Sincerely Yours Introduces: Sending You Comfort

The September release countdown at Papertrey Ink has begun! Today my latest products are being showcased and I am so happy to be able to share with you! Visit the Papertrey Ink blog for links to what the rest of the team has done with Sending You Comfort and Sending You Comfort die.

When I design a stamp set, I always start with, what do I need or want for my own card-making? One thing lacking in my stamp collection was fall images. The other was sympathy sentiments. I also love simple, clean, and elegant images. All of those ideas collided with Sending You Comfort.

Sending a sympathy card is something that we all have to do at times. This set will allow you to create heartfelt cards with ease.

The main images in Sending You Comfort are the two leaf branches. One image is detailed, the other is solid. This allows you to layer the images together, or to use them as I did here in creating this fall-colored background.

The set also includes several other leaf images, along with two sets of ink splats. Ink splats are gorgeous on projects, but making them traditionally makes me nervous. I love these small images. They will be used on many of my projects.

The rest of the set includes sympathy sentiments. The best feature of this set is something that you all requested---sentiments with "we" and "our." Many of you have lamented that sets only include one person in its wording. With Sending You Comfort, you will have both to choose from.

To see more of this set, be sure and visit the Papertrey Ink blog, and also my Instagram account @kimberlystamps. I will be sharing a closer look at the set and the die template there today. Stay tuned here as well for more projects to come this week.

Sincerely Yours,

Mail It Monday: Organization + Free Download

Happy New Year! Happy new logo!

Feel free to grab this image and add it to your blog, or social media page, and share the message of Mail It Monday! Don't forget our hashtag #MailItMonday!

Its the beginning of the year, and I always get excited to start fresh. New planner pages. New calendars. New plans for the next year. New storage. It all makes me giddy! As I continue to work on becoming a card-mailer, not just a card-maker, I wanted a organizational tool to help me keep on top of birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. I created this perpetual calendar and decided that I would share it with all of you! It is a FREE download. Simply click the link below and you will be able to download the calendar and use it to help remind you to send cards!

Mail it Monday Perpetual Calendar

The best part about this downloadable PDF is that you can choose the size when you print it! The basic calendar is a standard 8.5x11" size. But you can print 2 to a page, or even 4! The 2 per page size fits perfectly in my A5 planner. The 4 per page size is the same size as an A2 card. Such useful sizes for us paper crafters. Find the one that works for you the best.

Keep in mind as you use these to fit your planners or binders, double check the measurements. I did find that I needed to trim a bit of my paper off to fit the A5 planner. Especially when I punched the pages to fit inside.

The pages are designed to be plain, but I did that for a reason. I wanted the pages to be personalized. This way you can stamp, use stickers, die cuts, doodle, or whatever! I grabbed a favorite old snowflake stamp set for my January page. You could print these calendar pages on card stock for a more study page. Or even laminate them! Endless possibilities! (my favorite)

Each page has a different quote about sending mail, or writing letters, along with the new Mail It Monday logo. I found each of these quotes inspiring and definitely encouragement to continue to mail those cards!

I hope you find this calendar useful and encouraging!

Sincerely Yours,
