Graduation Gift

I started out making a card for my sister and playing with PTIs new felt. I wanted to make a flower... but it turned out a little big for a card. So I turned it into a pin/ headband instead!

Then I made a card with more of the felt..

And a coordinating notepad (there are actually 2 PTI notepads in this holder

I used PTI's Hawaiian Shore CS, Felt, and ink. Lots of pearls, some glitter (applied with a Zig 2-way Glue Pen), Nesties, a little ribbon and some stitching were used to tie all 3 pieces together. 
 
 
 

Sending You

I was playing around with my new stamps and ink from PTI and came up with this card! The Maya Road stickpin matches perfectly with the PTI Sweet Blush ink, CS and ribbon.  I used my scallop nesties and paper pierced the scallops for a little more detail. The stamp sets used are Big and Bold Wishes and Fancy Flourishes.

SC266 - Birthday Card

I made the following card using the SC266 Sketch from SplitCoastStampers. All supplies are PTI except for the bling. I knew that I wanted to use the cupcake image from the Sweet Treats cartridge, so this sketch worked out perfectly. I cut everything at 3" except for the cupcake wrapper which I cut at 3.25. I then ran the wrapper through my crimper. I added some bling (from Michaels) to the cherry.

I used the Wishing You... stamp set from PTI for the sentiment, and the scallop heart Nesties that my sister gave me for Christmas. I used my paper piercer around the larger heart, and the bling heart is actually an old earring of mine. The cupcake and the mat behind it are both popped up using stamping dimensionals. I am really pleased with how this card turned out!

Megan's Card

Megan and I made a card for a Birthday Party that she is going to tonight. She picked out the image (from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge) and the papers. She even picked out the stamps! She glued everything together also. All supplies are PTI except for the stickles. For some reason I can not find my pink or red stickles...

New Cards

I finished a gift set for a friend this weekend and I love it! All of the materials are PTI except for the Nestabilities and the Martha Stewart glitter and punch. I am not sure where I got the bling...

 

 

More to come tomorrow!

Giftbag Reuse

I received this gift bag for my birthday, but before I could reuse it (in its original form) the bottom got torn. It was too pretty to throw away though!

So, I trimmed, matted and added to CS (PTI) and now I have this card!

I am not sure who will receive this card... it might just stay on my craft table for a little while so that I can enjoy it!

Using Scraps Pt 2.

This is the second card that I made using the Doodlebug PP scraps. I used the same colors and stamp set as the card that I posted yesterday. I changed the orientation, and used the Doodlebug striped paper instead of the floral. I stamped the Hibiscus Burst CS with Background Basics - Text Styles using the same color ink. And I STILL have some scraps left of this PP!

Masculine Birthday Card.. and a challenge

I needed a masculine birthday card and decided to chack out the recent challenges at SplitCoastStampers. This card is for Sketch Challenge 235. It is hard to tell (in this crappy picture) but the sentiment block is popped up on pop dots.

CS: PTI Stampers Select White and Ripe Avocado
PP: Imagination Project

Stamp: PTI
Ink: PTI Ripe Avocado and Tim Holtz Distress Ink
Misc buttons from stash.

Mom's Birthday Card

This is the card that I made for my Mom's birthday. I just got the butterfly die from SU and was playing around. I love how this turned out! The wings are popped up with pop dots and the vellum layer is just adhered under the bling, giving it lots of dimension. The Doodlebug PP is flocked, and I also popped up the sentiment. A butterfly trail made from Stickles finished off this card.

Supplies:
CS, Ink, Stamp: Papertrey Ink
PP: Doodlebug
Die: Stampin Up
Other: EK SUccess Border Punch, Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder, Stickles, American Crafts bling

Wedding Card

Here is the card that I made to go with the Recipe Box (below).

I embossed the swirls on the PTI CS using my Cuttlebug embossing folder and trimmed to fit on the front of the card. I used the same ribbon as I used on the recipe box, but added a clear blue button (PTI) under the bow. I stamped the sentiment using PTIs Smokey Shadow ink on a scrap of paper and then used the EKSuccess mini scalloped punch on the bottom. After matting it on the blue Bazzill CS I decided that it needed something else so I covered all of the holes in the scallop with the same pearls that I used on the Recipe Box. The sentiment is popped up using foam squares giving it a little more dimension.

I love the Smokey Shadow ink from PTI. Black would have been too harsh on the front of this card, and I did not have the right blue ink to match the blue CS (Since it is not PTI). The grey ink worked perfectly though!
