Lisa Johnson has done it again! After her success with both Life and Background Basics: Spots & Dots, she is bringing you all yet another $15 set that is packed full of versatility and most importantly, VALUE! I dedicated an entire day to playing with this little beauty and I had so much fun exploring all of it's possibilities! It can really be used for more than just patriotic themed projects and it almost becomes a challenge to see how else you can use it!

First I thought I would share the expected 4th of July project, specifically a holiday picnic invitation. I have always been fascinated with picnics and thought that perhaps this year would be the perfect opportunity for some of you to host one in your own backyard or favorite park this year!
This easy to make accordion pleat accent is something I learned from Kelly Lunceford. She put together a fabulous tutorial that you can read about HERE. I used a 1.5" x 11" strip of our Stamper's Select White cardstock and added a few stamped elements. The strip trio is from Let Freedom Ring, and is stamped in navy ink. The script is from Background Basics: Text Style, stamped in pure poppy. I trimmed the edge of the strip with scalloped scissors and then scored it every 1/4" (as Kelly describes in her tutorial). I then just finished it off with the center embellishment, which also uses pieces from Lisa's new set. I'm really thrilled with how it turned out!
Our new button twines don't have to be used just to stitch or tie buttons! Here I wrapped a length of the Rustic Jute around my card base a few times, finishing it with a small Rustic Wood button and a bow. Notice the the pattern on the navy pocket? This was created with a well thought out star strip that Lisa included in her set, similar to thought process behind all of our Background Basics sets. It was so easy and added a special touch to the paper without being too overwhelming.

The invitation was created as a pocket card, with an insert that is pulled out featuring all the details of the get-together. I printed my information out from my computer onto classic kraft cardstock. The pleated accent was attached with a foam dimensional so that it will slide on top of the the pocket when inserted in place.

Now, my next project is a bit of a departure from the first! How about a baby card? I love how fun and festive this turned out, while still being soft & appropriate for baby! I stamped the classic kraft cardstock with Background Basics: Text Style using Versamark ink. The punched circles were adhered in strips to create a colorful pattern.
Lisa designed this wonderful circular star image that features a fun striped pattern. The star itself is *hollow* (as you can see in the summer sunrise stamped circle at the top center) with a separate star image to use in the center if you wish (like the melon berry version above). I love how that customization comes into play, allowing you SO many incredible design options!
The sentiment is stamped in Vintage Cream ink on some of our popular clear cardstock. You have to heat set it for just a second or two, and you're good to go! I laid the sentiment in place and then did the stitching down the centers of the circle strips. This allowed me to skip adhesive and not worry about hiding it. I added three buttons to accent the sentiment, tied on with the new Rustic Jute Button twine. I chose to do this because it complimented the "Baby makes three" sentiment from Bitty Baby Blessings! I swiped my fresh snow ink pad around the edge of the whole block after the stitching was completed.

This birthday card utilizes some *firecracker" that Lisa included in Let Freedom Ring, as the perfect accessory for 4th of July projects. Here, I have used them as birthday candles. I stamped them in pure poppy, summer sunrise and ripe avocado.
I had in mind a graduation card when I created this little number. I
used the solid star (that fits in the center of the open star circle,
also used int he baby card above) stamped in fresh snow ink onto kraft
cardstock. I punched them out at different angles using a 3/4" square
punch.

I stamped one of the text images from Background Basics: Text Style using Versamark ink onto dark chocolate cardstock. All of the star
blocks were adhered to the cover using foam tape to give them a bit of
pop. Amber colored rhinestones in a variety of sizes were adhered to
the center of each star, making the project a bit more elegant and
sophisticated.
The "Way to go" sentiment from Star Prints was heat embossed with Gold Filigree Powder onto vintage cream cardstock. I punched it out with a
1-1/2" circle punch and trimmed two of the sides to fit in the
designated place on the card cover. A quick little card with a few
unique twists that make it fun to create!
This last project is super girly and pink, just the way I like it! And
believe it or not, it uses no printed papers, just some elements from
Let Freedom Ring and a sentiment from Handwritten Notes!
(click on the photo for a larger view)
The plaid pattern was created with our Guide Lines 1 Grid cardstock and
the stripe trio image from Let Freedom Ring. I stamped directly on top
of the light gray lines of the gridded paper with ease using raspberry
fizz ink in one direct and berry sorbet in the other. I cut the paper
so it was at a diagonal to help break up the squareness of my project.
The bottom pattern was created with some dotted swirls that Lisa originally designed to be the sparks flowing from the sparklers. When they are stamped randomly, like they are here on berry sorbet cardstock with fresh snow ink, it makes a beautiful pattern.
And how can we forget our new additions this month? Spring moss buttons! Oh, I am so in love with the way these turned out!!!

I’m loving the look of these stamps – so much more versatile than you would first think! You girls are so clever!!!
This really looks like this set is on it’s way to be a classic! Linda aka Oz
I thought i wouldnt need this set as it would be too American but all i can say is sign me up now – its gorgeous and really versatile!!
Wow! I am so impressed with the versatility of this set. Go Lisa! I am not from the US – but the projects I have seen from both you and Lisa have made me want to purchase this set anyway. It has so many possibilities beyond 4th July celebrations.
I can already imagine how versatile this set will be. I can’t wait to see the rest. And great cards, as usual, Nichole.
I love love love the idea with making your own plaid pattern, genius! And the star circles *swoon* Very cool, great job, Lisa!

I LOVE your card samples. Wow, these stamps are so versatile!!!
I absolutely love that last card and the baby card! I would love to try and use this set using these “out of the box” ideas!
i will use these for cards and los! 🙂
i will use these for our wedding projects! 🙂
Unusually (for one who lives in Ireland) I love Americana! This is a wee set I’d love to play with!! Many thanks for the chance.
Classic.
Of course, I’ll have to case the grad card! Love it’s clean and simple style.
I love it all. Let Freedom Ring will definitely be in my cart on the 15th. I really wish there was a phrase like “thank you for serving” in the set for all my military friends but I will find a way to say that myself. I am in big trouble this month.
Ack – I love how you made the ruffle – using the text and stripe!! This set is so versatile (not just holiday specific).
I am so excited about this new release from Lisa – I have been waiting for just a stamp set and cannot wait to get my hands on it!!! Also, I love the rustic releases – very cool!!!
The 4th of july tends to be my favorite holiday – so i can’t wait to put this set into my collection -plus with a baby on the way and my son-in-law in the military can see using this for baby announcements… the reveals this month have been over the top as usual..
thanks for all the inspiration you and your design team provide…
lisa – b
Love the plaid!!! The firecracker candles are too cute.:)
LOVE IT! I have three kids and enough said! The possibilities are endless!
As a Brit there’s probably a stamp or two in this set that will take a bit of leteral thinking. However I know I’ll just need to get it for those cute little firecracker candles – they are the bomb 🙂
Lovely! My granddaughter’s birthday is in July and I know I’ll need this set for a card for her. Thanks again!
This set looks amazing. I didn’t realize how versatile it could be!
My mind is reeling with thoughts of cards for men! I love the new wooden buttons and twine. With Fathers Day just around the corner, I could use the nice brown antique looking colors. Can’t wait to see a closer look at the background basics text style!
Love all the ideas – I will be casing that Grad card!
As a non-American, I was intrigued by your “more versatile than it first appears” statement on the original sneak peek of this set. Your projects (and Lisa’s too) have me absolutely inspired. I have a number of US customers for my miniature bear business and I would love to send them a surprise 4th of July card that they wouldn’t expect to receive from down under.
Wow. You have already shown us so many ways to use thse fabo stamps. I think I am just gonna have to use those ideas. I am so excited I just can’t think yet of how I will use them.
Oh all of the Rustic and Shabby additions this month make my heart flutter! I just LOVE all the samples today, especially the pretty pastel one showing how versatile Lisa’s set is!
Love the Freedom set! and those rustic wood buttons are so yummy!
wow, this release is amazing. i can totally see masculine cards (fathers day) and some super cute birthday cards for boys and girls.
Nichole==your projects are so fabulous as usual! I love the birthday card—great idea to use the fireworks as candles—simple and versatile—that’s why I love your products!
Love all your cards, as always…I think this would be a great set to help me with my struggle for making masculine cards. I send out alot of cards to men on our church prayer list..and this would help expand my ideas…thank you!
such a versatile set. Love it!!! Lisa just always amazes me!!!
It’s surprising how versatile this set really is. Way to go Lisa 🙂 I can definitely see using Let Freedom Ring in my scrapbooks for my two boys!!
I’m in love!
PTI is doing it again!! More fabulous new must-haves!!
Ok, I think this may be might new favorite set. I’m thinking baby announcements…and my son’s scrapbook, birthday cards, promotion and retirement (we’re military) cards/invitations, even Christmas cards with those beautiful stars. I really think this set is fantastic and a true must have!
This set will be great for graduation cards and summer picnic invites. That for all of the great ideas!
The rustic twine and wood buttons–love them!! And, it sounds like maybe some more colors of twine in the future? I’m always amazed at the well-executed designs of your team.
Everyone has out done themselves this time…all the new products are absolutely amazing and beautiful…..
I love the versatility of this set and that it can be so easily used for masculine or feminine projects. Also really love that jute – I have a thing about “naked” buttons and always have to thread something through them.
I think that this set will be one of those classics that work with everything! I can see a lot of kid’s birthday cards in my future with this set!
I love the endless possibilities this set brings. I can see myself using this set on many occasions from Fourth of July to birthdays to anniversaries. Will definitely have to make patterned paper just as you did. Love the new buttons!
It was great to see this set used for non-patriotic ventures, given I am not from the US whilst I can appreciate your patriotism showcasing the different uses allows other nationalities to see the true application of this stamp set, SO THANKS… ”tis totally wonderful!
Love how you showcased the versatility of this set – so bright and colorful – love each and every card!
4th of July is one of my favorite holidays – and I adore stars. Nichole, as always you have inspired me – I may never leave my craft room. Thanks for the chance to win the set!
Love love love the vesatility of this set!!
Whoa! You certainly demonstrated how versatile that set is! I want it!!!!

I really like the accordian pleat accent! My son was born on the 4th of July so I will always have a use for this set on cards, scrapbook pages and gifts for him. Also this would be nice for the cards for the military that our church makes.
you truly have a talented team. love the way you put together cards to show the versatility. the twine, oh the things to do with that. buttons and so much more. loved it.
There are so many different ways to use this set. I can’t wait to see the whole set. I really love the patterned paper that was created on the Everyday Life card. You would never associate those images with a set called Let Freedom Ring. Fantastic.
This set looks like it would be great to send more contemporary type cards to our troops.
Oh my, my list gets longer and longer and I’ve yet to read the next blog entry. This month’s release is so “up my alley.” I’ve just loved it all.
This set is quite versatile. I love all the new buttons being released this month!!! Your projects are amazing, as always.
This set is so classic! It has so many possibilities. I love the build up to the reveal every month! It is so much fun.
I love Lisa’s new set. It’s so versatile!(so glad you’ve all worked so hard to show that! The samples are gorgeous!)
I definitely love the baby card and the plaid looks you and Lisa have shown using the set! Can’t wait til the 15th!!
Love all the projects so amazing. I am so excited about the buttons and twine I use both of those on almost every project I do.
I love red, white and blue and I would use this set for Fourth of July and birthdays! I love Lisa’s style. What you have done with it in all the different colors is amazing.
Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas! Lisa did a great job on this set.
Wow, all the cards are so amazing, I do not know which direction I want to go! I really like the diagonal paper you made, that is really gorgeous.
Great stuff! That set si sso versatile. -Molly B
Nichole God Bless your hands 😀 you have a great touch in all your projects, love them all..
Once I have this set in my stamping space :p I thought of stamping the “firecracker” stamp many times close to each other to make a cake 😉 Birthday cake or wedding cake, I can also make a multiple layers cake..
I also thought of using the “firecarker” stamp to make love cards or gift by making the firecracker crackes hearts :p using “Love Songs” stamps for example..
And more ideas in my mind 🙂 waiting for the release day or maybe I can win one of your candies :$
Love the new set, can’t wait to use it!
I always like to see what you come up with!! All these different cards, but with the same set!!
Awesome set! Love the new templates too!
Kara

What a versatile set! I love the graduation one…and the swirls on the girly one!
Great job!
How versatile is this darling set? I love the little candle/firecrackers! All the stars can be used in so many ways-I’d love to own this set -for more than the 4th of July!
We have a neighborhood 4th of July parade each year and this set will be perfect for making the invites and favors!
Wow what a great set and I love the buttons. Can’t wait to place my order. I think I will have to be fast or they will sell out!!! Congrats Lisa on another great set.

So amazing what you and the design team have been able to do with Lisa’s new stamp set! Your designs absolutely demonstrate how one set can reach beyond the obvious 4th of July look and be so much more! Thanks for another great design….and more amazing pre-launch inspiration.

Only $15!! Seriously?! Love this set and the idea of making background paper with it too
I love the graduation card you made! This set would be perfect for male cards. It’s also a great set for 4th of July scrapbook pages.
Love this set, and who would have thought. I am not much into starts or the 4th of July! Thanks for opening my eyes to something I had no idea I would even like!
WOW, talk about going back and forth. I originally loved the set when I saw the firecrackers, but then when I saw the name I did not think I could do too much with it (living outside the US) BUT then I saw today’s post..so versatile! And the jute ?? I’ve been searching high and low for this product. Thanks !
Wow – what a great set! I thought of birthdays and graduations, but I didn’t think of baby cards. Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas!
Love all the ideas for using this set! Can’t wait to see more.
Love the versatility of the new set. Love the text backgrounds too. But think my very favorite is the BUTTON TWINE!! Love it!!!
Once again, you have completely hit it out of the park. What a versatile set! I would love to make the graduation card…that is a PERFECT card for anyone! Thanks again!
This set looks so versatile! I am sure it will be used for many occasions, but especially birthdays!!!
Love the uses of this set. So versatile.
I love all of the samples you have made today! The 4th of July invite is just too cute!
I’m so excited about the versatility of this set!
I love out of the box ideas for stamp sets and PTI’s sets are so easy to use that way!
I have been DYING to get my hands on the twine that you ladies all seem to have on hand!
Thank you for, again, enabling me!
another set that i HAVE to have!! you guys are just amazing!! i’ll use it for sure on the 4th. maybe to make napkins rings or place settings. i love how you showed us how to use it for baby, birthday, and graduation! LOVE IT!!
Love, love, love all the cards you showed today, so very talented! Can’t wait to see the whole sets.
Love all the new things. Let Freedom Rings seems so much more versatile than I could have first imagined.
What a wide variety of projects! All of these are wonderful.
I have several ideas for this set already! My husband loves fireworks so I see several cards for him, especially since he proposed to me on the 4th of July! I cannot wait to get my hands on these stamps!
Wow! Love all the great ideas for the Let Freedom Ring set. I am so in love with the rustic collection of paper twine and buttons!!! These are great! You just never stop amazing me!
I can’t believe all the amazing goodies this month. I am very excited about all the buttons, the rustic are beautiful and of course Nicole would have the perfect twine to match. The paper rocks too!
Even though I am Canadian I can see so many possibilities for this set. Thank you Nicole for showing us such unique and creative ways to use this set.
My daughter often has a New Year’s party. I’m dreaming of sparklers and invitaions now@
The best thing about Lisa’s new set is that it doesn’t just have to work for the 4th of July but that here in the UK we could use it for lots of other occasions like St George’s Day. Super samples as always and I just love the new buttons!
These projects are great! I love all things patriotic. I also have a graduate this year and lots of parties so I will have to scraplift the graduation card. Thanks!
I can’t wait for the release date!!!….as usual you don’t disappoint!
Nichole, your projects are amazing with Lisa’s new set. This truly looks like a winner and very versatile. Thanks for the chance to win.
I just love the versatility of this set even for a Canadian!!! Each month I continue to be surprised with both the designs and the Products! I just love it all!
From the very first sneak peak, I knew that this set would end up in my cart. I just love it. I may have to hit the “I Want It All” button this month.
scrapbook pages! I have three boys, so stars always find their way onto my pages (you know, kind of like a masculine version of flowers, LOL!). I have last year’s 4th of July pics to scrap, this would be perfect.
So many possibilities, but I am particularly intrigued by the idea of making a plaid design using the stripes and an overall pattern with the swirls. Plus my nephew just graduated from army basic training so I’m thinking that now it will be impossible for me to have too many sets with a patriotic bent!
Loving the versatility of this set…tons of options beyond the 4th of July. Thanks for your examples!
Very cute! I really like this set for patriotic events.
All these projects are great! I really like all the elements Lisa included in this set! I am also excited about the twine and the new buttons!
Those little pleated accents are calling out to be cupcake toppers. Can’t you hear them? LOL.
I love these samples, especially the last one; the patterned papers you created really have me inspired! I would definetly get more bang from my buck following your lead with Lisa’s super new stamp set!
Kathy Camasso
I looove the striped trio, I am in Canada so I was thinking I would have no need for this set…hmmmm I am now thinking differently!
I’ve really been loving all of Lisa’s sneak peeks this week. I think this is a wonderful set with a ton of versatility! And I love the new twine and buttons!!
I am loving the new twine. I like the fact that the twine is fuzzy and not “waxy”. It is the little things in life…Have a great day
I love your cards Nichole..you make it look so easy!! The new buttons are just adorable..I want to buy them just to put them on my shelf..love the colors..
Nichole these are amazing cards. Your creativity blows me away. I love that you showed how versatile this set can be. Simply perfect!
Great versatility & creativity! I can see it for scrapbook pages for my grandson. The triple stripe has endless possibilities. I’ve had that linen thread in my quilt stash for years. Guess it’s time to move it over to the stamping area. Oh heck, I’ll just order another one.
All of your projects are fantastic, as usual! The baby card and birthday cards are my favorites though. Will definitely have to CASE that cute little baby card!
This set is just amazing and the possibilities are endless! I love Lisa’s last two sets and can’t wait to add this one! Your samples today are fantastic and with the addition of the twine and wooden buttons–WOW!
Oh how fabulous! Beautiful creations!
I am definitely ordering this set Friday (unless I win it Ü)! I love all the projects and need to get busy on making some fun things I’ve seen for our yearly July 4th BBQ.
I absolutely love the plaid patterns created with the stripe trio! I would love to recreate some of those!
I think I’m late since PST and I just read this, but I still have to say that I have been looking for a really versatile Americana stamp set that can be used for many different things – this is just the right set!! Thanks so much – I have an order together and am now just waiting for the release. Thanks again.
I would love to use this set to stamp Onsies for the babies in my life! Too adorable!
What an awesome set. I see many possiblities. Especially maybe men’s cards. It is always so hard to come up with something for them.
Your cards look wonderful! Oh no! Button twine! My list of things I want is growing and growing!
What a fun set. I hope I win it.
First thought to mind was to use it for my daughters birthday invites, goodie bags-her birthday is July 1st. I love your birthday card with the star brads above the candle/firecracker. 😉
What a fun set! I love how you made the patterned paper out of the firework topper! Beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow, everything is fabulous! I am in awe e as you reveal samples with each set. You show us so many wonderful options! I love the versatility of Freedom Ring.
I love how you made the plaid pattern. And I adore the sparklers stamped in white. now my mind is just spinning when thinking of the rustic twine and buttons! WooHoo I may never have to shop any where else. Can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeves!
I love the Let Freedom ring set. It seems to be very versatile. I love the pleated embellishment you made! The button twines look like the perfect addition to any button. I am definitely a button junkie now that you have introduced buttons to your line of products. Have to have them all!
Wow, some great ways to use that said. You’re always so inspiring!
i absolutely love the graduation card you came up with, and what a great sentiment to use! I also really like the pink plaid you created on the last card.
You have a great eye for seeing things differently than expected, Nichole I love what you did with this set!
We are lucky enough to see our towns fireworks from our yard so usually have a 4th of July party every year. This set will be perfect!
Love our 4th of July project! That medallion is super fab!! I’ll have to give it a try! The new sets look wonderful! 🙂
Such unique styles in each card…I love it!
Love your 4th of July invite Nichole! I’ll be trying that wonderful pleated circle – I can see fun name place cards or food label cards for cookouts using this fun set!
These sets are amazing. I love those stars…
Cindee
Beautiful and versatile cards. Well done on the stamp designs.
I love how versatile this set is. Amazing.
Love this Set 🙂 awesome samples – ladies!!! I would definitely create some 4th of July invites for our friends and family to celebration this wonderful holiday!!!
Love the firecrackers as bday candles! I can’t wait to see the rest of the set.
I love the Fourth of July holiday. What fun that set would be to create some great favors.
Independence Day is my favorite holiday, so I always have a lot of scrapbook pages to do. This set will be perfect for that! Also, I can’t wait to use the plaid for some masculine cards. And I absolutely LOVE those coconut shell buttons. So clever!
My daughters birthday is July 1st. I love the colors of the picnic invitation and the pull out element. I may have to “borrow” your idea to do a birthday invitation!
I love how you can use this set for so many other things than just the 4th of July.
I love the plaid pattern, so many styles and colors that could be made with it. I really like the birthday and grad card. Great job.
Let Freedom Ring has so many possibilities, not just July 4th. Will made cards for our troups as my cousin just returned from Iraq and we don’t know what his next assignment will be. Sending a box of cards for his men makes me feel good and I know they appreciate it. Love the birthday card idea also!!!
As usual — you just stun me with your elegance! “Who’d of thunk” that stars could look so ….. classy?
Love this new set! Just what I needed to round out my collection! Great projects too!
This set is so versatile!! WOW!!! Love all the cards shown here!!!! Not sure what all I’ll use this set for… but I know it’s a “must have” in my stamp room!! Love the new buttons and jute twine!! Awesome!
I am soooo excited! 4th of July is my favorite holiday and I can see just how cute this set is going to be! Its nice to see all the other things you can use it for too. A lot of times I get my mind set on one theme only!
Thanks soo much for the chance to win!
I love this set! I love all the possibilities with it! Thanks for a chance to win!

thanks for all these opportunities to win sets!
I love all the different “looks” you were able to achieve with this set!! Those rustic wood buttons are devine!! I can’t wait to see everything at the release!!
I am thinking it would make great cards for my neice and nephews when they do a performance..I have a recital in June and think she would love to get a “Star” card…
I just love the graduation card & the use of the stripe trio image to create a background on the pink card. I can’t wait to use this set to make my own versions!
What a great idea. Very versatile. Love what Lisa always comes up with.
Although not from the US, this set is on my MUST have list. The possibilities are endless, as you and Lisa have shown!!! I absolutely LOVE the rustic buttons and twine. Can’t wait to have them in my hot little hands to play with! Thanks for such awesome products Nichole!!! You ROCK!
I can see the versatility of this set, and who doesn’t love stars?! Every year my son’s school puts on a “Patriotic” themed show and I will totally be using this set to help make the ribbons that the children wear, and other decorations. Great one!
I can’t wait for more buttons!!! And the new stamp sets look incredible!
At first glance I wasn’t very interested in this set, but after seeing it used in various cards, I’m impressed at how versatile it really is! Very nice!
as soon as i saw this set i knew i would be making 4th of july party invitations with it. great job on the cards.
I really liked the graduation card. This will be a great set to have.
It’s going to be fun creating with all these wonderful basics-especally, and as you’ve just shown us, some macho male designs, too. So cool! Love the versatility!
I love the baby card and the grad card…actually, I love them ALL!!
WOW!!! ANT WAIT TILL THE 15
this is such a great set. I love the idea of using the firecrack image as a birthday candle and I would definitely use this set for a fun, festive summer birthday card. Thanks for chance to win!
This looks so versatile that the question will be what won’t I use it on! 😉
Thanks for all your inspiring ideas.
I love all the new ideas you are showing this month. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new sets, buttons and jute.
You just continue to amaze me with each new project. The thing I love about PTI is how versatile the sets are. And this set is no different. Great job.
What a cute set! I love how you showed the versitility of it. The birthday card & graduation card are great. I’m always looking for ideas for these types of cards. It would work perfect for those summer parties as well.
All lovely. And I love the wooden buttons. Lots of stars this month… and I’m not just talking stamps! Thanks for this, Tracy
We just bought a new house and it has a pool…as soon as I saw the spray that is designed to match with the fireworks, I saw WATER! I can’t wait to use it for pool party invitations! 😀
Oh I can’t wait to get my hands on this set!! I have a 4th party every year!! Thanks for the chance to win!
My family always gets together on the 4th for a cookout and then we go watch fireworks. I want to use this set for scrapbook pages and 4th of July cards!
I really love this set- it’s so versatile! Such beautiful images! And rustic buttons! I’m pulling out my wallet!

I love the plaid! I sometimes find it so hard to look beyond the obvious, but that is never the case with you & your design team! I would have never thought of all those things, but now I feel that I can go beyond July 4th into Christmas with those stars the plaid. Thanks for all your creativity!
Thanks for sharing so many non 4th of July ideas. As a Canadian, I thought this set would not be for me, but now I can see the options that it holds.
i am so excited for the new vintage collection!! they are def a must have for me!! >”<
I like how you used this set in other ways that 4th of July. We don’t have this holiday in Canada, so it’s good to see how to use it otherwise.
I give stamped calendars each year for Christmas gifts. I am always looking for stamps for July and I think “Let Freedom Ring” will be perfect.
Your creations are wonderful. You really are showing off the true versatility of this adorable set.
I really love the cookout and the grad card. I can see using these this 4th of July!!! How perfect!
WOW! You definitly showed the versatility of this set! I am in LOVE with the plaid and swirly patterned papper you created……….simply FABULOUS! I think I would probably use this set the most for birthday cards and boy scrapbooking. 😉
Love the grad card!
Oh, this is fun! I would probably use the set most to scrapbook 4th of July photos. I don’t have a 4th of July set. I need something good for graduation, too. Looks like a winner!
Love it, love it, love it!!! More stars… and that plaid is gorgeous!
The wooden buttons… are to die for. I love ’em along with the jute twine. Anything rustic catches my eye. This stamp set is a must for any collection because of it’s versatility… Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
More wonderful projects that show how versitle this set can be! I’m excited about the new twine and buttons as well. This set would be great for making masculine cards.
Oh my Nichole!!! I so LOVE those buttons!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!! And Lisa’s new set, I have been wanting a PTI 4th set for so long!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
love love love who would have thought a bird would make that wonderful looking groom and bride got to love it! good work ladies once a again!
This set is definitely more versatile than I first imagined! Love that new twine too!
So happy for the picnic sentiment as we have a picnic party on the 4th every year…I’ll definitely need this set for that!!
Okay…I think you just sold me on this set…I didn’t think I’d need a July 4th set but you’ve should me just how many different styles and themes of cards I could make. Love all of your cards today!
I always think I don’t need any more stamps until I see the awesome things you come up with! I love the graduation card and the firecracker birthday candles.
I’ve been sitting on the fence with this stamp set, but now that I see how versatile it is, I can see that it will be a nice addition to my “growing” PTI collection. Your projects are always great showcases!
Can’t wait to see it all and it will go great with the new star set as well!
Wow, love all the ideas and how versatile this set is!
Would you believe twine excites me? It is on my “to pick up” list. I love all the new sets this month, and I love the idea of using the frecrackers as candles, so versatile!
At first it just looks like a cute go-to set for patriotic themes. But I love how you made it so versatile with just the use of color and embellishment we paper crafters already have. Will have to consider this set…hmmm
What would I do with this set? Give it to myself as a birthday gift–on July 4th! Can’t have too much red, white and blue, stars, stripes, firecrackers…! This set is great!
Love the new wooden buttons and the new stamp set rocks too! I’m imagining all kinds of cards other than patriotic too. Thanks Nicole and Lisa! You all did it again (and again, and again, and again!)
I love the stripe image in this set, and I love the masculine possibilities. Great projects–thank you for showing the versatility.
Oooooo, love the wood buttons! I’m excited about the rustic cream and white cardstock too. Let Freedom Ring looks like it can be very versatile. Your dark chocolate graduation card is my favorite of today’s projects. I think my favorite image in the set is the plaid line. Such a great design with so many possibilities!
I love the plaid pattern and all the examples are fabulous! VEry versaile!
Wow this set really is very useful. Makes me want to go home and review other sets and look at them in different ways. Love the Graduation card. The stars almost look different sizes the way you punched them out. a neat effect.
My sweet friend’s little girl has a July 4th birthday. My friend is so crafty. I am imagining all of the birthday favors and decorations that she could make with this set. Wow!
Wow! I love how you used this set to create such different looks. And that twine is devine!
Great job on making this set so versatile. The birthday card is especially fabulous.
Your projects today are amazing Nichole! As always I love how these stamps can be used in so many ways! I especially love how you made the plaid pattern.
I am in serious trouble this month! Does anyone have a stamping room floor I can sleep on when my hubby boots me from the house??? I am in love with EVERYTHING that has been previewed so far!!! Maybe I will win something and then not be in as much trouble hehehe! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Heather B.
WOW! What great cards done with the same set. Definately need this set……DDs bday is in July. Now I just need to think outside the box with my stamps and see what I can create.
buttons, twine and stamps, oh, my!! doesn’t get anymore exciting than this!!
I’m really impressed with the pattern combination on girly card – there is so much “visual” texture. I would hope to be able to do the same with this set.
This will be great for Grad cards! Thanks for the chance to win!
My plans for this set include 4th of July invites for our yearly bbq, baby cards, and of course graduation cards (not to mention all the scrapbook pages). Oh and who could forget Father’s Day too!
I absolutely LOVE the rustic buttons and twine! They will be on my very next order!
I just love the twine and buttons and stars are my must have!!! I have all boys, so I just love boy stuff and all of this has so many ideas running around in my head.lol
Oh my goodness, I love all of these! But especially the last one – it’s so outside the box for a set like this and I love it!!
So much more you can do with this set than just Fourth of July things! Love the firecrackers as candles, and the sparkler swirls could be used on just about anything!
When I saw the first sneak peek I thought birthday…wow!!! Way too cool! I love the swirl and the plaid stripe maker!!!
Once again she thought of the little details! LOVE IT!!!
I really like this set. I am not much of a 4th of July person, but the designs here are very versatile.
Your card samples are awesome as usual. I can’t wait to see this stamp set!!
Love this set! My daughter’s birthday is on the 4th of July and I can’t wait to buy this set so I can make invitations and other things for her birthday!
Another cute set! Love those wooden buttons!
I think this set could be used for weddings too! Can’t wait for spring moss buttons!
I have been looking for a nice stamp with a patriotic flare to it. I am soooo excited about Let freedom Ring. I love the versatility of the set. The projects presented today are just amzing. Great job!
I think I might need to case your idea for the picnic invitation. I love the idea. Your other projects are great too. I am amazedat the versatility of this set. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Thank you for showing all the versitility of this set. At first it didn’t really appeal to me, but now I’m thinking it’s a MUST HAVE!
I really like how the firecrackers can be used as birthday candles. This set has a lot of possibilities. Thanks Nicole!
I love how you show the versatility of the set. Sometimes I have a hard time visualizing other options for a set, thank you for opening my creative eyes to more ideas.
Love these ideas, can’t wait to see the entire set. I think it could make great cards for Father’s Day along with all summer activities.
Kyla
I love the versatility of this set!! All of your samples were fabulous (as usual) but I especially liked your patterned papers. Oh and I cannot wait to get my hands on those rustic buttons!!
Just loving the versatility of these stamps!
Wow! I love all the projects, especially the graduation card, its fab!
Oh I LOVE all your ideas Nicole.. so looking forward to this set.. we arent home for the 4th and I thought oh I dont need it.. then I saw the FUN ideas you and Lisa shared and I thought I NEED IT! LOL!! so in my cart it will go on the 15th…along with the buttons.. (and is that new blue PTI paper! hee hee!) and the spring moss buttons!
Have a GREAT day!
What a great set to make invitations for 4th of July. It will highlight the great fireworks display we always go to.
Where to stop!?!? I requested no Mother’s Day gifts, just give me cash the 15th. I think I should have made it clear that I needed a lot of cash. I’m sure I won’t be ordering it all at once, but everything I’ve seen so far has peaked my interest.
Love it all! can’t wait to get my hands on some of this new stuff & create!
I love the 4th of July set!!! It looks like it’s going to be a very expensive month for me!
I can see all kinds of backgrounds and patriotic cards with this set. Wow!

I absolutely love the stars and those new green buttons. Stars are so versatile so I’d use them for everything from birthday cards to altered items. love these ones!!!
Love this set – WOW – love how you’ve showcased it’s versatility – Lisa too — I’ve got a few graduation cards to make this year – as well as a b-day party to attend on the 4th — so this will come in handy 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!

Love those projects. Looks like a very versatile set. Thanks
another set to add that can go for all occasions… but I love love the 4th projects.. I would love to do more of these with this set!! gorgeous examples !!
I could see this set being used for quilting-themed projects such as scrapbook pages and cards. What a beautiful set!
I love love LOVE when you share projects that are different from the intended theme of a set. That birthday candle card is adorable!
I have a special place in my heart for patriotic themed things, but the versatility of this set makes it a must have for me now! Thank you so so much for all the inspiration you share!
What a spectacular set. You did a wonderful job showcasing its versatility!
Right now is the season for graduation and babies, at least in my life. I love stars so that is a must and I really adore how you made your own plaid background!
Lisa is just fantastic with these $15 sets, such a great value!
Memorial Day is a big deal around here, and we always have giant BBQ, I think this set will make wonderful invitations!
I love the new release peaks I have seen so far. I think I would probably use the stars for a fun background paper for a camping spread. Thanks for the chance to win.
Such awesome ideas from this set. I can’t wait to get it and start creating.
thanks much
I love this collection!!!! so many cute designs!
Thanks for showing off the many sides of the 4th of July set! And thanks for the chance to win!
Love the projects! I can’t wait to get my hands on the new releases! Looking forward to the release party.
Love this new set from Lisa! And I’m very excited about the new Rustid Wood buttons.
Wow, this IS a versatile set! And I’m LOVING the new rustic jute and wood buttons!
Just INCREDIBLE! Thanks for showing the great versatility in this set. I think I’m in love. I’m also very intrigued by the twine and the new rustic buttons!!! Can’t wait to get them!
I like it that the stars could be used for such a variety of cards from patriotic to birthday, graduation and star pupil or teacher!
PaperTrey could make me become a stamper! Your designers are just so fabulous! I love Lisa’s new set! I started here buying Lauren’s templates, but I have a feeling that I’ll be getting some stamps soon!
I really didn’t think I “needed” this set before the preview. Now, I can envision doing so much more with it. Love the new buttons, too!
These are REALLY versatile, wow thank you for all the inspiration!
Ooooooh, too cool! I have some awesome 4th of July photos that I need to scrapbook… Looks like Lisa’s set would provide some perfect accent items! Thanks for the chance to win!
I could use this for so many things… especially boy cards (which can be so hard). Love it.
Wow – you just made this set look so versatile! And the buttons! Ooooh, can’t wait for the buttons!
Love the fire crackers and sparkles and more stars…what fun!
Thanks for the great sets.
LouAnn
I had never thought of using firecrackers for candles
My plans for all sets are to scraplift the DT ideas. I’m not sure I can improve upon the originals!
Really cool stamps. I’d have to say that I would start with 4th of July cards first (since that’s not too far off). I think just those would keep me busy with this for a while. Would certainly LOVE to win this, and thank you so much for the chance to do so.
Gorgeous! I am looking forward to seeing all the elements in this fantastic set.
This set looks so versatile, and I can see using it for many different occasions. Especially like that it can be used for masculine cards as well as cards for younger and older recipients.
Wow Nichole! This stamp set is so versatile! So wonderful!
Fabulous! What great ideas, I can’t wait to try some of my own!
All adorable projects! What a fun set!
Wow! What a great set this is going to be! Combining it with yesterdays stars set, I think the sky’s the limit! I think these two sets combined will be great for making kids cards, which, for me, are hard to do if you don’t like all the cutesy stamps that are on the market today.
Another fabulous stamp with wonderful creative ideas!
I cannot wait to order this set!! Love all your ideas! Love the ruffled flower!
I love these sets! I would definitely use the stars! My oldest daughter, now one year off cancer treatment, was on stage with Make A Wish and these stars would be perfect for her scrapbook page!!!
I love all you projects!!!! I like when a set can be used for way different things than what it was intended for. I soo needs this set 🙂
WOW! You have done it again. I’ve been in a rut lately but after seeing only 2 days of previews I’m feeling creative again. Can’t wait to order on the 15th!
Mind boggling how you gals do this every month and still amaze me with the ideas and designs. Love the vintage items!
Well, you’ve definitely convinced me that this set is versatile – I love all the cards you’ve made!
WOW! There is something to adore about each and every card you created! AMAZING! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!!!!
LOVE all the rustic products this month!!
OMG… you have pretty much covered all the possibilities with this stamp set. Now that I have the ideas…I NEED that set, because I can’t think of a one of those ideas that I don’t want to CASE in someway. This will be the first 4th that my extended family and I will be together in like a hundred years LOL and I’m “throwing a party”…what a wonderful way to invite everyone
Thanks for the opportunity to win that set
Janet
I really think this could be a go-to set! Love it!
I love the cards you’ve created to showcase “Let Freedom Ring”, especially masculine ones and particularly ones with plenty of dimensional elements for blind recipients.
-MaryB in Milpitas
I am amazed at how many different styled cards you made from this one set. It makes me realize i need to think more outside the box. This set looks really fabulous!
I can see this being a great set to communicate any idea of “celebration” whether for 4th of July or not! And the pattern possibilities (wonderfully showcased in the pink card) are just fabulous!
Oh, Nichole, I love the plaid and the dotted swirl pattern on the bottom card! It truly is versatile! And I also am thrilled to see the brown graduation card, a great idea for guys (well, maybe minus the bling LOL). I have such a hard time making guy cards, but this one is stunning. I say it every month, but it is true: You are so talented and creative! Thanks for all the inspiration and the chance to win!
I would definately use this set for thinking outside of the box card making. I loved your samples and can definately see the versatility :).
Love the new buttons! I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us this month.
This seems like a really versatile set, I love the birthday card!
Love the versatility of this set! You all have out done yourselves again!
I can’t believe how versatile this set is! It will definitely be going home with me!
Wow – you always show such versatility with the stamp sets. Truly inspiring. And I love the new wooden buttons. I will have to add these to my wish list.
Well, now I don’t have anything in mind to use this set for…..I have everything in mind! Thanks for demonstrating how versatile Lisa’s set really is. You have definitely gotten the creative juices flowing! :>
You have so many great ideas on how to use this set, it makes a must have!!!
Nicole….how do you do it. To me I saw a limited set for just the 4th of July….really cute but somewhat restricted…but you…..You see everything so differently. I wish you could write a tutorial on how to do that! Now this set is on my wish list!!! Thank you for helping me get “out of the box”
I really like the versatility you showcase here! And PLEASE add cream envelopes to Paper Trey to go with the new Vintage Touch collection!!
That “I want it all” button is going to come in VERY handy come May 15th!!! FABULOUS!!!!!!
I am always amazed at how versatile PTI stamp sets are. Love the baby card and the graduation card…I might have to case it!
I really enjoy just how diverse the projects you made with this single set are! From patriotic to sweet. Thanks for the chance to win.
Your samples are beautiful. I love this set–sooo versatile!
WOW, I love these new items…..the jute and wooden buttons are wonderful and all the designs so inspiring! Great job!
Beautiful set! … and so much more versatile than I first thought!
I’ve always felt like the “4th of July” is underrated when it comes to rubber stamps. I absolutely love this set! It’s so perfect for the holiday, yet so versatile as well. A definite must have!
Wow – another great and versitile set. I love the way backgrounds can be so easily made with all your sets. Thanks for the ideas!
Love this set, and it’s at such a great value at only $15! Love the elements Lisa added with this set. The swirl and stripes are just fabulous! Your cards are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
The versatility of this set is amazing! Your projects are all, once again, incredible, and I will be adding this set to my order on the 15th. I LOVE the plaid you created with the stripes and the Guidelines Grid card stock. WOW!
WOW! I am SO excited about all the peaks you’ve shown today! the jute, the wooden buttons, the spring moss buttons and of course the let freedom ring set! I am going to be in SO much trouble on the 15th!
In the beginning I thought: “Okay, a 4th of July stamp set…” but then I saw what you made with it! It’s awesome! I love especially the baby and the girly cards – they are great. 🙂
Great set. I love that not only the stars, but the dotted swirls, can be used as backgrounds!
Wow – who knew you could do so much with stars? I obviously have been neglecting them. I’m excited to try some of your ideas – especially the baby announcement.
The Way to Go sample is just so cute with the stars and bling. I am just loving the kraft paper with the white ink – it is so pleasing to the eye. Thanks for the chance!
I am really excited about the new twine and wood buttons. Love the rustic look!
What a great project! I love the buttons and twine…what a welcome addition. I can envision all kinds of fun projects. Thanks for offering the great prize!
I love to scrapbook our 4th of July pictures so this set looks perfect for that!
Wow there are so many ideas floating around in my head right now! I’m always in need of birthday cards but this year we have been invited to several graduations too. I’m totally in love with your graduation card!
Thanks for the chance to win more goodies!!
Wow – this set looks awesome – and extremely versatile! Thanks for all the ideas! And I am in LOVE with those buttons!!!
Fantastic! I’m so excited for summer festivities!
Love the paper pleating technique. That vintage prize ribbon look is so ‘in’ right now. So many applications for it. I am always looking at my stamps for more than they were intended now that I found PTI. 🙂
This set looks to be so versatile and fun!
My Husband’s family makes a huge deal about the Forth of July. I always have tons of photos after the picnic and fireworks. I never have anything really cute to put with them. I would love to have this set. I am so excited about it!
Wow, there are so many possibilities…..I can see 4th of July, graduation, baby, Father’s Day goodies and a whole lot more that I haven’t thought of yet to do with this set. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Not being one who makes/sends many 4th of July cards I wasn’t that interested in this set – until TODAY! Oh my, you’ve done it again with your C-R-E-A-T-I-V-I-T-Y! Thanks for a chance to win another set I’ll surely love!!!
I love 4th of july so I would like this set regardless but the fact that it is so versitle makes it even better. Thanks for all the creativity.
It is so great to know that a great “American” set is out there!!!
What a great set–it would work great for graduation cards I need to make!!
I love the new products. The wooden buttons go so well with the twine. I have nothing like this in my stash!
ooooh – i love the candles/firecrackers and the swirly bits. those will make great everything cards. and i do actually make some 4th of july cards each year – so the set is obviously perfect for that… can’t wait to see the whole thing. thanks for the chance to win!
Looks like another jam packed release of items that I just have to have. Can’t wait to see everything on the 15th.
What an awesome set……love all the sample cards too!!

Love this set too! My favorite sample is the one with the little squares (although, I love them all). Thanks for continuing to design such great sets!!
Thanks for letting us see the versatility with this set…it is now a must have…even though I love anything red, white and blue.
I can’t believe how many different projects you came up with using just one set!
I love the new star set! Can someone please please please tell me if it will work with nesties? PLEASEEEEEEEE…
blessings.
This set will be great for some many types of cards-but we are planning a Memorial Day picnic-so I will already start using it this month for invites and favors!
I love these stamps. I’m thinking that the stars would make a great background page with a midnight blue paper for a picture of someone at a campout.
Nichole–I have to say, I love all your non-patriotic cards with this set. They are so cute and so creative, the baby card is adorable and I love the firecrackers as candles. This set sure looks versatile! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Now I’m sold. I didn’t think I would have a use for an Independence day set, but I love those firecrackers as candles! This will certainly be an addition to my cart on the 15th!
I love Lisa’s style!
Such beautiful projects! Can’t wait to get my own set to see what I can do myself.
I love these cards and the graducation card is great! It is so hard to find versitile graducation cards. Great job!
I adore stars! can’t wait to use them on all the projects I can think of, especially now that summer is coming soon. This is so exciting!!
Love the idea of making grids and plaids! I could totally see using this for kid cards, graduation cards, and even baby cards. Everyone deserves to know that they are a star in someone else’s eyes. This set will totally work to express that! Thanks for sharing more wonderful projects and for the chance to win!
I love all of the cards! I wish that I could spend a day with you and the Design Team so that, maybe, some of your mojo would rub off!!
Very cool Ideas 🙂 Awesome.
I just love the way you used it in the more girly ways! So clever! Love it, thanks!
would love a chance to win!! love all the creations and i’ve ben in a rut. this could be just what i need!
Oh My Gosh! This new set of Lisa’s is so versatile and matches up beautifully with all the other Papertrey Stamps ~ I think it has applications for every card occasion there is! LOVE IT!
I can see using it for my fouth of July invitations first but I love how you have shown the versatility of the set. I LOVE that graduation card!
i would use the stars for my 2 boys’ scrap pages! looks lik a fun set!
I love it and see many uses for it especially since my husband is in the military I am always on the lookout for something that works for promotions and farewells. However the first card I will be making is a Fathers Day card – I just love that you can create a plaid look that will be perfect for any masculine occasion.
i love them all…..especially the firecracker candles!!!
Love, love, love how you made the plaid background. Looks easy, too.
the new buttons are MINE!!!!! totally digging the new star set!!
i wouldnt have thought a 4th of july set could be so versatile… i like it alot!! and the buttons are so adorable!
LOVE everything!!!!!
I have several friends and family members serving the country. I can’t wait to try out this set for myself and send cards to them. I’d love to use the new button on masculine cards. Thank you, guys!!
I can actually picture the bbq I would HAVE to throw, just because of the cool set.
This set would just be perfect for masculine cards! I am so excited about the jute and buttons too! Can’t wait to see more!
I love the dark chocolate and kraft graduation card. It would look great for a masculine birthday card!
I’m absolutely loving this set…it has such great potential! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Amazing! Just amazing! I’m trying to close my mouth, but it just keeps popping open in amazement at all the versatility of this set! Nichole, Lisa – you have done it again!
Love the variety of cards you created! I am so excited for the wooden buttons & twine!!
Such a fun set! I think it would be great for scrapbooking – every year I have fireworks/4th of July picnic pictures to scrap!
I like all of the samples you’ve shared with us, but I really like the Enjoy everyday card. Thank you for showing us, once again :o) , how versatile your sets are!
This set I love. Thanks for showing how it can be used for more than just 4th of July!
I am thinking this is my #1 set this month. I cannot wait to see it. TFS!!!
Oooh, this looks like a whole lot of fun to be had with many different uses! I can’t wait for ALL the new goodies!
Lisa, you’ve done it again. This set it amazing~ I love the versatility of these stamps and can’t wait to add this to my collection!!
Through our volunteer organization at work, we send cards to troops stationed overseas. I have never found a 4th of July stamp set I really loved–until now. This one will be a must-have for putting these cards together; plus, they’re so versatile!
I am so excited! I am having a 4th of July party and am going to use this set for my invites. Love, Love, Love the wood buttons and twine!!!!
I am so psyched for Let Freedom Ring! First my husband’s birthday is July 5th, so I love to use patriotic, yet versatile images in party planning for him. Second, we have several family members in the armed forces, and it is just so super to a whole patriotic set to remember them all year by. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!!
Oh, I’m DYING to get this set! I think it’ll be perfect for Fourth of July, but also for recognizing the achievements of my friends and family. Way to go Lisa!
This looks like such a versatile set! I don’t usually make 4th of July cards, but I might have to start this year. 🙂 Thanks for sharing so many great ideas, Nichole and Lisa! And that jute – absolutely love it with those wooden buttons!
Very clever! Much more versitile then I suspected from the peek. As always Lisa does us proud!
Nichole thanks for the lovely projects you created, and the wonderful new products you bring us!
XO

Your creativity continues to astound me! I love today’s projects and how you were able to use this new set in such a variety of ways. I really like the rustic feel of the jute and the wooden buttons!
This is really a versatile set. I can’t wait to get the twine and buttons. Everthing looks amazing!
Rustic buttons, Rustic paper, Rustic twine, hurray! Also, I can’t wait to see the new background text set.
I’m living overseas where July 4th is not celebrated. So, for me, this set would be great for upcoming graduation, birthday and baby cards!
Were doing a big July 4th party this year! Can’t wait to use it for all the little details.
I am loving everything I’ve seen so far. I think the “I Want it All” button is what I’ll be pressing on the 15th!
All the ideas are wonderful. And since the 4th is on a Saturday I’m sure a lot of us will be celebrating big time.
This looks like a great set! I would use it for birthday cards…..and also on some birthday scrapbook pages. Thanks for the opportunity to win this set.
Thank you for showing a few other ways to use Lisa’s stamp. I am not American and was wondering how versatile the stamp set really was.
This set is so cute. I am a sucker for 4th of July type sets, but I love the versatility of this one!! The baby card is adorable… can’t wait to recreate that! 🙂
I love you Happy Birthday card. It is great for boy or girl or even any age. Thanks for the great ideas!
What a versatile set! You are killing me with the previews this month! Looks like I may press the button for one of everything this time. It’ll only hurt until my goodies arrive, then it’s all fun and games.
The versatility of this set looks amazing. I am seeing not only patriotic cards and gifts, but cards and gifts for men, babies, and everyone in between. The fact that it can be used so easily for graduations also makes it a winner in my book!
Wow! Loving the rustic collection! Being from Canada I was afraid that I wouldn’t have a use for this set. You’ve sure demonstrated how it can be used for all around projects, yay!!
Wow Nichole, you totally rocked your samples! I love the baby card & the way to go card. They are stunning! The stars and totally drawing me in! I can see making lots of boy cards with them.
I love the little firecrackers in this set. So cute!
My mind is racing over all of this new stuff. This set has so much potential. I see little “super star” notes in my son’s lunchbox!!
I’d love to win!!
This looks like a really fun set. I’m in love with all the new buttons!!
This is Such an awesome set!! I love stars and use them on alot of different card types!! This looks so versatile. I would love to use this for my upcoming 4th of July BBQ invites. Love your idea. Thanks for an amazing chance to win.
What cute ideas! Love the set!
Love it all!
You are so incredibly creative and such a joy to see all you and your design team come up with every month. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do!

I like the diagonal stripes within the circle.
I would start by using the sparks from the sparklers as flourishes. Very cool.
I think that star image would be fantastic for so many things. Can’t wait to see the full set in all its glory!!
I love the baby card. Wonderful work as always.
Janin
I love your creativity! You always bring out the versatility of each set!
I can’t wait to use this for my 4th of July cards and for a picnic I’m having for my daughter and her friends! Love it!
Barb M.
Great ideas as always. Such a versatile set! Can’t wait to see more.
this is a great set, i love the idea of making invitations for a 4th of july picnic.
I really like the ideas I have seen for making 4th of july picnic items/invitations. So fun! I can see myself wanting to use this set like that. But it is also great to see the versatility of this set. I am very impressed.
Woo I love all the new vintage items! the paper colors and twine are fantastic.
I love the rustic cardstock, twine and buttons. I think they will be great for making father’s day cards!
I love these projects – they are so fantastic! I can’t wait til the release!
Oh my…so many options. I love baby cards with stars and the 4th of July picnic card is awesome. I can’t wait to case it! 🙂
The stars are so versatile!
Love it! I would use this set to create a birthday card for my sis. & bro-in law. They both have July birthdays and it would give some pizazz to a birthday card.
I actually like the idea of using the stars for Christmas cards! Love the samples you’ve shown – beautiful as usual!
I can’t wait to use this set for birthday cards!
This set is really great.I love how they can be used for so many different occasions!
You’ve really shown how versatile this set is. I could totally see ways to use it even though I live on the other side of the world from those of you who celebrate 4th of July! And the twine & wooden buttons – so gorgeous.
love it! I have been absent from the blogging world for about a week…boy did I miss lots!! This is great-
This set is much more versatile than I thought it would be! I immediately saw the firecracker as a candle and Nichole you pulled it off in the birthday card you created!
Thanks for sharing
Kisha
I especially love the new star set… can’t wait to finally see it all.
Another hit for Lisa and PTI! Such great images with so many possibilities. Thanks for such inspiring cards and ideas. And I love the new paper.
Love all the bits and pieces of this set. I think it will be great for boy cards!
Nichole, every month I think that I will catch up with some of the older stamps and accessories, but every month you and your creative co-workers come up with the cutest stuff. I have come to love the 10th through the 15th and am constantly amazed at the fabulous stuff yall come up with. Thanks and best regards, Charlotte
Another great sneak peak!!!! I love the stamps, the twine, and the buttons!!! Great samples!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I didn’t think I would like this set but WOW!!! was I wrong. You showed me how versatile this is with all the projects you did. Thanks for the chance to win this great set.
These would be great for our 5th November celebrations for Bonfire Night in the UK.
Thanks for the chance to win.
xoxo
Love how versatile you have proven this set to be. Seems like a great value!!
Love it! I did not think that it would be very versatile, but you have proven me wrong!
WOW! LOVE the vintage paper, jutes and buttons! Love how versatile Let Freedom Ring is-stars can be used in soooo many ways! You girls ROCK w/ your designs!!
It just doesn’t get any better than this…but it does…every month as we share in the excitement and creativity at Papertrey!
Thanks!
Michelle
Loving all of the new releases!
I love the ruffled embelishment that was on the picnic card. I would totally recreate that for like a 4th of July bunting. We are a big military family, so I can see all kinds of thank yous or party invites or retirement cards with this set. Thanks and Blessings!
Everything is just gorgeous. Your 4th of July invite is wicked~~~can I come to the party?!!!
Guys, guys, guys! The first thought that came to mind, especially with so many family members in the US Navy! Thanks for the chance to win.
Super talent flowing HERE! Everything is Fresh, versatile, and FUN! Can’t wait for the reveal of all the sets.
This set is really more versatile than I thought it would be. I love the birthday card using the firecrackers as candles…great idea.
I can see so many possibilities for this set, as most of the PTI sets. How do you do it month after month?
I can see great possibilities with this stamp set. Love the diagonal background you created and the one using the firecracker swirley was very creative. TFS Would love to win a set.
I love how versatile this is! And those buttons are fabulous!
I love how you showed this set’s use in many different ways. For only $15 that sees like a real bargain. I think I could use this set for the many masculine cards I need to make. Thanks for the chance to win this set along with the twine.
I am over the Top for this new set “Let Freedom Ring”! How fun and versatile it is. I am totally thrilled for the new jute string. I emailed a request oodles ago, hopeing someday you’d carry some that looked as sharp as this does! The new buttons look very fun also. My mind is racing with ideas!!! Thanks for the chance at the drawing. This is a great sneak peek!!!
The varied stripe makes me think of a madras plaid. I’d like to try making one with lots of bright pastels!
Looks like some great versitility in this new set. Soooo many options!
We recently bought our first house. In our city we can shoot fireworks and usually have a pretty big show. I’m planning on having a party at our house to celebrate many things and this set would be perfect to make invitations! Plus I could make party favors and be the talk of the party, LOL! Thank you for the opportunity to win this set – it’s awesome!
My nephew was born on the fourth of July, this would be a fun set to use for cards in his honor.
I really like this set. Who would have thought that you could use a patriotic set in so many different ways!
This is definitely a must have for me!!! I LOVE this!!
I can’t believe how versitile this set is. I love the combination of back ground and image stamps included in this set.
Just when you think it can’t get better, it does. I LOVE the Spring Moss buttons and the star prints and the birds and Let Freedom Ring! Congrats to you all.
I see projects using the new Lunch Box tote from My Timeless Templates, and fun stuff for Grads, Dad’s, and kids! As with Heart Prints, the possibilities are endless!
We have always wanted to have a 4th of July Barbeque, and this year we have the yard to do it! So I would make invitations and the works with this set!
So many wonderful additions – as always. I chuckled when I saw todays preview of ‘Let Freedom Ring’. While I’m a Canadian and don’t celebrate the 4th of July, we have our own celebration of our country on July 1st and do much the same – fireworks, firecrackers, picnics and all that jazz. However, what made me chuckle was the dotted swirl image and how you turned it into a background. I just finished a scrapbook for a woman and ‘created’ a dotted swirl image on the cover page and the last page out of a small (probably 1/16″) circle punch. It’s almost identical to the now much easier stamp!!!!! *laughing*
What can I say….Beee..uuut..teee..ful!!
This set Shines!!!!
i have just found you. i really like the fonts of the sentiments. re: this stamp set…i am not a big 4th of july fan, so i enjoyed seeing other ways to use the set. i am always looking for alternatives to anything! makes things more versitile! extremely terrific artwork to show off these little gems!
I am amazed at how you make each set seem so versatile. Really thinking outside the stamping box!
I love the firecrackers used as bday candles–very clever 🙂
The cards are wonderful!!! I’m already thinking ahead to see how can I design one.
Great cards! You’ve done it again!
Wonderful projects! Even though I’m not American I’m sure I can use almost all of the images from this stamp set, especially since you’ve shown some of the possibilities. They’re great!
This is great! I love the month of july and everything that comes with that month – summer, the 4th, my birthday…this set will come in very very handy!!!
Again, it looks like a great versatile set.
Stars are always classic! So glad PTI has a set of them now!
Such a versatile set – love it!! Love the wooden buttons too!! Thanks for the chance to win-
Cute set. I like the happy birthday card best. Thanks for the chance to win this set.
I would love to have the set to make an awesome card for my mother’s birthday on July 1st! Thanks for sharing! Carla G.
I love all those cards featured in today’s post! They’re giving me some good ideas!
My best friend has asked me to create a wallhanging for her to document our frienship of 37 years. She is a patriotic person and her decor reflects that so I would LOVE to make her gift with this set. Thanks, ms.cheryl
I always love your simple and clean ideas that make your projects so classy. They really spark my creativity and I can’t wait to see all the new products.
I want to do a July 4th get-together this year, so this would be so sweet to win!
LOVE all the new stuff I’m seeing … Can’t wait for the 15th!!!
So many good ideas. I especially could use the graduate card, but afraid I won’t be able to get it in time. Maybe I could save it for the college graduates next year. It is surprising to me the many ways all the stamps can be used.
Oh, what another fantastic set. I can actually see Christmas cards made from the stamps that I’ve seen.
I love every project you made with this set. I never would have imagined it could be so versatile!
I am so excited for Let Freedom Ring! The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! We always have a party at our home that evening as we wait for fireworks to begin. We can see a stunning fireworks show right in our own backyard. We always churn home-made ice-cream as we wait for it to get dark. I know exactly what my invitations for this years party will be!
I can’t wait to make some manly cards with the new twine and wooden buttons!
I love how versatile this set is. Brilliant idea to use it for birthdays. Love it!
So fun! I love that you broke away from the non-alterable 4th of July set and made something that can be used all year round!
You have done an amazing job! I love the plaid on a diagonal on the pink and green card. I love how one of the stamps can be a candle or a firework. I especially like the star on circle card. So cute! I would use the stars and candles on lots of birthday cards.
Oh wow- so MANY fantastic cards today. I was just really struck again at how talented you are! I thought the firecrackers would make great candles when i saw them on the sneek peak!
I would most likely use the star set for making holiday cards and birthday cards. Love all the ideas that have been shared so far.
This is such a versatile set and would also be great for invitations and favors for a New Year’s Eve party. Thanks so much for a chance to win!
LOVE these ideas! Especially the baby card!
More versatile than I thought! Wow!
I can use this set for a masculine birthday, honoring our military folks, 4th of July invitations and congratulations cards. Lots and lots of ideas!
Mary C
I can’t wait until the 15th to be able to see all of these new stamp sets! I can tell that the 4th of July set will be very handy for many occasions. Thanks for always coming up with such great ideas – I hope I win!
Love it!! Another must have set!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
Love it!
I’m loving all your ideas for using stamps in different ways than the original theme of the set. I can’t imagine any other company that thinks their products through as much as PTI does! Thanks for the chance to win.
I knew when I saw the first fire cracker sneak peak it would be a great set! Love the wooden buttons, twine and vintage colors of the cream and white cardstock too.
This looks like a very versatile set. I’ll be ‘borrowing’ the grad card for my nephew.
I think this new set is going to be another winner. I t is so versatile. I love the new wood buttons and the twine, I can’t wait!
Love the twine and buttons- those are awesome!
This set looks much more versatile than I originally thought. I love the way your and the team think outside the box with some of your ideas. I like the way the stars can be used for graduation, sports, and birthdays.
Beautiful projects. I’m still loving all of the background texture. And I loved the Happy Birthday “candles”. What fun!!!
Wow! Creativity overload! I love the versatility of this stamp set as shown on the stamped paper on the girly pink card! I also love all the new “rustics”: paper basics, twine and buttons (which look great on the invitation)! Thank you for the accordian pleat tutorial. I also love how the background text style keeps showing up on EVERYTHING! I can’t wait for the next preview!
The baby and graduation cards are my favorite; I love seeing y’all use the sets in less than obvious ways. I think I’m most excited, though, about the paper and string and buttons – oh my! What wonderful additions to the PTI family. Looks like it will be another expensive month for me. Thanks!
We have loads of birthdays in July (including mine!) and I can’t wait to get this set to start “playing!”
Thanks so much for these wonderful, inspirational ideas!!
As an Aussie, I was worried that this set would be too American for me to use, but your cards have convinced me otherwise Nichole.
rah, rah for Lisa! I’ve always loved all things Americana so this set is a must have for me.
i always love Lisa’s sets! this one is no exception 🙂 great job!
Hi Nichole!
I think that stamp set would work wonderfully for a graduation card.
Thanks for a chance to win!
Well I cant think of have any novel ideas different from those above….but you, Nichole, certainly have shown how to take full advantage of this set.
I like the versitility of this set!
I really liked the last project in this post. Definitely want to case that. Always looking for ways to make hand-stamped patterned papers.
I would LOVE this set to make 4th of July invites! We haven’t done anything exciting for 4th of July for several years and I would LOVE to be able to throw a party this year! Thanks so much for this versatile set!
I love Fourth of July, so would find this set of extreme help in creating decorations for our Fourth of July Dinner!
What you have shown demonstrating the versatility of this set really gets the creative juices flowing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards and thanks to Lisa for creating another winning set. Ann Lind
I’ve got a number of baby cards to make this summer and I think this set will be perfect for that!
I’m a nut for Americana stuff, so I really love this set. I will use if for graduations, Father’s Day, birthdays and definitely the 4th of July! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love all the different, unexpected patterns this set can be used to make! Excellent!
It all looks so good but I am particularly liking the baby card with the stitching on it! I love stitching on cards. I haven’t used my sewing machine for sewing fabric in months!
Wow! So much yummy eye candy in this post!!
Gorgeous cards! I don’t know if I could have imagined the versatility of this set! And I am loving the jute and wooden buttons. Another marvelous release!
Those are some awesome idea. Love every one of them especially the girly one. Thanks for sharing!
i love the stars, and how you can use even the firecracker bursts as background… fabulous!
I love the twine and buttons but it is amazing how creative you have been with Lisa’s new set! Can’t wait to see what all comes with it!
What a great set! Thanks for showing us so many versitile ways to use it Nichole!!
The versatility of the PTI stamp sets is one of the reasons I am so addicted! As a creative soul, I reside “outside the box” very comfortably! I am anxious to explore the different ways the stamps can be used. I especially want to experiment with the firecracker image in various colors to see what images I can build with it.
This is a super fun set…….so versatile! Congratulations Lisa on another fab set.
Great idea! I wasn’t planning on having a 4th of July party, but what an excuse to buy this set. I don’t think my husband will suspect anything.
Wow, I love all the things you did with this set!! At first I wasn’t sure how versatile it would be….but I am so amazed now! I especially love your baby card and will definitely be casing it 🙂
Love the projects and makes me thinks of lots of possibilities, especially for the 4th of July celebrations.
Cards for men are so challenging for me and the rustic buttons are a great addition.
This is the set for me: lots of possibilities, and I love the rustic wooden buttons! Thanks for sharing.
Lovely!! I’m thinking baby announcements?!?! Great inspiration :0)
I have a 4th of July baby (well, hardly a baby, he’s 24), so I always like to see sets that I can use to make a birthday card. I like the congratulations card you made with the stars too!
I love all of the ideas for this set! I know now I will have to get this set. Can’t wait until the 15th!
I HAVE to make that 4th of July invitation for our family reunion. LOOOOOVE IT!! Also, I can’t wait to make the grad card that Lisa Johnson made and of course that lunch pail template from Lauren is to die for. New twine, paper, ink and buttons. Oh is my pocketbook in for it this month and we still have two more days to go. Really want to try the birthday card you made here too.
Leave it to Lisa to create a patriotic set that is so incredibly versatile! This is might be my favorite set she’s made so far!!
I have been searching for masculine card ideas lately, and boy do I have some now with the products you highlighted today–thanks!
This is terrific … I never would have guessed it could be this versatile! What will you think of next?! *smile*
This set does look very versatile! And I love the $15 price tag!
Very impressive, can’t wait until the 15th. Nicole you are such an inspiration, thanks for all the great ideas.
What a surprisingly versatile set! I don’t expect any less from a Papertrey Stamp Set!
Very versatile! I really love what you did w/ the baby card – love the sentiment it is so perfect!
I love all the projects and the different ways you used Lisa’s set. Always inspiring!
I just love all your new designs! The ideas you’ve shown are beautiful. Thank you!
Love this set, you just can’t live without stars!
Oh my goodness these are amazing! Well – FIRST I would use this set to make amazing BD cards for a good friend whose BD is JULY 4. I never know what to do for him – I usually buy some DP at my local stamp store but this would be a rockin awesome set to use! WAY TO GO LISA
This stamp set will be perfect to create table decorations for my son’s 5th grade graduation school celebration. The theme is the “red carpet–Hollywood style” so the stars in the stamp set will be used to showcase the stars of the day–the graduating class. Perfect timing as always, Nichole, and thank you for the opportunity to win such a wonderful prize.
Love the firecrackers!!!! A must. Thanks for the great ideas.
Cute set. I like the thought of the fire cracker/birthday candle with the fresh colors you’ve used. I just love this time of the month!!! (All the wonderful inspiration–Thanks!)
I especially love the way you made the background papers using the stripes and swirls. That is definitely a must-try!
You have once again outdone yourself!!! Love the twine and buttons especially.
So very cute cards! I would use this set for cards and scrapbook pages. would love to win. thanks.
Lisa is my favorite designer. Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas.
This looks like another awesome set- thanks for all the inspiration on other ways to use it!!
Your stamps keep getting better, if that’s possible…
I’d love to combine the stars that have dashs and solid lines with the stripe trio image…and use that to embellish a page about 4th of July spent at a friend’s house…
I’ve always wanted to do a star themed room for our boys! I would stamp pale yellow stars all over their denim blue walls!
I’d also have to do a scrapbook page in memory of my Grandma who was born on the 4th of July, 1918. She just passed away in 2008 (On Sept 11th, ironically!) at the age of 90!
I have a thing about stars – for me, they rank highly – second only to flowers on my cards, so this set is perfect for me!
Every month I am fascinated by everything you and your team come up with!
Love the Stars! I am looking forward to the release.
I’m just loving how versatile the stamps truly are!! It’s so great seeing them used in so many different ways!!
Love the wooden buttons and twine. Always on the lookout for twine that is easy to tie- most of them are too thick and hard.
Love Lisa’s patriotic set too – those fire cracker candles are adorable!
Anette(snowmom13)
Wonderful set!! I can see it’s very versatile, too! I can’t wait to play 🙂
Great cards! I especially like the 4th of July picnic card. Love the accordian cirle. It reminds me of County Fair rosettes on prize ribbons! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love how versatile this set is. Everything looks amazing. Beautiful work.
What a darling set! I especially love the baby card. Once I get the set, I’m going to have to copy the card:o)
Wish I had it tonight to make my daughter’s sleepover invitations – a night under the stars! I could see Father’s Day, Memorial Day, Teacher Appreciation, etc!
Thanks for the chance to win!
A baby card – what a great idea! Thanks for bringing us another stamp set at the $15 price. Considering the current economic climate, it makes us feel less guilty about our guilty pleasures when we’re getting quality and affordability.
I just love the stamp that makes the plaid! I already have the GuideLines paper, so I might need to get the set that goes with it!!
