Papertrey Ink - Anniversary Challenge - Inspired by Maile

Hi there!

Today I am playing along with PTI's Anniversary Challenge for Day 2 - Inspired by Maile!

I pinned this card that Maile made during the January release count down. and I recreated something similar using the Baker's Dozen stamp set and Maile's Watercolor Wonder stamp set.

I started off with a soft stone card base and then used the largest die from the Tipped Tops die set and cut it from stamper's select white cardstock.  I stamped the large frame from Baker's Dozen on the right side of the panel, and then using Watercolor Wonder, I stamped some watercolor splashes on the card using Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores and Orange Zest. I stamped off once on scratch paper first to make the images appear more muted.  Then I colored in the cupcake with copic markers.  I added a strip of true black cardstock along the bottom and some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins to finish things off.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Bakers Dozen, Watercolor Wonder

Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest, Hawaiian Shores, Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: PTI White, Soft Stone, True Black

Dies: PTI Tipped Tops

Other: Pretty Pink Posh 4mm and 6mm Sparkling Clear sequins, Copic Markers, Foam Tape

Papertrey Ink - Anniversary Day 3 Challenge

Hi there!  I have a fun tag to share with  you  for the PTI Anniversary Day #3 contest.  The challenge was to create a tag.  I love tags because they can be as simple or complex as you like, and I love working on a smaller canvas sometimes.  For my tag, I pulled it my most favorite PTI stamp set, Doodle Do.  I started by watercoloring on some Distress Watercolor Paper using my new Kurtake Gansai Watercolors that I got for Christmas,  Then I diecut my tag using the Tag Sale #6 die and stamped, colored and fussy cut my favorite flower from Doodlie Do.  I stamped a sentiment from the same set on the tag and again on watercolor paper.  Then I cut out the boxed in part of the sentiment and adhered it to the tag.  It gives the look of masking without having to actually do so.  Then I decided where I wanted my flower to go, and stamped the leaves underneath, stamping one, masking, and stamping the second.  I adhere the flower over top of them using foam tape and finished things off with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh 4mm and 6mm sequins.

I hope to be back with some more anniversary challenge projects in the next little while.  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Supplies:

Stamps: PTI Doodle Do

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Distress Watercolor Paper, PTI White, Berry Sorbet

Papertrey Ink Sketch Recipe Challenge

Hi there!

It's anniversary time over at PTI, and I am trying to get caught up on some of their challenges.  Today, I have a card to enter into their Sketch Recipe Challenge.  The challenge was to choose a sketch and color palette and create something using both together.

I chose this sketch:

And this color palette:

I pulled out my Doodlie-Do set (AGAIN!) and an old favorite, Dot Spot.  I have not been able to stop using  that Doodlie-Do set.  I just love it to pieces!!  I used the largest image from Dot Spot, stamped in Aqua Mist ink, then stamped, colored and fussy cut the flower and leaves.  The sentiment is from Tremendous Treats Birthday and is stamped on a Double Ended Banner diecut.  Then I added a hand drawn border and a sprinkling of sequins!

That's all for now... thanks for stopping by! :)

Stamps: Dot Spot, Doodlie Do, Tremendous Treats Birthday

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Aqua Mist

Thank heaven for Us

Today, my huband and I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. I love that man more than I ever thought possible. *happy sigh*

I wanted to make him an anniverary card, and having just gotten my July Papertrey Ink order, I had to break into my new goodies! I used their new clothesline set, Hanging Out, and of course, my favorite Little Bitty Bird.





I selectively inked the sentiment to create my own, "Thank heaven for us." I certainly do... every day. :)



And on the inside, I just stamped a circle frame from Label Basics, and a sentiment from Little Labels. That left me pleny of room for a super mushy love note ;)

Stamps: Hanging Out, Little Bitty Bird, Label Basics, Little Labels, Fresh Alphabet
Paper: Stampers Select White, Kraft, Happy Spots
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Ripe Avocado, Tea Tye Duo

A Valentine's Tag

I bought an adorable miniature rose plant for my mom for Valentine's Day, and had to dress it up of course! :) I couldn't get a decent picture of the entire plant, but it has the most beautiful little fragile pink roses.



I made a pretty large tag, the size of the entire one side of the pot. Of course, it had to be pink to match ;)

My shot at being a PTI Stamp Designer...

This morning, Nichole Heady announced an AWESOME contest on her blog in celebration of PTI's 4th anniversary. The 2011 Stamp Design Team each designed a tag, which were all compiled into a free download. To participate in the contest, you have to make a card or project using the tags. I love these tags! They are some of my favorite of all of the PTI tag sets!! Here are my entries (please see my seperate blog posts to see close up pictures and supply lists for each card):
