Well, I can honestly say that today has been a day that I have been eagerly awaiting for a few months now. Today I get to introduce all of you to a stamp design concept that will have you anxiously waiting to get inky…something new, fresh and fun that you simply won't be able to live without!
When I designed this set, it was one of those *aha* moments that I sometimes have…where everything came together perfectly just as I had envisioned it in my head.
Happy Trails is a set is full of things that leave behind "trails"…butterflies, ink pens and so much more. Each sentiment features a large script word with an unfinished "tail" at the end. The set contains three different scrolled tails that you can add to the ends of these words and finish off with your desired image. Coordinating dies make this set easy to layer and utilize unique color combinations!
The details.
- Happy Trails will be available for sale on June 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- Happy Trails contains a total of 26 stamps (1 dragonfly, 1 butterfly, 1 quill, 1 pen, 1 pencil, 1 scribble, 1 paper airplane, 2 birds, 3 trails 2 ink spatters and 12 sentiments)
- The dragonfly measures 1-1/2" x 3/4". The butterfly measures 1" x 3×4". The pen & pencil each measure 1-3/4" x 3/16". The paper airplane measures 1-1/4" x 3/8'. The bird(s) measure 1-1/8" x 3/4" each. The quill measures 1-1/2" x 3/8".
- A coordinating Happy Trails die will be available for purchase separately for $5. The die will cut out shapes that coordinate with all of the images in this set except the quill.
I have some really cool things to show you today, so let's get onto the projects! With twenty-five cards made in the last few days, I decided I wanted to step a bit out of my normal comfort zone today and try a few new things. I did a bit of exploring online to gain some inspiration.
I stumbled across this piece of jewelry on Etsy and instantly fell in love with the colors and design and decided to try to re-interpret that into a card.
I got a bit *artsy* and layered images in ways that I have never done before and I am just thrilled to pieces with the results. I started by stamping the leaf image from Beautiful Blooms around my card front in SUmmer Sunrise, followed by the dotted flower from Daydreamer in Lemon Tart.
On a separate sheet of Vintage Cream cardstock I stamped YOF: Roses and YOF: Mums images in Smokey Shadow and cut them out. I then layered them along the edge of my card front and then squared them off from the back to fit within the card cover. The sentiment is stamped in True Black.
The "trail" was added with Smokey Shadow ink, with the butterfly die-cut and then stamped it with the coordinating image from Happy Trails in Simply Chartreuse. All of the images in this set feature a fine corduroy ribbing to them. I love this subtle texture, it really adds a lot to the image and makes it look more textile in nature.
I'm really pleased with this project and it was so fun to create…I just threw all my standard "rules" aside and let the creativity flow. I really enjoyed it! I would love to see YOUR take on the inspiration piece I shared above…please feel free to link your results in the comments section!
Now for something a bit more whimsical in nature. I thought I would pair up the dragonfly image from Happy Trails with Friendship Jar.
I layered patterned papers at the bottom of the card front and also some little pieces of trim made with my pinking shears and Spring Rain cardstock. The star was punched from white cardstock and covered with glitter.
I stamped the jar in CVersaMark and heat embossed it with Filigree White embossing powder. I then covered the Kraft cardstock with Background Basics: Twinkle using Fresh Snow ink. I stamped the trail with VersaMark and used it as my guide to pierce holes for stitching. I stitched the trail with purple embroidery floss. I die-cut the dragonfly from white cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image from Happy Trails.
For the sentiment, I die-cut an Angled Label and stamped the coordinating frame from Label Basics using Plum Pudding ink. The sentiment (from Daydreamer) was added using Smokey Shadow ink. I love the colors of this card as well as the "softness" it seems to have.
I had to get out those adorable little animals from Sweet Baby again and this time I paired the elephant up with the new pencil image from Happy Trails. Having the die for the pencil is SO great because it would have been a bit tedious cutting it out!
I die-cut the elephant from Vintage Cream cardstock and stamped the elephant from Sweet Baby in Spring Moss. For the pencil, I die-cut it from Vintage Cream as well and stamped the coordinating image from Happy Trails with Summer Sunrise and Smokey Shadow inks. I added a bit of Melon Berry Copic to the eraser for color. The "thank you, teacher" sentiment (also from Happy Trails) was stamped onto this Library Ledger paper in Smokey Shadow.
I die-cut a heart using a Heart Prints die and Melon Berry cardstock. The heart was stamped with one of the small medallions from Mehndi Medallion (more about that later on this week). I stitched the heart in place with my sewing machine.
The Kraft card base was stamped with Polka Dot Basics II using VersaMark ink. Isn't this just the cutest? I can hardly wait to send this in to the teachers when school starts for us in a few weeks!
I have another piece of art that I found inspirational today, if you'll allow me to indulge. This is a painting I ran across on Etsy.
And here's the card I created as a result of the beautiful piece of art I used as my inspiration. Lots of image layering for fun artsy effects!
The sentiment was stamped in True Black and then I added the birds across the top in Hawaiian Shores…both images are from Happy Trails.
In the corner, I stamped splatters from Grunge Me in both Ocean Tides & Hawaiian Shores. I then heat embossed the trees from Through the Trees with White Filigree Embossing Powder. I love the way this turned out and the Grunge Me set is definitely getting a lot more use than I initially expected!
Now for something a bit more masculine. The card front for this projects is made of strips of True Black, Smokey Shadow, Silver Shimmer & Soft Stone cardstocks. After assembling the strips together, I added the trail image from Happy Trails. I die-cut the paper airplane from white cardstock and stamped it with the coordinating image as well as Background Basics: Newsprint.
I die-cut this red felt heart and stitched it in place with a button. This definitely says I love you without getting too carried away!
The "Sending You" sentiment is heat embossed with Clear Filigree Embossing Powder, with the secondary sentiment added underneath using True Black ink. I had fun creating this card since it was a bit more modern and out of the ordinary for me! And I adore how it turned out!
Now that you have seen my creations, let me show you a few things that our talented team has put together for you today! Prepare to be amazed!!!!

These new stamp sets will work wonderfully with a lot of my PTI sets. I absolutely love the Grunge Me set, it gives cards an extra dimension.

I LOVE this concept! With my husband getting deployed in July I have a gazillion ideas spinning around in my head for cards that I can send him. I find it is hard to say “I love you” in different “masculine” ways. But the cards you created today show how it can work. Thank you so much, this is definately a must have on my list.
Barbara says
I’m speechless…in a good way.
Jaana says

Priscilla from California says
I have to admit that when I first saw the Happy Trails set, I didn’t quite get it. But as I looked at the projects made with it, it began to grow on me. I think my favorite might have been the notepad that Michelle Wooderson made.
Lisa H says
Oh wow!!!!!! This took my breath away and ladies – you really stretched creatively with these projects with such amazing results! Nichole, your elephant holding the pencil is the cutest thing EVER and your grungy trees are really beautiful. Danielle, your bird is outrageously awesome and hilarious! Heather, your vintage look with the postmarks and quill hit it out of the ballpark. Jessica, watercolours hold a special place in my heart and your card took my breath away. I could go on and on about every single project, but I’m getting a bit syrupy and I have this odd feeling a Gong Show judge is going to come along and give me the hook any second now! lol
Erika T. says
Oh my goodness what wonderful things I see tonight. Lovveeee the Happy Trails and the dies!!! Totally awesome.
Becs Attwood says
What a fun concept – I’m already thinking about which of my existing stamps will work with a “trail”!. And so many beautiful projects – you really have the greatest design team!

I LOVE the cards and projects today–but “by far” my favorite is the You Color My World watercolor card by Jessica. I will surely be trying a similar card!

the intricate work of Michelle and Melissa,Lisa’s adorable card,Jessica’s wonderful card complete with tutorial,Heather and Betsy inspiring me to use stamps I have,Danielle’s offering complete with feathered friend and Erin’s cute cards were all great but my favourite was a tie between Maile and Dawn.both offered stunningly simple cards that I think even I could make but living in a household of boys I love cards that are suitable for my male family.

That’s what I love about PTI – every month, I never know what I’m going to see in the reveal, but it’s always new and refreshing and fun, and I always end up wanting it all!

The dies make every card design so much more crisp and elegant. It’s the extra “je ne sais quoi” that makes them just stand out from the crowd. Yes, you can cut out a pencil pretty quickly, but the perfect die and perfect stamp makes it a WOW. Thanks DT!

Your black, grey, and white Sending You card hit me right between the eyes.

I loved so many of the cards and examples today. Loved your interpretation of the jewelery piece. Loved the chicken by Danielle Flanders, Mish’s card with all the great colors and the set she made. Melissa Phillips gorgeous take on her tablet. Loved Heather Nichols card with the Feather. The one card I loved the most was the one with the mason jar with the dragon fly inside, with the stitched trailing. Absolutely loved everything about that card! Look forward to this release and all the sets so far!
Emily Cossins says
I think your paper airplane card is my favorite, but I really like the card based on the jewelry too.

Nancy says
When I read the title of today’s stamp set, I immediately thought of the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans song with the same title. There’s a line in “Happy Trails” that fits my reaction to these incredible projects you and the DT have shared: “It’s the way you ride the trail that counts.” You ladies have ‘ridden the trail’ with wit, imagination, and beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Becky P says

I fell in love with the idea of “trails” when the Little Lady set came out in the first year of Papertrey. I have used that set many times and have used that one trail behind butterflies, bees etc. I would love to have this new set with all the different options and the very curly trails. It will make some awesome cards.
