Tomorrow will be the last day of the countdown and the ALL-NEW Papertrey stamps will be available tomorrow night at midnight EST. I am so excited for you to see all of these images. They are just so versatile!
Today I thought I would focus on all the bits & pieces I included in these sets besides borders. Each of the five new sets contain 6-8 itty bitty images. Some of you may ask why I created images that are so small? Well the answer is quite simple. More versatility! I had several ideas for borders when I concepted these sets back in January. But I wasn’t going to have the room to fit ALL of them on the stamp sheets. So I decided to follow through with the remainder of my ideas, but break them down into small pieces. The beauty of this concept is that you can add the same border to any of the 5 scalloped shapes. You can even use them with things OTHER scallops, or other brands/ types of shapes.
I decided to work with an oval this morning. I like to stamp my image/ sentiment first and then invert my punch to punch it out.
I then added the border detail with the itty bitty stamp. It was so easy since the scallops pre-determine your spacing for you.
I added a little paper piercing in each of the accent images that make up the border and added some ribbon and a flower accent. Instant cute & simple card! I love how these borders make beautiful cards with just a simple sentiment added. It really helps to bring it to center stage.
I thought I would share some other borders I built with some additional itty bitty images that are included in the five sets. The possibilities are so endless since you can turn the stamps inward or outward for two different looks. There is truely something for every style…
All border samples use Marvy giga scalloped punches
Supplies for card:
Ink: Water Lily green Palette Ink, Aloe Vera Vers Magic, Versamark
Paper: White from Papertrey Ink, blue from Bazzill
Stamps: sentiment from Green Thumb, all images from Papertrey Ink
Other: seam binding ribbon from Martha Stewart, plastic flower from Heidi Grace, brad from Chatterbox
They all look super cute!! I can’t wait to see the new sets!
OMGosh, Nicole, your work is outstanding!! I’m so inspired!
I’ve been stalking this post! 🙂 LOVE these little stamps….gorgeous! Little stamps can be so hard to use but these work perfectly and are SO darling! I know where I’ll be Sunday morning…back at your store.
These are all so great!!!! I just knew you were going to make me get them all!
WOW! I think I like these itty bitty stamps even better than the borders you’ve shown us!
I’ve decided that not only are you a paper crafting goddess, you are also a marketing genious. Seriously, you show it to me and what you’ve done with it, and now I want it. You could show me the great things that can be done with dirt, with a 5 day countdown and I’d be sitting there at midnight on the 15th ready to buy special dirt.
Nichole…absolutely LOVE these! You have the most brilliant ideas and inspire so many of us!
WOW, love these and the card is so simple and elegant.
OK, I just bought the stuff I needed from Ellen H’s store and I saved enough money to get ALL the sets from you tomorrow night.
WAHOOOOO!!!!! Bring it on.
I’m with Jenny on the fact that I would buy the dirt too. Just too cute!!!! I can hardly wait until tomorrow at midnight!!!!!!!!!!
Wow – those stamps look awesome! I know where my money is going this weekend. Glad I already have the punches! Can’t wait for the new stamps to be unveiled.

I have a question does each set have different small images…… I know the answer is YES. So now I need all 5. I can only hope I can afford them all.

Incredible!!! One of the things I enjoy in stamping are things that coordinate and work well together, so I can’t tell you how excited I am about the unveiling of your new stamps!
Okay, so I have been waiting to purchase more punches to go with these sets until the new sets were available, but after seeing all of these cute designs, I am in serious financial trouble. Your stuff is so great, and your marketing skills are fantastic. What great concepts, I cannot wait to buy them all! I guess that means I better not wait to buy the punches either, spread the love so the DH doesn’t freak…hee hee
I recently received my first PaperTrey stanmps and I love them, can’t wait to see the new releases!!
Oh wow, I am in love. These are the cutest stamps ever. I will be buying these pronto when they are available. Can’t wait!
