Papertrey Ink Color Pop Fortune Teller Challenge

Well, they are still celebrating at Nicole's blog for Papertrey Ink.  Today's challenge was to make a card using their Color Pop Fortune Teller.  I remember these in grade school, but I don't think I ever played this game back then.  So I'm not sure if did this correctly, but the colors I came up with were Hawaiian Shores, Orange Zest & Simply Chartreuse.  Using this color combo I stamped and die cut pieces from PTI's Lovely Layers for my focal point.   The white curved pieces were die cut using PTI's Sentiments Splits Curve Horizontal Die.  The Simply Chartreuse paper was embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  
The sentiment was from PTI's Swoosh stamp set.  I just curved it to fit the die cut.  The gems were just from my stash.  Here is my card for today's challenge.

Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #22

Today's card is for the challenge over at the Taylored Expressions blog - share joy.  It's a sketch and/or photo inspiration challenge.  I went with the sketch and used the TE stamp & die set Souper Soon.  I think all of these images and sentiments are super sweet.  I made this as a get well card for my friend Cathy who is having back surgery later this month.  The papers were from My Mind's Eye Quilting Bee 6x6 pack.

Here is the sketch & photo inspiration...

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - One Layer

As much as I love clean & simple one layer cards I very seldom do them.  So the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week was a good way for me to do something different and out of my comfort zone.  The challenge to make a card with one layer.  You could use die cuts and embellishments, but it needed to look like one layer.  For my card I pulled out a new stamp & die set I purchased from Taylored Expressions called Souper Soon.  The speech bubble was from Papertrey Ink stamp set called Bubble Talk.  The sentiment "Ouch" was also from the Souper Soon stamp set. 

 I love these cute little images in this stamp set.  Hope you a super day!

Celebrating 9 Years with Papertrey Ink

Wow, there is a lot going on at Papertrey Ink this week for their 9 year celebration.  Today I am playing along with their challenge to create with the design team.  The challenge -  to use all the inspiration this week and see what you come up with.  My inspiration is from Lexi Daly and the card you see below.  This is one of her favorite color schemes.

My card uses the stars from the PTI stamp set Scene It - Celebration.  I masked off a section for my sentiment which was made using the PTI dies called Wet Paint Cuts.  I die cut it 3 times and layered them to give it a little more dimension.  Here is my card.

  

 If you have a chance, check out Nicole Heady's blog and take part in all the fun.

Papertrey Ink You've Been Framed - Oval

Here is a quick card I made up for my niece's birthday this week.  I have to mail it, so I needed something really quick.  This is one of my favorite die sets from Papertrey Ink when I'm in a hurry.  It's the PTI You've Been Framed - Oval Die & stamp set.  The paper is from My

Minds Eye called The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine.  The inside sentiment stamps is from Printworks called Wishing You a Day.  

 

Have a Great Week...

Art Impressions Paper Piecing Party Card 2!

I love paper piecing & Art Impressions stamps, so I pulled out another AI set called Gorden Golfer Set.  This card is also for this week's challenge over at the Art Impressions Blog called paper piecing party.  It's a pretty simple card.  I colored his face with copics & paper pieced Gorden's pants using paper from The Paper Studio Murphy's Square.

 Have a Great Day...

Art Impressions Paper Piecing Party!

Well, I am back to posting after having several months of issues with my eyes.  My sight finally came back in my right eye around the holidays, but my perception was still off enough I didn't think my cards would look right.  So here are my first cards in several months.  Hope you like them.  My first is for the Paper Piecing Challenge over at the Art Impressions Blog.  I used this same stamp set from AI - Don't Sweat It for my sister-in-law's birthday last year and she absolutely loved it.  So I used it again for my sister's birthday I need to send out this week.  I paper pieced her top using papers from Recollections called Paddywack.  The background was made using the Papertrey Ink Comic Strip Plate & the arrows were from My Favorite Things Die-namics called Lead the Way.
