Welcome back everyone for the final day of the Papertrey Ink release countdown. All of the fun festivities will begin tomorrow morning, December 15th, at 7am where you will finally be able to view all of the newest Papertrey goodies, including my three newest sets...Flower Fusion #11, Tree Tops and Little Princess. I have a few more projects for you today using all three sets. I hope I've inspired you just a little and shown you just how many possibilites they all have.
Before we get started here is a recap on all three sets...

Tree Tops:
- features 13 images - 1 tree trunk, 1 outlined tree top, 4 patterned tree tops, 7 single images - 3 circles, 2 flowers, 1 star and 1 heart
- will retail for $15

Little Princess:
- features 14 images - 1 outlined castle, 1 solid castle, 1 flag, 2 hearts, 9 sentiments
- will retail for $15
- has a coordinating die
- will be available for purchase starting December 15th
The color combo for today is the same one from Day 1 of the countdown. I made quite a few projects but never did share them all so I figured I would share them with you today.
Up first...Little Princess. I used more Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper (yes, I am addicted to the stuff ;). I layered Lemon Tart and Hibiscus over that and machine stitched around the border.
My castle was die cut out of Hibiscus and then stamped with the outlined castle image from the set. I added glitter to the tower tops and a flag and then layered it over a couple of circle Nestabilities.
'For my Princess' is one of the many sentiments you can create with Little Princess. That was stamped in Hibiscus onto a Double Ended Banner die.
Up next...Tree Tops. I stitched more Bitty Dot Basics and then die cut Lemon Tart cardstock using the Leafy Vine Border die. I used the Tree Tops die and stamped the trunk in Dark Chocolate and circles in Hibiscus. Twine and a button were added at the end.
For my last projects I die cut a bunch of tulips using the Flower Fusion #11 die. They were all stamped in their matching colors using the outlined tulip image.
These cards are exactly the same as the first card on day 1, the colors are just mixed up. I ended up making a complete set of them...perfect for just saying hello to my sweet friends every once in awhile!
That completes the December countdown. Thanks for stopping by everyday and thank you all so much for the comments and e-mails you've been sending!! You all are the best! There is still plenty to see from these ladies...
Have a fabulous day! :)
