Here we are! The final day of the countdown! So hard to believe! I have some super exciting stamps and projects to introduce to you today. Thanks for your patience with me as I took a little extra time to prepare everything for you!
There are TWO posts with TWO ways to win today, so be sure to scroll down all the way!
First up is a new set from Alli Miles. The second addition to her Take Three stamp collection. Each quarter we will be releasing a new addition based upon the current season. When the year is up, you will have a small collection of stamps that can carry you through nearly any occasion or holiday, and all very reasonably priced.
The Take Three stamp sets always include six images and a handful of complementary sentiments. Between the six image stamps there are actually TWO images, each positioned three ways within three reverse block stamps. By having images available facing left, right and centered, you have options to use them all together or individually.
The details.
- Take Three: Summer will be available for purchase on May 15th.
- It will retail for $15.
- Take Three: Summer contains a total of 14 stamps (6 block images, 1 small accent flower and 7 sentiments).
- The sentiments in the Take Three: Spring stamp set are interchangeable with this month's addition and all other Take Three sets in the future.
The other set I have to introduce to you today is a fabulous background set from Melissa Bickford. Background Basics: Geometrics is an eclectic mix of different takes on basic geometric shapes. They will prove to be a wonderful finishing touch to so many projects!
The details.
- Background Basics: Geometrics will be available for purchase on May 15th.
- It will retail for $15.
- Background Basics: Geometrics contains a total of 3 background building strips.
Now that I have all the introductions out of the way, let's get to the fun stuff!
This is my favorite card of the bunch, so I just simply HAD to share it with you first since I am so excited about it!
I stamped the three different orientations of the blossom block image, each in a different color on white cardstock. I used Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist and Spring Rain. I then trimmed the SIDES of each block even with the edge of the stamp images and adhered them to another piece of white cardstock, butting right up against one another. I then used a ruler and craft knife to trim along the bottom of the strip to eliminate the curved corners and allow this to look like one cohesive block.
While trimming, I left about a half-inch of white cardstock on either end to use for glitter application later. I applied Scor-tape to the ends and between the blocks and then sprinkled on glitter.
The finished result is just SO pretty! Reminds me a tad of a paint swatch, but in an artistic, sparkley kind of way!
The thank you sentiment on the front cover is from Inside & Out: Thank You and it's stamped with Hawaiian Shores ink.
Notice the use of the Woodgrain Impression Plate on the front cover? I love the way this plate accents the design so well. Plus, I'm always a fan of white on white like this, with just a little color pop!
This type of card could be done in a variety of colors so you could create your own little collection. So fun to have on hand whenever you need to jot anyone a little note!
I accented the interior of the card a bit as well. I stamped one of the floral blocks with Aqua Mist ink, then stamped the same thank you from the cover directly over the flower using Hawaiian Shores ink. Underneath that I stamped one of my favorite sentiments from Inside & Out: Thank You using True Black ink. Simple, but really jazzes the inside up!
My next card is a bit more vintage. I was inspired by some colors I had seen together in a catalog. Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate & Vintage Cream!
I started with Vintage Cream cardstock and stamped it with various flowers from Beautiful Blooms II using Summer Sunrise and Spring Moss ink. I then used the small daisy from Take Three: Summer, that coordinates with those found in the bird images, to add Dark chocolate accents. I then swiped the edges with the Tea Dye Duo pads. Last but not least, I ran the whole thing through my Big shot with the linen side of the Linen & Canvas Impressions Plate.
You might have noticed the fun vellum sentiment strip on this card. People are always asking me about how to adhere vellum. For this particular application, I cut the strip twice as long as the card is wide and wrapped the ends of the strip around to the back. I then applied adhesive just to the portions on the back. This hides the adhesive and the portion on the front remains crisp and unaltered!
This hides the adhesive and the portion on the front remains crisp and
unaltered!
The bird block image was stamped with Dark Chocolate ink and adhered with foam dimensionals.
In this photo I wanted to point out how the small dark chocolate flowers in the bird image are brought out by the matching dark chocolate flowers I stamped on the background paper. This is a design tip implement pretty regularly and you might have success with it if you don't already do it in your own process.
A fun, retro card that nearly anyone would love to receive!
Next, I have a sympathy card I created with a bit of white ink & Copic markers!
I started by stamping all three of the floral blocks onto kraft cardstock with Fresh Snow ink.
I used a YG95 Copic to color in the stems and leaves, and followed with R35 & R05 for the flower interiors. One of my favorite things to do is color in the negative spaces of reverse images like this. It adds such an unexpected touch and gives you more versatility with your images.
This sentiment that Alli included in Take Three: Summer is one of my favorites from the collection. So much more heartfelt than just "with sympathy".
I used my handy black pen to utline the kraft focal point and accent the sentiment at the bottom of the card. I love how bold and fresh this project turned out! Don't you?
This little piece is sentiment-free, but makes up for that with it's cuteness factor!
I stamped one of the bird blocks with both Sweet Blush & Aqua Mist ink onto Rustic White cardstock. I carefully cut out the Aqua Mist bird with scissors.
I layered the Aqua Mist bird right on top of the appropriate area on the Sweet Blush image. Using a glue pen, I also added a few glitter highlights!
Did you notice the accent strip I used across the middle of the card? That is actually STAMPED with the new grid image from Background Basics: Geometrics using Sweet Blush ink. I love that I can now make this in any color combination I desire!
For the ribbon, I used the same technique from my Lily of the Valley post and colored along each side of the 3/8"silk ribbon with Copic markers. It looks so soft and delicate and really helps to tie in the color scheme.
Last but certainly not least, I used the new Sunshine Impression Plate on the Aqua Mist background. I think this added detail totally made the project!
I have one last card for you today. This one is using a bird block image once again (but I can't help it! I love, LOVE these little birdies!)
I started with the Mat Stack 2 die, cut from Rustic Cream cardstock. I stamped across the center of it with another of the background building strips from Background Basics: Geometrics using Berry Sorbet ink.
The bird block was heat embossed with Filigree Clear embossing powder on Berry Sorbet cardstock. I punched it out with the Super Jumbo Scalloped Square punch from Marvy.
On the Mat Stack, I ended up piercing a hole in the center of each of the circles that made up this pattern. This little detail really added a lot to the project.
The background of the project is stamped with flowers from Beautiful Blooms II using Vintage Cream Ink. The sentiment is from Up, Up & Away, stamped in True Black.
Aren't you just crazy about the possibilities that both of these sets have? I know I will be getting a lot of use out of both of them! We would love to hear your thoughts about both of these new sets. As promised, I have a HUGE, over the top prize package for you to have a chance of winning!

Brilliant cards as usual and these stamp sets are lovely! Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful projects. How do you come up with all these ideas? Was unsure about getting the take three summer set, but you convinced me that I have to have it!!
Love the cards. I too think the sentiment “a beautiful way to say goodbye” is a nice alternative to with sympathy.
I know you are so busy Nichole, so thank you for all your hard work! This last set of samples helped me decide what I’m ordering tonight!!! Everything from you and ALL the designers has been incredible and I can’t wait to *play*!! Oh, and I hope I win!!!!!

I cannot thank you enough for not only releasing such wonderful stamps sets, tools and accessories each month, but for providing such inspiration. Each one of these cards are breathtaking and provide so much inspiration and some techniques I wouldn’t have thought of.
I just love this month’s sets, but the Take Three one is my favourite by far, I can see such versatility with these stamps! And I love all the projects, lots of inspiration!
Your cards are always so inspiring. Love, love these stamp sets. I have always been very fond of Melissa’s backgrounds. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything works perfectly with the new website tonight. You Papertrey girls work so hard to make things easy for us, you deserve a break.
I’m so stunned by how beautiful all these projects are! Those little birds and flowers are real winners and I can’t wait to use them too!

kirstyvittetoe123@gmail.com
Oh my.. it is all amazing! The background set will be so fun to work with! Let the fun begin tonight:)
Your dies and embellish plates are such fantastic additions to the PT line! While cutting with scissors has its place, it is definitely neater and better looking when cutting with a die.
I love the new Take Three set, and your card samples are gorgeous!
I love this Take Three set!! I especially like the way you colored in the image with Copics…BEAUTIFUL!!
These are all stunning, but that beautifully simple sympathy card is my favorite!

Wow, this has been one busy release. Love that little birdy. Plus I’m a huge background fan. Can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks for the opportunity.
Just when I thought my wish list for this release was complete…… I don’t know how you do it, but every time you feature a stamp set I go from being able to live without it to gotta have it. Beautiful possibilities!!!!
You were right about the cuteness of that bird, it doesn’t need any sentiments! Very, very cute!
Oh my goodness, do you ever sleep:-) You are amazing and your creations are spectacular. I especially love the one that you created with the flower image from Take Three. It is stunning. You have outdone yourself once again and this release is as wondeful as the others. I always feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.
OMG – good things are definitely worth the wait – I would love to win this package! The PTI dies are “to DIE for”,they are fabulous! The background set looks very versatile, and the Take Three series is definitely a great “go to” series, with so many options. Thanks, can hardly wait for tonight.
The new sets and your samples are just gorgeous! I’m especially excited to see everything in the store tonight.
Love it all. Most of all the Lilly of the Valley for sentimental reasons.
When I see and smell LoV I’m 8 years old again, in Germany, picking a nosegay for Mother’s Day. Thanks for the memories!!
Loving the sweet simplicity of your stamps!
Every card is so colorful. I’m ready for summer. Love it.
WOW! What a great prize package! Those little birds are just too cute! I really like the tip about coloring in the negative space with copics. It really changes the whole look of the stamp. Can’t wait to order these!!

Soo pretty!! I am loving all these great projects and the dies are amazing. I need it all.
Cool, can’t wait to see more of it!
Nichole, what lovely cards. I love the “graph paper” background stamp and the “sun” impressions plate. I hope you are able to take some deep breaths today and aren’t too stressed out with the new website going live right around release day. Your customers love you, love Papertrey’s beautiful products, and we’re with you for the long haul. Best wishes for a very successful May release.
I’m so excited about the grid background stamp!
I’m always a fan of the background sets and this is no exception. I really love the take three set this time too. Can’t wait until to stamp with them. As usual your cards are beautiful! Thanks for a chance to win the stamps and dies.
Beautiful — great ideas as always. As a writer, I’ve always loved “the rule of threes” — and it works just as well in card making of course.
Every month I am amazing time and time again and this month isn’t any different.
I simply cannot believe each release how you are so creative and you still just blow me away. Often I see a peek or two and think, whew — I CAN live without that new set, but then you present your samples & I’m head over heels in love! I’d be so thrilled to win this fabulous package, I’d likely be speechless (a rarity for me)!!!
Beautiful samples. I especially loved the sympathy card. The red copic color really pops against the white. I have to try that. Love all the cards (again!) you have showcased so far. It really shows how versatile these sets can be. THank you!
Glitter is just the best. I love how you used it with the new stamp sets.
I’m ready to get my fingers inky with all the new stuff.
Wow! I love the flower image stamped on craft. It is so striking! It was worth the wait to see your wonderful examples! Thanks again for another amazing release!
I’ve been oogling over Ali’s and Melissa’s blogs all week, loving their fabulous sets. Your samples are so fabulous with all the texture you have added. Everything showcased is a must-have!!
What a great prize package! The “congratulations” card was my favorite – the colors, the style: perfection! I loved them all, though! 🙂
All of these are wonderful! What a joy it would be to have all the new release dies & impression plates! 🙂
Oh my goodness….these examples are just gorgeous! My favorite is the sympathy card…what a beautiful sentiment to send to someone. It is so heartfelt and loving…and says it so much better. And wow….what a prize! That is really super generous of you guys. Thanks for the chance!!
~Lea
Oh these are beautiful! I love the images in Take 3 and the new backgrounds are way cool (loving those ovals!). Such lovely projects from everyone this release…thanks so much for the inspiration and the chance to win one awesome prize package!
Beautiful creations! Those stamps are so cute!
Great cards. There are so many great items being released tonight. Time to finalize my list of what to get first.
Wow! That little bird is versatile. Love the possibilities.Can’t wait for tonight.
The congratulation and goodbye cards are Stunning! I love the clean graphic nature of the images and that makes them so multifaceted. Pat yourself on the back, this is another fantastic release.
Love all the creative techniques… like the stamping on only a portion of the punched area. Great stuff! 🙂
More beautiful cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
I recently got a PTI order with my first die purchase. I am thrilled with them! Can’t wait to try an impression plate and add a few more dies to my supply closet. I love the clean edges your dies make, and the fact that cuts on my worn Sizzix cutting mat stay on the back of the cardstock — they don’t show on the side that will be stamped. Great design!!

I am a huge fan of all the background sets, but this one is going to be my new favorite. I can’t wait to order both sets, the bird is another winner! Thank you for the inspiration yet again.
Wow, these are lovely! So worth the wait. The summer sunrise, spring moss card is beautiful! And the vellum tip is a great idea. I love the images in this edition of Take Three!

Kim
Loved, loved all the new stuff. Very versatile.
Wow, Paper trey releases just get better and better! Can the design team send some of their talents my way because they ALL knock my socks off with their creations. You’ve built a fab team with so many different styles that it appeals to a wide variety of crafters – keep it up!
The Take Three set is awesome….Love the flower!!! Can’t wait for tonight….
As always, your cards are gorgeous! (Wish I had a dollar for everytime I’ve told you that.) Those are the cutest darn birds!! Love them! And I’m always up for another background set. I use one on just about every card. Great release and can’t wait to get my hands on some new goodies!!
This release is wonderful. From the stamps, new dies, paper, etc., PTI has come up with an amazing release.
Beautifully done! I really love the geometric backgrounds, so many possibilities there! And I love the floral images especially in Alli’s new set!
Oh, everything is so nice! I love Take Three Spring so I’m happy there is a new Take Three set out! I’m hoping this means we’re going to see a set for Fall and Winter too???

Wow! How generous to offer such an amazing prize! I just love the Take Three: Summer set. I was checking out the posts on Alli’s blog today. It has such versatility. I really like your take on teh sympathy card. I can see using that layout for a variety of cards.
Amazing work! You’ve inspired me….now I NEED these sets! Thank you. 🙂
Beautiful all around. The sympathy card is very striking. I love the idea of stamping the image in white and then coloring the unstamped area. That really extends the versatility of those stamps.
Wow!! These project were definitely worth the wait. I’m drooling!! Love how you used the glitter 🙂 Both sets seem so versatile, and I love those great solid images. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I love the take 3 set I just can’t wait to see everything in full tonight.
Wow, I think this might be my most favorite post of the week. The Take Three sets are such an awesome concept. I think stamping has made me more aware of the changes in seasons and these sets definitely start each season w/ a bang.
Just when I kinda thought I’d made up my mind about I wanted to order these beauties are posted! Like Winnie the Pooh, I am going to have to go to my thinking spot!
So cute!!! Can’t wait to spend all my dollors!!!
Pick Me! Pick Me! Love all of this month’s release – this is all so fabulous!! 🙂 Love the wonderful images in this set.
Wow Nichole! You made these stamp sets shine! Love them!
Oh, how fun it would be to win all of these! I love, love, love the PTI dies and impression plates that I already own and how fabulous would it be to add all of these to my collection at once instead of having to prioritize and get them as finances allow… And I always love both Alli’s and Melissa’s sets, so those would be icing on the cake. Great cards showcasing all these new products, Nichole!
Just love what you did with the white ink, Copics and Take Three Summer! The sunshine impression plate is so happy! Pond Life is going to be so fun to use with it too! My finger are itching to play with new PTI goodies!
Very inspired by your creations today. I love how the elements of Take Three work well together and equally as well apart. I also love the added touches you have included in your cards – Copics to color and piercing holes in the background stamp.
I’m in love with Take Three. Definitely in my cart tonight, along with a couple of dies for sure.
Two more great and versatile stamp sets. Love the design and the colors in the Congratulations card. What a wealth of ideas from all the cards you showed us how to make this week- thank you!!
What’s that saying: Saving the best for last? Beautiful projects, one and all!
Endless possibilities. Period!
Can’t wait to go shopping tonight! you guys have done a great job (again) with new designs and lots of creative ways for us to use them.
Nichole, what fabulous cards! I love the Take Three series. And the Geometic Background set is a great addition to the PTI backgrounds. This has been another great release with fantastic products and examples from the all the designers. I’m looking forward to shopping!
Oh wow. Thanks for the opportunity to win, and your generosity.
Stunning cards, love the new sets… I can’t wait for the release tonight! Thanks so much for sharing.
You are all so creative. I just love looking at your cards and projects.
Oh, I don’t know what to do. I love everything this month. Plus have a long list of past releases. Will just have to check my list several times and whittle it down. If only I could win.
I love the simplicity of both of these sets. Every time I see those embossed backgrounds I know I’ve got to get one of those machines – soon! Before the # of dies and plates I MUST have balloons out of control!
OMGOSH! I love everything!
More awesomeness. You’re making it too hard to narrow my list. Sigh…
Love the sets, the sympathy card was just beautiful. Looking forward to this evening.
Wow!! Love all your samples!!! Looks like another GREAT release!
Wow! These are beautiful. I am so excited for the release tonight. I can’t wait to see everything.
Such talent!!! Love the products!!!

Both sets are great and I’m amazed at your creations every time I see them. Thanks for sharing!
Wowza! That’s quite a giveaway. I think my favorite card in this group is the goodbye card with that splash of red in the flowers. Love it. Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful cards, Nichole! I especially love that first one, with those adorable flowers and the even more adorable bits of sparkle! It was definitely worth the wait to see. 🙂
PTI’s background sets are always the first things I turn to when I start creating. Geometrics is a must have! I wasn’t sure that the Take Three series sets were much my ‘style’. Seeing so many wonderful uses has convinced me to put them in my cart!
Wow! This was worth the wait! Keeping my fingers crossed!
OMG – I would DIE of happiness if I won the dies and impression plates. In a good way of course! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Think my favorite is the grid background. Love the look of the linen plate and also the sympathy card in this post. Thanks for the chance to win!

Ohmygosh … what a prize package! Both sets are terrific and once again Nichole, you’ve shown us so many options with them! Congratulations on another wonderful release and the new site!!
Such a cute, sweet set! Fabulous background too!
As always, there is plenty of inspiration and great sets from Paper Trey!
I’m so glad that the site is back and our regular release has resumed. I am loving all of the things the DTs have created this month. I’m seeing a number of things that are going into my cart this month.
I love these sets. The background sets are always a great addition to a card. It is such a subtle embellishment that can make all the difference in a card. And the cards made with the take 3 set are blowing me away. Especially the flowers stamped in white on the craft cardstock and colored in red. Beautiful!!!
I am soooo excited! Tonight’s release will be the first one I’ve “been” to and with the grand opening of the new website!!! I’m in heaven!!! This company is PHENOMINAL!!!! See you ALL later!!
Both sets look absolutely fabulous! I love all of Nichole’s samples too!

I have been looking forever for a background graph paper stamp! I LOVE ALL the sets this month!
Wow, I love those birds just as much as you do. Can’t wait till tonight when everything is revealed!
Your Take Three projects were truly beautiful and showcase a variety of styles. I think the floral images are my favorites, but the bird is pretty cute, too. And of course, Melissa’s background set will be residing with me as well.
Love your samples. More great sets this month.
Nichole, your creativity knows no end! These cards today are all so beautiful and clever, makes me wish I had the stamps in my hands right now 🙂

The geometric stamps are too cool. As an engineer, I appreciate the simplicity and ease of this set. Thank you!
Take Three is definitely for me! The examples using markers as accent lines are great. It adds so much in a very simple and classic way. Love this release!
Beautiful sets and projects, can’t wait to use them!
Amazing variety of color! I love the different ‘views’ in the Take Three collection. I can think of so many times I wanted a stamp to face the opposite direction! I’m ready for release night!

As expected, it was well worth the wait for your intro to these last two stamp sets. I’m really liking the subtle cuteness factor of this Take Three set, while of course still keeping Alli’s modern, graphic style.

These are super cute, but I love the red flower sympathy card, just stunning.
Initially, I did not think I would love Take Three: Summer, but that is quickly changing. I’m amazed at the possibilities of the reverse image stamps.
Love love love Take Three!! The flower is so beautiful! Also love your card creations, esp the first Thank You and the Sympathy card. Wonderful!!
Fabulous stamps and cards!! Love them all.

You’ve done a magnificent job showcasing these sets. Surprisingly (to me), my favorite is the retro congratulations card. I love the color combination along with the dark chocolate floral accents. It’s striking. I very much appreciate all of the creations you share with us at each release.
These sets look really really fun. I just don’t understand how I can still learn a new technique (or five) each time I read one of your release posts. I’m going to have to start taking notes about all of the fun things I want to try. Thank you very much for the beautiful projects.
I was on the verge about this set, but those samples are making my decision so much easier!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
this set is very sweet, so versatile, the impression plates add so much, I love to see what is being done with them…yes, I do want them ALL!

Wow. I live this set especially the floral image it stunning.

Oh my word! I love how you showcased Ali Miles’ new set Take Three: Summer. The “Congrats” card is one of the most stunning cards I’ve seen in the release! I absolutely love that color combo. I really need to make some projects using them. This makes it a very difficult decision (is it really that hard?!?!) to choose what sets to get. I think this one is a must, but see so many wonderful images in the others! Decisions, decisions… I am so excited to get some new PTI goodies-thanks for such great inspiration! 🙂
I have used the Take Three Spring set so much, that the Summer one is a must buy for me! LOVE!

Loving the Take Three series along with every Background Basics set that has ever come out – they are must have stamp sets!

I love the little bird image, I have bluebird houses in my yard and hummingbird feeders and so enjoy the bird watching year-round, so I am a sucker for all bird images. We had 2 broods of bluebirds last year, hoping for the more bluebird goodness this season! Thanks for the cahnce to win your great products!
Love these new sets! Take Three is just fantastic!!!
Beautiful flower. Love how you colored in the negative space.
Wowee! This could be my favorite post yet this week! I love that birdie!
So many great cards and so many creative ways to use the new sets! I love the look of white ink on kraft paper with some added color.
This release just keeps getting better and better. I love the dies and the gorgeous cards in the preview are just beyond description. I will have a lot of ‘casing’ to do.
I waited so patiently for the second posting…I felt like I was missing a friend! I have enjoyed all of this week’s sneek peaks and original designs and, as the Black Eyed Peas say, “tonight’s gonna be a good night!”
Just the cutest cards ever Nichole…I enjoyed these so much.
