So glad to see you back here for the last day of the November countdown! Have you all been enjoying yourselves this week? Are you excited to fill up your cart with all the brand new Papertrey goodness tonight?
Well, sit back and relax, as we still have two more sets to formally introduce to you!
Tiffany Pastor is joining us again to present a beautifully executed stamp set entitled "Christmas Friends" The set is intended to be used to create amazing holiday projects, but upon some experimentation, I found that it could really be so much more!
The details.
- Christmas Friends will be available for purchase tonight, midnight EST.
- It will retail for $24.
- It contains a total of 29 stamps (18 images and 11 sentiments).
The second set that I am *officially* announcing is a little background set I designed called Background Basics: Diamonds. I've been showing you quite a bit of it all week, but I will also be sprinkling a little of it in today's post as well. It is an amazing essential set that myself and most of the design team could now not live without!
The details.
- Background Basics: Diamonds will be available for purchase tonight, midnight EST.
- It will retail for $15.
- It contains a total of 3 background strip stamps.
Now that we have all those details out of the way, let's move onto some fun projects!
(click photo above for larger view)
This first project is probably one of my favorites out of the bunch. I love how clean and simple it is. I love the color scheme (even though it was out of my comfort zone at first!). I also love the little discovery I made. When you stamp our Fresh Snow ink onto Enchanted Evening cardstock, it dries to match our Spring Rain cardstock! Pretty isn't it!
The large swirl and birds are both part of Christmas Friends. Tiffany's style is certainly represented in these. I added a few clear rhinestones to the swirls as accents. I love using all three sizes on one project. It makes it a little more interesting to the eye. The sentiment is from Giga Guide Lines. I think the fonts and style of it work perfectly with this new set. I bet this card would be pretty in several other colors as well!

Next is the same bird from the first card used on a Christmas card, as it was originally intended. It is stamped in Dark Chocolate ink and cut out so it can be perched at the edge of the sentiment block. So, what do you think of these patterned papers? They are actually from our new paper collection for November, Turning a New Leaf (you can read more about it in the post below). Dark Chocolate Satin Ribbon is tied around the card in a dainty bow.
I love this verse that is included in Christmas Friends. So sweet and
perfect for holiday cards that are going to dear friends rather than
family. A few small fern images from Turning a New Leaf are stamped in clusters at the edges of the sentiment block in New Leaf ink, which adds a bit of contrast to the Ripe Avocado found in the patterned paper.

Here's another Christmas card using a bit of an nontraditional holiday color, Terracotta Tile. The new rusty orange color looks AMAZING with gold (and I'm not usually a big fan of gold either, so that's saying a lot!) The ornaments & sentiment were heat embossed with our Gold Filigree Embossing Powder. I love that stuff… it picks up detail SO well! The gold frame was done with one of our Gold Paint Pens and a ruler.
To make ornament placement easy, try placing the stamps face down on your card front, moving them around until you get them just where you want, then pick them up with your block all at once. All you have left to do is ink and stamp!
The Ripe Avocado pine boughs (Martha Stewart punch) are accented by some new rhinestones being added to the store which coordinate well with either Dark Chocolate or Terracotta Tile. Who knew orange and green could create such a warm and elegant holiday card?

This is just another example as to how you can "use your noodle" (as I always say to my kids!) and use your stamp images for something other than what they were intended for!
To begin, this card is cut a bit different than a standard card. It is still an A2, but I cut away about an inch from the cover, making it a bit shorter. This allowed me have the flower overhanging a bit, adding some fun visual interest. By the way, recognize that sentiment? Nothing other than part of the new Signature Greetings from Dawn!!! Yay! Just love that set!
So now, back to that floral focal point! Believe it or not, the petals of the flower were created with the Christmas ornaments from the holiday card above! The largest ornament coordinates with a 1-1/4" circle punch perfectly. I stamped them in Dark Chocolate ink and colored them with the Berry Sorbet Copic Trio. The last step was punching the five "petals" out! Using the circle punch allows you to *punch off* the top hanger portion of the ornament, leaving you with a perfect circle.
When you adhere those swirly circles together and add a button to the center, you end up with something beautiful. Use a 2-Way glue pen to add a bit of adhesive here and there along the swirls, sprinkle on some Prisma glitter and you end up with something fabulous! Notice the patterned accent strip? It uses one of the images from Background Basics: Diamonds that I mentioned at the beginning of this post.
(click photo above for larger view)
Speaking of Background Basics: Diamonds… how about a little set of cards that focuses on that very set? I like to call this my Pink Thank You Trio. (Dawn, wherever you are, this one's for you!) Each of these cards shows off one of the three patterns included in this new pattern building stamp set. Did I mention yet how much I LOVE this set?!?!?
Each of these cards is a tad smaller than 4×4 inches, therefore coordinating with our 4×4 envelopes. The pattern is stamped with Versamark ink. The polka dot strip is from Black & White Basics patterned paper collection. The flower is from Making Memories. A True Black Vintage Button is added to it's center with a glue dot. And who can forget the Thank You sentiment (from the new Big & Bold Wishes) stamped with True Black ink. This here version is done with Berry Sorbet cardstock (that last sentence was said in my best cowboy voice by the way, just in case you couldn't tell).
…and this is Hibiscus Burst…
…followed by Raspberry Fizz. Yuuummmmmmmm!

Wow…I just love that background set. I’ve been waiting all week, since I saw the little sneaky peak preview. And of course its being used here and there in everyone’s sneak peaks. I just love how you used the ornament stamp to make a completely non-xmas but still uber awesome card. I would’ve never guessed that’s what it was.
Deb Zaremba says
Love all of the new sets, especially the new background set. Thanks again for sharing all of everyones beautiful ideas.

Wow, what a great way to use the background set to look like pieces of patterned paper. That makes it easy for a variety of color options!

Berns says
Love the Just Because card. The swirl is just so elegant and definitely very versatile. Love the background stamps as well.

I love all the background stamps from PTI! They are soo versatile and I’ve discovered that I like making my own patterns so much that I rarely buy them anymore. That is really saying something cos I am a true paper fanatic 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!
Cathy Weber says
I am constantly amazed at how my card-making has evolved during this past year. I now love to make backgrounds with stamps instead of always layering paper. I would never have tried it before I discovered the great background stamps of PTI. They are so easy to use and I love the new diamonds. Looking forward to the release.
Cindy Vernon says
What a beautiful stamp set and fabulous samples!
Maureen P says
seriously, Nicole…how talented are you? That flower made out of the ornament stamp and circles is outta this world!!! Love the new dp….I need 2 shopping carts!! LOL

I really need to take a step back and learn to look at my stamps in a new light… amazing stuff can be done with what I already have on hand! So many possibilities!! Sheesh!
Lindsey says
I love your projects with this set, especially the flower made out of ornaments. I forget to look at the images with a more open mind. I love the diamond backgrounds, too! I thought it was new patterned paper when I first saw it used on a card. 🙂

Amy Schultz says
I love your simplistic cards! I always end up needing more, but somehow you make your simple cards just pop beautifully! Especially with the tone on tone stamping… so lovely!
Hilde says
I love the detail in those sweet little ornaments and how it pops with a little embossing! And. of course, those backgrounds, which I have been patiently waiting to see, do not disappoint! Nichole, your background stamps have become indispensable in my card-making.
TinaH says

Prairie Girl says
Ooh! I *love* the birds and the flourishes! I love that there seem to be birds facing both ways; they would also be cute for a Wedding or Anniversary card! I loved the thank you cards; loved the diamond backgrounds!
peggysue says

Kimberly Ann says
I love how the Fresh Snow ink turned out on the blue card. That is absolutely beautiful. Such clean lines and a beautiful match to the Spring Rain cardstock. I don’t have Fresh Snow, but now I have to have it.
Love the little bird too 🙂
Linda w says
All of these ideas are simply brilliant. I love the idea of using a stamp for something other than what it was intended for. My cc will be smokin’ tonight.
thanks much
KimH says
I want to get back to using embossing. I haven’t done it for a while but I always think about it at Christmas time. I also love the idea of creating a set of Thank You notes in bright colors with your new Big & Bold Wishes set.
Stephanie P says
I love how you showcase the mix of stamp sets to create beautifully unique creations! I love the both of these new sets, as well as all the ones you’ve showcased leading up to this release. The Background Basics: Diamonds are fantastic!

yes, I did learn something new today! I need that Martha Stewart leaf punch since I am going to be exploding in leaves anyway! My goodness, what a release. I’m in love with all of it. (You know what button that means).
I really did learn one thing… lay all the stamps where you want them then pick them up with the block. So simple. Never thought of it.
Congrats on an outstanding release.
Susan Berkhout says

Love those little birds and the flourish from Christmas Friends… Oh I just love everything as usual. You are all amazing!

I am loving all those rhinestone’s – must have in my next order:) Everything is so pretty, just love all the cards girls:) I’m not sure how I’m going to choose which sets to get as I can’t have them all……oh the choices!!
Wendy T. says
I adore how you’ve framed the oval sentiment with the leaf stamps, I can’t wait to try that idea! I love my big oval punch, but I hardly use it because it always looks so stark. Framing it like this just finishes it off beautifully. Thanks so much for the tip!
Colleen says
Such beautiful cards, as always! I love the Fresh Snow ink on the Enchanted Evening cardstock – so subtle but gorgeous. And the embossed Christmas ornaments are so elegant. Thank you for providing bountiful inspiration during your countdowns every month!

Great sets! So excited to see more. I love how you made the flower out of the circles punched from an ornament stamp. Can’t wait to try that. Thanks for sharing.
Sandra B. says
Ok, I’ve got to have the Diamond background set! I can’t wait until tonight. The new patterned papers look great- love Heather’s style. I am going to have to try the Fresh Snow on Enchanted Evening cardstock. It’s neat how it turns into Spring Rain. Love the look.
Amy s K. says
Oh, the Turning a New Leaf patterned paper looks great to have, along with the matching stamp set! The background diamonds look so versatile! And your card with the flower extending over the edge is something I need to try. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Anya says
Beautiful cards! I am looking forward to trying some gold embossing on the Terracotta Tile cardstock!
Danisha says

Gerri K says
The Christmas friends set is really beautiful. I love the card with the ornaments embossed in gold. And the blue card with the birds and swirl. This set is a “must-have”!! I have all you background sets and the diamonds will be a great addition.
Laura Onosato says
I love this set!! The ornaments are just beautiful! And the background set looks so versatile. Gotta have these 🙂
Kathleen says
Nichole–your projects are fabulous—that Orangey (new word!) and gold one is AMAZING! I’m getting this embossing powder in every color you have–I’m never happy with mine, so I’m going to blame it on the powder—I’m SURE that’s what it is! And I love that you showed me a card to make that isn’t Christmasy! Thanks for the constant inspiration~
Michelle in Boise says
How cute is that circle punch flower?! And I love the smaller cards with the big, bold sentiment on them. Terracotta Tile looks a lot like Pure Poppy here – – not sure if it’s the lighting….definitely looked more orange on Dawn’s blog though so I get it…and it does really look like those terracotta pots! “see you” tonight!
Lesley Plenderleith says
Cool sets. I am loving this months releases. Mind you I do say that every month lol. Lesleyx
Sarah says
What great new sets! Another month of tough decisions. Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to make choices???! Anyway, I really like the ideas you came up with today and would love to have both of these sets. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Kristy says
Love the background diamond set and the new leaf paper! Can’t wait for tonight!
Sue K says
Another creative set, and you use it with such imagination! I flower with the ornament stamp is lovely, and I love the color combination. Thanks for the chance to win!
Julie E says
The new background stamp set looks so versatile! I am always looking for multiple ways to use my stamp sets. I own quite a few, so for me to want to buy more the images have to be something different and also something I will be able to use a lot. All your images fit that bill, but I consider the backgrounds economical too since I can make my own PP!
annawas says
I can’t wait to get my hands on the background stamps! Your eye for creativity and for combination of stamps amazes me each month! Can’t wait for the big reveal tonight!
Sara says
I love all the swirls in Christmas Friends. Seems like a ver elegant set. Love the background diamonds too. Your card samples are incredible — so classic, clean and simple.
Carol says

I am in awe once again over the beautiful things you created for this sneak peak. I look at one card and think, “This is definitely my favorite one.” and then comes along the next which becomes my new favorite. I guess I love them all. I especially like the new background set. The detail is amazing and I can’t wait to create with it. At first I thought that I didn’t need another background set but once I saw what you created with it it’s on my lists of must haves. You’ve done it again this month–hit it out of the ball park. I can’t wait to see all of the releases in their entirety but then I get sad that I have to wait so long for the next release. I think I’m a PTI junkie:-)

I am really loving how you use the background stamps to create subtle and beautiful backgrounds. I have always shied away from background stamps, thinking that I’d rather spend my money on image stamps, but the way that you all use these background stamps really completes the look. The cards and projects wouldn’t be the same without them, as they add so much dimension and interest. I think I’m going to get this new diamond background set and give it a go. 🙂 Thank you for the constant inspiration!

Oh so many fantastic ideas this month. I cannot wait to see the full stamp sets.

It looks great. Thanks for sharing all your creativity.

Love the diamond backgroud set. The flower card made with the circles is waaay cool. When I first looked at the picture, I thought you stamped and embossed it on decorative paper. I’m going to have to try this with my Copic markers.
smahrty says
all i can say over and over is wow o wow o wow! So amazing the talent!
MaryBB says
I’m especially drawn to the understated elegance of your first card today. Who wouldn’t love that new designer paper on your second card. And finally, the Tercotta Tile and gold for a holiday card is genius.

Lori Hofferbert (loricabo) says
I have been yearning for that background set all week. The mini set of cards is just way too cute, and would make a great teacher gift. And who knew that Terracotta Tile would make an awesome color for Christmas cards??? Thanks again for the wonderful inspiration!
Theresa says
I love all the projects and can’t wait until tonights release party! Another fabulous sneak peaks from PTI! Thanks for the chance to win such great sets.
Jeanne says
The Terracotta Tile really looks terrific with the gold heat embossed ornaments. Loved the added dimension of the green with the bright rhinestones. I like the idea of using the gold pen to make the border. That is a new technique that I should try. For any new PTI fans, the gold pen is the absolute best I have ever used. Of course, you know if it is brought to you via Papertrey Ink, it has to be good.
Angy Hughes says
Really clever to think outside the box and punch circles of the ornaments. Yet another idea I need to remind myself of. I also love the color combinations you used. Pretty and very eye-catching.
Jayne says
Backgorund Basics: Diamonds is a must-have! And I love the look of Terra Cotta Tile and Gold! Stunning combo!

Robbin Clements says
I love the Christmas Friends set and the gold embossed card!!!
Sara Paschal says
Pretty flower you made with the circles, I love that;)
Michelle Ward says
The Terracotta Tile with gold is soooo elegant. I normally wouldn’t think of using that color combination either, but now I can’t wait. The new paper to match the new Leaf set is definitely a must have:0)
Mary A says
It really is wonderful (though BAD for the budget! 🙂 ) that you have found so many wonderful products to coordinate with your fantastic stamps… And I love that you think like a stamper as you add to the store! Thanks for all you do!

Maria M. says
The Hope your Day is Fabulous card taught me some new perspectives. Making a flower out of circles with a pattern provides a new twist to the flower as well as cutting the A2 card just a tad to add that little bit of interest. Excellent composition and execution!
Kris says
Cutting away the side of the card and keeping it an A2 was a great new idea for me…awaiting the release with anticipation!
Kim Z says
oooohh more flourishes!! I LOVE flourishes! Such elegance combined with sweet simplicity, words escape me to define such a lovely set. Thank you PTI!

Maeghan says
I love the way you used the ornament to make a flower! How clever!

Giovana

Jessica says
These are lovely!! Lately I find myself using more and more background stamps. Not only because they’re fun and versatile (especially if you have a color scheme in mind or season) but they are cost effective. These are definitely no exception. I’m still saving up to get me some PTI goodies maybe for christmas 😉 In the mean time eye candy is always good it helps get my creative juices flowing.
Blessings
Michelle A. says

paula e. says
i don’t know where to begin – i love the blue “just because” card. the birds are so cute and the swirls/rhinestones add a great touch…. the christmas card in terra cotta (such an unusual color for this occasion) with the ornaments and the gold embossing is simple but fabulous…. the diamond background basics will be a wonderful addition to my repertoire (i may be able to give polka dot basics a rest…) again, pti is the best and i am addicted to your stuff. it only gets better and better. thanks for your creativity.
Colleen K says
Love ’em all! Great job creating such awesomeness! Hope I win!

LOVE the background basics: Diamonds! I don’t have any of your background basics stamps, but I LOVE them, and one of these days, I’m going to get some! As always, I love everything you’ve done!

Wow, I really love the Hope Your Day is Fabulous card — that flower made from the ornament is delicious! The colors are so perfect. And of course the tip about placing the stamps before sticking them to the block is brilliant. I also like how you outlined the terracotta tile card with the gold line. I’ve got to try that sooner rather than later. Thanks for all the inspiration.

I love how the background set looks like its paper. A much cheaper way to add some patterns without buying a bunch of patterned paper! How versatile.
Jessica says
Beautiful new sets! I love the diamond backgrounds and the swirls in Tiffany’s set.
Bev S says
I love the simple accents that make the cards look so elegant–tape to add glitter border, or the gold pen to make a border. Such elegant touches that really dress up the cards. Everything this week has been wonderful, as usual!
