Spring Birds

Hi!

Today's card is for two challenges: PTI's Laurie's Favourites challenge where we are to use our favourite color combination, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Cute.  I love pink and orange together, and used them on the cute little birds.  

Birds are from 'Brushed Birds', sprig and sentiment are from 'Beautiful Berries: Spring', and I used one of the accent stamps from 'Corner Adorner: January' to add some interest to two of the corners.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Sue!

Hi!


Today I have a card for this week's PTI's Laurie's Favorite's challenge where we are to use a favourite sentiment.  I chose this sentiment as it can be used for many different occasions.  This card is to celebrate my best friend Sue's birthday.

Dawn Mcvey hosted a MIM challenge back in June called "Flowers in Reverse".  I was inspired by her beautiful cards, and wanted to try her technique.  

Stamps and dies are from 'Beautiful Blooms 2', 'Flower Power', 'Gran's Garden', 'Turning a New Leaf', 'Painted Petals', and 'Songbirds'.  Sentiment is from 'Penned Elegance'.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi!

Today's project is for two challenges:  PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favourites where we are to use our favourite PTI packaging, and Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge: Feminine/Girly.

I used PTI's pillow die to create the packaging.  Stamps are from "Painted Petals", and sentiment is from "Penned Elegance".

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Birthday by the Sea

Hi there!

Today I have a card for Papertrey Ink's Win it Wednesdays: Laurie's Favourites, and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge: No Stamps Allowed.
This week Laurie challenged us to use our favourite stand alone die; and Simon's Wednesday Challenge is to use products other than stamps.  I came up with this:

I used PTI's 'Text Block Birthday Die' and embellished it with flora and little fish cut from 'Reef Builder'. The waves in the background were created using  SSS's 'Stencil Waves This is the Life' stencil.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

PTI's Win It Wednesday - Laurie's Fabulous Favourites

Hi!

Papertrey Ink have introduced Win It Wednesdays where we have several opportunities to win!  In the challenge "Laurie's Fabulous Favourites", we are to use our favourite color card stock - for me, that would be pink. I used 'Hibiscus Burst' card stock on my card below.  I originally made the card to stand vertically, but see that it works horizontally as well. : )

Large flower is from PTI's 'Rosie Posie' (center is cut from a die from the 'Songbirds' collection), smaller flowers are from 'Beautiful Blooms 2'.  They are resting on a background cut from 'Noted: Pinked A2 Vertical Die'.  Sentiment is cut from 'Wonderful Words: Thank You' die.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Flower Power

Hi there!

Today I have a card using a technique called "Negative Die Cut Backgrounds" showcased by 
Ashley at Papertrey Ink.  

Flowers and sentiment are from PTI's "Flower Power" - a gift from my dear friend, Alvina!
I used a die from PTI's "Shakers and Sprinkles" kit to die cut the background.

I am entering this in PTI's Make it Monday #349: Negative Die Cut Backgrounds, and
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes.

Have a great weekend!

SSS Monday Challenge: Something New

Hi!

I'm back with another card - this time for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Something New. For this challenge, we are to use something new, or something we haven't used before.  For my card, I used a Simon set that I haven't used before called "You and Me".  I'll save it for hubby for Valentine's Day. : )

Have a great week!

Make It Monday #347: Winter Watercolor

Hi!

I am playing along with PTI's Make it Monday: Winter Watercolor.  Watercoloring tends to be quite forgiving, but I think I still need more practice.  Here is my first Christmas card of 2019:

Images and sentiment are from PTI's "Songbirds".

Be back later with one more card.
