Hi everyone! Happy Monday! I'll have two blog posts today and this is the first one! This post kicks off an entire week of inspiration from the October 2017 Papertrey Ink Release that went live last night! MORE holiday and winter themed products to get you well on your way towards having your projects started!! Today I'm sharing two cards featuring two new stamp sets: Sing a Song of Christmas and Ways to Say Christmas! One card is very clean and simple and one is shabby chic vintage. Hope you like them! CLICK HERE to shop the new release!
First up is the Shabby Chic Christmas Card featuring the gorgeous new musical themed stamp set with matching dies. It's called Sing A Song of Christmas! Pretty instruments and very uniquely styled sentiments. I've never seen another stamp set quite like this one. Perfect for the music lovers in your life! I combined some pretty new patterned papers and made a larger size square card.
I used gold heat embossing to make the sentiment really pop! I love gold embossing too, so elegant. This finished card is 5x5 inch square. I layered several papers together and the card base and top layer are cream cardstock.
The matching dies cut the instruments out like a dream. I also gold embossed parts of the cello to make it more vintage and interesting. I stamped a few snowflakes in the background and inked all the edges of my papers. Are you humming a tune now?
My second card features the Ways To Say Christmas Stamp Set. I did a clean and simple card layout and did one layer stamping with some masking, in my favorite shades of greens. I stamped two of the sentiments together to make a nice greeting in rich black.
The leaves are from the formerly released stamp set called Spruce and Sprigs. It's one of my go-to stamp sets for Christmas!!
Thank you so much for coming by today! I'll have Papertrey Ink Inspiration Monday through Friday this week! And I'll have another blog post going live this morning in just a bit. It's nice to see you here and I hope you have an outstanding week! XOXO

Hi Wanda! I too am in love with "Sing a Song"! It's already a fav and have been admiring everyone's creations, including your's ! I love your Spruce and Sprigs card too- and like you, it's a go to at Christmas time. I'm working on a set of cards as I type! Thx for the inspiration! :)

Both cards yum! Like the colors you used on your second card and the first one is so striking.
