It's that time again! Welcome everyone to the first day of the September Papertrey Ink countdown. Hard to believe that fall is in the air and that the holidays will be quickly approaching. I always love this time of year.
September is always the month for new holiday goodies from PTI. I have two new sets to share with you this month...one being a holiday set and the other is the next set in the Heart-2-Heart series.
Up first is Heart-2-Heart #8
- features 10 images - 1 tree tunk, 3 tree tops, 4 sentiments, 1 heart, an exclamation point
- will retail for $5
- will be available for purchase starting September 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
- has a coordinating die
I kept both cards for today pretty clean and simple. For card #1 I used the coordinating tree die and die cut 3 trees using some cute floral patterned paper from Martha Stewart. My sentiment is two separate stamps.... 'You make me' is one and 'happy!' is another. There are three other sentiments to finish the 'You make me' that I will be sharing with you over the next 4 days. To finish card #1 I added a few Pure Poppy buttons to the trees.
Up next is Peace, Love & Joy
- features 9 images - 3 decorative words, 3 companion sentiments, an & and ! and a small decorative image
- will retail for $5
- will be available for purchase starting September 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
For this card I started by stamping my bold, decorative words, PEACE & LOVE and then added 'Wishing you' and 'this holiday season!' above and below. The dove image was die cut using the Peace Be Still dove die. Lastly, I added a strip of Pure Poppy cardstock that I die cut using the Rickrack border die.
Thanks everyone for visiting me today. I'll be back tomorrow to share more of both of these new sets. Until then here are a few other links for you to check out...
Enjoy your Monday!!
You make me happy

You did it again! Both these sets are amazing, and your cards are wonderful showcases of your stamps. You are the queen of $5's. These sets rock.
