Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop


"This month's blog hop challenge involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust! "

With the blog hop in mind, I looked through my PTI stamp sets last night and I couldn't find one set that hadn't seen some ink! I do love my PTI sets and turn to them all the time, however, when I took a second look I noticed that there were some older sets I hadn't used in a while and even some newer sets that I hadn't used as much as I thought I would.



Now I was quite short of time last night so I turned to an idea of Mailes that I'd been wanting to try - her little treat bag. I filled a glassine bag with sweets, scored and folded some pure poppy card to wrap around and tied it together with a piece of sweet blush ribbon. From Everyday Treats (a set I've not used as much as I thought I would) I stamped the mat stack 1 image in sweet blush and added a chipboard heart and a sentiment from BandC monogram (an old set). A strip of bitty dots paper finished it off. One cute little Valentine treat ready to go.
