Make It Monday #168: Baby Wipe Stamping

Another quick post for a Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge from Ashley Newell.

You can see the video here. It required a little experimenting with color combos to come up with a baby-wipe "pad" that didn't turn out too muddy.

I stamped the flower along the edge of white card stock, over-stamped in black with the outline image then fussy cut down the right edge. The white panel is then layered over Hibiscus Burst card stock. Definitely want to try this again with other color combos.

Stamps and die: Pretty Peonies, Keep It Simple: Sympathy

Cardstock, ribbon: Papertrey

Ink: Hibiscus Burst, Harvest Gold, Aqua Mist; Versafine Onyx Black

Make It Monday #166: Debossing Stamped Images

A quick post for this week's MIM. This is a pretty simple card as compared to my usual designs. I was trying to embrace all that white space, and finally am at peace with this card. (I channeled a couple of PTI designers I am fond of...)
I still had my Inchie Arts mat boards on my desk from my last post and decided to use one for this challenge. These lovelies deboss just beautifully. I think I will be using them more often, as their smooth surface lends to so many coloring mediums and techniques.

Supplies:
Papertrey Stamps and die: Feather Finery
Papertrey Inks: Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal
Versafine Onxy Black
Inchie Arts: 3" mat board
Card stock: Papertrey Ink, SSS Woodgrain
Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh

Avery Elle - AEI♥U Challenge #6 Mother’s Day!

I've not entered an Avery Elle challenge previously, and this was a lot of fun. I recently purchased the AE pigment inks (LOVE!) and used them almost exclusively on this card. The floral bouquet is stamped using a "ghost" technique, laying down a layer of Pure White, and over-stamped with Raspberry and Celery inks. I really like this effect. I didn't have a Mom stamp, so used a Silhouette cut file which I layered for a 3D effect. (If you are looking for my PTI MIM challenge card, it is here)

Supplies used:

Stamps: Avery Elle Thanks A Bunch, Handwritten Notes

Ink: Avery Elle pigment, Colorbox pigment (brown embossed "really")

Cardstock: all Papertrey Ink

White dots on Mom - Signo Uniball White

Diamond Stickles

Paperytrey Make It Monday #163: Envelope Wraps

Another Make It Monday challenge at Papertrey Ink. I made this card to send to a friend on the PTI forum who did something very nice for me awhile back. So decided to play along with this week's challenge and "fancy up" this envelope.  I used sticker paper so this should have no difficulty going through the postal machines...I hope! (The address was filled out before I took a photos, which is why it is covered up here - did't think she'd appreciate me publishing her home addy on the web :)

Supplies:

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink Make It Market Kit #1

White Adhesive Sheets - PTI

Stamps: Make It Market Kit #1, Gratitude Journal

Ink: Delicate Gold, Colorbox pigment ink, Papertrey Ink Dye Inks

Sequins: Pretty Pink Posh

Dies: Notched Hearts Banner Die

More Botanical Silhouettes

I made this card while I had Botanical Silhouettes out for my last card. I sent this to a friend who lost her young son three months ago in a motorcycle crash. Even though she is trying to return to her new "normal" I know she remains in great pain from which she will never fully recover. I try to send her a little something every few weeks just to let her know I am thinking of her.

Botanical Silhouettes

This is without a doubt, my favorite floral stamp set to date. It is Papertrey Ink's 4th anniversary set, Botanical Silhouettes. I purchased so many stamps and supplies from PTI that year, it qualified me for six anniversary sets! I gave away a few, have used one and decided to keep the last set for back-up, just in case anything happened to my used set! This is just one of the images from this set, stamped in several colors. The clear dot embellishments I purchased on eBay but cannot remember what they are called...if you know, please email me, as I'd love to purchase these in more colors. :)

Happy Anniversary to my DH!

A quick post to share an anniversary card I made last month for DH, celebrating our 24th year together. I "borrowed" my design idea from from a Nichole Heady card here. I love how this turned out and my DH was very pleased as well. He still has it displayed on this bedside table :)
