Papertrey Ink's July Blog Hop

Hi!

Thought I would participate in Papertrey Ink's July Blog Hop!  We were to use the following photo as inspiration:

  

Butterfly cards are among my favourite cards to make!

Sentiment is from PTI's "Think Big Favorites #15".  I used the dies from the "Life is Beautiful" die set for the middle butterfly.  Smaller butterflies were cut with the "Butterfly Die".

Thanks for stopping by!

PTI's MIM #216 - Adding Color to Cover Plates

Hi there!

I am playing along with Laura's Make It Monday challenge over at Papertrey Ink - to add color to cover plates.  You can find the challenger here.
I used PTI's "Text Block: Christmas Die", and used Copics to color the die cut.  Another Christmas card for my stash!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week!

Shake it Up!

Hi,

I'm popping by with a card I made for StampTV's weekly challenge!  Joyce asked us to make a shaker card. You can find the challenge here. This is what I came up with:

Sentiment is from Gina K Design's "Birthday Blessings".  Die-cut butterfly is from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Thanks for stopping by! : )

Cards!

Hi!

I thought I would post a few of the cards I made recently.  Stamps are all from Gina K Designs.

Flowers and jar are from GKD's "Birthday Blessings", sentiment is from "Bold and Beautiful".

Flowers on this next card were embossed with black embossing paste using a Dream Weaver stencil.  Sentiment is from GKD's "Masculine Messages".  

I recently received the new StampTV kit, "Flowers and Frames" from Gina K Designs!  First time using it - love those roses!

I thought I would get a bit of a head start on my Christmas cards!  I used one of my older GKD sets, "Square Pegs".  The little trees are so cute!  

Well, that's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by, and have a super weekend!

Hi!

Today is Papertrey Ink's April 2015 Blog Hop Challenge! The challenge this time is all about navy and pink!

StampTV MIUM Challenge - Red, Black, and White

Hi!

This card is for Donna's Mix It Up Monday challenge on StampTV.  Thought I would get an early start on my Christmas cards - never too early!  : )

Stamps are from Gina K Designs.  Window frame is from "Hip to be Square", and Santa and sentiment are from "Wishing You Joy".  
Theresa Momber (GKD DT) had made a really cute card a few years ago using this frame and a snowman image.  I thought I would try it with a Santa image.

Thanks for looking!  Have a great week!

Mix It Up Monday at StampTV (Stitch it Up), and Mod Squad Tick Tack Toe Challenge

Hi!

Made a card for two challenges.  

Sharyn is the hostess for this week's Mix it Up Monday challenge at StampTV.  She challenged us to use stitching on our card - real, faux, or created with stitching dies.  Since I haven't figured out how to sew a straight line using my mini-sewing machine, I went with a stitching die. Image and sentiment are from Gina K Design's "Holiday Basket".

Mod Squad's Challenge this week is hosted by Kathy Krug and is titled "Tick Tack Toe".



My elements are from the middle, vertical row.  I used flowers, die cut the image with a rectangular stitching die, and popped it up for dimension.  You can find the challenge here

Thanks for looking!

April Foolery at StampTV - Day 2

Hi!

This is for Karen's challenge here - to use blue and orange.

I made a shaker card - images are from Gina K Designs "Under the Sea", and sentiment is from GKD's "Happy Birthday to You".  Shaker elements are made with Papertrey Ink's Make It Market Kit "Shakers and Sprinkles" - really makes shaker cards a whole lot easier!  I also added some microbeads.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
