Grand Ampersand & Holiday Cheer Day Two

Hey there! Thanks for joining me for day two of the Papertrey Ink September countdown. I'm back today to bring you more of my new sets... Holiday Cheer and Grand Ampersand. These fun new sets have lots of possibilities! From the looks of it, it sound as if some of you are as excited about these sets as I am! 

Holiday Cheer is a clean and modern Christmas set.  It includes 3 main image stamps, 5 filler dots and 5 sentiments. Holiday Cheer will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning September 15th, for the price of $15. Coordinating dies will also be available then.  

Be sure to stop by Nichole Heady's blog for more samples and a look at the dies.

Now onto today's peeks...
Using the same images as yesterday I created a one layer (super mail friendly) card.
This time around I featured the small filler dots and an additional sentiment, that fits nicely either next to "Merry Christmas" (as pictured above) or placed inside the card.
Here's yet another one-layer card!  This one features another image from Holiday Cheer... a trio of hanging ornaments.  I quickly stamped them in a Christmassy color combo and finished it off with a sentiment.

Grand Ampersand is a versatile sentiment set that can be used for holiday cards, or even carried through to the rest of the year with several other applications.  It includes 8 ampersand images, 4 other coordinating images and 19 build-able words/phrases. Grand Ampersand will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning September 15th, for the price of $15. Coordinating dies will also be available then.  

Be sure to stop by Nichole Heady's blog for more samples and a look at the dies.

Today's peeks...
I began by hand stamping a pattern onto the card base using a few of the ampersand included in this set.
Using three of the words included in Grand Ampersand I was able to create the phrase "Now and Always".  Perfect for a loved one, anniversary or wedding.
Here's yet another ampersand love card.  A simple white layout featuring a pop of color.
I die cut the ampersands (using the coordinating die) from white cardstock and attached them directly to the card base.  Die cut and stamped an additional ampersand, attached it to the card base with dimensional adhesive and then finished it off with a "Me" and "You".

Well, that concludes today's look at Holiday Cheer and Grand Ampersand. Just remember... these stamp set and coordinating dies will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning September 15th. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think, so please feel free to share!
