Hi there! It is a little early for a Christmas card as I am not entering this card into a Christmas challenge but I got my PTI September release box in the mail the other day. I couldn't wait to break out my new goodies! I am participating in Freshly Made Sketches. I thought this week's sketch looked so fun!

I die cut most of the pieces first and did all of my stamping on the flag. It came together really quick but I had a little trouble figuring out what I wanted to do with the piece going across the top. At first, I just had a strip of red paper but that looked too plain. I started looking at my patterned paper and I liked the polka dots. I thought it might be too much to use the edger die on the bottom of it but I decided to go for it and I really like it. It adds that little something that was missing. 

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Deck the Halls

Dies: PTI Deck the Halls, PTI Edgers #3, MFT Die-namics Blueprint 13, MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flag Stax

Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, PTI Scarlet Jewel, PTI Simply Chartreuse, PTI Ripe Avocado

Paper: PTI Pure Poppy, PTI 2008 Bitty Dot Basics, PTI Stamper's Select White

You Mean the World To Me

Hello there! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! The cue word at CASology this week is circles. It seems easy enough but there are so many different possibilities for this week's challenge.

I chose to use circle dies for my card. I die cut the circles and the first part of my sentiment and adhered everything to the card front.  I stamped the second part of my sentiment, trimmed it down, and popped it up with foam tape. 

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Scripted

Dies: PTI Scripted, MFT Die-namics Pierced Circle Frames

Ink: PTI Autumn Rose

Paper: PTI Autumn Rose, PTI Patterned Paper, PTI Stamper's Select White

Thank you for coming by!

Enjoy Your Day

Hi there! Today I made a card for this week's PTI Make It Monday. Danielle showed us how to create two-toned stamped sentiments. Her cards are awesome so I couldn't wait to give this technique a try!

I die cut a piece of black card stock using a diagonal cover plate, decided where I wanted my sentiment to go, and stamped it in versamark ink. I heat embossed with white embossing powder and then stamped the sentiment in black on a piece of white card stock. I die cut and stamped the flowers and leaves. I adhered all the layers and popped up the rest of the sentiment with foam tape. I love how this turned out and I will definitely be using this technique again!

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Wet Paint, PTI Brushed Blooms

Dies: PTI Brushed Blooms, PTI Stripes Diagonal Cover Plate

Ink: Versamark, PTI True Black, PTI Spring Moss, PTI Hawaiian Shores, PTI Tropical Teal

Paper: PTI True Black, PTI Stamper's Select White

Having Some Fun With NBUS

Hi there! Today I am super excited because I am participating in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #5!

For this challenge I used Papertrey Ink's Fashion Sense stamp set. It is from this year's Stamp-a-faire and I love it, but hadn't used it yet. 

I went with yellow for my design because I wanted the color to be subtle and let the quote stand out. I cut three layers of card stock, each layer slightly smaller then the one above it. The top layer I also die cut the bottom of to give some interest. 

Thank you, Darnell, for this challenge! It gave me an excuse to use this set and I had so much fun making my card!

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Fashion Sense

Dies: PTI Edgers #1

Ink: PTI Lemon Tart

Paper: PTI Lemon Tart, PTI Sheer Basics Vellum Patterned Paper, PTI Stamper's Select White

Thank you for stopping by! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
