PTI SAF 2015: Mix + Match and Threads Challenges

Continuing on creating for PTI's Stamp-A-Faire event, my second card combines the Mix + Match and Threads Challenges. Mixing Patterns by Betsy Veldman and Twine Techniques by Danielle Flanders inspired me to break out my new Triangle Trio Die. Betsy showed us how to use at least three different patterned papers considering small, medium and large designs and cutting the paper to coincide with those same sizes. Danielle showed us 10 different ways to use twine on our projects. Here's what I created. 

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White and Studio Calico Here & There Collection

Ink: VersaMark and Dark Chocolate

Stamps: Stylish Sentiments: Birthday

Dies: Triangle Trio and Celebrations

Other: Button, Darice Hemp Cord, Vellum Runner, Glue Dots and Clear Embossing Powder

PTI MIM #212: Fussy Cutting Tips

Ashley showed us fussy cutting tips here for those sentiments and images that don't have coordinating dies. That is this week's challenge for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge. Since I'm needing a couple of high school graduation cards, I decided to incorporate this technique. Hope to find time to do this again once I have my stamp room back in order (packing it up so we're ready for our new flooring installation next week). Without further ado, here's my card.

I curved the sentiment from Celebrations and fussy cut it from Soft Stone card stock and then cut again from Black Tie glitter paper. It was definitely easier to draw pencil lines before cutting.

Now you see the complete card, which is pretty self-explanatory. 

Here's what I did with the inside using Scarlet Jewel ink and VersaMark.
