Warm winter wishes

Hi everyone! Today has been nasty weather wise and it gave me a chance to stamp the day away! I just got my new PTI stamps in the mail and played to my hearts content.

These stamps are from the set called two feet deep. Sled is stamped in Sepia Archival ink and the rails as well as the sentiment are done in black.

The snowflakes in the back ground are stamped using The stamps of life white ink. That's a new snowflake die from PTI -  love it! This one is the middle sized one and I tucked it behind the sled. I also stamped a few snowflakes from the set on the inside of the card.

All cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink.

Thanks for stopping in!

Trick or treat

Hi everyone! Playing in three challenges today. Freshly Made Sketch #105, Simon Says Stamp anything goes and CAS.ology cue card Autumn.

Designer paper is from Die Cuts With A View called the Pumpkin Patch. Candy corn stamp is from Great Impressions and colored with Copic's, then fussy cut and popped up with foam tape to add dimension.  Sentiment is from Studio G $1 stamps.

The card ended up being 4.5 x 4.5. This one went together very quickly!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Thanks sew much

Hi everyone! I made this card up a while ago and just realized that I never posted it!

The dress form stamp and sentiment are from The Angel Company. I stamped the form in Versafine and the heat embossed it using clear embossing powder.

The oval embossing folder and punch is from Stampin Up! The black satin ribbon is from RABOM and the bow is tied using the Bow Easy. Cream and kraft cardstock is from PTI.

Looking at this now, I think I should've layered the dress form panel with black. What do you think?

Thanks for popping in and have a wonderful day!

 

Papertrey September Blog Hop Challenge - Wreaths x2

Hi everyone! I had a little time and decided to make a card for this month's PTI blog hop, wreaths. In fact, I made two! Had a bit of inspiration on the first card below.

I used one of the new Poppy stamps die to create the wreath. I first cut a circle inside a circle with a circle nestie and then cut the leaves off and glued them onto the circle. I added a few pieces of foam tape on the back to give it a bit of dimension. The berries are made with a hole punch. I colored a length of white satin mini ribbon with a Copic red marker for the bow. Added the sentiment from PTI and then popped it up on a rustic cream card base.

This second card was actually the first one I made, but thought it was a little too blah!

I used the Wreath for all season stamp set from PTI and stamped the grape vine wreath and the sentiment in Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. The berries were added by hand using the fired brick distress marker.

Lastly, I added a few lines of embossing along the perimeter and then popped it onto a brown card base. Definitely clean and simple!

Which one do you like best?

Wedding card

Hi everyone! Here's a recent card I did for a friend who just got married. It sort of follows the something old, something blue theme.

The sentiment panel is done using an old page from a book. I covered it with gesso and then used a die from PTI to cut it out. Flower stamp is from CTMH and colored with Copic markers.

Designer paper is from Making Memories. Flower is from OTC and I used the leaf die from Memory Box to go with the flower in the back ground. The double strand of pearls came from Michael's, which I've been hoarding for a bit.

Fall leaves

Hi everyone! Here's my take on two challenges this week. Freshly Made Sketches #104 and CAS-ual Friday's fall colors and a leaf!

The leaves were stamped onto water color paper and then colored with gelato's. I decided to do a bit of fussy cutting and then popped them up using dimensional foam tape. The leaf stamps are from TAC.

Leaf designer paper is from Debbie Mumm and layered with cardstock from PTI. The fishtail banner is embossed with a folder from Life Style crafts. I wanted a bit of texture on the banner and this worked out well.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

caught a bug?

Hi everyone! Here's a CAS get well card for you today!

Stamps are from Lawn Fawn. I colored the little bug with a red Copic marker. I dusted off my square nesties to cut it out along with the black and white gingham designer paper.

Red organdy ribbon is tied onto the layers once I punched out the hole. The card measures 4 x 4.

Have a great weekend - it's supposed to be raining all weekend here, so it'll be a perfect to spend some time in the craft room!
