Papertrey Ink Blog Hop: March Post #3

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop: March Post #3

I have several cards here for the PTI Blog Hop, I got inky right after Nichole posted the theme/topic for the hop!  Then the cards sat...... for like 2 weeks... until today.. (Monday the 24th) I FINALLY have time to do something with them!  So here they are! I will have separate posts for each card!

GOLD STAR

I embossed a stars background set from Lawn Fawn in the background, then die cut a large Papertrey Ink Star and embossed the entire die in Gold Embossing Powder!  It is so pretty & shiny!  I then die cut a Boutique Borders Stamp Set and stamped on the image & greetings!

EDITED TO ADD: THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS!  TRULY MADE MY DAY!!

SUPPLIES:

CARDSTOCK: Kraft, True Black, Stamper Select White

Ink: True Black, VersaMark

Stamps: Boutique Borders: Birthday

Dies: Boutique Borders: Birthday, PTI Large Star

Other: Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Make It Monday #105

Here is my take on the Make It Monday Challenge!

This was a card a "cas'd from Pinterest!  The original creator used ribbon where I have glitter trim!  Ribbon & I do not get along well, so the glitter trim was a good substitute!

Supplies: (all PTI unless otherwise noted)

Paper: Stampers Select White

Stamps: Dot Spot & YOF: Lily of the Valley (sentiment)

Ink: True Black & Enchanted Evening (Stamped off)

Other: Martha Steward Glitter & Rhinestone

PTI February Blog Hop

I haven't posted since September, bad blogger, bad I know!  Anyways, here is what I whipped up!

So here is the challenge!

Pull out your letter stamps and alphabet dies and create something monogrammed!  It can be a gift for someone special or a treat to keep for yourself!  You could monogram a set of notecards, stationery, coasters, journals, home decor or anything else you can dream up!  Have fun and experiment with combining different fonts, pairing up stamped & die-cut letters, pull-out neglected patterned papers to use as backgrounds, add texture with impression plates and you can even play around with with unique color combos!  We can hardly wait to see what YOU create!


So without further ado... here is what I whipped up!  I used the new Papertrey Ink stamp set Irresistibly Ikat!  LOVE THIS NEW SET!  I even made some Project Life cards for a friend with it!  I may share that in another post!

Supplies: (all PTI unless otherwise noted)

Paper: Kraft, Stamper's Select, Simply Chartreuse, True Black

Stamps: Irresistibly Ikat from PTI, & Lawn Fawn Quinn's ABC's

Ink: Fresh Snow, Simply Chartreuse, & Spring Rain

Other: 2.25" punch

Card Swap Cards!

Hi friends!

Just wanted to share my cards I made for a card swap I recently signed up for!

I signed up 4 for groups (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas & Valentines).  I didn't realize when I signed up that they ALL WOULD BE DUE October 5th!  What, all at once, I thought maybe due the month before..... anyways, I overreacted for about 5 mins, lol and then got down to crafty business, and totally surprised myself and finished the majority in 1 day and then finished the next day!  YEAH!!!!!

I am also using this particular blog post to link up to Papertrey Inks Mr. Bones Spook Out Blog Hop with my Halloween Card.

We are excited to get back to our inspiration challenges for the blog hop each month.  For the month of March we wanted to focus on sunshine and the upcoming spring season.  What better way to do so than with a fresh color scheme of aqua & yellow.  Use the inspiration piece as a jumping point for your color scheme, pattern combinations, overall design or whatever else inspires your creativity.
