PTI July 2013 Blog Hop (Card #1)

Nichole was kind enough to give us several different Fruits of Summer Color Inspiration for this month's Blog Hop. My first card uses these colors:
Fruits-of-Summer-2

Since I was in need of thank-you cards, that's what I've created. 


Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)
Cardstock: SU Groovy Guava, SU Summer Sun, Harvest Gold, New Leaf & White
Ink: VersaMark, Harvest Gold, New Leaf & SU Groovy Guava
Stamps: Sending A Big Thank You, Rosie Posie & Rosie Posie Step 2
Dies: Fabulous Frames & Rosie Posie
Other: Green sequins, SU dimensionals & Zing Metallic Green Embossing Powder


PTI July 2013 Blog Hop (Card #4)

While my DH was painting the exterior of our house, I spent much-needed time in my stamping room. That explains why I've been on a roll lately because I'm way behind on thank-you cards. My card uses another of Nichole's Fruits of Summer Color Inspiration from July's Blog Hop.

Fruits-of-Summer-6

My "Thank You for your Kindness" card was created by stamping several flowers in the colors above to design my own background paper. I cut it in two pieces and adhered them to my card base using foam mounting tape. Once again I had to use some color substitutes. 


Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)
Cardstock: Stamper's Select White
Ink: SU Pumpkin Pie, SU Summer Sun, SU Regal Rose, SU Baroque Burgundy & SU Groovy Guava
Stamps: Beautiful Blooms II, Iconic Images
Other: Linen/Canvas Impression Plate, glitter, SU Baroque Burgundy marker, Glossy Accents & foam mounting tape

PTI July 2013 Blog Hop (Card #3)

Just had to try another one of Nichole's Fruits of Summer Color Inspiration for July's Blog Hop. I had to substitute because I don't have all of PTI's inks and cardstock…yet.

Fruits-of-Summer-4

Summer brings lots of social events so I'm due to send some more thank-you notes. Hence, this card came to life. 


Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Ink: SU Pink Passion, SU Regal Rose & SU Green Galore
Stamps: Background Basics: Super Stripes
Dies: Block Alphabet
Other: Felt, sequins & SU Pink Passion & Green Galore markers, SU color spritzer tool, corner rounder punch


PTI July 2013 Blog Hop (Card #2)

My second attempt is based on another of Nichole's Fruits of Summer Color Inspiration for July's Blog Hop.
Fruits-of-Summer-3

This one is a fun birthday card that I'm also entering in the Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

PTI Make It Monday #124: Dressed Up Envelopes

I know, I know ~ it's Sunday night and here I am again just posting my creation for this week's Make It Monday. Believe it or not, I made this birthday card last night but still needed to make the envelope today. Melissa showed us the steps she took to dress up her envelope, but mine isn't quite so fancy. After all, it's for our godchild in honor of his second birthday.  Since I need to mail it, I wanted to keep the envelope to one layer.



Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)
Cardstock: New Leaf, SU Real Red, White
Ink: SU Green Galore & SU Tempting Turquoise (+ Harvest Gold & SU Real Red for envelope)
Stamps:SU Birthday Whimsy (+ Framed Out #12, Star Prints & Studio Calico Napa Valley  for envelope)
Dies: By The Number & Fabulous Frames
Other: Star patterned paper & foam mounting tape (stash)
