Papertrey Ink Make It Monday - Reverse Stenciling

Today's card was made for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday challenge.  Betsy has a video showing a reverse stenciling technique.  I don't have a lot of stencils, so I ended up using the Spellbinders Impressabilities Flourish.  It's basically a metal stencil that worked just as well as a plastic stencil and I was happy with the results.  I used that as my background with the PTI You've Been Framed: Hexagon Die.  I love these You've Been Framed dies, as you probably noticed I used them a lot.  The sentiment was done using the PTI Wet Paint Cuts Dies.  The Birthday was from the PTI Wet Paint Stamp Set.  I finished it off using the PTI dies & stamps from the Rosie Posie sets.   The leaves were from the PTI Turning A New Leaf stamps & dies.  So here is my card.

 I like how this background turned out and will probably use the technique again.

Art Impressions Challenge - Aging With Attitude

I haven't posted for a while, but I'm back with a fun card using the stamps from Art Impressions/Hampton Arts that I picked up at Michaels.  The set is called Bowling and it has a lot of fun sentiments and images.  I think these gals go perfect with this week's challenge at the AI Blog called Aging With Attitude.  

The background paper was from the Glitz paper pack called Uncharted Waters.  The sentiment & bowling pins on the front of the card also came with the set.

Art Impressions Challenge - Creative Critters

Today's card is for the challenge over at the Art Impressions Blog - Creative Critters.  I went with a shaker card using the Art Impressions Mini Front & Back Pig & Elephant stamp & dies.  I used just the front of the elephant for my card along with the sentiment.  These are so easy to color and die cut.  The paper was from Authentique called Latest & Greatest.  I also die cut out the small hearts for the shaker part of the card.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

With Mother's Day coming up I made a card to send to my mom.  Since I will be mailing it I didn't go crazy with layers.  I am also entering this card in this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.  First I die cut the flowers using the Wildflower Corner Die from Memory Box leaving the negative space on the dark pink card stock.  Using the same die I cut it again using silver paper and glued it into the negative space.  I used a piece of light pink card stock on the back to fill in the flower.  The sentiment was die cut using a die from Penny Black called For You.  I cut it three times and layered them for some depth. I love all the Penny Black sentiment dies because they are just so delicate looking.  I added some bling to the smaller flowers and that was it.

Art Impressions Birthday Love Set

Today's card was made with two different challenges in mind.  The first is the challenge over at the Art Impressions Blog called show off your stamp.  The second challenge is with Simon  Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge called Let's do Polka Dots.  So I pulled out the AI set called Birthday Love Set one of their AI People stamp sets.  I colored the image with Copics and paper pieced the image with papers from Recollections called Paddywack.   As you can see all the papers used have polka dots.  Here is my card.

 

 

Have a great weekend...

Papertrey Ink Create Along With Us Challenge

Since it's release week at Papertrey Ink the challenge is to make a project using inspiration from the design team.  For my card my inspiration came from Betsy Veldman's card in which she used the new products for this month.  I liked the bold sentiment and how the stamped design grounded the sentiment.  Here is Betsy's card.

I changed my card up a bit.  I used the PTI stamp & die set called Spruce & Sprigs.  I had just ordered this and wanted to ink it up.  The sentiment which is one of my favorites is the PTI Wet Paint stamps & dies.  The bird came from the PTI stamp & dies called Winter Woods.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Birthday Card Using Art Impressions "Cliff"

I need a birthday card for my brother's birthday, so I pulled out one of my favorite stamps from Art Impressions called Cliff.  For my background I die cut numbers using MFT Die-namics By The Numbers from a piece of Kraft card stock.  I then cut out the same numbers from random sheets of pattern paper from the Echo Park 6x6 pad called Getaway.  I stamped Cliff and colored the image with my Copics, layered it on Kraft & black card stock and added some mini black brads at the top & bottom of my image.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
