Papertrey Ink Anniversary Day 2 - Maile Returens

Hi everyone!! Whooo hooo!  It's hard to believe it, but I am back once again with a project for the Papertrey Ink 8th Anniversary Challenge!!   I can't even say how much I have missed crafting so this challenge is absolutely just what the doctor ordered!!!  Here's the challenge:

I think it is safe to say that we ALL admire Maile and her incredible sense of style!  Take a few moments and peruse through her blog to explore all of the amazing projects she has made over the years.  Select a project that you find particularly inspiring and make your own project using elements from her card.

Maile is so amazing and has so many amazing designs to choose from, it was hard to pick just one.  After much searching and deliberation, I chose this card of Maile's for my inspiration and here's my take on the challenge:

 I used a black card base and layered a white panel on top.  I cut several happy's out of Tinsel and Tags patterned paper along with a stamped birthday banner.  I added a fun little arrow from the Phrase Play #3 die to complete the design.

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Hope you have a wonderful evening!!

Papertrey Ink 8th Anniversary Celebration Day 1 - Inspiration Cards

Whooo hooo!!  Hi there dear friends!!  I am so excited to get out my stamping goodies and participate in Papertrey Ink's  first day of festivities!  

Here's the challenge:

1. Create a new project that uses one Color Recipe Card and one Sketch Recipe Card:

and here's my take on the challenge:

I stamped the pattern with one of my old favorites, PTI's Polka Dot Basics in Aqua Mist Ink that I misted with a spritz of water.  I was going for a bit of a watercolor look with this card.  I inked up the Rosie Posie florals and spritzed each one with a squirt of water and stamped them onto a watercolor paper panel.  I used Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet, Ripe Avocado, and Spring Moss.  I totally love the watercolor feel of the stamped images!

I die cut the Wet Paint sentiment and stamped the birthday image.  I layered the watercolor panel on top of a Aqua Mist card base.

Very quick and simple and I am loving the color combination!!!

Have a wonderful evening!!

Just for Fun!!

Hi there dear friends!!  It's been a while since I have posted and I am so excited to say that I finally found my mojo!!  I have been so busy with work and updating our house that I haven't had a lot of time for crafting.  I just gotta say it feels so good to get my creative juices flowing again!!  Today I have a little card I made just for fun using Papertrey Ink's Garden Grace Stamps!! I love these stamps and I know I will be using them again and again!!

I sprayed the base layer with Heidi Swapp Blush Color Shine and Stencil Set.  I stamped the florals with the Pink Ink Pad from Heidi Swapp and I stamped the leaves with Papertrey Ink Limeade Ice. I watercolored the inside with various Papertrey Ink Pads.  The new Papertrey Ink Luxe Letterpress sentiment is promising to be one of my all-time favorite Happy stamps!  It is supposed to be stamped at an angle, but I rebelled and stamped it straight across.  I love it!!  It's even better stamped with Heidi Swapp's Pink Ink!!  I topped off the card with a hand dyed seam binding ribbon.  I can't wait to give it away!!

Supplies Used:

PTI Garden Grace Stamps and Dies

PTI Luxe Letterpress Stamps

PTI Stamper's Select White Cardstock

PTI Sweet Blush, Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice, and Orange Zest Inks

Heidi Swapp Pink Ink

Heidi Swapp Star Stencil Set

A Little Cashmere Dame Love With Glitz Design

Good Morning Dear friends!! I have a little Cashmere Dame love to share with you!!  My first card to share with you today is very special to me! My sweet daughter's birthday is this week and I wanted to make her a very special card and I'm loving the way it turned out!

I started off with a die cut base and added some layers using some papers from the 6x6 Cashmere Dame pad.  Next I added a Cashmere Dame Journaling Sticker that I stamped with a sweet little Flurries of Love stamp.  Then I stamped the adorable little girl on the blue stripe, the solid blue and the light pink papers from the 6x6 pad and then fussy cut them out and glued the pieces to the little girl.

I added some Cashemere Dame Paper Garland, lace, glitter, a hand dyed seam binding ribbon, button and hand stamped sentiment.

In the next card, I layered several different patterns from the 6x6 Cashmere Dame pad.  The colors are so fun and I had a blast playing with them!!!  Who doesn't love a bowl full of cherries??

I created a tag using a sticker from the Cashmere Dame Titles Stickers and a fun little Cashmere Dame Glitzer Sticker.  I added some little hearts and rhinestones to the cherries for a fun little touch.

I cut out the diva from another piece of patterned paper and made some stripes with the banners from the same paper. I added a hand dyed seam binding ribbon and a little bauble from my stash.  The inside of the card was printed on my computer and I also used the fun little cherry Glitzer.  The embellishments in the Cashmere Dame line are fabulous!

Supplies Used:

Glitz Design Cashmere Dame 6x6 Paper Pad

Glitz Design Cashmere Dame Glitzers

Glitz Design Cashmere Dame Titles Stickers

Glitz Design Cashmere Dame Journaling Stickers

Glitz Design Cashmere Dame Paper Garland
