Paper Pretties' December Release HOP!

Welcome to the next stop on the Paper Pretties Paper Pretties December Release Blog Hop!! I hope you're enjoying the party so far!  If you’re arriving from Jane's blog, you’re in the right place! If you are just joining us on our PARTY TRAIN, you can head back to the Paper Pretties Blog to start from the beginning. 

This month Paper Pretties is releasing SEVEN brand new sets, available today, right now!!  Yaaaay!!  Today I am pleased to bring you Love Fairy Anna, illustrated by Victoria Case.  Do you love her?!  I do!  Look at those stockings!  She's adorable and comes with several sentiments and flourishes to fit so many project needs.  

Can I take two seconds and point out one of the many advantages of Paper Pretties' high-quality polymer stamps?  See the sentiment on my little Anna here (if I had had a daughter, her name was going to be Anna!).  It is not wavy like that normally.  It's just a perfectly standard straight and even sentiment.  But with acrylic stamps, you can squish and squash and mish and mash until you have things just where you want them, making normally straight pieces into all kinds of shapes if it fits your needs!  AND, because they're clear, you can see exactly how it will look before you stamp it.  When you're done, peel it off the block and viola, back to normal.  Yeah, BIG PLUS!!  Try it, you'll love it!

Thanks for joining us today! We hope you love this release as much as we do!! 

Oh, and remember, you still have lots of time to participate in our Prettie Wednesday Challenge this week (PWC131, Punches!).  A very easy way to win great Paper Pretties stamps!  Link up on the Paper Pretties Blog to play!

Your next stop on our Blog Hop is Pam!  Enjoy the rest of your eye candy this morning, and have fun in the Prettie Boutique when you're done!  Shop Prettie - Christmas is coming early for YOU!!

Prettie Preview - Message Pup

Welcome to Thursday!  It's time ALREADY for another great release at Paper Pretties, and today is the LAST day of our 7-day Prettie Preview extravaganza.  The December release is THIS FRIDAY, December 10th.  

For today's peek, it's all about the message!!  I love this new set from illustrator Victoria Case.  She has such a way with the critters!  This one is called Message Pup.

Isn't he sweet?  He has several interchangeable sentiments that you can stamp inside his card - birthday, Sorry, Love.  It's a very versatile set for kids or adults.  I just love how hard he worked to make that message, he's got all the supplies out!  heehee!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Don't forget to head over to the Paper Pretties Blog for a full list of the day's eye candy and the prize details!  Heather is giving away one of each of the new release sets to a lucky, random commenter, so make sure you're in the running.

See you back here on Wednesday for a new Prettie Challenge!  And of course tomorrow you can get your shop on and take home all SEVEN of these great December sets.  Thanks for stopping by!

For this week's challenge (keyword: PWC131) it's time to PUNCH IT!  Yep, yep, we want to see punches used on projects this week.  I think I might have a couple of those around my stamp room...  ha!  Be sure to link up on the Paper Pretties Blog to enter.  It's preview week as well, so here is my contribution using one of our SEVEN new sets being released on Friday (that's THIS FRIDAY) - Love Birds.  Can I say again this month how much I LOVE Victoria Case as an illustrator?  Her animals are the cuuuuuuuuuuutest!  These two are no exception:

I stamped my love birds with Memento Tuxedo Black onto PTI white.  Colored with Copic markers.  Patterned paper is from my stash.  Velvet ribbon on the side panel.  Punches are the border along the side (red panel) and the rose leaves.  Pearls in the corner to finish it off.

I added in some other challenges today too.  The colors are from the ColourQ (CQC62), and the sketch is this week's Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge (MTSC103).  Here are the graphics (you can see I rotated the sketch):
