Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop

Hi!

Its time for Papertrey Ink's August Blog Hop. I've been busy working on Stamp-a-faire cards its almost 12:30 and i have 3 more to go! I hope get them done and take photo's of everything before going  work at 2:30. Then tonight i can start posting them!!

I completed this card a few day's ago knowing i'd be busy with Stamp-a-faire cards. PTI provided several options for inspiration, each one included a photo, color suggestions and a sketch. This is the one that i picked:

I took a pretty literal take on the sketch, can you tell? :D Ha Ha!!  I stamped the stripes, one in each color on the cardbase.

Then i trimmed a piece of cardstock several times to get 1/4 wide strips. This is the same width as my small double sided tape and i placed it along each strip. Then i poured glitter over each strip, lightly pressing the glitter into each strip.

Next i adhered the strips to the card to the cardbase over the space between the stamped strips. Last i stamped the sentiment above the pink strip.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hi there!

I have another card for Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire, this one for the Mixing Mists to Match. I used a mini mister from Tim Holtz, but found that it really was too small, but it works. I'll have to keep my eye out for a bigger size.

I filled the mister almost all the way up with the rubbing alcohol then added the Pure Poppy reinkers. I only got 50 drops, but had to pore a little out as it was over flowing. When i spritzed my cardstock, its more pink then red, but i sure if i find a bigger spritz or use less alcohol next time, it should come out more red.

Before spritzing my cardstock, i stamped and embossed the sentiment with brown ink. Then i spritzed, i liked how it looked with only a few spritz, but for this i wanted a more solid color.

After letting it dry ( it didn't take long!) I added brown rhinestones to the periods in the sentiment. Last i added the twine where the stamp had lines.

Thanks for stopping by!! I'll be making more cards tomorrow for Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-Faire!!

Warm Holiday Wishes

Hi!!

Hope you are having a great day!! I'm here with my first card for Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire. I have to go to work in thirty minutes :( but early this afternoon i got a the tea staining and misting started, then i got to make a couple cards to start with. I hope to have another card late tonight when i get home and of course more tomorrow and Monday!!

This card is for the Breakfast Bake and Take.

I used this color inspiration:

An this sketch:

This was a quick easy card. I stamped the background in a blue medallion stamp. I added dark green scroll work over the blue background.

I die cut a banner and stamped my sentiment. Then i stamped the Christmas Cheer in red ink, punching it out with a 1 3/4 punch.

I adhered the background panel, then the sentiment and circle over it with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Wow A Perfect Match

Hi!!

Here is my second card like i promised this morning. This card i did for The Curtain Call Challenge - Carnival. The stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop, Admit One is perfect for this challenge!

I stamped the Admit One Tickets on some red cardstock and cut them out. Next i stamped the 2 stars in the set all over the Kraft cardbase with versamark.

Now i originally planned on stamping the sentiment WOW in white ink, but when i stamped 'a perfect match' over it, the sentiment was hard to read.

Sooooo.... to plan B!!! I stamped the Wow in grey ink, the rest of the sentiment in black ink. I stamped the sentiment on teal blue cardstock.

I adhered the tickets with foam tape and adhered the blue cardstock strip across them.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be back tomorrow with several posts for Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire!

Great Job

Good Morning!!

Today i have 2 cards to share, i'll be back later today with the second. I want to get them both in today since i plan on participating Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire this weekend, so the blog will be hopping!!! 

With this card i some how managed to combine 3 challenges (don;t ask me how, it just all came together!!) 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Back to School,

                                                               

 CAS-ology - Paper 

                                                                  

and last The Twinery  - Back to School.

To start with i stamped and colored the teacher image from Paper Smooches and cut it out. I also stamped the notebook page (the paper for CAS-ology Challenge). I cut the page out also, and placed it in the teachers hand. 

To incorporate yellow twine, i added several eyelets and threaded yellow twine through them. At the very bottom i tied the twine in a small bow.

Last i stamped the sentiment Great Job

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back later today with my second card!!

Oh No You Dit-ten

Hey!!

How's everyone doing!?! Its been a few days, i was working on some design work for Hampton Art that had to get done quick, after i finished that i decided to get my normal assignment done also. I finished yesterday and wanted to get photos before going to work. And since i was taking picture i decided to do up a quick card for the blog.

I looked at what i had on my desk and found a stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop that had chevrons i could color with some Neon color pencils. After i stamped the chevrons and colored them, i used a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

At this point i thought it still needed something, but didn;t want to mess up the card as i need to get my pictures taken. But then it came to me to try some sequins. I found the lightly pink iridescent sequins a couple of weeks ago with my jewelry making stuff and after put a few on my card i thought it looked good and finished!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Twine Flowers

Hello!!

It's almost Friday!!! And the day's are ticking down for the start of the Fall semester :( Today i have a card that made for The Twinery's Inspired by Pinterest Challenge.

I used this picture for my inspiration.

Photo Credit

To start i picked out the pink pillow, blue side table, and dark pink flowers and matched them to The Twinery twine.

I decided to make flowers, so punched 3 small circles and adhered matching rhinestones to the center of each circle. Then with some glossy accents for glue, i adhered the twine around the rhinestone layer by layer.

Next to pull in the color and pattern of couch, i found some yellow cardstock and stamped it with a background stamp with orange ink. I trimmed the panel a little shorter then my cardbase, but when i placed it on the cardbase it was too much yellow/orange, so i cut the panel in thirds and trimmed off a little extra. 

But it still wasn;t enough white, the photo has a lot of white from the floor to the wall. So i punched a white border and placed this across the card. Then i stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday and adhered my flowers along with some die cut leaves.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
