Lizzie Jones (newsletter editor extraordinaire!) is taking the time to create printable, pin-able inspiration cards each month based on some of the most unique projects from the past month. We are pleased to share the cards featuring the recent July Release! Scroll to the bottom of the post for a link to a pdf download that you can print. (And don't miss a few notes about Stamp-a-faire 2017 below that!) Enjoy!

We are very busy behind the scenes preparing for Stamp-a-fair 2017: 10th Anniversary Edition! This event ended up being SO BIG, it is going to take place over THREE days! So get ready to join us August 25th through the 27th!
There will be challenges, videos, prizes and SO much more! Just in case we didn't mention it before, this spectacular online event is FREE to everyone! So there is no reason why you can't plan to stop by and join in on the fun!
Since we celebrated our big 10th Anniversary, this years theme falls in line with traditional anniversary gifts. For example the "traditional gifts" you get for each year of marriage.
- 1st Anniversary: Paper
- 2nd Anniversary: Cotton
- 3rd Anniversary: Leather
- etc…
Fun, right?!?!? Just wait until you see all the ways the team embraces these themes for ten years worth of traditions. Oh, and did I mention that it won't be just the team playing along to share exciting new videos with you? That's right! We have TEN special guests joining us for Stamp-a-faire 2017! I'm not going to name any names, but let's just say we are embracing the past, present and the future!
Also of note, to help allow everyone to play along, all of the challenges will be geared towards using what you have on hand in your stash. There may be a few select specialty supplies you might want to gather beforehand, and we will be sharing notes about those on the morning of August 15th on our blog.
Here is a brief rundown of the schedule for this year's event…

Sounds like another fun event. I’m happy to see we will have a few more days to finish our projects.
So excited!!!! I have had the dates for Stamp-a-Faire reserved on my calendar for months! 🙂 I’m looking forward to learning, growing, sharing,… and having lots of creative fun with everyone at Papertrey Ink! ♡
Sounds like fun, I hope I can get some cards done and play along
HOW EXCITING! AND IT’S FREEEE!!!!! I was saving up my pennies… LOL CAN’T WAIT to see what all is in store for us!!!! I’ve ALREADY BLOCKED OFF the dates on my calendar AGES AGO!!! 😀
Can’t wait to see the new stamp set and projects!
Exciting, I look forward to this every year just so I can block out some time for myself and crafting!
That is exciting!
Can’t wait! I am so glad to see the extra time for completing challenges. I usually need it. 🙂
YAY! I’m ready for SAF!
I’m so glad there will be extra time to play along as our niece is getting married on the 26th and we won’t be back home until the evening of the 27th!
This will be the first Stamp A Faire that I will participate. I am anxious to see the new challenges, etc.
I have a question. So the free stamp set isn’t free right? You have to spend $100 to get the FREE stamp???
I’m so excited to join Stamp-a-Faire but I have some other obligations too this weekend. Will the videos be a available later or just at the times posted?
