Communique Curves Inspirations

It's that time of the month again... I'm guessing that most of you have been following the Papertrey Ink countdown to the November Release! (happening Nov 15th) If not make sure to check Nichole's blog to get the tour started! There are so many exciting sets this month!

So....are you ready for some fun cards??? Today is the first of two group posts that the Papertrey Team have created for you. It's so fun t be a part of this group and I just love playing with these awesome stamps! Anyone who reads my blog may have notice my love of circles... well, Alli has created a set that it just perfect for you fellow curve lovers. Communique Curves!

First... a Christmas card. This set is primarily a holiday set with a plethora of possibilities.

Classic Alli urban style images fill up this curvy set. I ADORE the font choices and combinations. 

How cute are these swatchy ornaments... and she includes a dot row to hang them from. You can also spy the new BG set Nichole designed this month on these cards. :) Such a great set too!

Here is a fun twist using the mini sentiment set that will available. Nothing like a $5 mini set to stretch your image dollar huh!

I switched some elements up here.... while using the same basic concept.  

The ornament is turned upside down to resemble a vase. (Hannah is taking pottery in HS so that inspired this thought)

I wanted this card to feel a little elegant so I used a string of pearls to trim the luxurious Ocean Tides satin ribbon.  Touches of Lemon tart just make everything pop! (Isn't that a great color combo?)

So here's a trick when trying to get your creative brain to step out of the box. turn your stamps in many directions to see a different perspective. You will be SO surprised to find how many cools ideas will pop into your head!

Make sure to check out the other DT member blogs (----> check in my sidebar for the PTI team) Tomorrow will be another great post... see you all then. Thanks for poppying by!
