So another countdown has begun! For those of you new here, today marks the beginning of a five-day blogging blitz in which I will share little sneak peeks of the the stamp sets being released on October 15th by Papertrey Ink. The stamps used in the projects over the next few days will be available to purchase at 12am EST October 15th. If you want to join the party, there will be some chit chat going on HERE in the Papertrey Forum.
The first set that I am going to introduce you to today is one based on THIS free digital kit. The set is very conducive to layering, which I just LOVE! The super fun part is that you can always make the decision to layer or not to layer.
Here is a sample using just the linear floral images from the set. A really artsy feel.
One of my favorite things to do with these types of images is stamp with dye ink and use a water pen to trace all the lines.
It creates a really soft effect.
Here is a sample using just the solid floral images from the set. I think this is more organic looking.
And of course, the two combined. Lots of detail & depth.
When you compare the three different results, they all look SO different. It is such a treat to be able to get so many looks from one stamp set.
Here are the finished projects using the above samples:
Linear Images Only
Solid Images Only
Linear & Solid Combination. So which look do you like best?
I wanted to note that most likely my post tomorrow will not be up until mid afternoon. I need to prepare tonight for a television spot I have on a local mid-day talk show tomorrow. For those of you who are local, it is Talk of the Town, Nashville WTVF, channel 5 @ 11:30am. Wish me luck!
EDITED TO ADD: We have been made aware of the grammar error in the sentiment used on this project. I take complete responsibility for the mistake and am blushing from head to toe! LOL! Manufacturing has already been completed, so we are having the correct sentiment manufactured separately. I will provide more details as they become available. Other than this small error, I promise that this set is amazing, and once you see it in it’s entirety, it will be love at first sight!
SUPPLIES:
INK- Rose Red, Purely Pomegranate, Old Olive & Always Artichoke Classic Inks from SU!
STAMPS- Papertrey Ink
PAPER- Confetti Cream, Rose Red, Always Artichoke from SU!
OTHER- Ticket Corner Punch (SU!), brads (Paper Studio), water pen (EK Success)
Nichole, All 3 cards are beautiful! The designs are stunning and can not wait to see what is coming on the 15th. See you on the 14th for NEW stamps 🙂

Uh-oh, you have a typo in your sentiment. It should be “Bloom Where You’re Planted” (you are–not your). Can that be fixed before you ship them?
Love all the Papertrey sets! They are just so beautiful! Nichole – I’m curious, though, on the grammar of the sentiment…is it meant to say “Bloom where you’re planted” instead of your?
I love this technique! I have a question, isn’t it Bloom where you’re planted? I think you may have used your incorrectly? Hope I am wrong!

Ooops! I see it’s been brought up! Sorry Nichole it is the teacher in me!

I reall like the 3rd card the best with the combo. But really all of the cards are beautiful!
Darn it, and just when I thought I was “set” with stamps for a while…..luckily these are easy to store!
I am sure Nichole will find a solution for the typo! Even if we all order our set she can mass produce that sentiment alone and send them out individually at a later date…or not. I always tell my mom to ‘Grow where you are planted” because she does not like where she lives right now. This would be a great card for her. Loving the set already!
Love it like always!
WOW !!! Your cards are fantastic. I am really loving this set. On holiday in Australia at the moment so I will have to work out the time difference for the release – I cannot miss this one. Well done, Nichole.
Wanted to comment on the typo – But I see it has already been mentioned – hope they fix it as I already “NEED” this set – so pretty!
omigosh, Nichole! I am simply beside myself with anticipation!!! Can’t wait for that release!!! All variations are so pretty! You never cease to amaze!
Oooooh, just beautiful! I think I like the 1st one best; GOOD LUCK on your television spot! I wish I was local!
I like the combined Linear and Solid the best. I love this digital kit and can not wait to see the rest of the stamps you have to go with it, simply wonderful!
Good luck with your talk show spot!
I can’t wait for the release.. I love this set.
I already want it. Nicole….I don’t NEED more stamp sets, lol!
Beautiful cards and those stamps are so lovely…they’re just my style. And obviously they make GREAT patterened paper.
Must you continue to torture my wallet? It is crying out for mercy! LOL! I LOVE this set. I hardly have any floral sets because I guess I’ve been waiting for the “right” one. This may be the one!
I LOVE everything you have done and the fact that they come in a light compact case is perfect for me (my family pays $8 a pound to ship to Morocco!) And, hey, my Moroccan friends probably won’t notice the spelling! LOL!
Again, you WOW me! I love the technique with the watercolor pen over the linear images!
Ok, I may have to cave with this set and buy my first PaperTrey Ink set LOL!
i not only whant it, i must have it 🙂 as soon as i come home from the states i will be online and shopping !!!i wish i could see the tv show ,im sure you will do great
I like the 3rd one the best. But I do love them all! Nichole, it looks like you’ve done it again!
I can’t wait to see you on Talk of the Town. Luckily I am off tomorrow and live in Hendersonville!!
Wow that is just beautiful! Can’t wait to see more 🙂
Just beautiful!!
Gorgeous! It’s all gorgeous!
Nichole…..BEAUTIFUL again! What a shocker! (NOT!) Hee, hee! I used your technique of stamping in dye ink and then using it to color in the image with a blender pen on the “Believe” set’s tree. AWESOME idea! Don’t know why I never thought about it….we’re always so worried about it actually RUNNING, that we never thought to use it to our advantage! SUPER! Can’t wait to see all the other sets!
I love it! I would be so excited to win something from your digital contest. I have to be the only person that doesn’t own any papertery stamps yet. I have my fingers, toes, arms, everything crossed until the 15th!
Looks beautiful, as usual. I really like the linear images. Another set to add to my collection. And good luck on t.v. I’m sure you’ll be great.
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see the whole thing.
Love it and can’t wait to get it! Your cards are wonderful!!!
Gorgeous cards, Nichole. You are such an inspiration.
This set looks amazing!! It’s really sad to say, but I have yet to own a PaperTrey set, but this may have to be my first. I do love all the others as well, I really don’t know what I have been waiting for. I visit your blog & the PaperTrey site on a regular basis. I love all the looks you created with this set, but the “organic” may be my favorite!
OMG Nichole! I had NO idea you were “local”. I live and work in Nashville. I’ll definitely have to remember to turn on TOTT tomorrow!
Nicole, another set that knocks my socks off! WOW!
beautiful, nichole!
can’t wait to hear more about your TV spot. 🙂
have a great day!
Beautiful set! I have coloured inside with a waterbrush but never even thought of colouring the line, what a fab idea!! Stunning! I would love this set 🙂
Looks like another one to add to my collection–truly lovely!
Smiles
Love ’em all(esp.2nd & 3rd) can’t wait to get it!
I love them ALL! I love the idea of stamping in dye ink and going over it with the blender pen! I’ll have to give it a try! Can’t wait for you to tell us about your spot on the air! Your so famous now!! LOL!
I love this card it is so beautiful I visit from time to time to look at your tutorials I like they are awesome!
OH, I had been hoping your new sets would coordinate with the digital sets. These stamps are gorgeous! You have impeccable taste and an amazing sense of style. The little grammatical error just proves you are human! 😉
aw! I was hoping *not* to like it!
(opens wallet)
These are gorgeous, Nichole! Love the design of the flowers…very unique. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us.
Absolutely love these! Can’t wait to see the whole set!
Oh that set is SO MINE!!!!
I love the bottom one best-
Cant wait!
I LOVE this! All 3 looks are wonderful, but my fav is the solid! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us!
I loved the linear and solid look combined
Ok…I am so loving this set already. Beautiful card and wrapping paper. Love the looks you can create so far with the set you are showing. AWESOME!!!
The set looks awesome.
Gorgeous set, Nichole — can’t wait to play with it!
I can tell this will be a fast favorite! It’s wonderful!!!!
When are you on Talk of the Town? I hope to catch you on the show.
Nichole,
They are beautiful, but the phrase should be
“Bloom where you’re planted” not your. Other than that I love this set.
Love this set!! Yeah you used the wrong word whatever, I still love this set!! And the water pen thing, love it so much I had to post it on my own blog. LOVE IT!
Beautiful floral images – I like the first card best but all are fab as usual.
If you ever need a spell-check or English grammar queen at your disposal, just run all of your new releases by me! I’m a SAHM but I have a Journalism degree and a minor in English – allow me put my linguistics skills to good use (and it has nothing to do with the fact that I’d like to see all of your stamps early). 🙂
Wow, these are beautiful images!!! And I’m glad you caught the typo; so sorry they had already been made! (shouldn’t the manufacturer be editing too??) No matter, we all love you, and mistakes do happen! I’m sure the set is absolutely fabulous!!!
I love your ideas. The softening of the images creates such a cool effect! Beautiful!
gorgeous, gorgeous cards! Love them!
Lovely cards… Love the images and the colors… TFS!
love them all! 😉
All gorgeous, but the bottom one!
