Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - January '19

Happy Friday!

I have a card for the January Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! I have not participated in the blog hop for a very long time. I was organizing my studio over the holidays and while going through some of my stamps I realized that I had so many Papertrey stamps sets that I bought because I adored them--so no better time to use them!

I took my inspiration from the colours in the photo and used one of my favourite sets ever--Cutting Garden.  I stamped some details from Fancy Flourishes in my background and a sentiment from Grateful Greetings. The card was finished off with some clear sequins filled with silver Stickles and a generous coating of the ever so elusive clear 'Wink of Stella'. I tried to capture it in my photos but I think it is going to be the recipient that gets to enjoy it!

A closer look at the layering...





Looking forward to hopping along, the gallery looks beautiful so far!





I think it's safe to say that everyone is having a chilly day. We woke to a wild snowstorm here this morning and this afternoon the sky is blue and the sun is shining but the winds are strong and it is only -21 C with the wind chill, that is -6 F. Staying in seems like a good idea!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - May '15

I have a card for the May Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

Inspired by the colours I came up with a quick thank you card using the Wet Paint stamp set, the sentiments fit on the card front perfectly. Quick and easy.  Enjoy the hop!

RetroSketches #162 and Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop

Happy Saturday!

Today's card is for both RetroSketches and the April Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

I inked up for the first time my Papertrey Ink Retro Style Graduation and Birthday Sentiments Stamps and Dies. I chose to use the colours from the Papertrey Ink mood board using this week's new RetroSketches sketch!

I am up to my eyeballs in preparations for a bridal shower Brooklyn and I are having for my nephew's fiance on Sunday. I will definitely say thank you to Pinterest from providing me with loads of fantastic ideas. As much as we do not like the way that teachers' strikes impact our children, I will say that Brooklyn has been an invaluable help to me this week that she was off school because of the strike. For that I did not mind waiting in the store for an hour yesterday while she tried on a purse--trying to decide between brown or coral! Do you want to know which one she picked?

I think a good choice!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop January '15

It's the 25th of January already and time for this month's Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop!

I have not hopped in a long time but this month I could not resist the theme. The jingle bells have been put away for this year and now it is all about hearts. We were asked to make a 'heartfelt' Valentines card decorating both inside and out.

I ordered some new PTI Valentines sets and dies in December and had it delivered to my hubby. It arrived the day after he came home for Christmas, so long story short my December PTI is flying home with him this week.  In the meantime I pulled out some older sets to play with for the Blog Hop.

I created the dimensional heart by stamping the heart from With All My Heart in both red and Hibiscus Burst and then cut out the Be Mine and tiny tag, then adhered it to the red heart with foam tape. I added a few tiny heart and a flourish to finish out the front.




The inside is stamped with a quote from Sending My Love...

I am also submitting this to the Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge Have a Heart!

Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Welcome Trendy Twine to my blog.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - September '14

Sneaking in at the last minute with a card for this month's Papertery Ink Blog Hop. I haven't played in a few months and didn't want another month to pass by. Sometimes it feels good to just make a card because we feel like it, no deadline pressure just because.  As much as I am sorry to see the end of summer (we did have one right?) there is nothing like argyle to make you think of cozy sweaters. I used one of the colour palettes and one of the sketches provided for my card. I am also submitting this to this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

Hope you enjoyed the hop!

Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop

<


Can you believe that we are already at the May Papertrey Ink Blog Hop?
I am sure that Christmas was just yesterday!

This month the theme is to create a project using the colours aqua and melon. I decided to play around with a bit of watercolouring for the hop today.  I put some ink from my ink pads on to my craft mat and spritzed the ink with a bit of water.  Then I picked up the watered down ink with my stamps.  The sentiment was stamped directly with ink.  I wish the camera was kinder to my photo because the colours are beautiful in real life.





Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - March '14

A card for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

The theme this month was to add high gloss to your creations.  So I pulled out Sketched Scribbles and created a card base with some spring colours and then I die cut Wonderful Words Hello 5 times to create a dimensional accent.  The first four in white and the top hello is orange foil.

Here is a close up of the hello die cut.

Happy hopping!
