For those of you wondering, we will be offering up TWO sets this month! The last few days I have shown you projects utilizing Out on a Limb. Today I present you with Mixed Messages. A whopping 42 sentiments for only $15 (this is a photo taken of the sentiments upside down! I can’t give away ALL my secrets before the countdown is over, now can I?!?!!) I designed this set to fill a niche in my personal collection, and I think it will be useful to all of you as well. There have been SO many occasions where I wanted a small sentiment to use with specific punches. Something understated and petite. This set will come to the rescue each and every time!!!
Here is a little project I whipped up using Little Lady. Remember that set from WAY back when? I am always so busy promoting new sets, I thought it would be fun to bring out a golden oldie. I honestly forgot how FUN this set can be! The ladybugs made it easy to bring together a quick & easy one layer card together.
The sentiment "make a wish, from the new Mixed Messages set, coordinates perfectly with the word window punch from SU! I just stamped the sentiment on one end of the shape and trimmed a portion of the opposing end off. I really like the subtle detail that it adds to the project.
Next up is a project that brings back one of my favorite sets of all time, Beautiful Blooms. I really like the way the pumpkin & olive pigment inks look on the Kraft cardstock. Real earthy & stylish, all at the same time.
The sentiments in our new Mixed Messages set are a wonderful companion to those itty-bitty dies in the Nestabilities Collection. This project used the smallest die in the LARGE Nestabilities Oval Collection. These smaller dies make it so easy to pull together a real coordinated look. And I also LOVE the phrase "Absolutely Fabulous". I have a girlfriend in particular that I plan on sending this to!
I am anxious to hear what you come up with for uses & coordination when you receive your sets! While playing around tonight I discovered that they also match our smallest Borders & Corners images, along with all the small tag dies designed for the Cuttlebug. I am quite certain that you will find yourself using these miniature sentiments often!

Barb Schram says
Oh my, this is a wonderful set…it is on my list. Barb 🙂
Anne Lawrie says
I’ve been wanting “absolutely fabulous” as well, so that is going to be my pet name for this set. A stamper can never have enough sentiments!
Smiles,
anne
Alli Miles says
oh Nichole…I just love how you think…because I am almost positive those sentiments are missing from my collection too *lol* Can’t wait until the 15th because I NEED those stamps.
Beth says
Definitely on my list! I am always searching for just the right saying and one that fits in tools I already have is “absolutely fabulous!”
Charlene Austin (Willow01) says
Wonderful!! If you say I need it….then I do. Heehee. Great cards. Love them!!
niccole-k says
Nichole you have outdone yourself this month. I cannot wait for the 15th … you ROCK Nichole ~
Rose Ann says
These look lovely! Understated and petite is my favorite!! Yay! Can have too many sentiments. 😉
Heather J. says
I was initially thinking that one set would do…but, not so much! I’ll be putting 2 sets in my cart!!! Thanks for incorporating the older sets – it inspires me to whip them out again. Heather J.
Jewels says
Just send me the bill (and the sets of course)…no need to see more!!! LOL Can’t wait. I hate trying to sort through my stuff and see what fits what! Great job and B-E-A-UTIFUL Cards!!!

Sandy Kay says
Oh my, I didn’t order any sets last month because I – like some others, don’t do many valentines. BUT, these 2 new sets are a MUST for me! I love the way you used the previous sets! Can you please make more cards/projects for ALL your stamp sets in the near future??!
Sandy Kay
Lorien Clark says
Love what I have seen of both the sets so far! Please tell me you will have lots in stock or that you will be getting more shippments in before Feb 14th. I need to get the last of my sets to qualify for the come grow with us program and I most likely will have to wait until after Feb 10th to place my order. It’s not in the budget for this month.
Melanie Muenchinger says
Looks like a must have set!
Melissa Flieg says
I am always looking for new sentements. Love the font you used. Can’t wait to see what all you have included. I’m sure it will be a must have. Maybe with only two new sets this month I can go back and an early set or two that I missed before I discovered PTI.
Sara Paschal says
I love how you have made them to go with the smaller punches and dies, that is great no more breaking out the markers to color one word at a time. Great job!
Renee V. (happystamper05) says
Can’t wait…Can’t wait….Can’t wait!
I love sentiments. IMHO, you can never have enough!
Thank you too, for showing off older sets. I’ve overlooked one thinking that I probably could do without it (I know, the horrors). Now, I’m seriously reconsidering……
You rock my world, Nicole! Can’t wait…can’t wait…can’t wait…
Renee V. (happystamper05) says
I’m sorry I spelled your name wrong…..typing too fast for my own fingers!
Karen (stampin3) says
great cards!! I love the one layer simplicity of both cards!! I’m always trying to create layer after layer – these show how beautiful one layer cards can be (and easy to create as well)! love the one rounded corner too – can’t wait for these sets to be available!!
Becky says
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
Can’t wait to see them all!
Beth Silaika says
Oh Nichole! You get my stampin’ buzz up! (that’s a good thing for me – bad for my DH’s wallet!)
Julie Phillips says
Beautiful cards and I can hardly wait to see the new sentiments…..
Hugs
Julie
Starla (star) says
I love both of your cards!! I’m sooo drawn to the more simple, yet elegant layouts! I can hardly wait for the release!
Donelda says
Nicole, I just have one thing to say…. you are amazing!!!
Donelda
Wendy says
Great examples! Thanks so much for sharing these with us :).
Jennifer Kirk says
Beautiful! I can hardly wait! I just bought those tiny Cuttlebug tags a few weeks ago and have used them lots already. It will be great to have some sentiments stamps that really fit on them well! 🙂
Sue Lelli says
I LOVE that you are making cards using old stamp sets with brand new sentiments. I am new to Papertrey and all of your stamp sets are new to me. I have looked at ALL of your Archives and found some fabulous ideas but I think it would be great for you to challenge your designers and others to periodically go back to a previous set. This might make others buy an oldie but goodie they didn’t buy before plus inspire new customers to buy more than just the new sets.
Your site, your stamps, your ideas are simply amazing! I am so glad I found you!!
sarah c. (WAstamper on SCS) says
Love the mini messages. And thanks for pulling out the old sets. Just what I needed to decide which to order to get my 12 sets before Feb. 14th:) Yup, I’m one of the few who hasn’t gotten there yet!
Geny says
Beautiful cards, looks like a great sentiment set the I will just have to order!
Colleen says
Another must have set, Nichole !I love the way you utilize Stampin’ UP! punches and Cuttlebug dies. It makes life easy and adds to the incentive to buy LOL!
If I hold a mirror to the monitor, do you think I can see the other sentiments? BWAAHHAAAAAAAA!
Hugs,
Colleen
Granna on the Go says
Just what I have wanted. So often, I can’t find the right expression or word to fit the situation that I want for a card. You have come to the rescue! Thanks again. I am getting so excited!
Sarah says
Awesome. I can already tell this is a must have set that I will use constantly. Thank you for your creativity.
Paula says
Oh wow – fab! Can’t wait til the release!

I LOVE PTI’s simple and clean style. Because the stamps are so versatile and pretty, anyone can make a beautiful card or any other paper craft project. Can’t wait to get the sentiments set!!!
