Make it Mondays #13

This week's video is about selective impressing. I used my picnic plaid impression plate with Fillable Frames #4 on Gold Harvest card stock. I added a beautiful blooms felt flower out of Terracotta tile and berry sorbet with a dark chocolate felt button tied with twine backed with a delightful dahlia leaf cut from cheapie felt. The sentiment is from YOF: Violets. It's all put on a dark chocolate base.



Thanks for looking!

Think Big at Papertrey Ink

And I have another challenge from PTI.

We want to see YOU take things BIG! Really BIG Your challenge today is to create a project that incorporates something unexpectedly mega-sized! this could be a super-sized tag, a gigantic embellishment, a huge flower, really big buttons or even a BIG focal point that takes center stage.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE the number dies from PTI! I've used them for my big focal point. I have them cut from terracotta tile felt, sitting on harvest gold debossed with the book print impression plate on a spellbinder lacy circle. You can't see in the photo, that I have polka dots on the terracotta background. And the sentiment is resting on a spellbinder ribbon tag tied with floss.

Go-to Sentiments Card

I am loving the Papertrey Ink Anniversary week.
Another challenge from Nicole:
Use multiple sentiments from different sets to make a card.

For this card, I used:
Make a Wish, Blooming Button Bits, Birthday Bash Sentiments, Asian Fusion, Fillable Frames 1 and 7, and Big Birthday Wishes.

Papertrey Ink Anniversary Celebration Day 7

Today, Nicole has wowed us again with wonderful new products and projects.
She has challenged us to make a tag that uses a frame.
I used mat stack one embossed with the linen impression plate, in raspberry fizz. I layered this on a kraft tag cut with a spellbinders label. Then I cut and stamped fillable frames #10 in chartreuse, with a sentiment from Birthday Bash Sentiments highlighted with some rhinestones. Then my tag was tied with PTI raspberry fizz and gold ribbons.

Papertrey Ink Celebration challenge

Papertrey Ink as part of the anniversary celebration posted a set of tags designed by some of the stamp designers. We were challenged to create a card with one of the tags. I used Nicole's happy birthday tag. My card was made using the numbers impression plate, the rick rack die, and the polka dot basics stamp set.

My favorite PTI product

I am so excited to participate in PTI's anniversary celabration. Nicole has asked us what our favorite product from this year is. Mine is definitely the dies. Nicole asked us to share a project using our favorite product. I am sharing a scrapbook page using the number dies, the victorian lace die and the big birthday wishes stamp set.

January Papertrey Blog Hop

Nicole's challenge to us this month is:

New Year's Resolution

With the new year comes a clean slate along with many resolutions. This month's blog hop challenge
involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that
might be collecting a little dust!

I chose Wise Owl, one of those sets I just had to have, but never used. I added Around and About Sentiments and the candle from Make a Wish. The border is the eyelet lace die cut in half. Add in some bitty star paper, a punched star and some brads.
