PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favorites (Favorite Shaped Card)

This week at Papertrey Ink the Win It Wednesday Challenge from Laurie is to create a project using a shaped card base. 

She had me thinking all week of what else I could use besides my new Scallop Stackers: Medium Die. Well, after two attempts trying to use my Noted: Scalloped A2 Die (full-size A2 one pass) in my Big Shot and failing, I resorted to the lovely stacker. Always in need of birthday cards, here's what I ended up creating.

PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favorites (Favorite Coloring Technique)

I've been visiting family for Easter this week in Northern MN so squeezing this in before the deadline looms early tomorrow morning. My card is an entry for Laurie's Fabulous Favorites for Papertrey Ink. You can also see more details of her beautiful card on her blog post here. Laurie challenged us to try our hand at our favorite coloring technique. 

There are so many different options these days, but I went with ink blending on card stock and the underside of vellum for this sympathy card. Without further ado (so I can get to bed after being up 20 hours), here's my card.

PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favorites (Favorite Style)

This week for Papertrey Ink's Win It Wednesday Challenge Laurie is sharing her favorite style. She's a modified shabby chic kind of gal. Me, I'm more like clean and simple using a few stamps and die cuts with nothing too unusual. 

Believe it or not, I had to mail four sympathy cards yesterday. Even though I could have made four of the same card, I opted to create different ones. This card is very typical of my style.

PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week (Favorite Inspiration Source)

Another challenge up at Papertrey Ink with Laurie, and you can see her floral inspiration and gorgeous card on either site. This week we were allowed to choose our favorite inspiration source. I'm not sure Pinterest is my favorite source, but since I've pinned several things it works for me. It's easy to get inspiration just about anywhere though. On with my card and inspiration. 

Here's the beautiful bedspread that inspired me this time. 

My Raspberry Fizz ink wasn't exactly the right shade, but you get the idea. Here's my creation!

PTI's Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 8 (MIM Option)

Papertrey's Win It Wednesday this week includes Laurie's Fabulous Favorites which challenges us to create a project inspired by an old Make It Monday video. Ironically, I chose MIM #312: Framing Sentiments and Images, which was initially showcased by Laurie in February 2018. That gal is truly an inspiration to me as I love her style!

My card uses new-to-me Give Love, which I initally purchased without the dies because they were Out of Stock. However, they should be at my door within the next week or so. I'm not excited about fussy cutting when there's a much easier way. Here's another birthday card perfect for Spring, and I framed the sentiment and images. The framed background was ink smooshed.
