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.

PTI Make It Monday - Creating With Stripes

Today's card is for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge - Creating With Stripes.  Lori's video showed some really creative ways to use stripes on your projects.  For my stripe I used the PTI stamp set called Ombre Builders.  I added a red ribbon to add a little pop to the stripe.  The flowers are from the PTI Brushed Blooms set and the sentiment is from the PTI Just The Ticket.  This is a great set when you need just a small sentiment.  To shake things up a little bit I stamped on Kraft card stock.

For the inside I used the Printworks stamp Wishing You Everything.

Have a great day...

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - No Designer Paper

I love using patterned papers with my cards, so it really was a challenge to make a card this week for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - No Designer Papers.  I wanted my card to have the depth & dimension pattern papers can give to a card.  So first I ran a sheet of white card stock through my Big Shot using the Stampin Up Textured Impressions Stripes embossing folder.  I layered that on some Rose Red card stock to match my stamped flowers.  Using the Papertrey Ink Quilted Spring dies & stamps I die cut the quilted square, stamped it and placed it on a piece of white card stock that was stamped with a script background stamp from Indadinkado called Letter.  The flowers were die cut & stamped with the same PTI set.  The "happy birthday" was die cut using the dies from Penny Black called Celebrations.  I die cut 3 sets and layered them together.  Here is my card for this week's challenge.

 For the inside I used a stamp from Printworks called Little Treasures.

Have a great day...

Stamping Bella Wedding Card

My niece had asked me to make a wedding card that she is going to in November.  So I pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets for weddings from Stamping Bella from the Uptown Couple series called Brett & Brenda Get Married.  This is a really large stamp, so I only colored up the top half for my card.  The papers were from My Mind's Eye Love Me 6x6 pack.    Not your conventional colors, but I think it works.  The "celebrate" was die cut using Penny Black's die cuts called Celebrations. 

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Die Crazy
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes 9/15 - 9/21

I'm giving my niece the card today and of course it was cloudy, so the pics are not the best.  Also, for some reason my red doesn't film real well either.  This is actually SU's Cherry Cobbler.

Here is the inside.

Have a great weekend!

Papertrey Ink Create With Us Release Week

Papertrey Ink has just released their new products for the September release, so they are having a create with us challenge.  The idea is to take inspiration from the different projects the design team has come up with be it a technique or color combo - whatever really grabs you.  For my card I took inspiration from a card that Maile Belles did.  Click HERE to link up to Maile's card.  What caught my eye was how she used the PTI Angle Horizontal Split Die and the stamped image.  So with that in mind I did the same layout only using the PTI Curved Horizontal Die and the Harvest Berries Stamp set.  The sentiment was from the Hero Arts stamp set called With Sympathy.  I was able to curve it a bit when I stamped it.  

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
