of sparkle!

Inside the Rare card, it's stamped with a new set called Tucked In: Anniversary.

True Love Is Rare card:

STAMPS: You're a Gem, Tucked In: Anniversary

INK: Dark Chocolate, Classic Kraft

PAPER: White, Classic Kraft

DIES: Cover Plate: Gem Stone

OTHER: Rainstones.

-------

Next is a card where I used a thick White Tag Cardstock and simply embossed the Cover Plate: Gem Stone onto white cardstock, then added some stamping with You're a Gem.
