Welcome again for day 5 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I've truly enjoyed sharing my projects with you using Heart-2-Heart #4 and Flipping Out and very much appreciate all your comments and e-mails over the past five days. Before we get started with todays post let me recap both of these new sets...

Todays color combo...
Up first for today is the sweet little telephone from Heart-2-Heart #4. I die cut four of them out of the colors shown above and then added cooridinating buttons to their centers.
I stamped 'Just wanted to say' in Lavender Moon and then stamped 'HELLO' repeatedly along the bottom. I added a bit of white string to tie it all together.
Next up is another card using Heart-2-Heart #4. For this one I started by stamping my heart dial and sentiment onto a piece of Lavender Moon cardstock. I layered that over my Hawaiian Shores card base and then stitched a strip of Simply Chartreuse below.
I added my lace doily, my die cut phone and my sentiment, 'How are you?' to finish it.
And lastly for today is this little number using Flipping Out. I started again with my Hawaiian Shores card base and then attached a scalloped border strip along the side. Over that I added a strip of Bitty Dot paper and Lavender Moon ribbon.
After die cutting my flip flops I stamped them with the polka dot flip flop image. I die cut a couple of Simply Chartreuse straps and added pearls to those and a tiny flower to complete this one.
That wraps up this countdown for me. I hope you have enjoyed the projects I've shared with you over the past five days and hope that I've given you a bit of inspiration when using these two new sets. Don't forget to stop by and see what final projects these ladies have to share....
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I cannot wait to add these two adorable stamp sets to my PTI cart! I just love how you design images and present them on card making. I actually have two of your Flower Fusion stamp sets on my craft table as I type, ready to use for a couple of cards today.
I love all things summer and beach, so the flip flop set is made for me. That cute telephone image is all over the paper crafting industry right now in terms of your same design, so I am happy to get one so I can stamp it in any color (and 5$ is a steal!). Also I pinned some of your cards from this release to my pin boards yesterday. Life is good!
