Papertrey Ink Blog Hop: March Post #4

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop: March Post #4

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!

Again, I went the embossing route here, I just stamped severel colors of Papertrey Ink, then went over with VersaMark ink and used clear embossing powder to have the shiny effect on them. 
Supplies are listed below!

Make It Monday #157

DIY Cover Plates

I haven't participated in Papertrey's Ink Make It Monday on my blog for a while, so I thought I would give it a go!!  And this little lovely number even impressed myself, ha ha ha!

It was fun to brainstorm what dies I had that would work with this technique and it turned out the hexagons from the Honey Bees would work perfectly!  It is pretty simple execution. 

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

I also added Glossy Accents to the Queen Bee as well as the "Hello" sentiment!  

With a dash of Wink of Stella for some glittery shine!  :)

Have a wonderful day!

Kristi

Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampers Select White, True Black

Ink: Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz, True Black

Stamps:Honeybees, March Monthly Moments

Dies: Hello Die, Honeybees Hexagon Die, Heart-2-Heart #6 Circle Die

BLOG UPDATE: New name & new look

Hi friends!  

I had neglected my blog for a while and came back and wanted to give it a fresh start and a little makeover!  So first off, I re-titled my blog, it used to be BlissfulPaisley, it is now more reflective of things that interest me and not just a name!

I love peacocks, they are gorgeous!  There colors are just jaw dropping!!!  And they are funny too, have you ever heard the sound they make!  ha ha ha!

And paper, people who know me, know that I am a paper snob, love me some good sturdy cardstock!

And finally ink pads, gotta have something to ink up that paper with!!

So this new blog name fits me, my style to a T!!

And kudos to my girl Vernetta for helping me out with the name, I gave a list of things that interest me and it really was a simple as listing them off, I made finding a blog name too complicated, lol!

Any who, a little bit more about me before my next blog post.  

My name is Kristi, my user name a lot of times is: imkristi2

I am a Christian Thirty-Something, Stay At Home Mom.  

I am married (for almost 15 years) to my awesome husby Dan, and we have 4 kids. 

And we have a dog and cat!

My family!

My hobbies include: card making, stamping, just starting to get into Project Life, so maybe I will document that here if I get the nerve.  We will see.  

Also dabble in the occasionally home DIY projects.

Thanks so much so stopping by and taking the time to read my blog!  

I appreciate each and everyone of you!

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

MIM Challenge #65 Using Patterned Paper Scraps

Hi everyone!

Wanted to put my spin on the challenge this week! I have no home Internet as of now, silly satellite service. Oh, it's one of the perks of living in the deep woods! So this post is coming via iPhone Blogger App, who knew such a thing existed! Anyways, I'll be brief......

Here's my card..... I think the patterns could be too busy together, but my friend doesn't think so.

To find information about this weeks MIM Video on Glittered Die Cuts click here.  

Now, on to the card....

I did not have an Xyron Sticker Maker, so following suit of what some other crafter did, I used scor-tape. BUT, I wanted to add a little bit extra dimension to my clouds, so I made them striped glitter clouds!

Take a closer look!

How fun!  Love that little bee with the trail!

Anyways - just wanted to share!
