fun with PaperTrey Ink!
I got some great new stuff from PTI last week. I was able to make a few fun things with this stamp set. I LOVE IT. God I just think of all the cool things I can do with it! So much fun.
EDIT: the polka dots in photos below are stamped with this stamp set, also from PaperTrey. LOVE.
Anyway, I grabbed this template from Nichole’s blog & used it to create these. I had to modify it a bit as my paper pad wasn’t the same size, but it worked out OK. These make fun gifts for people. I especially like the one that says “websites & blogs” - what a clever idea for writing down URL’s & Passwords, etc.
I grabbed inspiration for the look of these from Heather’s blog post. Can we just take a moment & discuss how unbelievable her blog is? *DROOL*. God I love her stuff!! It’s definitely one of my fave blogs.
The cardstock on all of these is from PaperTrey Ink. It’s the best cardstock I’ve found. VERY thick & sturdy…makes it perfect for projects like these where you really need the thickness. I LOVE their Kraft CS. It’s the best. I used their white ink to stamp these polka dots…
I then decided to jazz up some older post-it note holders that I had lying around. These are simple ones that I had made using some coasters & my Bind-It-All a while back. I added some ribbon & this stamp which gave it a finished look.
Once the Holidays are through, I’m sure I will use more of this set. I think I already sold the ones that I pictured above at my fair this past weekend. But they are pretty quick & fun to make.
These are GORGEOUS!! Love the “clean” look, I have seen a lot of this projects in other blogs but you give them a special twist and I totally love coming to your blog! great job!!!
QUESTION: where did you get the polka dot background stamp? looks AWESOME!
Hi Kerry:
I just discovered your blog recently - you are SO talented! I’ve loved stamping for years and would love to have a little side business going just to support my habit. You’ve inspired me - I’m thinking of starting small with a basket in my husbands office… You’re my new stamping hero!! (I’m in MA too!)
Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Lucille- thanks!! That background stamp is from Papertrey Ink too! I will edit the original post to note that so everyone can see. It’s SUCH a great stamp set!
Thanks so much for the info! Can’t wait to see more projects! {wink}
