Hello, Friends! So, have this weeks introductions been enough excitement for you? Judging by all of your comments, it sure seems like there is a lot of love this month! I'm thrilled that so many of you have shared your overwhelming enthusiasm with us!
Today I am incredibly excited to formally introduce you to two new sets from Dawn McVey… Top Ten and Top Ten Additions. Top Ten is a set specifically geared towards creating your own Top Ten or Top Five lists. Think of it as living vicariously through Dave Letterman and the popular Top Ten segment of his late night talk show! (Sorry, I digress! Back to the stamp sets at hand!) The personalized lists you create are perfect for a variety of applications. Including card focal points for covers and/or interiors, scrapbook layouts, mini book themes, love letters, lunch box notes, coupon books, valentines and much, much more!
The original Top Ten stamp set contains all of the basics you need to create your customized lists including dotted lines, numbers, list titles and adjectives as well as decorative brackets.
The details.
- Top Ten will be available for purchase on January 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- Top Ten includes a total of 23 stamps (2 large numbers for the top of your lists, 2 coordinating brackets to use with them, 2 sets of smaller numbers to number the items on your lists, 2 list titles, 2 sets of dotted lines and 13 adjectives.)
Top Ten Additions is a small mini set designed to build upon what was already started with the original set, providing even more adjectives that can be incorporated into your lists.
The details.
- Top Ten Additions will be available for purchase on January 15th.
- It will retail for $5.
- Top Ten Additions includes a total of 11 adjective stamps.
Now that I have filled you in on most of the details, let's get right into some projects, shall we?
I've mentioned in the past how much I enjoy sending little lunchbox notes with my kids when they head off to school for the day. They serve as a little mid-day-pick-me-up for them, especially when it is nearing the end of a long week. Top Ten & Additions provide the perfect platform to let your kids know what characteristics they possess that you admire.
I created my focal point with two of the images from these new sets, the "5" being stamped in Sweet Blush and the "things I love about you" in Berry Sorbet. I used a 2-way glue pen to apply adhesive to the five and sprinkle on some Prisma glitter. If I am making something for Hannah, it HAS to have "sparkle" on it!!! The circular frame was cut out using my Nestabilities and Berry Sorbet cardstock. I stamped it with Polka Dot Basics 2 with Fresh Snow ink. It just so happens when you stamp with the Fresh Snow onto the Berry Sorbet, it takes on a Sweet Blush quality, which coordinated with my project even more than expected.
The background paper is another sheet from Heather Nichols' new Pretty Pastels collection. *sigh* Don't you just love it!!! To enhance the design a bit and carry on my "sparkle" theme, I added small dots of 2-way glue in the appropriate places and sprinkled on more Prisma Glitter. It's subtle but very effective.
The top five list I elude to on the outside of the card can be found once it is opened.
As I spoke of in the beginning of this post, there are separate line and number images included in this set. There are two different line lengths, but each one is in a group of five, so they can be stamped once for a top five list and twice for a top ten list. That Dawn, she's so clever! I stamped the shorter lines in particular on my project using Sweet Blush ink. The numbers for the lists are broken into two stamps as well to be adaptable for both list lengths, but yet still maintaining an easy way to add them without having to stamp the numbers individually. I chose to stamp them in Berry Sorbet.
There are a variety of adjectives in this set as well, so you can find several attributes to cater to almost anyone's personality. Just select what you want to use and start adding them to the lines of your list. I stamped mine with Smokey Shadow ink so there was a bit of contrast from the pinks used in the other elements. As a fun twist, I also added a bit of my own handwriting to the mix. I followed up with a little embellishing using a few of the same elements from the cover. I love how this project turned out and I look forward to sticking it into Hannah's lunchbox today… she'll be so surprised!
My next project utilizes something a bit unconventional… one of the wooden spools leftover from some of out button twine. I have a few of these kicking around since the twine they originally came with has long been used… holding onto them until I found *something* to do with them. (I know all of us paper crafters think alike and keep EVERYTHING for "future" projects!!!) I also pulled out one of our large square clear top tins to go along with what I had in mind.
I started with some of the *FABULOUS* spring moss polka dotted paper from Pretty Pastels. I cut it into ten 1.5" x 4" strips. (You can get all of this from a single 8×8 sheet!) I then scored each end of the strips 1/2" from the edge.
Next, I trimmed both ends of each strip with scalloped scissors.
USing my handy dandy sewing machine, I began sewing the strips together. You want to match up the score lines, right sides together.
It's easiest to create five pairs to start. (And don't worry about your thread "tails", it saves time to just wait until the end of the project to trim them all at once!)
Next, you want to stitch all of those pairs together, forming one long, continuous strip.
Use your finger to crease each seam flat and go back over them with a zigzag stitch. I made sure to backstitch just a bit wherever I started and stopped the zigzag stitching, because it tends to pull out easily if you don't.
Once you have followed through with this step for the entire length, you will have a 30" strip that is pretty on both the front and back.
Now for the fun part! The embellishing! To change things up with the numbers, I Stamped them onto kraft cardstock using Dark Chocolate ink. I then used a 1/4" hole punch to punch out each of the numbers individually. I adhered them in order down the length of the strip.
This is a special valentine I will be giving to David, so I chose ten adjective stamps from Top Ten & Top Ten Additions. They are stamped in each section using Spring Moss ink.
I was then able to go back in with a brown pen and add a personal note under each adjective. I just love the way this looks and it is such a unique way to tell David all the reasons why I love him!
I attached some *new* silk ribbon we are carrying to the end of the strip to serve as a way to keep the strip would around the spool. More details about this new ribbon tomorrow!
After creating a special project like this, it is only right to leave my mark on it, so I signed & dated the end of the spool.
The completed spool tucks nicely into the large square tin. I scored a strip of kraft cardstock and inserted it around the spool to help hold it in place. In lieu of a plain strip of paper being wrapped around the tin base to embellish it, I punched a series of circles from the patterned paper, ran them through my xyron sticker maker and adhered them around the tin. I really like how it turned out.
The tag is stamped with the large "10" from the set using Fresh Snow ink while "things I love about you" is added in Dark Chocolate. All of this is done on kraft cardstock that is embellished with a few touches of the same spring moss dotted paper. I tied it around the tin using Fresh Snow grosgrain ribbon.

Clare says
What a fantastic idea! I love how you used something that would have gone in the bin, recycling is the way to go! I also love that you didn’t use typical Valentine colours, the muted greens are beautiful. Am loving this stamp set C x
Shay says
The spool project is so darn clever, creative and wonderful! Another amazing stamp set and additions that can be used in a million different ways. Thank you for the chance to win.

What a neat idea for a Valentine! Very cool design, and I’m really liking this stamp set. I have to admit, at first I wasn’t sure if this stamp set was something I’d use much, but after seeing all of your examples, I’m sold! I think I could get ALOT of use out if, after all! Amazing examples, for sure! Thanks for kicking my brain in gear, you ladies are so wickedly talented and creative….
Joan Schmaltz says
I can’t wait to see all of these 2 sets. I love everything Dawn does. This looks like it would work for scrapbooking also.

Rhonda says

Stephanie S. says
What a cute and clever idea with the wooden spool. Very creative and would be a nice addition to our gift givings.

The little spool is so cute…love how you gave it a new life! Can’t wait to see the rest of the set and I the set of additions are going to be great too.
Laura says
You are incredibly creative — I never would have come up with that spool project in a million years!
Top Ten is a fabulous concept — I love journaling cards (for scrapbooking) but find it hard to justify the expense of buying them (and they’re usually too small). This set provides the ability to make your own “professional-looking” journaling cards in whatever size on whatever paper you wish — brilliant!
Catherine says
Wow, very creative! Great idea!
Karen says
Holey Camole Macarole! That is the cutest, sweetest, and oh so original idea!! LOVE it all wrapped up on a wooden spool and tucked into a sweet tin, tied off with a bow & a tag!!! I am wearing a HUGE grin right now, thanks so much! :>
Becky P. says
Okay, I am now sold on this set. After seeing all of Dawn’s posts, your lunchbox note and the paper spool, it is just a must have. I have been making a lot of mini-books lately, and I have been lacking a great focal point for journaling. This would be the perfect way to make my projects shine. I am so looking forward to tomorrow night.
Josiane says
Today’s projects are so cute! I think I will recreat the spool project. I follow Dawn’s blog religiously too so I have been enjoying her creations with these sets.

Candy Heathman says
That is such an awesome idea!! Love it! Would love to get started on it with that blog candy! LOL!!
Thanks for all the awesome inspiring ideas that you give us!
Sally says
I really must get my sewing machine working. I am missing so many options for creating without it. Your spool is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time!
Olivia M. says
These are great projects. I think the set would be great for scrapbook pages like top 10 fave TV shows, song, places etc.
Michelle Ward says
Where do you come up with all of your creative ideas? The Top Ten spool idea is amazing!!! Makes me want to take the day off and create:)
tchrtiff says

My mind is now reeling with the possibilities! Thank you for the opportunity to win such a wonderful prize package.
cindy e says
This set looks like so much fun! The samples given make it look so versatile too.
Holly says
What a super COOL project to have that roll of paper coming off of the spool! I just LOVE that! Now if I can just find some spools, I could make one too…. (I don’t sew, thus, I have no spools…)
Chris says
My kids adore lunch notes, so these sets are definitely on my list. They’ll make it so easy to make sweet notes. And I adore your valentine-on-a-spool project!
Stephanie says
holey moley!!! is this ever fabulous or what! I love the spool idea 🙂 and another remarkable set from Dawn!!

Elaine Allen
Barbara DeBose says
I really like what you did with the spool! After 13 years of marriage I am always trying to find new, creative ways to let my hubby know that I love him. This is perfect. Now all I have to do is use up all my twine! 😉
Susan McRae says
What a fun and clever project using a spool. Everyone at PTI is just so creative, you constantly amaze me with your talents!

C Burke says
I agree, stampers and crafters in general tend to save things like spools to use in other projects! This is another clever way to use some of those spools I’ve been saving.
Margaret C says
Man – so creative!!!! Iwould use it with my monthly scrapbook page ie my favourite things about that month ! Actually I can see SOOOO many memory keeping uses !! Thanks for the opportunity !
Chelle says
oooh fun! great set, and I love that little spool project!
Jennifer Cuthbertson says

jen says
You are SO clever! Thank you for sharing this wonderful project.
Lynne says
Wow, I think this is my favorite day of samples so far this week! What a great give-away as well! Funny, but I was thinking of a Valentine’s Gift for my husband and wanted to do a “5 things I love about you” mini album. I can’t believe that you are releasing a set this month that is made for this type of project! Thanks for reading my mind. 🙂
Lisa A. says
What fabulous ideas. Love this set too!
lindsey says
very very cute ideas! might have to try one of those spools out.
Lisa S. says
Let me try again – I put this in the wrong post the first time…This “film strip” project is absolutely amazing! Back in the days of film, my father worked as a film editor at a local TV station for 37 years. He’s retired now. His birthday is just a few weeks away and using this as a basis for his birthday card is better than perfect!
calliezant says
Great for scrapbookers and cardmakers!

iheartart says
I just love how you put the paper around the spool. It is so cute. Also you are totally right about paper crafters keeping everything. I have quite a few things that my dad would call trash. Oh well. I guess one person’s trash is another’s treasure. (:

After the sneek peek I thought I would be “safe” from this set because I am not a scrapbooker. A good thing I thoguht because I could already see every other stamp set going into my cart.

Great scrapbooking set! And what a great idea for those spools. I was just wondering what to do with mine when I finished, thanks!

The project today was incredibly sweet and lovely. Have to admit I didn’t quite “get it” with the stamp set during the previews but I think the set has now become a must have. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the releases and learning more about the new ribbon.

I think I’d enjoy making some fun top ten lists, not necessarily with the words included, but for other themes/topics. One fun scrapbook layout I did for my son when he was a toddler was to make a list of all of the nicknames he’d picked up. Soooo many, and so many have been dropped since then, it’s nice to read the page again and be reminded. Top ten things my kids like about school, top ten memories from a vacation…fun! –Elena

What an awesome idea that Dawn has created for all of us to use! I have been enjoying all of her sneak peaks this week and now seeing your project, I know this set and it’s companion set is going to be a must have for me! I love making little books for family and close friends. I don’t have any children (yet..lol) but do have dogs and it would be so much fun to incorporate these sets into mini scrapbooks for each of them. Being able to customize each to their own unique personality is so important, those memories are so important! Can you tell how excited I am about this set?!!! Love it and all of the projects you have shown…love the empty thread spools! That project would be a perfect gift for my hubby for Valentine’s Day (as you mentioned)!
