Papertrey Ink Anniversary Challenge - Heavy Metal Challenge

Good Morning friends!!!  I am here with my final post for the Papertrey Anniversary Challenge.  

Here's the challenge:

With today's product introductions being geared around metallics, your challenge is to incorporate nothing but metallics and neutrals into a new card creation!  Think heat embossing, metallic papers, embellishments, fibers or ribbons.  Time to pull out all of your heavy metal!

and here's my take on the challenge:

I used metallic gold paper, printed paper and gold embossing for this challenge. The stamps and dies include PTI's Life Is Beautiful butterfly die, Circle Scribbles Die and the sentiment is from the Friendly Flowers stamp set.

This was such a fun card to make!! Gold is one of my new favorites!!
Thanks for stopping in!! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!

Senior DT Challenge: Scrap-tastic

We all have 'em. Lots and lots of scraps. Whether it be paper scraps, ribbon scraps or fabric scraps, this month's challenge is to share a clever & unique idea for using those little bits that sometimes end up neglected.

Here's my take on this challenge:

I used some Basic Grey Bittersweet Scraps, a pretty little vintage tag, Say it with Style Stamps from Papertrey Ink, Heidi Swapp chipboard shape, Tim Holtz distress ink-worn lipstick, prima flower and Kaiser Craft Pearl. I used a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2 " card base and cut another piece of cardstock the same size and then trimmed the edge with my pinking shears and then I inked all the edges. I then cut out six 1 1/2" squares inked them and glued them down. Then I tied a ribbon around the card and added all the embellishments. I stamped the sentiment on paper and cut it out and added it to the front of the card.

Very basic, and very easy!! Such a great way to use up those scraps!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!!
