PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 7 (Color Combination)

This week Laurie challenged us to use our favorite color combination on a project for her Fabulous Favorites Challenge at Papertrey Ink. You can see her beautiful card here using Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal, Harvest Gold and Enchanted Evening. Can't wait to try that combo myself!

She has also inspired me to create a swatch ring of PTI card stocks to select new color combinations. Hopefully I'll get that accomplished this week. For now, here's my sympathy card for my cousin and his wife who just lost her mother. I wanted it bright and cheerful because that was her mother's personality. 

Thank you for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments!

PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 6 (Favorite Sentiment Stamp or Die)

Another favorite of Laurie's is her sentiments. This week she challenged us to use our favorite sentiment stamp or die. You can see her card and the details on Papertrey Ink's Blog.  My focal point of my card is Big Basics: Wish Big, especially because I need more birthday cards in my stash. 

Did anyone notice that I used patterned paper that I've been hoarding? Why do we do this? It's time to use it and make some quick cards (well, quicker than if I had to stamp everything). 

Edited to Add: Also entering Hero Arts National Craft Month Challenge with ombré ink blending on this birthday card!

PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 5 (Packaging)

This week Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Challenge is to create packaging using Papertrey Ink products. Believe it or not, my entire stash doesn't include any actual packaging dies so I used Noted: Pinked A2 Vertical Dies to create my own package. Keeping it simple but hopefully getting my point across wishing someone good health and gifting them some tea!

In the photo below, you can see the tea packet that fits perfectly inside this package with a flat, stand-up bottom.
