papertrey ink blog hop

I decided at the last minute that I had a tad bit of time to participate in the blog hop this month. This month theme was tissue paper and what to do with it. Well I went original (hee hee) and did a tissue paper flower. Not just any flower but the gorgeous ones Betsy showed us how to do on her blog. I used my spellbinders blossom dies to make the petals bigger. I didn't use any other layers on this card as I wanted to keep the flower the focus. The card base is aqua mist with the leaves stamped in aqua mist.

 I need to get this posted so I'm off for now...........

Later ........

papertrey ink blog hop

 

It's time for another Papertrey ink blog hop!! This month's theme is Design Team Appreciation Day!!! You are to pick a DT member and one of their creations that is an inspiration to you. That is totally a hard call because as far as I am concerned PTI has the best design team around and which one do you pick????:)

So when I saw this card from Betsy I fell in love!! The colors are so awesome and a combo I have not tried before and those leaves from the take three spring set... well let me just say it was this card that sold me on the set........

I mean is this card lucious or what?! I could stare at it for hours!

So this is what I came up with using Betsy's card as inspiration.......

I had to do those little scalloped blocks with the leaves.... I am in love with them!!! I cut out a ton of the scalloped squares just so I can stamp a bunch of these in a myriad of colors!!!

Thank you PTI Design Team... You are the Best!!!:)

Have fun at the hop........

papertrey ink blog hop

Hi friends!  Time for another papertrey ink blog hop. This months challenge was called the "total package". The challenge is to not only make your card or project but finish the inside and the envelope as well. This is the first time I ever did the inside of my card with something other than a sentiment... and I think I am addicted. It was so much fun to go beyond just the front of the card. Here is what I came up with.....

I couldn't resist using the through the trees set. This is my favorite set from the January release. The set has so many possibilities! The inside sentiment is from the "remember" set. On the front of the envelope I used one of the frames from vintage label. I will post the details below to save time...

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

papertrey ink blog hop

This is the first time I have participated in the papertrey ink blog hop. The theme this month is tags or wrapping paper so I went with the tags. I mean it is pretty much a no brainer with the great tag sets that papertrey ink  puts out. I used mainly the 2009 holiday tag collection with the exception of the large snowflake from the 2008 collection. I really wasn't sure what colors I was going to do until I looked at all the scraps left over from Dawn's latest Raspberry Suite Color Challenge and thought "well why not"? So here they are with the latest color challenge as my inspiration..........

What I love about these tags is that they are large enough to use as a focal point on your card but small enough to use your scraps to make. They look great even without the snowflakes I added. I die cut the snowflakes with a cuttlebug die in all the different colors and just switched them all around. I added a few pearls and brown silk ribbon as the tie. These came together really quick once I figured out what I was going to do. Probably took me about 20 minutes for the eight tags.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
