So WHO jumped on the Cigar Box wagon with me? Or the Spiral Bouquet Wagon? Or the stationery kits, and monograms?
Then you don’t need ME to tell you they are AWESOME!!!
I haven’t made my won patterned paper in EON’s (a word my mom uses frequently, and now that I’m getting old I find myself turning into her)! It means a LONG time. It was fun to do that again.
I found it really easy to do using the new PTI set. The possibilities are just endless. Do I sound like an info-mercial? I’m not trying too, seriously!
So I am going to share a few samples with you doing just that-making my own patterned paper with Spiral Bouquet!
I also have another gift idea/template! YEAH!!!
All the items/stamps used are already linked in the above paragraph 😀 Unless noted.
OK FIRST up!
The Cigar Box
I think this is very fall. I have to try to remember that SOME women just don’t do pinks, and purples-SHOCK!!! LOL! I will say I am in LOVE with these colors! It’s good to step outside my normal range one in a while eh?
They are- celery, olive, banana, saffron, coral, and guava-with a splash of balck that really makes this POP!!!
The ink was all versamagic ink-but I listed the compared SU colors for you to understand 😀
The sides of the box are in black cardstock, and were run through my Cuttlebug with the Stylized Flowers embossing folder. I tied around a large Olive Satin ribbon from May Arts. The flower’s are by Making Memories, and Bazzil as are the black brads.
I sponged all the edges in black, and then spritzed with my color spritzer. This is the box to house a yet to be created Monogram note-card set. I’ve been out of commission-so thats is my excuse for not having a view a of it first. But I didn’t think you wanted to wait to see it!
I adhered this stuff using myATG Gun.
Next up-G is for Grateful.
You don’t have to use the monogram’s sets, JUST for monogram’s ya know 😀
I love making sets like this. If the person’s first/last initial happens to match then that is pure GENIUS!!! Unfortunately for me-this is not the case. But I think 6 of these as a set is a great gift for those Yankee swaps and whatnot. Especially when they have a $5 value. If its more then I do more. People usually fight over my sets when Jason brings them in 😀 That makes me all warm and fuzzy. I am always told they re-gift it, but I am taking that as a compliment! Try to keep it SIMPLE.
So this set, is another with earthy colors. I so LOVE the color River Rock. Its really beautiful. Funny because I thought it was HIDEOUS when I saw it in the catalog! LOL! Now lookie who loves it!
These colors are river rock, wasabi, guava, and ruby red. SURPRISINGLY Pretty aren’t they?
What I love is the fact that the circle cut out reveals the under layer, and the inner circle is on dimensionals. A new thing I have been doing, and I just love the look. In person its very striking.
Now what you may have been waiting for!
Quick and simple note card set! The “For you” is PTI-Paper Tray set.
I bought these little notecards/envelopes at Walmart- $1.89 for a set of 8.
I decided to make a quick set of these, with a vellum cardstock holder. Vellum gives it an elegant touch I think. I certainly could GLAM it up, but chose SIMPLE. I asked Amber’s teacher what her favorite color was. She said pink and purple!
YEAH!!! So this is Lilac, Peony, and Merlot ink. Its all colorbox chalkink for this one. GORGEOUS colors in person-I swear.
I just took mylarge scallop nestabilitiy, and made my scallop frame. It steps this simple card up form plain Jane, to a WOW I think! Again for a splash of color I spritzed it with my color spritzer. I did 8 of these in a 1/2 hour. Due to the framing, and 3 step stamping.
I then decided to create a holder.
Now you need to note my holder is for cards that are sized 4 3/4 X 3 3/4.

So there you have my latest Paper Trey stuff!
I hope to do more. We shall see 😀
Hope you enjoyed.

Simply GOJUS!
I just got that alphabet set from Nichole and love your ideas! I like how you stamped a flower underneath the letter and the little cut out circle. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
Lauren, I’m with you! I purchased the cigar boxes, Spiral Bouquet, Monograms (both sets) and the stationery kit, but haven’t done a thing with them yet! Your things are gorgeous so I have some more inspiration now! TFS!!
Oh….my…goodness! I’m speechless! I “must” get that monograms set and floral set asap! (Praying Santa gets it for me)
Lauren, I just got to say how much of a treat it is to visit your blog every day! You are awesome!
Hey, congratulations on all your submissions in the crafts magazine (the name slips me at the moment). That’s wonderful and I’m so happy for you!
I love the River Rock card and my poor spiral bouquet hasn’t seen ink yet. I did get the stationary, monogram set, but not the cigar box. I made a lunch tin instead since I had several in my craft room and I vowed to use my alterables before the end of the year. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas. I love the vellum card holder even though I have several PT clear card boxes.
I love these!!! You’ve given me such inspiration to create “things” with these stamp sets. I have them both. You are so kind to share your talented ideas with us….THANK YOU! I’ll be giving the vellum card holder a TRY, hopefully real soon. I’ve completed a handful of the Ghiradellis chocolate box that you showcased and I’ve gotta say….”I love it”! :0)
WAOW, simply WAOW!!!! 🙂 The vellum holder especially is stunning.
Now if that doesn’t scream “I took the time to do something special for you because you’re special to me” then I don’t know what does!! 😛
I have been eyeing the monograms since I saw them on a card Amy did… (I put them in the online shopping card yesterday actually!…) then I really tried to convince myself that I couldn’t afford them now (even though the monogram set is only $15…but then I need the border & frames and that’s another $15…*sigh*) and now that I see them again I think I’m gonna give in!!! Arrggghhh…
The thing is now is the time of the year when monograms would be more useful for gifts….Right?…
You know me…I LOVE these Lauren… I needed to order more stationary kits for my DDs teachers today, and somehow Spiral bouquet snuck into my cart 😉 I had been SO good…but then became SO bad…
Gorgeous projects, and great template…thanks for sharing!!!!
these are great projects Lauren. I have already placed two orders with PTI this week and somehow kept Sprial bouquet out of the cart however you have enabled me once again and it looks like I’ll have to order it. Maybe just maybe I can hold out for the reveal this month. TFS!
Love all these samples. I bought this kit but have not had a chance to play yet. Will be doing that soon.
Janine
Great ideas!! Now I have to get this set as well. I already went into debt with all the Christmas sets and now??!! See you are an enabler, LOL!! Actually just give me a reason can even be a very small reason and I’m off to buy! ROFLMAO
So, I’m still on your list right? I didn’t get my package yet, but you have lots of time to mail before Christmas. I just have another reason to stalk the mailman & UPS guys. Actually they are so glad I work during the day so I can’t stalk them! HA!!!
All kidding aside, you ROCK!! I love your stuff and that cigar box is bee-U-tee-full!!
These are AWESOME Lauren! I love your vellum box! These 2 sets are just so beautiful, I am guilty of not playing with them as much as I want to or should. But I HAVE to make 3 cigar boxes and stationary sets in the next 10 days. Way to put the last minute pressure on myself.
Thanks for sharing dimensions! =)
Wow! I didn’t jump on that bandwagon with you and wish I had now. Beautiful!
I love these, they are absolutely stunning, love those colors together.

So you gave a great idea is really beautiful. I saving money for this nestabilities
