Introducing Nativity Silhouettes and Additions

Hello Everyone!
I must start off with a big thank you for all your sweet and encouraging comments about my new stamp sets. I have been so blessed by check out Nichole's blog, and Lisa Johnson's as well to see such positive feedback. I just wanted to say THANKS!

A run down from on what's going on this week...

• Nativity Silhouttes retails for $24 and releases on Oct. 15 at Papertrey Ink.


• Nativity Silhouettes Additions retails for $15 and releases on Oct. 15 at Papertrey Ink.


• The Nativity Silhouettes die is only $4 and adds so much to easily make 3-D effects on your projects! Don't miss out on that!

Check out my earlier posts from Monday and Tuesday as well.

I love the traditional colors and warmth this card has. PTI ripe avocado, spring moss, and scarlett jewel really make such a lovely color combo. This card showcases the majority of the Nativity Silhouettes set (though there is still more in that set to be utilized!)

I love the gentle touch of the dove floating over the sentiment. I just love thinking of the quiet peace of Christmas Eve. I am sure that very night when Christ was born was cool and silent... how beautiful the stars must have been... how glorious the angel's voices! For me, Christmas Eve is so restful as all the gifts are wrapped, projects are done, house is clean, and we often attend a candle light service at church. My husband and I love to cuddle in bed with hot chocolate and watch a favorite Christmas movie. In the midst of the hurried season that Christmas usually is, it is so nice to stop, pause, and remember WHY we celebrate this holiday. What a gift from the Lord that He sent His Son for us.

Happy blog hopping! I don't know about you but this release is REALLY getting me in the mood for Christmas! My son has already started asking for hot chocolate each night. I think we have a wonderful season ahead of us- and I earnestly pray that you do, too!

Nothing But Grace,

Nativity Silhouettes release

Welcome back to the Papertrey Ink countdown for the October 2011 release. I am so excited to have TWO Christmas stamp sets releasing this month.

• Nativity Silhouettes retails for $24 on Oct. 15 on the Papertrey online store.



• Nativity Silhouettes Additions retails for $15 on Oct. 15 as well.

These sets feature a complete array of distressed silhouette images allowing you to create the Christmas story on your cards, scrapbooking pages, and other projects. Nativity Silhouettes features the Holy Family, stable, two angels, two shepherds, sheep, stars, donkey, cow, starburst and sentiments. (Yes! All that!) The Additions set allows you the opportunity to add the wisemen, camel, palm trees, and other sentiments as well. You will love all the options offered with this set!

Check out my sneak peek from yesterday.

Today's card features PTI's Ocean Tides as a card base. I am really liking the light gray card stock instead of white which is more muted for the humble and quiet nature of the images.

I am also enjoying using pattern paper that is not necessarily designed for Christmas and jazzing it up a bit. On the flowering vines on the pattern paper I added tiny rhinestones to give a little extra twinkle. I thought it came out pretty elegant. You will notice the sentiments feature a very popular and modern font which is great to use with any type of Christmas project.

For the inside of the card, I finished the other side of the stable and added more sheep. (I love these sheep.) And the angel directs your eye to the sentiment featuring some traditional and familiar Christmas lyrics.

Don't forget to stop by and see what the other PTI girls have in store for you! Check out: Nichole Heady, Beth Silaika, Dawn McVey, Maile Belles, and Melissa Bickford. You won't be disappointed!

Introducing "Nativity Silhouettes"

Greetings dear bloggers!
I hope you have been enjoying some cooler fall weather. I feel like I just finished decorating my house with fall frills and now I am already getting my head ready for Christmas! Just yesterday my four year old son and I were counting and reviewing our Christmas movie collection. We have to hide them in the master bedroom closet or my son will insist on watching Christmas movies all year long. :) SO, I counted and was quite impressed that I have 23 Christmas dvds in my stash. I think I will be ready for some Christmas cheer this year!

Well, I am thrilled to introduce a new Christmas stamp set coming your way via Papertrey Ink.

>> Nativity Silhouettes will release on Oct. 15 at Papertrey's online store.
..... This set retails for $24 and also has a matching die set as well. AND there is a fabulous additions set with some wonderful images as well. The set features distressed silhouettes from the Biblical Nativity scene. You will LOVE having this set for many Christmas seasons to come!

Today's card features some cool and wintry colors. I am still in purple mode after decorating my daughter's nursery, and actually used many of the same papers and embellishments to create this card. The blue pattern paper is from Glitz, and the bling and cardstock is all from Hobby Lobby. The "Holy Family" images have coordinating dies. I stamped some blue stars from the set on the pattern paper to give it a Christmas feel. The purple tones make me think of royalty, which is quite fitting for the baby Jesus. He may have been wrapped in swaddling clothes and surrounded by barn animals, but I thought some royal colors and elegant bling would be fun!

Don't forget to check out the other PTI gals and their new products as well: Nichole Heady, Maile Belles, Melissa Bickford, Dawn McVey, Beth Silaika, and Heather Nichols.

Hope you enjoy the PTI count down... see you again soon!

Nothing but Grace,
Tiffany
