Back in October, we participated in a fabulous Caribbean stamping cruise. While making preparations for ALL the wonderful goodies we would give away at the event, we knew we wanted to pre-release something special with a nautical theme as a special treat to the cruise-goers! Candice Aguilar just happened to have something put together that fit the bill perfectly and here we are nine months later officially releasing it to the public!
The details.
- Out to Sea will become available for purchase on July 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- It includes 11 nautical themed images and 9 coordinating sentiments.
You know I'm all about finding great inspiration before starting in on any project. I found that…
Coastal Living magazine & their website
…really got me going with this set. All of the photos pertain to the sea and therefore offer both color inspiration and general ideas as to how to showcase this new stamp set at it's best! This was one of my favorite photos that I ran across. Isn't it dreamy! *sigh* Wish I was there!

I just LOVED the color combo found in the slipcovers paired with the crisp white furnishings & walls. I translated that into Papertrey colors, New Leaf & Aqua Mist. I heat embossed a background created with Polka Dot Basics II onto Aqua Mist cardstock using our Clear Filigree Embossing Powder. (It's all Dawn's fault!) Love the way that turned out! The grid pattern on the new leaf was created with Journaling Lines set and Versamark ink.
The fabulous HUGE compass rose image is from Out to Sea. The letters representing the different directions are each separate, so you can choose to place them at the ends of the large points or between them, like I did here. The compass is stamped in Fresh Snow ink directly on top of the grid pattern.
I added the stitched border to represent waves & the ocean in an abstract kind of way. I love how it turned out and it accents the sentiment to nicely too.

The style of this card is quite a bit different from the first, going a bit more masculine & vintage. The little pennant flags are one of my favorite accents on this piece! They were SO fun to make! They were stamped as using many of our popular background sets. From left to right, I used Let Freedom Ring (striped image), Polka Dot Basics II and Journaling Lines. Little bits of Enchanted Evening cardstock were added to the tops of each pennant and trimmed with pinking shears.
I also used the adorable pair of crossed oars from Out to Sea in addition to the stylish nautical stars.
I gave the oars a bit of a special treatment to make them a bit more textural and realistic. I inked them with Cognac Palette ink and then went over the stamp with a fine tooth comb, LITERALLY! Just one little swoop is all it takes! You want to apply a fair amount of pressure so that you scrape off the ink with the comb.
Then you just stamp it! The comb creates almost a woodgrain type of texture. It's a quick, fun & easy technique that urge you to play around with! I thought this font combination from Vintage Picnic was the perfect happy birthday sentiment to add as a second layer on top of the oars. I love when I am able to layer stamps like that!
The nautical-styled stars were cut out and attached the card with foam tape. It's almost like having a free embellishment to use over and over again instead of brads or buttons. These little stars just make THE best accents!
Another inspiration photo, courtesy of Coastal Living. I loved the bold contrast in this room and thought that it just screamed nautical style.

I decided to apply the scheme to a card prefect for a little boy, an area I always struggle in. I was so happy with the way this turned out! This little sailor hat and sentiment are from Out to Sea and they work perfectly together for my chosen theme. The hat was stamped with Enchanted Evening ink and then just a few strokes of Copic Marker T1 were added to create some shadows and shading. I cut out a little snippet of red cardstock to form a bitty flag to adorn the hat. It also helped to emphasize my rule of threes when it comes to accent colors.
The sentiment seemed to have the perfect place to add a border stemming from the left side, so I obliged with this pretty little row of cross-stitches done with embroidery floss. Since I pre-pierced the holes first, it only took a few seconds to complete my stitching. I just love this little card! It makes me think of my little Ethan!
This is the next room I used as inspiration (again, courtesy of Coastal Living). Don't you just love it?
(click on above image for larger view)
I thought the citrusy orange color would work perfectly with this life preserver image from Candice's set. I used Kraft & White as my companion colors. The little life preserver is so easy to cut out using circle punches.
You want to start by punching a 1/2" circle first and then stamping your preserver around it, which is easy to do with clear stamps! Here I used Orangerie Palette ink.
Then use a 1-3/8" circle punch for the exterior. Using these two punches gives you a perfectly equal border on the inside and outside of the preserver.
The rope/chain image included with the set works perfectly behind the preserver. The polka dots were added using Polka Dot Basics II with Versamark ink. I also used my ScorPal above and below the polka dot strip to create an embossed accent line.
The life preserver was wound with some cotton crochet thread to give the illusion of rope. I though that the addition of the tiny bow was a nice finishing touch for the project.
Isn't this set so fresh & fun? I love getting to stamp with something unique and gets me to exercise my creativity and think outside the box! I hope you enjoyed my presentation today! I would love to hear from you in regards to this new set! Are you an ocean-lover like me? Do you happen to have the luxury of living near the ocean (I'm so jealous!) ? If nothing else, did you learn anything new today that you think you will be able to use in the future?

You are all amazing, it’s so great to see the new releases every month! I LOVE Paper Trey!!! 😀
As alwasys, I love the samples you created with the set. I love the pendants across of the top of that card. It would be fun to stamp letters in it also for a banner option.
Love this set and love the new colour. I’ve been waiting for this colour.
Loving the new Out To Sea set! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Another amazing set!
I love the beach, the ocean, the sun, the restful, calming tides . . . (sigh) One of these days I WILL live there . . .
Hugs,
Colleen
This set is so cute. I love that little life preserver. Another winner 🙂
Another amazing set! Can’t wait to stamp with it!
Is it the 15th yet??? I love your technique with the comb! So clever! The inspiration pictures were beautiful. love that new blue… can hardly wait ’til the 15th!
Ooooh, I love this set! And the photos you found for inspiration are perfect! I can see lots of fun cards on the ‘horizon; with this set!
Kathy Camasso
I was really thinking that this set was not my style. But after spending Saturday on our boat and seeing all these cute designs, I think I have to have it, LOL~
It will nicely fill a void in my collection for more masculine sets.
The final card is my favorite! Is that a new PTI color? Yay! Can’t wait to see the beautiful ribbon in that tone. 🙂 Great set Candice!
Love the samples made with set. So cute and great color combos! Can’t wait to see the whole set.
I love the images, and the inspiration pieces for your samples for this set. It makes me wish I had a cabin at the beach, or at least a great vacation there.
A perfect summer set with lots of versatility! Any a few punny sentiments to boot. 😉
OMG unbelievable set! I love the orange and kraft color combi!
I love this set! We take a special fishing trip each year as a family and I can envision pages done with this set! I can’t wait to get my hands on Enchanted Evening-what a stunning color!
This set is so fun! I love the wood grain tip using the comb and that you can use a circle punch for the life preserver. I can’t wait to get this!!
these are fantastic. i especially love the first one, and the stitching in it–which i’m pretty sure i’m too scared to ever consider doing 😉
These are fabulous cards! The lifesaver one is my favorite–perfect for a friend who’s going through tough times.
This is great!! I need a new set to use for masculine cards… there aren’t that many great ones out there… except for the PTI sets of course!
Love this set and can’t wait to play.
Love all the details you’ve added to the cards. Can’t wait to try some of the techniques! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m surprised we haven’t seen more of this set so far in the galleries as the images are so darn cute! I really love the way you combed the oar image – it adds such a great wood-like texture. This looks like it will be another must-have set for all things masculine.
What a fun set!!! Love your cards too!
Wow Nicole. I love the pictures. I love the nautical stamp set. It is nicely masculine.
I love the colors! Can’t wait to see everything.
All the projects are beautiful but I just love the life preserver with the thread wrapped around it. It makes it looks so realistic. I could see using this idea for a little boy card too.
Another great set! Thank you for releasing this special set to the rest of us!!!
I’m loving all of the punny sentiments that are being released this month. I also really enjoy when you post your inspiration photos with your work. It really helps me envision how to get from a room to a card. Thanks for all of the inspiration.
I love anything with a beach or nautical theme so I’m wild about this set! Using a comb to create the woodgrain look on the oars is a brilliant idea. Enchanted Evening is such a beautiful shade of blue. Love it!
Awesome work and stamps =)
This is so cute and adorable! I love the new color and the new set!
I love that you another masculine set to offer! And Im also loving the color combos you’ve put together. Yummy!
The new color is sure to be a fabulous companion with this set…love how masculine it all can be!
I think this is a great masculine set & we can never have enough of those!!! Love the color combos you’ve used too!!!
What a beautiful set! I love that there are masculine images but that they could be used for almost anything when paired with other sets. Another great job!
I love the color so much! I cant wait!!! Need to buy all!
What a fun set. A nice masculine one too.
Cute set. I wish I could have gone on that cruise!!
Your projects are amazing and once again you make every stamp set a ‘must have’ set.
very cute set! and the thing with the oars and the comb? genius!!
I’m definitely an ocean-lover like you! I live about an hour from the ocean, but I love seeing it many times per year.
I always learn a lot from you. I loved hearing about the rules of 3. I love how you stitch (both machine and by hand). It’s unexpected and fresh. Using a comb on the oars…genius! Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for a chance to win!
Beautiful stamps, inspiring ideas. I love this set and the colors you chose. Great job!
This set looks perfect for any beach or ocean lover. The card with the sailor hat is just perfect for a little boy.
That life preserver with the twine is just so cute!
I’m really excited to see this whole set! We have a boat and I could see so many uses for the nautical theme!! And that comb technique? FUN! All the card samples were FAB!!! I’m relatively new to PTI- and I’m loving all that I see!
I love your inspiration – terrific tip with the wood paddles. Who would’ve thought! 🙂 Love all of the cards especially the last second and last one.
You really have selected an amazing team of stamp designers — each one so different, but all SO talented! Looks like another terrific release in the works!
Love the new color, and the samples you made are great! Another classic set.
I love how you take inspiration from the rooms and translate it to cards! This set will be great for masculine cards, which I need!
I would love to live by the sea!! But it is far far away…This set is great, perfect for masculine cards!! I never know what to use for them, now I`ll have perfect stamps for them!
Adorable cards Nichole….I especially love the oars that look so real with the comb technique.
I enjoyed EACH card – wonderful!!!
I’m getting ready to go on a cruise; I have a feeling I’ll need this set to go with all my photos! Can’t wait to see it all!
I had forgotten about this set, but I was very interested in it back when we first heard about it after the cruise. I can’t wait to check it out in person!
Oh Boy another set to use for a masculine touch. Good news! Love the pictures, I wantto be there too.
Great set, great cards. Especially the life preserver card. Love them!
Wow! So cool! And OMG what you did with the comb!! Woodgrain is so trendy right now and this is perfect! Thank you!!
Thank you for bringing these images to life – they look like so much fun!
I was in the Navy, so this set is for me.
I am an ocean lover and always will be!! The cool colors of the sea are also my favorites! I definitely was inspired and learned how to make a cute life preserver today! 🙂 Loved ALL of the cards! Each of them is just my style and so clean and crisp!
I love the photo inspiration you’ve chosen. I live very close to the beach and could use a set like this for beach-y projects!
Love the new nautical stampset, the new color and the magazine! Would love to own a waterfront property one of these days .. sigh .. and spend my days creating beautiful cards with all Papertrey products. Need to go buy lottery ticket tomorrow:)!
Terrific nautical stamp set! Love your sample projects too! Great for masculine cards.
This is a really fun set! Those rooms are really inspirational. I especially love the orange/kraft/white room and its cute card. I also LOVE My Little Sailor. Those crossstitch X’s are simple and perfect. I will definitely try to think more outside the box when it comes to floss and ribbon. no more straight stitch for me!!
Wow this is a lovely set so perfect for summer cards. I love your cards also.
Janette
oh what beautiful stamps and sentiment! I was born and raised on an island so I’m totally feeling the nautical vibes! Ahoy! haha, very cute, I love it, very nice cards!
Clouds 😀
What a great set for the men in our lives!
Oh, I definitely need that nice big compass rose! There’s just something so cool about their geometry that I always have to have them when I see them.
wow! my fav is the little sailor card! I would love to give it to all the little boys I know!
I love the ocean & I did have the privilege of spending childhood summers at my grandmother’s beach house. I am excited for this set….I love everything beach & ocean related!
I love it!!!
Loved the beautiful inspirational photos and the wonderful interpretations. Opening up a whole new way for me to get inspiration for my own artwork.
Super cut set! I love the “My Little Sailor” card.
This is a really cool set! It makes me think of Cape Cod. I need to visit there one day!
This set is SO adorable! What a fun theme of stamps…I am really loving the sentiments so far for it!
~Lea
I’ve lived my whole life within a few miles of the Baltic Sea. I’m not a “water person”, but I couldn’t really imagine myself living “landlocked” either. I currently live on an island (although it’s sometimes hard to tell that it is indeed an island), and it certainly has its advantages when the weather gets hot.
These cards are really clever and fresh!
This is a great set for masculine cards! I especially love the mariner’s compass.
Thanks for all the tips and inspiration! I definitely will start gathering some home décor magazines for color inspiration! I also can’t wait to try out the clear embossing idea with polka dot basics!
What a fun set!! I love the samples you created with this set. Thanks for sharing your technique with to create this woodgrainy pattern – I will definitively try this!!
What a fun summer set! I love how you included photos of the inspiration rooms. It’s so neat to see where you draw inspiration from and it helps me see how to pull creativity from something else that I might love onto a project!
Having just spend a week at the beach, I would love to have this set to scrap our trip!!! It would be a record if I could get all our pics scrapped before our next vacation came this summer. I’m totally buying this set on the 15th if I don’t win it before!!!! LOVE IT TO PIECES!!!!
i love the blue and green card…:)
Everytime I read your blog I learn something new. AMAZING!
Great theme for a stamp set.
This is the cutest set ever! I just love that little sailor hat (with your flag of red) and the life preserver with the twine is just adorable!!! Nice job! Thanks for the opportunity to win this set!
Love all of those looks! Can’t wait to see the whole set!
What a fantastic idea to use the comb to add texture- an amazing result when stamped! Thanks for the fabulous tip. Also loved the white string around the lifebelt- really gives it that special touch.
Yet another adorable set, I don’t know how you do it! Love it! :O)
Its great to have something for the boys!! Love Love Love this set!
Far out! this is a great set, and lovin’ those rooms. Your not the only one jealous;) I would love one of those rooms and the view – sigh!! I just love your cards too and the red cross stitching looks so cool.
From the sentiment to the images, this is just awesome! My husband is in the Navy, so I can see using the sailor hat and the fair winds sentiment for retirement cards, so creative and it fills a void in my stamping stash.
Wonderful set! I love the woodgrain look with the toothpick – where do you come up with all these great ideas?!?! Loving the new blue too…
Truly awesome color combinations Nichole. I can definitely see being able to do more masculine themed cards using this set.
thanks much
I love the texture you gave the oars. I will have to add that to my list of techniques. I also love the ocean. I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida and now live in Rota, Spain (thanks to the military). We are on the atlantic side. I can see the water from my house and we are only a 30 minute drive to the Mediterranean sea. I cannot imagine living landlocked. Thanks for another fantastic month. I am ready for the 15th so I can place my order!
I love the rubber ring (life preserver) card! And the stitching on your first card … Nichole you rock!
First of all, thanks for the chance to win. I don’t live very far from the ocean so this set is very appealing. I love the details. I can’t wait to see the whole set.
This nautical set is awesome! What a way to jazz up my cruise pictures we that we took in January for a family trip!
So fresh – I love it. I live a 5 min drive from the North Sea in Scotland and I love it. I see it almost everyday and love the changing moods. xx
My family spent many a weekend and vacation at the coast growing up…this set brings back so many great memories!
I’m very blessed to live on the coast. We love spending long afternoons at the beach during the warmer months. This is such a cute set and would be perfect for my Christmas Cards this year (living in Australia means a summer Christmas -I love it!!). I would be SO thrilled to win this set!
You ALWAYS give us something new we can store away for future reference Nichole! The wood effect with a comb is just brilliant – I’ll be looking through my stamp collection for something suitable to try it out on very soon!
This set looks great! Your projects are fantastic and the comb idea is genius. Thanks for sharing your great talent and ideas!!
So glad we finally get to see the cruise set! I love that you had tailored it to the cruise with a nautical team.
I really like the fact that the direction letters for the compass are separate so they can be stamped at the ends of the large points or between them. Love that kind of versatility. I had never thought about that for compasses, but of course you did.
Thanks for the giveaways!
This set is just amazing. LOVE the nautical theme and that it can be used for boys and men alike.
It is really great that you are providing fun nautical stamps, it is a nice change to the very detailed ships and such stamps on the market and provides a great cross-range of uses for young and old!
I love Coastal Living and all your cards are TOO cute!
your inspirational pictures are beautiful, and your cards are wonderful. the attention to detail with each new project helps me to “think outside the box.” thank you for that, nicole!
Ahoy, matey! Another fantastic set! Love the pennants. This set is a great addition since it works with more masculine cards.
Love your cards and tips.
Love the nautical theme – great images in the set. I love the sentiments I saw on Mish’s blog!
Your cards are fantastic! I especially like the pennants on the oar card. This is such a fun set! It has so many uses. I can see it for masculine cards, pick-me-up cards, summery cards and on and on… Thanks for such a great count down.
Beautiful stamps, inspiring ideas. I love this set and the colors you choose.
Fab!
Loving all the samples. I think the stamps would look fab with the sailboat from Men of Life.
This set looks like a ton of fun. Love the nautical theme on it.
ok, using the comb that way is another brilliant move. literally! it gives me so many other ideas. love this set, especially the lifesaver.
Very cool set! Love the nautical theme—it is perfect as we have a lake in the town we live in! Great samples!
The sailing theme is not my thing but the cards are beautiful!
Can’t wait to use this set in combination with my Men Of Life Set.
Beautiful set! Love the inspiration
I absolutely love your new set Out to Sea, I think it is so serene and relaxing to stamp scenes of the ocean.
What a fun set! Not something I would have thought I needed but your samples are changing my mind ;).
we have 26 feet of summer fun at the best beach in Canada…Sauble Beach (we have a trailer!) I can hardly wait to get there this weekend…this set is perfect!
Oh isn’t this cute! And I love the little sailor sentiment – – little boys are hard to make cards for agreed…..hard to design a card that’s not foofy and also hard to find sentiments to work for them.
Believe it or not, I live in the woods near the ocean! None of those bright light interiors for me, lol! I had not thought of using the floss for more than button ties until this release, so now I need to put some on the baby cards!
Wow! What fantastic samples! Thanks for sharing the inspiration behind the cards as well – this is something that I have to take advantage of. I love to browse through magazines, but rarely take the time to pull out pages that inspire me. The color combos are great!!!
I love the fresh clean look of each of the projects using this wonderful set, and the stitching on each card looks fantastic! The colour schemes were great and I love how each of the stamped images were showcased. Great job!
I live 1 1/2 hours from the ocean and find it so relaxing to be there listening to the ocean waves! Love the new set and colors! Thanks for sharing your cards, my favorite is the sailor cap.
WOW!! Love this set…so many possibilities!
Very cute!
Awesome Nichole! Your photo inspriation is fantastic and your projects are just perfect (as always!) I live in S. Florida, less than a mile from the beach so I would absolutley love this set.
What a great set! This would be great for cards to send out to guys who love the water (and I know lots living here in my little seaside town!).
ONce again–love this nautical set! The orange color on the last card–I sure do wish it were a Papertrey color. I’m wanting bright orange! I would love to pair it up with your new blue color.
What a cute set!
This is such a cute set! My sister lives near the Jersey shore. We go there often during the summer. Beach themes are big in my family.
What a great set! And I love the “wood graining” technique!
Love the techniques used with this set. Everything is so “breezy.” Now I want to go on a cruise!
It is so nice to see a ‘nautical’ set Paper Style (ie very, very versatile). It is like getting 2 or 3 sets in one!
It’s the colors you used that made these so adorable! Love it!
We recently purchased a waterfront lot on Galveston Bay and are in the process of getting a home designed for the lot. We also have a boat that we take out into the Gulf so I love nautical. Our current home is a few miles from the water but we will be living waterfront full time in about a year. Can’t wait. I love your projects and the nautical themed stamps. I look forward to seeing the whole set. Thanks for the chance to win this set and the color collections.
This set is so cool! I just loved the concept of taking the comb over the stamp for the oars!
Your cards are spectacular with this set!!
Brilliant cards!! I love the little touches of stitching. this is an adorable set!
This set is stunning – I cant wait to see the rest of it!
Wonderful – Thank you 🙂
Holy moly, this set is just incredible. I love the images I have seen so far and think that it is ver versatile. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
How cute! I love the idea of using the comb on the oars.
I love how you demonstrated how you use a picture as inspiration to create a card. The set looks wonderful. I especially like it because it is perfect for making masculine cards.
Amazing that such unique and stamp sets seem so effortless to create. You and your team are so talented! This set is wonderful, I love the beach. Your samples are great!!!
Love all your inspiration pieces and how you translated them into your own creations. So inspiring!
I love this stamp set. This is the closest I will ever get to owning my own boat so this is a must have!
What an awesome set. Can’t wait to get it. Between this set and the Life’s a Beach set…perfect for summer!
eeek! So perfect!
Not only do I live by the ocean, I work for the Office of Boating Safety. These stamps are perfect!
Great cards!
I really need this set! I’m going on a cruise and this would be perfect for my scrapbooking!
Everyone just gets better and better
What a great set! Its funny…I live near the Ocean-but wish sometimes I live up north like you do! Hurricanes stink!! 🙂 I always admire the pictures of your big back yard in the country and wish I was back in the country! Thanks Nicole!
Since I spend the winters in Florida, I will be using Out to Sea over and over againl. Love it!
I love what you show us everyday but Lauren meador just blows me away. Everything she touches is gold. She has more talent than most of us could even dream of!
I think this set is very versatile, fantastic for those ‘male’ or teenage themed cards that are always so tricky. Also great for bon voyage or holiday!
Lou
wowy-wow-wow!!!
yes i did learn something today. love the idea of running a comb across the image before stamping. i have some ideas already!
I love boats and anything nautical, so this set is calling my name!
What a great set! Thanks for the chance to win!
You did a great job with the inspiration from the magazines!! I don’t live near the ocean, but would still love this set and am really liking the enchanted evening color!!
I have to be near water, it’s very calming and I’ve found over the years that lots of sun keeps me happy (literally). I’ve lived in some wonderful places in the northeast and midwest, but I keep coming back to Florida. So, I always have to have the beach and water related sets. I still play with Day at the Beach everyday, and Out to Sea looks wonderful. I really liked the little life preserver with the twine, very cool!
The cruise-goers were lucky in so many ways. One is that they have had this set for 9 months already. I love how it and the photos from Coastal Living inspired your cards.
“Land Ho!” Can’t wait for this one to dock! My Grandparents use to own a pontoon boat and this brings back so many wonderful childhood memories. Thank you!
Great projects. I love seeing the inspiration pieces for them. I’m in love with the color blue and you have introduced another awesome shade. Can’t wait to get it!!
Kara
Love the cards you’ve created. This looks like a great set for masculine cards (so challenging). BTW, I love your blue ribbon style! Thanks for the ideas and chance!
What a darling set! Hope there is another cruise coming soon.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
I love what you did with that oar image to create the feel of wood! so clever! what a fun set!
I used to live near the ocean when we lived in FL. while I don’t miss the living in FL part, I do miss the ocean. I would try every day to at least drive by to look at it. The water brought me such peace.
Very cute set! I do love the ocean, but I live about as far as you can get from it (MN)! 🙂
Another adorable set! I really like the ocean but my true love is Lake Erie! We spend every weekend during the summer months at the little cottage by the lake. I met my husband there 24 years ago when I was 11 years old! Our life seems to revolve around water and our true happiness is being able to enjoy such an awesome resource. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Heather B.
Very cute and some Great cards!
What a wonderful set Candice has designed; would love to own it especially since this is the perfect season for using it! The sailor hat card is adorable.
Yes! A masculine set! I am always in need of cards for men. I love the nautical theme. Even if they aren’t into sailing, this set looks like it has enough stamps that you can use to make a ton of masculine cards!
Love this nautical theme, and your cards are simply beautiful. Thanks for another great month of inspiration.
I love anything nautical, as the men in my life love the ocean and boating. What a great tip to use the comb to create the wood texture. Thanks for all of your terrific ideas.
Great set I love the lifeperserver card the best. Would love to have this set!!!! Thanks for another great release.
Cynthia
A great set for Masculine themed cards. I always make gilry type cards so this set is a refreshing change.
This is such a cute set! I don’t know how everyone kept it so underwraps for so long! I love it!
always looking for a great masculine set. those images would work for all ages! Can’t wait to see them all!
Not only is this set perfect for those loving (or close to) the ocean, but great for lake-lovers, too! I live near Lake George, NY and lots of people have boats/houses on the lake, so its PERFECT!!
Yhis Out To Sea set is the BEST! Having friends who sail each summer, this set is perfect. Can’t wait!!
Oh this set ios perfect!! We just got back from a beach vacation last night and this would be an awesome way to preserve our memories!!!
I would absolutely LOVE to live by the ocean. It is the place that I feel the most at peace. I really liked your little embroidery floss accent on the life preserver!!
I really appreciate that you share the photos you pull your inspiration from! I’ve learned so much from all your techniques and tips you share with us!! And I LOVE the new color-I have 3 boys and my wheels are smoking from all the ideas going through my head!
Great set for Masculine cards. Great Job!
What a nice nautical set – how sweet that the lucky cruise participants received this lovely set for free! Thanks for the chance to win!
No, I don’t live near the ocean, but this set is so cute! Love how you made the woodgrain on the oars!
Never thought of using a comb for wood graining, I will surely try that idea. I love how simpleand clean looking your card samples are today. Sometimes I feel our cards get too cluttered. My favorite is the sailor hat card, adorable. Thank you.
This is just too cute and fills a big gap in my stamping collection! TFS!
I love where you get your inspiration! I love your work and your products. I am a big papertrey ink fan!
Really like this, I always find masculine cards difficult, so this set and the ideas you have given will help me!!
I just got back from New Jersey where we frolicked in the ocean for a week! I’m lucky that I went to high school down there, and that my sister still lives in Manahawkin so we can visit! Love the new set, and what you did to make the oars!
I don’t know how you keep coming up with such awesome sets but you DO! You just keep everyone so excited. I am about to jump out of my chair AGAIN! WOWza! & MASCULINE TOO! Masculine sets are so hard to come by. This one is perfect!
What a fun set! I love the beach! Thanks for the great woodgrain trick.
Wow, what a beautiful peek!
What a fun set. All of you at Papertrey are sooo creative. Another must have set.
So surprised haven’t seen this in the galleries. PTI addicts are so loyal. My loyalty to my budget is being tested this month. I love this set too!
Such lovely images…especially the cute sailor hat! But the best part is learning all these wonderful techniques! Like having a special cardmaking class. LOVED all the different stiching ideas (waves, cross stitch, pennant line) and am inspired to break out my sewing machine more often!!
Living in Maine, this set is just perfect for me!! I love the images. We used to own a 32 foot sailboat and loved to sail the islands and coast of Maine. I know you can relate to its beauty Nichole! What a cool idea with the oars and the comb – got to give that a try and the life perserver card is too cute! Thanks for another gotta have set- this one looks so versatile and I can’t wait to see the rest!!!
I love all the different looks you obtained with this set! I wish that we lived near the ocean…all those inspiration photos are beautiful!
Great set love it and great ideas using it!!!
The combed ink on the oars is magic! This set is a must for a coastal living gal like myself. The new Enchanted Evening Blue is dreamy!
I am so looking forward to this release! I love this set. I think the Oars & your technique are my favorite. The sayings do perfectly pair with the images as always! And as a side note, I LOVE the new color. I am a navy/sapphire kinda girl!
Really cute set. Love the card designs.
I am not a nautical person, but may be after seeing your samples! WOW!
I have so many friends who love to sail…finally a stamp set that will help me make the perfect cards for them! Love the cards you made today and I am blown away by the little details that you include in each piece of art. From the comb to add wood texture to the oars, to the embroidary, to the treatment of the white and kraft papers on the life preserver card. YOU ROCK!!!!!
Every single card is darling! And the comb trick is a new one to me…….brilliant!
I don’t live near the ocean but I love the colors that inspired the nautical theme.
This is going to be a great set. Thanks for sharing the tip using the comb to create grain in the oars, and finding inspiration in magazine layouts. I’ve got to start looking more at print for inspiration.
Love this set! We don’t get to the ocean often but we do live near the Great Lakes and our sons like to sail so this set is perfect!
i love this set! i really have a hard time with masculine cards, but i think this set we be my go-to-set for them!! thank you for that! i can not tell you enough how much i enjoy getting up in the morning to see all of the sneak peaks! and that’s saying something because i am so not a morning person! thank you, thank you, thank you for everything that you girls do at pti!
I love this set. To bad I couldn’t have been on the cruise too!!
What an awesome set… You continue to give us more of a much needed masculine feel to sets.. As the only girl in my house I thank you..
Mishy
Your showcase of this set was amazing. Your cards are just so creative. That is a wonderfully masculine set for all our outdoorsmen. Thank you.

What a fun set! All the images and text are so cute! Love the little sailor hat!
My mind is just going wild with all the masculine cards I could make with this set!! (I have such a hard time with those cards!) I love how you added the wood grain to the oars–brillant!!
There is no limit to the creativity you all put forward each and every month. It’s hard to stick to my budget when I see all these great ideas! Thanks again!!
Great ideas on your sample cards using this set. I will definitely be using the comb technique for wood grains.
LOVE out to sea!!! I could make great things to send my friend who has a cottage on the coast of Maine!!! (And lots of other people too, this just reminds me especially of her).
Another winner! I can’t wait to play with it. I loved seeing how your inspiration photos translated into cards!
Another great set and examples – another great month at PTI!!
I have always been drawn to water and your new set is a fabulous reminder. Love the innovation and wonderful projects!
Wow! The thing I love about these stamps, is the cards are FUN! They are simple and elegant, but look like so much fun to stamp! All of your sets are awesome. Thanks for sharing! Diane
Love that set. The last card is my favorite!
I like that we now have another stamp set for masculine cards.
It is helpful to see the pics you use for inspiration, as well as the links to the sites. Thank you for that.
Well, here’s another really cool stamp set that looks like tons of fun. As always, your samples are truly beautiful and inspiring.
Oh my gosh, where to start? The colors on the compass rose card are amazing, the pennant card with the texturized oars is SOOOO creative, and putting that “rope” around the life preserver was inspired! I have to tell you, seeing these samples has made me realize the huge number of possibilities for this set! Thanks for the inspiration!
I am officially in love with the Out to Sea stamp set! With a husband in the Navy, all the images you’ve shown and the sentiments are perfect for so many occasions. Can’t wait until the 15th!
This will be the perfect set for some masculine cards. Can’t wait to see all the images! Love the color scheme on the life preserver card, so sweet.
I love these cards—-FOUR projects! How fabulous~I do love the ocean. I live about 2 hours away—is that close? When you first introduced this set I wasn’t sure it was for me, but your projects MAY have twisted my arm—so, so versatile and well done!
What a fun set. As I have all boy grandchildren this set is a must. I really love the way you combed the oar image – it adds such a great wood-like texture. This looks like it will be another must-have set.
Oh boy!!! What a great set! Glad it’s now available to everyone! Your inspiration colors are fabulous – so light, crisp and airy! Loving it all!
Your creativity and ideas amaze me! Thank you for sharing all the great projects! I have been admiring this set since I first saw pieces of it from cruise attendees. Any possibility of another cruise or trip in the future?
I have been on several cruises and this stamp set will be great for making cruise scrapbooks and fun cards! Can’t wait.
This is a very nice set. Your projects are awesome Nichole. Can’t wait to see the whole set.
This is a great set! Perfect for the boys! LOVE LOVE LOVE that orange color. Please, can PTI get one like that? 😉

I like the idea of having a masculine theme!
Oh my goodness! I love this set. Love it!
Looks like a fun set. I love the inspiration photos that you shared with us. It certainly helps to get the creative juices flowing.
I love how you get inspiration and turn it into a wonderful card! I love the ocean! I never saw a beach until I was 30 and I was so awestruck, I didn’t want to leave! I could totally live at the shore!
wow! and WOW!! your samples today were fabulous (always are). but I love how you created such different styles with 1 set. very cool!!!!
Fabulous! I love all of the samples. I especially liked how you used a comb to make the wood texture. Thank you!
Even though I am not a big water person, I love all things ocean, beach and nautical! What a great set, perfect for the men and boys in our lives who aren’t so fond of flowers.
This looks like a fun set! I don’t live near an ocean. I’m a midwest gal, but enjoy spending time at the beach when I can. I would love to do it more often. Not sure what I’m waiting for! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love the last card that was displayed on kraft paper. I love how it is embossed in the center and accented with Scor-Pal lines. The nautical theme is a great addition to the PTI family!
Such wonderful, new and exciting ideas! Love the new set and it’s possibilities! Can’t wait to play! And no we don’t live by the sea, not too far away though!
These cards are so fresh and crisp looking! I loved the inspirational photos you found also and the new Polka Dot Basics set is delish! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Oh, I am so excited! I love all things nautical. I am so excited about this set. I don’t have the luxury of living near the ocean, but if I could decorate my house like a beach house and have it not look weird in the middle of Texas, I would. Thank you for this set!
I love this set! We have a house by the water and have always loved nautical themes. Your cards were wonderful using this set!
wonderful projects, as always! i love how you are able to use ‘home design’ as inspiration for your cards. love the nautical set!

Thanks for the chance to win!

I love Coastal Living they always have amazing inspiration. I love the stamp set as well! So cute!
Thud! Really stunning projects with this stamp set. The woodgrain paddles? The crochet thread life preserver string? I have no idea which is my favorite – they are all so great!
What a great set! It looks like it will be perfect for all the masculine cards I seem to struggle with.
This looks like a fun set. I love the technique you used to add texture to the oars! And I love the life preserver stamp 🙂
What a cute set! And I love that embossed accent line! What a great idea.
I have to have the Out To Sea set, we grew up on going to the river, I know a far cry from the sea but never the less water. I can see using this set over and over again. Thanks.
I’m going to have to try the comb technique – that’s really nifty!
Jutta
We are boaters and I have a ton of pictures of us out on the water. This set will be perfect for scrapbooking. Way to go girls.

Your cards, as always, are perfection!
Such a fun set! I love that you can use it in so many different ways.
Great idea to use a comb for the wood grain texture! It helps to see what inspires others-I like the masculine theme. My husband is not really into flowers, so this set would do the job!
What a cute little set and so versatile. I love the comb trick. I can always count on you for showing us how to use an everyday thing in a way that I would never think to use it.
The stamp set and pictures make me wish summer could stay around longer. I love all the products!

What a fun and unique stamp set….love it! and love all your projects that you made with it. Great inspiration pictures too!
That set is awesome. It works so well for masculine cards (I always have a ruff time with those). I love the effect you got with the comb – that is one to put in vault to use at a later time. Keep up the great work ladies – I love it!

What a great set and I love the cards you made with it today. In a few years we’ll be retiring down on the Florida Panhandle so I’m lucky enough to get to live near the beach. I can’t wait!
Makes me want to go to the beach or should I say the sea!!!
I have a very difficult time with masculine cards that don’t translate into something childish or feminine. I think this is the perfect set for manly cards. Well done!
Perfect set for scrapbooking your cruise pictures. Would also work nicely for that hard to make male card. Thanks for the beautiful samples!
This looks like a really fun set. Your projects are over the top! Love the idea of creating texture on the oars … very ingenious!
I am a total beach bum and love everything to do with the sea!! What a fun set!!
You’ve done it again! Another amazing set to put in my shopping cart. Thanks for the links to your inspiration as well.
So cute so fun, it makes me what to go sailing. And I love the new color Enchanted Evening.
These cards (and set) are beautiful! I love the life preserver the best, excellent details.
Another adorable set! Love what you came up with for cards. Nice to see a gender change a little in the stamps. I think “guys” in this and I definately need to do some more guy themed cards.
My best friend is a huge ocean lover, she would love this set! It woud make a great gift for her 🙂
I’m surprised we haven’t seen more samples of this set in the gallery, it is terrific. I can’t wait to pair it with Men of Life!

Great set! I love the new blue! So pretty!
What another fabulous set! I can’t wait to try that woodgraining technique Nichole. I must check my other stamp sets to see which ones I could use it on 🙂 This set will work so well for guys, both big and small. Thanks Nichole and Candice!
Your creativity is boundless! I can’t believe how I am awed and inspired everytime I visit…truly Nichole, you are amazing! These stamps are fantastic and a must have for my collection!!!!
This is such a neat set! Perfect for masculine cards!!!
I love how you’ve been using embroidery floss lately. I have been desperately searching my house the last month looking for my stash of cross-stitching items (leftovers from my teen years.) I love the different possibilities from the Out to Sea collection!
So so cute! Very versetile and perfect for more masculine cards. Love the enchanted evening color. Favorie so far.
Another amazing stamp set!! This set also seems to be very versatile. Masculine cards, Baby boy cards, friendship cards, birthday cards, etc. I love your ‘woodgrain’ ores—never would have thought of using a comb. Pure genius.
I don’t live near the ocean, but I love the lake, and this set will work well for that lifestyle as well!
Great set and great cards. Thanks for offering the fun prize!
This set is so fun! Love the cards, a great source of inspiration!
I am always so inspired after seeing your samples – your creative energy is contagious! Love the set and the colors!
Oh the great shapes and theme for this make it so delightful!Love your examples!
As expected another great set! I love the examples using some of the non-traditional nautical colors.
Very versatile set. The coastal theme is very in style and this set is also masculine and its hard to find a set thats both:)
I can’t wait to see the remainder of this set. I also love seeing the inspiration photos that were included in the posting. Thanks for a chance to win.
Unfortunately, we live in MN -about as far from the ocean as you can get! But we are on lakes a lot and have lots of lake lovers in our families so this set would still be lots of fun!
Another wonderful set. Love all the cards!
What an awesome set, I LOVED your tip about the fine tooth comb and the oars! This will be perfect for a scrapbook about our vacation.
This is a super masculine/summer set! I love how your get your inspiration from magazines – all of your cards here are just wonderful!
Another cool set! I don’t live any where near the ocean, but I do live in the land of 10,000 lakes and love going to the lake!
Lots of possibilities to create some cool cards with this new set too!
I love how you used the house photos as inspiration. Such cool colors and they set the tone beautifully!
Love the idea to use a comb to make a “wood grain”. Great set!
Perfect set for masculine cards. Especially love the pennants and the lifesaver! And your technique using the comb is so clever.
Looks like another fantastic set! I don’t live near the ocean, but I do live very close to Lake Erie and the Niagara River. There is something about being by the water that’s very soothing and inspiring!
Such a great set!
Love what you did with the comb! Genius!
What a terrific set!!!! We have been fortunate enough to take 2 cruises so this set would be so fun to scrapbook with!
I love all your cards…great for the guys! You make me wish it was the “15th” every day of the month (but my wallet couldn’t take it!)…I so look forward to the PaperTrey new releases every month. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Very cute set! Fantastic projects too – I am loving that poly-twill!
Absolutely beautiful cards. Looks like a fun and {essential} set to have!
FABULOUS! Love it!
What a great set… and it looks great with the new blue!
Here in NC I’m not too far from the beach and look forward to going every year! This set reminds me of the Outer Banks. Can’t wait to try that comb technique!
All the ideas are wonderful, but I was particularly struck by using the comb to make a quick woodgrain. Who’da thunk it?
Love the fresh fun stamps and color combos. So inspiring.
This set is a MUST HAVE!! I love everything about it.
Wish I could have been on that cruise with you! Just love the set!
I am excited to see the entire set.
Charmaine
Love the nautical stamp set. I especially like the life preserver and the added detail of the crochet thread wrapped around it.
I love being on or near the water and this set really brings that feeling to stamping! I can think of a million ways to use this set, not only for cards. And the new color blue is just PERFECT with it!
This set has far more possiblities than I expected…love those with the masculine look. PTI has never failed me, not only with great sets as this, but techniques as well. The wheels are turning… thanks for the opportunity to win.
oh my – this is the set i’ve been WAITING for! everything about it is PERFECT.
My dad is a Naval man, so we are all about the nautical in our home.
Great set.
And that blue is fantastic.
Nichole–I love all your samples, they are amazing! I think my favorite was where you used the comb on the oars, I love the look of the stamped image. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I love this new resource for inspiration photos – it makes me anxious to head to our family beach trip next month! 🙂
These cards are so fun – thanks for sharing some new techniques with your samples!
This is great. Masculine cards have always been a struggle for me (I’m way too girly!!). The PTI masculine sets have made it sooo much easier. Since most of the men in my life love boats and fishing, this will be a great addition.
What a fun new set. We live by the water so I love nautical theme stamps.
Another wonderful set – I can always use a masculine set!
Great projects, and great stamps! My family are huge nautical fans, so this could get a lot of mileage. Thanks!
This is such a fantastic release! They just get better and better. I adore the life preserver card you made Nicole!
Absolutely incredible! This will be perfect for scrapbooking my beach vacation with my little boy this year! I love all of your cards also! Can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
oooh i love these! can’t wait to see the whole set 🙂
Wow~! I don’t live near the sea and didn’t think I need any ocean related stamp sets, but your projects make me wanna have it! =) Your creations are always very inspiring! Thank you!
I love the bright colors combined with these stamps! Using a comb to make a wood-grain look is so creative!
BRILLIANT! Fantastic inspiration!
we usually head to the beach for vacation and seeing all those great pics reminds me of that… the cards you made from those images are amazing! this set looks wonderful (loved the wood graining treatment you did on the oars with the comb… so creative)
I love the wood grain on the oars! Great stuff all around!
What a great set. Thanks for the showcase. I think this will team nicely with the boat set i already have.
This is such a cool set. I like the variety of the images in it. It is possible that I will need to subscribe to Coastal Living–those are exactly the ways I want to decorate the new extension we are building on our house! I’m sure I need to make some cute invitations for the open house with this set and Nicole’s ideas!!
Another great set – I love all things beach and ocean!! Great for masculine cards too. thanks for the chance to win!
All the coastal color inspirations are wonderful for this set. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the images. Combing the oars is a fun technique! Thanks!
WOW! I love this! And seeing the inspriation behind them is even better! Love it!!
Ahoy matey. I live in San Diego and my husband’s been fantasy boat shopping. Nautical’s definitely on the mind these days.
love the little boy card so much!
I really like the style of the cards you have done here. I can’t wait to see the entire set! Thanks for the inspiration.
well I couldn’t be farther from an ocean or beach. I live in the middle of Illinois! But I do live in a town where meet and many people don’t. I have a pool that is the best for me. Very cute design. I haven’t checked out the designers yet, but once I do I will be a goner! Enjoy!
Fun stuff! It’s always so fun to see these reveals!
This is an incredible set! Your pictures are inspirational and your projects are stunning. Thanks for another job well-done!
This set will be great for masculine cards which I always have a problem making.
how clever using the comb that way. everything is beautiful.
TFS
Love it all….what a perfect and fun summer set. Oh I miss the ocean! What a wonderful idea about combing the image…pure genious!
Great job again.
Love your colors and themes. The rooms you use for inspiration are incredible.
I love the oars and the life preserver. The thread added as rope is wonderful!
What a cute set, love all the color combos she used for the cards, very nice!
I wouldn’t think that a “seashore” stamp set would be for me, but the projects you created with it just make it so impossibly tempting! I love it!
What an awesome stamp set, love the masculine possibilities. I’m head over heels in love with enchanted evening!!
Your cards are gorgeous as always. I don’t know how you manage to take a set I think I’ll never use and put it at the top of my “must have” list! 🙂
WOW! Such cute cards…I love the life-ring..so original!
Okay, reading about the set, I wasn’t that interested. THEN I saw your samples and want the set, haha.
Fun set – love the images. 🙂 The combination of kraft and orange is great! I have to try that!
A great set to make some darling cards. And there is nothing quite as crisp and classic that screams nautical like red and blue together!
Oh I love this set. I need a birthday card for my brother this Saturday and am wondering if I’ll get my hands on this set in time 🙂
Dawn

I’m all over this set and those inspiration photos. Wow!
I would LOVE to live near water but am nowhere close (I’m in the Midwest). I love how you’ve shown us how you’ve taken inspiration from beautiful rooms and turned the ideas into gorgeous cards.
I love this set! It is perfect for me as I’m all about the nautical theme and dream of the day when I can retire to a house along an intracoastal waterway. Brava!
Great masculine set! Way to go!
This set is a must-have. I love having images that are perfect for more masculine cards. Your samples are wonderful—as always!
I never would have thought to use a comb to make wood grain lines! That is brilliant! This set is amazing, especially the little life preserver. I can’t wait to see everything from the set.
I want to go on a cruise! The set is fabulous, as always!
Wow what fabulous cards! Another great set is rolling out, I’ll be ready to purchase on the 15th!
Wow, what a way to come home from vacation – such amazing sneak peeks. The cards so perfectly represent the inspiration images. Just lovely!
I don’t live near the ocean, but I love Costal Living and the nautical theme. That little live preserver image sealed the deal for me!
What a great set! My husband is in the US Navy and this nautical set would be great for some scrapbooking. Also great for those masculine cards.
Although I’ve never lived by an ocean, I love all things nautical and of the sea. This set and what you’ve done with it is really special! “Coastal Living” is also one of my favorite mags, so your use of it for inspiration makes me want both the stamp set and a subscription to the mag 🙂
I love anything remotely nautical and this set is great. I wonder how it will pair with Men of Life, especially those papers. Can’t wait.
Very pretty cards….This nautical stamp set is keeping up with PTI’s reputation at creating versatile sets.

Nicole – your cards are so inspiring! And I love that you get inspiration from everything. What a cool set and I really like how you added stitches with the cards – I mean actual needle and thread!!

As someone who grew up near the beach and lived on the beach during college, I love love love anything nautical and sea themed. Now that I live in land-locked colorado, my love for the ocean has only grown. These stamps are awesome (and so were the magazine pictures)- I feel like I can feel the salty wind in my hair as the ocean waves crash in front of me 🙂 Thanks for a little bit of vacation this morning!
This stamp set really comes alive with all your added details! I love your inspiration pictures, so clean and fresh!
What a great new set! And I’m also looking forward to using the new color. Great job!

THE BEACH!!! I am so missing the beach!!! I LOVE the beach and am living in Cheyenne, WY- NO BEACH here!!! This set makes me happy……….a beach would make me happier, but this set & the new Enchanted Evening blue are doing the trick for the moment!!!
I love nautical themes so this set really caught my eye! I would love to win this package. The samples are wonderful.

Wishing I were…OUT TO SEA. What a fun set.

Great items created with this wonderful set!!
I love this set and your wonderful cards these would all make great masculine cards and that is an area that is lacking in my stamp collection. TFS Ann Lind
Wow, what fabulous cards! The colors are so fresh and bold, great ideas!
Ohh, I need this set! My husband was active duty Navy for 21 years and he would love cards made with this awesome set!
What a beautiful set!
Great projects, except now I really want to be near some water!!
Wow I love this set!!! And I so agree with you Nichole about Coastal Living giving you so much inspiration. I love that magazine! Can’t wait to get my hands on this set!
I wish the nautical set came out two months ago!! It would have added a nice touch to my baby shower stuff since I used Men of Life….The Enchanted Evening color collection is simply DEVINE!!!
This set looks like so much fun! I really love the samples you made; thank you so much for sharing your creativity and inspiring us!
I love the beach, sand, waves, shells….we live about 2 hours from our beach in Oregon, and it is my first choice to go to when I need to refresh my mind…
love how you use the life preserver on the card sample, I also love the masculine card you made with the oars, never would have thought to use a comb for texture on a stamp, love your ideas! thanks for a chance to win!
My hubby wants to sail around the world…maybe he’ll consider a card from this stamp set instead?
This set looks SO awesome! I absolutely love what you did with the comb on the oars!
Love the use of Coastal Living as a catalyst for inspiration!!!!! All of these samples are so fantastic! Love the oars with the “wood grain” tip….so authenitic! The sentiments are sweet. Love the new colors. Would love the have this set.
I love all things nautical and this set is fantastic! I wish I had just an ounce of your talent! The inspiration photos you chose are just gorgeous. What a great site.
Wow, perfect summer set!! I love when PTI come up with sets could be used for males in our lives. Love the simple and clean design of the set. Of course, I love your cards as well!!
Love the different version of “sea/ocean” items in this set.
Oh my – LOVE this set! It’s soooo versatile. Your cards make me want to hit the beach!
Fantastic! I love the idea of making a woodgrain using a fine-tooth comb. I can’t wait to try that technique. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is a cute set. I love it when there are lots of samples. I am creative challenged.
I love the way you show us how an inspiration source transfers to a card!! I love reading your blog because it’s always so helpful and inspiring!! Thanks!
I love how you use the Coastal Living pictures to inspire you. It makes me look at my magazines in a new way. I grew up near the ocean on Long Island, so this set is perfect for me!
I am amazed each month at your releases! Thank you for sharing the inspiration too!
Love it! I think that the life preserver is my favourite image in the set. I totally love that it can be perfectly cut out with punches!
Nichole – you and the PTI ladies never cease to amaze me with the countless ways that all of your stamp sets can be used! Thanks for all of the great inspiration!
Love the combing technique! You always have such great ideas Nichole! Candice designed a great set!
I was blessed as a child to grow up on the ocean. My parents even had deeded ocean rights because it was part of our front yard. Now that is cool as a kid.
I love the ocean-we used to live in Cambria and Morro Bay and miss it terribly. I love everything you create. Everything your fingers touch, turn to gold.Cannot wait for the release!
Super cute and I just love the inspiration photos. And that orange is so yummy!
Very cute. The inspiration photos for the nautical stamp set really are inspiring and I am looking forward to the set.
Joanne
I’m an Ocean Lover who is about as landlocked as you can get (Southeastern Montana) so I totally feel your pain. My heart yearns for the ocean, but my reality keeps me where I am, so this set makes me very happy! Thanks for sharing!
These cards are beautiful!! It’s so amazing to see how they fully capure the feel of the inspiration photos! Time for me to pull out all those furniture magazines 🙂 I absolutely love the kraft and orange. Great job!!
Love all the samples. Looks like another “must have”.
Love the colors!! The sample cards really sell the products!! Another must have!!
What fun stamps! I love all the samples. I really love the ribbon on the happy birthday card!
Unfortunately, we don’t live by the ocean or a beach. I really hope we’ll be able to take our kids to a beach sometime. I have been and it is so fun!
thank YOU for giving us all inspiration – and thank you for the chance to win that adorable sea stamp set.
I love all the inspiration photos – I’d love to be there right now! This set looks like another versatile one – very fun and unique.
What a wonderful giveaway. I love the sets!
I liked the entire design concept behind the pennant flags including using background stamps, adding pinked tops, and stitching into place. And that’s just one component of this stylish card!
I also appreciated reading about the rule of threes for accent colors.
Looks great and I loved piecing together the inspirations pieces along with the card created in this post. Keep it up girls!
What a great set! Reminds me of a sailing weekend in Nantucket! Thanks so much for the chance to win! 🙂
LOVE stamps, LOVE the sea, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this new set!! Oh wow!! I must get my hands on this set! Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize pack everyday, including this fabulous one! Go Papertrey!
OH I LOVE it… what a GREAT set…. I WISH we lived by the ocean too.. loved the photos you shared.. those pennants were so cute.. so gotta give them a try! The crochet thread around the life preserver is a perfect touch!!
Off to look at the other girls blogs!! 🙂
Ok, now how cool is this set?!! I absolutely love it, and can not wait to start using these myself, ooooooohhh so many ideas!!
Thank you for the chance to win a great prize pack!
What a great looking set. Your inspirations photos and cards are fantastic!!!
Beautiful set and color combos, love the cards…the Enchanted Evening blue is amazing! Great idea with the comb!
It’s my sisters birthday today and she is just loving her new hobby making cards! If I win this set for her, it would make her day!!! She always talks about you and your teams awesome card ideas.
Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
Love the new set and the new blue color.
Can’t wait to buy it.
Deb
It looks like this will pair quite nicely with Men of Life (not to mention countless other PTI sets!)! I do have the luxury of living near an ocean (about fifteen minutes as the crow flies) and love it so. It is always so peaceful to visit and I relax almsot instantly.
As for the samples you have shown us, I’m loving all of the coordinating stitching!! I love to hand sew on cards (and other paper crafts) and its really great to see it with PTI colors and new sets! :>
This set looks great! I could see all kinds of uses for it with card-making and scrapbooking. Love that the shapes are basic, so many nautical themed stamps are too busy. Great design job!
I love the ocean. I can sit and watch the waves for hours. We vacation at the beach whenever possible. This set has so many possibilities and I can see myself using this over and over. Candace did a wonderful job designing.
Fabulous as always! Can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
I was just on the search for a nautical stamp set, and am so glad I found it on my favorite company’s site!!! Awesome, can’t wait to see the rest of the set!
Thanks for more great ideas to use with this stamp set!
THe life preserver is the BEST! I love this set. I work at a university and we are the Pirates, everything is nautical. The Compass is one of our brand items. I can use this for a million different things.
Very cute and fun set!!!
Another fresh stamp set from Candace and Paper Trey Ink! Love it!
Absolutely Adorable. Love what you did to give the oars a bit more texture, love how you coordinated your little ribbon on the Sailor cap card to look as though it was the cap’s streamer. Great Job Candice
very cute! Can’t wait to see the whole set-I love your cards too! Have a beautiful day
That is a great new set!! Love it! I live 1 1/2 hours from the Pacific Ocean and when I was young we spent our family vacation at the beach every year. We still go whenever we are able even for the day. Using the comb to get a wood grain was brilliant and I will be using that idea in the future!! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful cards today!
Great set especially for masculine cards. Love how you added texture to the oars. Never would have thought of that! You are always coming out with great ideas.
What a fabulous set! I love the projects. I have no nautical themed sets, so this would be perfect.
I live near the ocean and we are boaters so I am always on the lookout for water stamps. The Out To Sea is great for a guy card.
I, too,love the ocean but reside in land-locked central Illinois and Coastal Living magazine is a favorite of mine, also- a girl can dream, right?!? I was intrigued by the technique you used on the oars to get a wood grain look- very simple but effective. That’s why I follow your blog- great ideas and a fresh way to look at stamps and supplies!
beautiful set! and wonderful sentiments that go along with them! 🙂 great job
Such a fun set! Love the new button colors too!
WOW! I am loving this set and even more loooving these cards gurl! amazing!!! i’m excited to try some of the techniques you showed 🙂
Wow! I love this set. My brother-in-law is a sailor and this would be perfect for cards for him.
Your colors are beautiful.
Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win!
oooooh! I really like the compass and the life preserver. It’s so cool to see you create these beautiful cards inspired by photos!!
Love this fun stuff! Can’t wait to get some of these things!
I LOVE what you did with the life preserver image! So cute 🙂
Too cute and very creative!
I really like the comb technique. It sure did make a big difference in the stamped image. I think this will be another set on my wish list.
i LOVE the ocean. and i LOVE all of your samples too. that combing technique is great – thanks for sharing!
I live near the ocean so Out to Sea has my name all over it. Wow! I’m loving the sets for this month.
okay, so this month I am loving all the sets.. how am I going to pick…
Our whole house is nautical and I live on the Coast so this set will be used year round for me…
Love the examples!
Love anything nautical…wished I lived by the ocean. Your cards are just wonderful…thanks for all of the inspiration.
neat ideas…I looove the kraft and orange together……
Another amazing set! How did this stay under wraps for so long after the cruise? You and Michelle did an amazing job with this set. I love each and every one of the samples, and Yes, I am an ocean lover. I wish I could be near one right now!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us and Thanks for the chance to win!!
Nicole, you’ve outdone yourself again. Fabulous samples, and your inspiration photos are perfect. Thanks for all the great tips; now I must go search for a comb to use. 🙂
What a great set. Love the treatment you gave the oars. Perfect!
Our “due any day” grandsons’ room is decorated with a nautical theme. I love it! This set perfectly captures the same feeling I get when I look at my grandsons room….I love it!
Thanks so much for your inspiration!
To be honest, when I first saw the sneak peak for this set I breathed a sigh of relief thinking that it wasn’t for me (or at least my wallet did since my PTI wish list is long long long). After reading your post and seeing your lovely creations I am now breathing with anticipation b/c I love what you did with it. I too am an ocean lover and drool over issues of Coastal Living dreaming of owning a beach getaway. I love how the photos inspired you to create the cards that you did. My favorite ones are the Happy Birthday one and the little boy one. The comb technique you used on the oards is brilliant and the little boy card is pleasing to my eye. Now I’m going to get my PTI wish list and add yet another set to this month’s wants. Sigh, they are all so wonderful.
What a cute set!
WOW I just found your web site and I LOVE it!!! Can’t wait to see all the creativity.
Wow! Another set goes on my wish list. “You’re killin’ me here. There are so many sets I want this time. These would make great guy cards, both big and little.
This new set is absolutely fabulous! It’s a must have as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for all the great ideas and a chance to win.
My in-laws just bought a new boat this year & this steamp set would be the perfect addition! Thanks for the chance to win & God Bless You!
Oh,what cute cards . I live near the beach.I love nautical ideas
An incredible set! Love the cards!
I love this set and can’t wait to have more time to explore that magazine site. Your projects are beautiful, too!!
Very cute, with lots of possibilities!
Just love the sailing set. Another one I must have!
Thanks
LouAnn
Since I am on the way to my beach in Mass., this set of stamps really, really pulls at my heart strings. Love it!! and all your samples.
love this nautical set and the clever trick with the comb to look like wood. i hope to remember that one and to actually use it!!
Love the samples. Especially the banner card. The 15th can’t get here soon enough! Your creativity is amazing!
Looks like a fun set!! Gorgeous cards!!
I love this set!! Absolutely perfect for this Florida girl!! I especially love the birthday card you made with that fabulous new Enchanted Evening blue!! Only two more days!!!
I love this theme! It reminds me of summers of my youth spent at my grandma’s lakeside cabin and the only cruise I have been on. Super inspirational photos and color combos! I love seeing how you used all of the background stamps and boy I am sure lovin’ Polka Dot Basics 2!! The pennant flags are adorable and I so appreciate knowing your woodgrain/comb trick! I would have never thought of that myself!
What a great set…it is so hard to create good masculine cards and i’m sure this will become a “go to” set for me! Now I’m off to check out the costal living website…
All I can say is that I hope Orangerie is a soon to be PTI color. Love that rich orange color. I didn’t think I needed this set but that life preserver is too cute!
Living near the beach has it’s pros and cons. For thirty years we lived 10 minutes from the shore. Now we’re extremely happy in rural PA. I’ve lived the best of both worlds and would love this set for friends and family still in NJ. And the little sailor is just too, too sweet for any new baby boy. Thanks for the comb technique. I’m always learning something new from you.
Such a cute set. Nichole, thanks for the usual eye candy in cards, AND the eye candy in awesome rooms. I’m digging the orange/white room with the built in bunks. I want to sleep there! 🙂
Beautiful nautical cards! The stamps will be great for making masculine cards!
I think this set will be great for some nice masculine projects.
I love this set and it’s the next best thing to having been on the cruise itself!
I love the new blue and the nautical theme really appeals to me; love the compass rose!
I grew up on the West coast and love this set! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Beautiful cards! It’s amazing how you translate the pictures into cards. The funny thing is that now not only do I want the stamps, but I also want a subscription to Coastal Living!
This is a really neat set. I love all of the bright colors and the inspirations!
Love all these nautical ideas! Fab!
This has to be one of the best sets yet to debut! I absolutely love every card you created and love all the stitching detail. Because of you, I had to buy the Janome mini so I could do all the cool things you do with thread! Love the cleverness of the “comb technique”. I will def. use that idea when using the “oar” stamp. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the ocean but sadly don’t get to visit one that often. I love this set and what a great tip about using a finetoothed comb on the oars! I always love learning from your tips and tricks. Great new color!
I’ve fallen in love with your work, the simplicity and elegance really makes each and every one of your designs special. Each new release really blows me away. Thanks for all your inspiration. These nautical designs are awesome!
I wish we lived near water, but that just isn’t the case right now (we’re keeping it in mind for the long-term plan). This set will be so amazing for masculine cards. I have a really hard time with those, so these stamps could be a big help around Father’s Day and birthdays. I love what you did with the comb! It lends such amazing visual texture. And that little hat would be absolutely perfect for baby boy cards, too. What a great set!
I’ve really enjoyed the cruises I’ve taken, but most of my “ocean loving” has been from the beach looking out. What a great set and I love the nautical color schemes you’ve put together.
What a wonderful set!
My grandma has a beach house in Seaside, OR (about 1.5 hours from my house) so I’m very lucky to get to go to the coast all the time. I love the ocean!
This looks like such a fun set — I have a co-worker who loves all things nautical and a sis-in-law and bro-in-law who are boaters/canoers, etc. that I could see making cards for. . . 🙂
Every month you continue to amaze!!!! Love this set and I love your little sailor card!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I really love how you find your inspiration! I need to start looking more closely at my magazines for some inspiration!
A clever idea to use a comb to make the ores more wood like! I mean seriously how do you come up with all these wonderful ideas??? Great job!
Really like this set – and agree, will really help with those hard to make masculine cards!
I absolutely LOVE this set! We’re a big nautical family–my hubby owned a sailboat when we met, we were married on a yacht, our son’s room is decorated in a sailboat/nautical theme and there are nautical touches throughout our home. I can imagine using this set for so many different projects!
Another cute set! I don’t live by the ocean but Lake Michigan is pretty great!
I’m headed out on vacation in just a couple of weeks. This would be the perfect set to create some fun postcards for friends, not to mention, perfect for scrapbooking memories.
Great projects from the inspiration pictures.
TFS.
Janet
The cards are fabulz…can’t wait to play!!
The ocean is dear to my heart. We always try to make a yearly trip to beautiful Maine. I love this adorable set. Ships ahoy!!!
Who would have thought to take a comb to my stamps! Only you, Nicole. I am going to have to try that out. Thanks for another great day of ideas.
I love the projects you did with this set AND it’s so terrific that you took the time to share the information that you used as inspiration. The blue of Enchanted Evening looks gorgeous, too. And the comb technique is new to me – I can see my 4 yr old daughter being very interested in trying that to ‘help’ mommy, too!
Great set – everyone’s always looking for new ideas for Masculine cards & this set certainly fits into that category. I love how you’ve shown your inspiration pictures with the cards they inspired. Thanks for the chance to win!
This is the best stamp set I have ever seen and the design samples are over the top! It makes me lone for the beach.
I just love PTI release day! I must have it all!
Fabulous cards, so many different looks with one set. And Enchanted Evening looks like a ‘must have’ too! Thanks for sharing your fab ideas, and the chance to win!
Thanks so much for inspiring and teaching us!
Appreciate your creativity!

oh I love it! I love it! The cards are so fresh. love that you’ve shown your pages of inspirations.
Thanks for opening this set up to your store.
I am lucky enough to live a two minute walk from the beach but as it is the depths of winter here in the Southern Hemisphere, your inspiration photos are looking mighty nice right about now!! Several of my friends sail in the summer and I look forward to putting this to use for their birthdays. BTW your woodgrain tip has solved a quandry with another stamp set for me!
I’m a sucker for nautical! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that there is an anchor stamp too. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow, I love this set! what a unique, different idea for a masculine set! Thanks for the chance!
I love this set!! What a beautiful job! I’m excited to play with this one! Nichole you did a beautiful job on all of your cards.
You always have such wonderful ideas and really get my mind thinking about different ways of combining my Papertrey stamp sets. Thanks!
Love this new set—-and the new color is an exact match to the carpet in my family room! So cool!
Never would have thought to use a comb on my stamps! What a great idea to obtain a woodgrain quality! Thanks for the sneak peaks!
Love the versatility of this set and your use of fibers! Looking forward to the new colors, too. Thanks again for the chance to win.
what fun this set is! I thank you for the chance to win.
Wow, your talent is beyond words!! Every little detail! Love it, thanks!
ADORABLE! This would be great for guys too which are hard to come up with ideas for them. I love and have to use the comb idea! What a simple but so creative idea!!! Thanks for the inspiration over and over!
Just love this set! Can’t wait to see it all come the 15th. My son and his fiancee are having a beach theme for their wedding so this will be perfect for the showers.
This is great! I love the idea of an ocean themed set. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m sure these stamps were a big hit on the cruise. Your life saver is so cute. I just looked at Mish Mash’s site–good idea for masculine cards. Thanks for your give aways this week.
Wow!! Such fresh and summery cards! Those images are delightful!
Since I have recently joined the Stamping community, I have to say Papertrey Ink keeps me interested. Your designs are current and modern with beautiful simplicity. You can consider me a HUGE fan! Keep it coming…
Love it! We are a water family, and I make lots of masculine cards so this set is perfect. The color combos in your cards are so appealing. Can wait to see the full set!
This set is adorable! It will be perfect for cards for men, and also to scrapbook our cruises!
WOW is right. my dad was in the navy. Great for masculine themes.
Love this new set! I especially love the card made for the little boy, with the sailor hat! It is truly adorable….Thanks for sharing all your uber fun and creative ideas Nicole.
This is such a fun set! I am such a beach person and love all the fun ways you can use these stamps, especially for guys! Definitely a must have!
Always so inspiring! Thank you so much!
This looks like such a great set for those masculine cards we struggle to make! I love every project you’ve made here – just pure genious!
Oh yes, I love the ocean too. I can just feel the ocean breeze from your inspiration photos! I loved your “wood” effect. You’re a genius! (but we all knew that!)
i used to live near the ocean and love to just relax on the beach with a good book. The sound of the waves is so calming. I’m really liking what I’m seeing with this new set; can’t wait to see all of it
Candice you have designed an incredible set. I love the versatility, as well as the masculine appeal. It is equally femanine and a must for me. I live in a little sea village on the Pacific ocean and I have so been waiting for a wonderful set like this. I can not wait!
R
Great set. Cant wait to see the whole thing.
Such a cute stamp set, and I LOVE the enchanted evening paper.
Awww, I want to live in that house! My husband and I always dreamed of living on the ocean when we retired. Isn’t going to happen unless a rich relative leaves us a huge endowment. LOL! Ain’t gonna happen! Love the new sets, Nicole. And the fresh color schemes are wonderful. Thanks for offering a chance to win the sets!
Who would have thought that a nautical set would be so versatile. I need to start looking through magazine more often for my color combo choices- great picks!
and the fun continues!!!
What a beautiful set! I love your texture on the oars.
ooohh what a darling set! I love the ocean, having lived in Bermuda for 17 years.. there’s nothing better than being on the ocean..
I liked your inspiration pics as well.. great colour combo’s!!
I love it that the life preserver coordinates with the circle punches. Perfect!
Love the masculine potential for these stamps!
OMG I am so excited…My youngest son is active duty in the Coast Guard!!!! This stamp set is PERFECT. Finally, I’ll have something wonderful to send to him. I can’t wait. Great idea using Coastal Living pictures for coordination ideas. Your the best!
Oh, how I would love to live by the ocean!! This set just reminds me even more especially when I live in KANSAS!! Looks to be an amazing set especially for “man” cards.
Cute stamp set! Your cards are very creative. =)
I love this set. I wish I lived on the ocean, so peaceful and calming. Maybe one day, LOL!!!!
What a great set! Great for so many people in my community since we live on Hood Canal in Washington state, lots of ideas for this set. I love the new enchanted evening colors!
Don’t you just love Coastal Living! Great cards greated from great inspiration. I love the masculine oar card- great job texturizing! I love the new deep blue color too. Many thanks and blessings!
This set would be great for male cards. It is something I still struggle with and this would make it so much easier. Very creative!
I so love these nautical themed set, my sons and husband all sail and this would be perfect to use for them. Please, Please pick me.
This is another wonderful design from Candice!!! I love the sea theme!! It looks like working very well with Men of Life set, too!!
Oh, this is so cute. I have a cottage on a lake so this would be great to have. I love the life preserver card with “rope” and everything.
Oh My, Oh My!! Love it!!
Your choice of colors just take my breath away! Am so inspired by your clean and simple designs.
Love the stamp set! Can’t wait to see all the releases!
love the set and all the masculine cards I could make, but the neatest thing I learned was the fine tooth technique. That is so easy and yet adds great texture. Now will DH notice if I use his comb???? ;^)
Love the nautical theme. Great for masculine cards for sure! Loving the new color, enchanted evening – the new rich colors are awesome.
We live in Long Beach, CA…so we’re lucky enough to get to go to the beach a LOT! I don’t think I could live far away from the beach! LOVE this set…
Great tip with the comb – can think of many more stamps that would benefit from a little ‘grain’. I’m loving this set, and your card with the life preserver is fantastic. Love those colours!
Love the life perserver! And envy all the punches in the needed sizes!
I love the color schemes for this set. I can’t wait to see the full set.
Another great set! Going to have a hard time choosing this month.
Love the little sailor card. Perfect for a young man.
I would love the opportunity to win
the “Out to Sea” set. I am starting a card ministry in our church and would love to use the life preserver to represent our church as a “life saving station”!
awesome set….the creativity is endless. Thank you for your inspiration!
This set is completely unlike anything I have – but I really like it and love your ideas!!
Out to Sea – what a darling set! My favorite stamp is the compass rose!
What a cute set. Having a little boy I can see myself using this one a lot!
this is the perfect set to use for the guys in my family – all of them sea loving sailors!
What a great set!! Love all the projects and inspiration photos.
Just viewing your samples is my inspiration!! Love them all!
I’m dreaming of a trip to Cabo…and this is just the set to inspire me! Love the new enchanted evening color, too!
What a nice tie-in, showing the inspiration pics with the projects. I’m loving that new enchanted evening color collection, and also the tip for the woodgrain.–Elena
Ah yes the ocean – love it. Probably because I grew up in a little town in the province of Newfoundland. When folks ask me if I lived close to the ocean my reply “No, not really, it took about five minutes to walk to the ocean.”
This is an awesome set!
What a lot of wonderful inspiration and gorgeous cards! I love the beach and the ocean (sigh).
Love this set! My hubby and I have been taking sailing lessons, this set will be perfect for scrapbooking pictures of our lessons, and when we graduate and take the boat out on sunset evenings!
I love how you pulled your inspiration from the magazine & website. I’ve got to start doing this. All of your examples were wonderful!
What a great set!! And the comb on the oars is a brilliant idea!
I just found Papertrey and boy and I glad!!! I was about to place an order when I realized that this set and the enchanted color paper aren’t available for a few days yet!! Would love to win, but if not, I’ll be buying!! What a great, functional set.
What a cool set! I can see all sorts of possibilities with it!
Those are great ideas for nautical or masculine stamps! I think the idea of the comb over the oars is very clever! I love the inspiration I get from your blog…thank you so much :0)
Love the card with the life preserver! I also love the color combos that you get from the pictures. I’ll definitely have to try that. Great job!
LOVE LOVE this set!! The colors you used in your examples are SO “beachy”….LOL!! My fav place for vacation is the beach!
There’s nothing better than the beach/ocean! Well..except maybe a fantastic nautical stamp set from PTI!
Barb M.
And yet another MUST HAVE stamp set! Loving the nautical set since I live near the ocean and also my husband is retired military. PTI has definitely become my favorite stamp company! You all rock!!!
Love the enchanted evening color collection. I have been waiting for a deep blue!
What a wonderful set! I love the sentiments that go along with it and the samples you created. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’m always looking for something to make more masculine cards. This looks like it’s going to be perfect! And I love the the new blue. I’ve been hoping that you would release some deeper colors! Awesome!
What a great masculine set. You ladies are incredible at what you do
I love these new stamp sets. I have never ordered any paper trey
ink products yet but I’m eager to place my 1st order soon. 🙂
Another cute set. I really like how you added the texture to the oars. Thanks for the chance to win it.
I would love to add this to my PTI stack! My husband was just complaining “why don’t you do any nautical themed cards?” and this set would be perfect!
What great sneak peeks! I have to have this set! Also-great tip on the ‘combing’ technique-thanks for sharing. I will have to try that one.
I grew up on an island, until age 13, but actually like lakes and streams more than the ocean – don’t care much for sand. This new nautical set looks fantastic – thanks for the chance to win!
I love how you used inspiration from rooms to design the cards. I love the life preserver you made for the last card.
So refreshing! I don’t live by a beach but sure wish I did. I love your comb technique. So simple! Can’t wait to try it on something.
What gorgeous projects! The ocean has always been such an oasis for me, whether it be a place for vacations, retreats, peaceful time away from craziness. To be able to send cards that share glimpses of it with others will be a great thing!
Today I learned to look to publications for inspiration like catalogs and Coastal living. I also learned how beautifully Pure poppy and Enchanting evening go together. I can’t wait to start using them in projects together. I had been hoping you all would come out with a blue like that!
Thanks so much!
Looks like a great masculine set. I love your use of inspiration photos! Thanks for the chance to win!
I learned more about your thought process and how you find color schemes in magazines. And I learned about “combing” stamps to create that neat woodgrain texture. I also learned that using my old embroidery skills to add something “special” to my cards is definitely within my reach. I ALWAYS learn something new each release! Thanks so much.
This set is too cute!! I’d love to win one.
I can’t wait to see more of this set. I like sets that I can use both on cards and in my little boy’s scrapbook. This looks like a great one for both. It would be soooo nice to win this set. Then I could afford to buy Men of Life to go with it! My budget could use all the help it can get with my long wish list!
And I must say that I am perfectly enchanted by the new Enchanted Evening color! I’m staying up late tomorrow night to put that color in my cart.
Out to sea looks like a WINNER!!!
Count me in
I totally adore the “I’m here for you” card — it’s super cute!
Love, love, love these new sets coming out. How cool to use a comb to create a woodgrain on the oars! Love the grid backgrounds, too!!
What beautiful samples and such a generous giveaway! I hope I win ’cause my shopping cart is getting too big, LOL!
This is such a unique set and I would LOVE to use it for all of my summer vacation scrapbooks!
Really love the cards! My favorite stamps were the hat and the oars! Although they are all so great!
This set is so adorable and versatile – I’d love to win it!
Another awesome set for the July Release!! (I want it to be the 15th already!!)
I *do* live near the coast in NC (for a few more weeks). This set is adorable, I love each & every card you made! I have to say, the comb on the oars is genius – I am still amazed at what you come up with!!!
This will definitely be a new “must-have” set! It’s so versatile 🙂
Oh.Wow!!!! I love the inspiration photos and how you translated them. I love the life preserver and how you used punches to make it, the “rope” around it. And I really like the comb on the oars to create a wood-grain tip!!!
That nautical set is darling!! I have lots of lake and boat pictures that could really use stamps that cute!!
I am completely blown away by you ladies this month. I’m loving all the sets, this was especially.
What an awesome set! I am a beach bum…blessed to have grown up just a bike ride from the beach. Now it takes me about an hour to get there and I go every chance I get! I love the comb technique you shared. This is definitely a must have for my collection.
I just love the colors that you used to showcase this set. It really gives that nautical feel and seems to have a lot of versatile pieces.
Thanks for the chance to win this great set. I grew up on the beaches of Lima, Peru and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This is such a versatile set and reminds me of home!! Great job on all the stamps sets this month!!
I seriously have to have everything this month! Yikes! I LOVE all of these cards, especially because of how you got your inspiration. I think it is incredible to see the process. You really are amazing. My husband pretty much knows all of the design team members names because I talk about you all the time. 🙂 Thanks for truly being so inspiring!
I just love the ocean and am excited about this new set!!
I love it, I cannot wait till the release on the 15th. I love that new blue paper. This will be the boy set and really good to enhance those Navy Days pictures of the hubbs. Also still have the cruise pictures to do!! Love to win this one!!
This set is so refreshing! And the blue collection just totally complements the set.
This one is super cute and such a fun idea that hasn’t really been done before, at least not that I have seen. At first when I saw the oars I was thinking “Champagne glasses” but I like the oars better.
What a great guy’s set
This is such a cute set! I LOVE the life preserver and how easy it is to just punch it out (thanks for thinking of those of us who don’t love our cutting skills). PTI needs an orange orange like that stamp pad you used! 🙂
I’d really love to win those color collections – thanks for the chance!
What a fun set! I can see so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing the comb technique. It really makes the paddles look realist.
Nichole, are you able to read minds or have any type of sixth sense that you’re not telling us?
I’ve been in search of boat & nautical themes and have come up high and dry….Until now 🙂
My brother has a huge cabin cruiser boat so I wanted to make him a boat related card but couldn’t find anythinig.
Thank you for making my wish come true :))
I don’t know how you continue to do it… but I’m so glad you do. I can’t wait to get this set. I’m spending a couple of weeks in my parents beach cottage this summer. This will make great thank you cards. (and napkin sets, and pillowcases, maybe an embroidered pillow…)
Nice cards. The life preserver is neat!
This set is just so cute. Very Americana! And Enchanted Evening looks so rich, love it already.
Love the samples. I learned that you can get inspiration from the most simple things that are just in front of you.
What a really Great set for all the men and little men out there!!!
I love the wonderful cards created with this set. Can’t wait to see the entire set.
This looks like a great set….can’t wait to see the rest of the images! As usual the samples are superb!
In a world desperate for a paddle for it’s boat… along comes this set! Have boat need paddles and all the other wonderful nautical items in this set… Now let’s make waves!

This is an awesome stamp set. I love your inspiration for these cards. The colors are glorious. Thank you for the chance to win. I have such problems making masculine cards.
Cheryl Sims
So cute! I love the designs you made with this set!
I love the colors on the life preserver card!
What a neat set!
Love the nautical theme and absolutely love the cards that were inspired by the gorgeous pics. 🙂
A friend of mine just purchased a 2nd home… a small studio apartment on the coast where she can run away to when she and her hubby need a break. This set will help me make some very nice gifts for them 🙂
THANK YOU!
Love the set and the cards you made, Nicole. Enjoyed your little comb trick.
A convention of pelicans on the Salton Sea and a view of the sea and mountains from the shores of the nearby State Park. Although the resort is isolated, its advantage is that is the only place where you get the winter-time benefits of desert living and also be close to the excellent birding area that is the Salton Sea. Love it Cheryl! You are amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us. New signoff? How about “see you in the sea”? Or, “see you under the sea”?
