PTI Make It Monday - Masking Sentiments Card 2

Here is my second card for the Papertrey Make It Monday challenge.  It's basically the same card only for this one I used the PTI Circle Scribbles stamp set for my background.  Again, the sentiment is from the PTI stamp set Mini Blooms and the dots were done using Inkssentials Enamel Accents.

PTI Make It Monday - Masking Sentiments

Today's card was made for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge.  Ashley Cannon Newell has a video showing her tips & tricks for masking sentiments.  My card was made using the PTI Funky Florals as my background.  I just used a square punch on a post-it to make my mask, then stamped it with the "Hello There" sentiment from the PTI stamp set Mini Blooms.  I used Inkssentials Enamel Accents for the black dots around the sentiment.  It's a little hard to see in the pic, but I used blue, pink & yellow Stickles on all the dots.  In person it's really pops and almost looks like fireworks.

Changing Things Up

Today's card is a change of pace from my usual cards.  I try to come up with my own designs or work off of a sketch from a challenge, but every now and then I see a fantastic card design that I want to recreate.  And that is what today's card is about.  I saw this card on the Do Stamping with Dawn blog.  She is a Stampin Up Demonstrator that has many unique card designs that are easy to create, but look great.  I went to a SU party several years ago and when I saw the Summer Silhouettes stamp set I had to have it.  Well with everything it was put on the shelf and never used.  When I saw Dawn's card I had to pull out this set and fell in love with all over again.  To see Dawn's card click the link HERE.  I changed up the sentiment, which was from the SU Sincere Salutations set.  I just banded my ribbon  instead of a bow and layered the stamp piece on Old Olive card stock.  Here is my card.  

 Since this card was so easy to do I made several using different sentiments.

I went a little crazy and did the inside too!

Have a great weekend...

Art Impressions Challenge - Anything Goes

Well, I am finally back after hip replacement surgery.  It's taken time to manage the steps, so this was the first week I was able to get down to my craft area and make some cards.  Today's card is for the Art Impression Challenge - Anything Goes.  I pulled out the AI stamp & sentiment set Goldie Golfer, colored her with Copics & paper pieced the skirt & visor.  The papers were just from my scrap bin.  The letters were cut using the MFT By the Letters Die-namics  and the background paper was cut using the PTI Angle Vertical Die.  Here's my card for this week's challenge.

Art Impressions - Spring Colors

Well, it's week two of the Spring Colors challenge at the Art Impressions blog.  I was digging through all my AI stamps and I found the Sally Swimmer set which includes the sentiment.  I forgot I even had her, but she was perfect for spring colors.  The papers which are also bright were from Doodlebug Design called Take Note.

 

Have a great Easter Holiday...

Make It Monday - Double Partial Die Cutting

It's been a while seen I done a card for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge.  This week Laura shows how to make a card by double partial die cutting.  For my card I pulled out the "Happy" die form PTI's Tipped Tops Dies.  The background was done with an air spritzer and markers.  The birthday sentiment and flowers were die cut and stamped using PTI's Bigger Blooms.  The paper is from Fancy Pants Designs Park Bench series.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Papertrey Ink Make It Monday - Double Partial Die Cutting
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Happy Birthday

 

Have a great weekend...
