Hi everyone! It's been awhile since my last blog post and I am excited to be getting back into the swing of things after some unforeseen events. Today I have a card for PTI's Make It Monday Ombre Stenciled Backgrounds using the colors from this week's ColourQ along with this week's Freshly Made Sketches sketch.

This technique was really fun! I blended a few PTI inks on a piece of white cardstock and then used one of the new PTI stencils to blend more ink on top. I die cut a flower and some leaves from the new anniversary set and stamped them. I stamped the sentiment on a small piece of white cardstock and then adhered everything to the card front. 

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Painted Petals

Dies: PTI Painted Petals

Ink: PTI Blueberry Sky, PTI Tropical Teal, PTI Hawaiian Shores, PTI Stormy Sea

Paper: PTI Stormy Sea, PTI Stamper's Select White

Accessories: PTI Modern Background Stencil Collection

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you're having an awesome weekend!

Warm Wishes

Hi there! Tonight I have a card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketches challenge.

I thought the sketch was so fun and it inspired me to use the new MFT Hot Cocoa Cups dies. I cut my panels and die cut all my pieces. I used a snowflake embossing folder to emboss the background of the white panel and I stamped the red panel behind the circle with a diagonal stripes background stamp. I stamped sprinkles on the whipped cream and by the bottom of the cup and then stamped my sentiment. I adhered everything to a white card base.

My Supplies: 

Stamps: MFT LLD Hug In a Mug, MFT BG Bold Diagonal Stripes Background

Dies: MFT LLD Hot Cocoa Cups, MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flag Stax, MFT Let it Snowflake, MFT Die-namics Circle Stax

Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, PTI True Black

Paper: PTI Pure Poppy, PTI Dark Chocolate, PTI Stamper's Select White

Thank you so much for coming by! I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!

Papertrey Ink November 2015 Blog Hop

Hi there! When I first saw the inspiration photo for this month's Papertrey Ink blog hop I knew I would be participating. Everything about it is gorgeous!

I took inspiration from the white and teals and used some of this month's new products. I die cut all my pieces and cut a panel a little smaller than the Winter Woods cover plate for a background. I blended some Aqua Mist ink onto the panel and stamped some snowflakes in Hawaiian Shores. I stamped all of my die cuts, decided on placement, and adhered everything to a white card base. 

My Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Winter Woods, PTI Fab Flakes

Dies: PTI Winter Woods & Cover Plate, PTI Fab Flakes

Ink: PTI Aqua Mist, PTI Hawaiian Shores, PTI Tropical Teal, PTI Stormy Sea

Paper: PTI Stamper's Select White

Thank you so much for coming by! I can't wait to see everyone else's projects!

Blue & White Snowflakes

Hi there! Today I have a card I made for this week's Merry Monday and City Crafter challenges.

I took the colors and texture from Merry Monday and incorporated the snow queen theme from City Crafter by using snowflakes.

I began by cutting panels and die cutting the snowflakes. I used a Sizzix snowflake embossing folder to emboss the background, stamped the snowflakes, and stamped the sentiment on the smaller panel. I then adhered everything to a white card front. 

My Supplies: 

Stamps: PTI Christmas Cheer, PTI Fab Flakes

Dies: PTI Fab Flakes

Ink: PTI Enchanted Evening, PTI Blueberry Sky, PTI Spring Rain

Paper: PTI Stamper's Select White
