Hello everyone! Welcome to the last day of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I have really enjoyed sharing these past five days with you and appreciate all of your comments and e-mails sharing your excitement over all of my new sets and new patterned paper collection. Thank you!!!!
So for today's final post I have three more cards for you....
First up...a sweet card using Flower Fusion #6. I started with a Spring Moss cardbase and then stamped the vine image from Tag It's #3 on the front using Spring Moss ink.
I stamped the vine image once again onto a piece of white cardstock and then punched it out with 1.75" circle punch. 'I miss you', one of the sentiments in the set, was stamped in True Black ink. I die cut two flowers using the coordinating Flower Fusion #6 die and then stamped each one using the flower images in the set....one solid and one outlined.
Next is a baby card using a few different stamp sets. I started by stamping my clothesline, from Hanging Out, in True Black ink onto white cardstock. There are so many Papertrey Ink sets that have images that would work perfectly with this clothesline. A few examples....
- Alpha-blocks - stamp a name across the line
- the images from Night, Night Moon
- create a fun Halloween card using Been Boo'd
- mittens from Snowfall
- use the stockings from Stocking Prints
- have birds sit on top of the line using Birds of a Feather, Bird Watching Additions or Little Bitty Bird
- hang the bikini or flip flops from Day at the Beach
- the apron from Just for You
- the quilt blocks from Quilters Sampler or Quilters Sampler Additions
- use the owl from Wise Owl and have him sit on top of the line
These are just a few of the many images that would work great with Hanging Out.
And another set that works perfectly with the line....Bundle of Love. I used a piece of the Funky Town patterned paper to create the cloth for the baby. The bird is from Little Bitty Bird and the tiny pink flowers are from Tag It's #3.
Todays final card features yet another set you could use with Hanging Out. I used the cute little bear from Baby Button Bits and played dress up with her. I had to alter her body a bit but the clothing is a perfect fit for her size.
The sentiment, 'You're one great kid!' is from Way to go, Kiddo!
That does it, my friends! I hope you've enjoyed all of the projects you've seen over the past five days. I can't wait to see what you all create with these new stamp sets and paper. :) Tonight is the release party. It starts at 10PM EST in the Papertrey Ink forum.
Have a wonderful day!
I miss you!

I think these sets are some of the most fun of all of your designs. They are adorable, whimsical, and pure joy! Your cards are too, too cute. I LOVE the grass and flowers added at the bottom of the clothsline. Everything is over the moon. TFS.
