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 MIM #349: Negative Die Cut Backgrounds

Once again it's time to try this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. Ashley showed us how she created a background using negative die cuts. I was at a loss for which dies to use because I don't own any that she recommended. After skimming through the thumbnails, I see a variety of ways stampers interpreted this challenge. This is what I created to encourage an acquaintance while she endures a year of chemo treatments for her breast cancer (second time around).

PTI Create Along With Us: October 2018

It was just Release Week at Papertrey Ink so we get to create our own version from DT examples. The most challenging part of this is deciding on which project to use as my inspiration. There were so many awesome ones, and who doesn't love anything to do with the Christmas Season. 

This time I chose a card created by Heather that looks like this. 

Obviously, I couldn't CASE this because I don't have any of the new products she used, but I used similar colors and did my best with what I do have. Yay for another completed Christmas card! 

To make it look more realistic, I topped the white snowfall with glitter glue and stacked my "peace" die-cuts three high for more dimension. If you enlarge the image, you'll see my polka-dot bow has a tiny white pearl in the center. And there you have it.
