Green Thumb

Good Morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! And how could it not be a great weekend when Nichole at PaperTreyInk unveiled a brand new stamp set yesterday!? Let’s hear it for Green Thumb! *cheer* I didn’t know if it could get any better after Butterfly Kisses was released last month, but I have been proven wrong and I’m sure this won’t be the last time! Nichole has so much more to show us and I can’t wait to see it! This is one of the samples I created for this month’s release. One of my favorite things about Nichole’s stamp sets is that she makes multiple sizes of the same image allowing for so many possibilities. Make sure you check out the InkPad Gallery to see more samples created with this set! Leave a comment on this post and tell me what you love about PaperTreyInk. I’ll choose a name from among the comments to receive one of my PaperTrey designs. Thanks for stopping by!

    Taylor,
    This is so gorgeous! I love how you make use of so many cuts in putting together your design for the gallery. I did my first purchase of the sentiment stamps because you make it look so easy! Just can’t imagine how gorgeous your creations must be IRL.

    Do you use markers, SU classic inks for these acrylic stamps? i used chalk in in Roan and am a bit disappointed that it stained my stamps even tho I immediately cleaned it. Is this “normal” with acrylics?

    TFS all your work; truly eye candy for me!

    Taylor, Oh, how I love your work, these little flowers appear like I could just pick them off the card! Your site is the first I check each day! You keep me motivated! Thanks, becky

    Hi Taylor. The Papertrey stamps are so versatile like the others have said but they are just so well thought out. Everything goes with the next one! You could really do so many things with their sets. I haven’t ordered one yet, but I’m just going to have to soon! Your card is GORGEOUS by the way and I would LOVE to win it!!

  • Krista Larson

    The cards that you create are absolutely beautiful. I check out your website everyday for inspiration and idea’s.
    I haven’t purchased any PaperTrey sets yet, but when I do, it will be one BIG order. I really like that you can interchange the sets so they can be used together.

  • Alex

    I love to look at the card samples at gallary of PaperTrey site. The stampers are so creative and talented.

    I love that they are clear and acrylic! So easy to line up images. I got the first 2 sets, and am converted! I’ve always said no acrylics – but they are the BEST ever! And I love your designs Taylor. Keep them coming.

    Taylor, I love your card. I fell in love with the Green Thumb set as soon as I saw the Strawberry image. What I like best is that the stamps are very versatile and coordinate so well together. Ida

    I love this card! This was one of my favorite samples of the set.

    I love how versatile Nicole’s stamp sets have been. Her making several sizes of the same image make the possibilities endless. I also love how Nicole has been publishing an idea/tip sheet for each stamp set on her site.

    Congratulations for being chosen as one of the design team members.

  • Lori M.

    OMG! These cards are soooo cute! Just love it!….another resource for inspiration and drooling. Soooo kewel! I read your blog daily; therefore, would love to receive something from the ‘daily editor’! *wink*

  • elana

    I love your card – I’m thinking that I need to place an order! I like how the kits come with an abundance of what you need to make many different cards, and the sample cards are all so gorgeous!

  • DeniseLynn

    Wow – you never cease to amaze me. We have just put our house up for sale, and we already bought another … so no new stamps for me right now when we’ve got 2 house payments to make and 2 little ones to feed. (ok it was silly to buy one first but it was the perfect house at a great price and we just could not let it get away). However … you asked us to tell what we love about PaperTrey – well, what’s not to love?! I plan to place an order as soon as the budget allows. {Anyone looking for a 2 bedroom brick ranch in Grand Rapids, Michigan near Calvin College!? We need to make a deal and plan to be out of hear the first of July!!}

    Let me just say that since I’m not allowed to shop I *really* want to win one of your cards!!

  • Nicole Seitler

    What a lovely, lovely sample! 🙂

  • lsu

    I love how the Papertrey stamps coordinate together so well…they can all mix and match and you get so many choices to work with!

    I hope I win!!

  • Vicki

    I love the papertrey designs, I only have the first set so far, but I will be ordering more soon. My first time with acrylcs and I love that you can change them around to get the saying you want!!

  • diane mcvey

    Your card is just awesome! I just ordered Green Thumb and the Butterflies today! I can’t wait to get them…I love the various sizes of the images, and the great sentiments. The fonts are beautiful, and the little hand stamped with each set is so nice! The sets are versatile, and classy. I’m so happy for Nichole!
    And I’d love to win your card 🙂

  • foodpartyfun

    I love all the stamp sets that Paper Trey Ink has come out with so far. The design team has done a wonderful job of showing us different ways and styles of using the sets. Every set that comes out just gets better!

  • Libby

    I LOVE this card – it was actually my favorite when I viewed the idea gallery on the papertrey website! I’ve just recently started reading your blog, and finding out about all these cool stamp companies like Papertrey and fun blogs to read for awesome ideas! I ordered all 3 of the Papertrey stamp sets this morning – I love the varying sizes, and how great the greetings fit with the stamps – I cannot wait to start playing!! I’m branching out beyond SU, this is not good for the ol’ bank account! 🙂

  • jademingmeidesigns

    YEAH!!! Another stamp company to get in debt with…jk:) I’m loving all there sets, but my first purchase will be their senitments set. I don’t have many phrase stamps so this will be perfect! I hope to buy more sets from Papertrey in the future:) Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us Taylor:)

    Congrats. I was just wondering..do you have a job besides stamping? If not, how do you make time for stamping. Was just wondering because I never seem to have time to stamp enough working full time. Was wondering if you have a full time job how you do it! You create such wonderful stuff that it is so inspiring!

    A few weeks ago over at SCS, there was a thread where people were supposed to list their favorite SCS stampers and I mentioned you and Meg (WAXYO) as mine and commented on how Meg was finally a Dirty Girl and YOU definitely weren’t far behind! LOL I never realized I could see into the future like that… LOL 😉 CONGRATULATIONS! That is SO exciting and no one deserves it more than you, Taylor! I’m thrilled for you. And congratulations on your new endeavor with PaperTrey as well! Your creations are lovely, as always. I can’t wait to see what you do in that arena, too. 😉
