Papertrey Ink Contest

Hello everyone.  Are you having a good weekend so far?  Well, I got on the computer this morning and saw that  Nicole  had a challenge on her blog.  I didn't get to participare all week beacuse they are due by the next morning and that just wasn't enough time for me to get them finished.  I spent all afternoon trying to decide what I was going to make, then putting it all together.  I was blog hopping around on the design team members blogs and saw  Michelle  had the cutest idea for the challenge.  You will have to go look at her blog and see where I got my project idea from. 

I sprayed the doily with Tattered Rose Glimmer Mist, and die cut the flower on my Cuttlebug using tissue paper.  I cut the butterflies on my Cricut using the Indie Art cartridge on shadow at  2 1/2 and 2 inches.

It is 2 PTI envelopes stuck together and I made a cardstock base for the card itself then adhered it to the 2 envelopes.  Inside there is room to put paper and embellishments for your recipiant to make a card with.

I did put a little different color paper, embellishments and sentiment inside for my friend to use.   I am sure she wouldn't like to make the exact same card.  The felt is also cut on my Cuttlebug using a die cut.

Supplies:

Cardstock:  PTI/ Vintage Cream

Patterned Paper:  PTI/ Pretty Pastels

Stamps:  PTI/ Blooming Button Bits

Ink:  PTI/ Dark Chocolate, Spring Moss

Buttons:  Cosmo Cricket

Brads:  Making Memories/ crystal brads

Ribbon:  Twill tape/ Offrey

The Playdate Cafe #16

Good morning everyone.  How has your week been so far?  I saw a Robin yesterday and today my Cardinals are singing.  That hopefully means spring is coming soon. 

I made a card last night for the Play Date Cafe.  I was wondering how I was going to pull it off with my usual pastel colors I use.  I am just a girly girl when it comes to most things so anything feminine is just my style.  I think I did ok.  What do you think?

This dragonfly is actually a sticker.  I got it at Archivers in the $1.99 spot over a year ago.  It says on the back of the packaging that it is EK Success.

I was having a hard time with the silver color and that is when I found this dragonfly and it has silver wire and beeds along with 2 shades of purple and red.  Perfect!  I used my Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist on  the doily.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/ Plum Pudding

Patterned Paper: PTI/ Pretty Pastels

Border Punch: Fiskars

Stamps: PTI/ Big and Bold Wishes

Ink: Martha Stewart for the purple and Tsuiniko for the red

Doily: cake section at Hobby Lobby

Crystals: Hero Arts

Ribbon: Target/ wedding section

2 sketches 4 you

Hello again!   Like I said before...lots O sunshine....good for making cards.   hehe.  I made a card for 2 Sketches 4 You.  Laura has a great sketch this week.

I am bad at hoarding my papercrafting supplies.  I buy some things and think they are just too pretty to use.  A couple years ago I bought some Making Memories Noteworthy paper and ALL of the embellishments to match.  They are just so feminine and Pink...my favorite color.  Well, I decided that is was time to use it.  I had my PTI Aqua Mist and Lavender Moon out and it looks like it was made for this patterned paper.  The colors matched perfectly.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI /Aqua Mist, Lavender Moon

Patterned Paper: Making Memories/ Noteworthy

Border punch: Fiskars/ apron lace

Ribbon: American Crafts

Flower die cut: Making Memories/ noteworthy

Button: Cosmo Cricket

Twine: PTI

Stamps: PTI/ Blooming Button Bits

Mojo Monday

Hello everyone.  It is sunny and bright here today.  Just don't step outside though...it is still only about 15 degrees.  Perfect day for cardmaking.  The light that is coming in my window is wonderful. 
I made a card for the Mojo Monday sketch.  I have the color collection cardstock paper from Papertrey ink.  One color I have not used yet is Berry Sorbet....so guess what I used in my card?  I paired it with Ripe Avacado and Aqua mist.  I have always liked the look of the tea stained twill tape.  When I was out shopping at the craft store I bought some white twill tape and tea stained it myself.  I didn't leave it too long though.  I just wanted it to look aged...not dingy.  This worked perfect for my card.  The colors together is a citrus look, I think.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink/ Berry Sorbet, Ripe Avacado, Vintage Creame

Patterned Paper: Making Memories/ Flea Market

Ribbon: Twill tape

Stamp: Hero Arts

Flower: Making Memories/ noteworthy

Button: Basic Grey

Scallop Circle: Spellbinders

Twine: Papertrey ink

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Enjoy the rest of your week.

Papertrey sponsered CPS challenge

NOTE:  This is the second post for the day....so please scroll down to see my other post.


Hello again.  I told you I was going to be making cards today.  hehe!  I made a card for the CPS challenge sponsered by Papertrey ink.  As I mentioned in the previous post, I love thier stuff...all of it.  All the PTI girls are playing along this week too.

Here is my take on the sketch.  What do you think?  I am, as I said before a pink lover, and for some reason lately am lovin this Lavender Moon color.

So go on over and take a whirl at it.  Simple sketch that you can fancy up if you like.  I was so happy that I got all the dots to line up correctly.  This was a huge problem I was having.  I love PTI background stamps, but they DO take alot of practice.  Patience isn't one of my stong points, but I guess I must have had enough to get this accomplished.

Supplies:

Carstock: PTI/ Lavender Moon, Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist

Stamps: PTI/ Polka Dot Basics II, Blooming Button Bits

Ink: PTI/ Dark Chocolate, Raspberry Fizz

Border Punch: EK Success

Heart: Cricut/ Storybook

Felt Heart: Making Memories

Button: unknown

Twine: PTI

Ribbon: Target

Hey There

Hello everyone.  How is the weather where you are?  We are getting more snow.  Again!  I have seen so many pictures on peoples blogs where they have 28 inches of snow.  Crazy!  We have not got that much but it just keeps on a coming.  All the more reason for me to make cards.  haha. 
I made a card for the sketch at JUGS and the colors from Colour Q.  These colors are so spring like.  I guess I am just ready for spring.

I love my new PTI stamps and paper.  This is the best cardstock ever.  I just wish I would have found it long ago.  Even my neighbor noticed a difference in my cards.  She said it was alot heavier.  The weight difference of PTI cardstock compared to others is unbelieveable.  I have found myself not buying as much patterned paper or embellishment since I have buying more PTI supplies.  Then I saw on Nicole's blog today that she is going to have her own felt, embossing plates, and dies.  WOW!  I can't wait.  I am just like a child wanting  new toys. 

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream, Spring Rain, Vintage Cream, Ripe Avacado
Patterned paper: Cosmo Cricket/ Ever After
Stamps: PTI/ Blooming Button Bits, Big and Bold Wishes
Ink: PTI/ Raspberry Fizz, Spring Moss
Button: Basic Grey
Twine: PTI

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Hello.  I was dying to get back to making more cards.  I moved some of my paper crafting supplies upstairs.  I had a big set up in the basement but, it is just too cold and there was not enough light.  This winter is lasting too long if you ask me.  I found myself not wanting to go down and make any cards because it is freezing in the basement even with the heat on.  This is much better.  Alot less space, but more inviting.

I made a card for the Color Throwdown and the Mojo Monday challenges.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Paper Reflections~craft & PTI~ sweet blush/ spring rain

Patterned paper: PTI pretty pastels

Stamp: PTI Blooming Button Bits and Turning a New Leaf & Polka Dot Basics

Scalop circle: Nestabilities

Border punch: Fiskars  ~apron lace

Butterfly: Cricut cartridge~ Indie Art

Ink: PTI~ sweet blush & Versa Magic ~ Aspen Mist

Ribbon: repurposed
