PTI MIM #228: Pearlized Blending

Can you believe I owned a package of Perfect Pearls but never opened them? To be honest, I hadn't checked to even see how to use them. Thanks, Lizzie, for sharing your talents with us for this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday. Now I know how to add pearlized ink blending to my cards, as you'll see on today's card.



Lizzie's video was so detailed telling us step-by-step what supplies to use and how to achieve results. My card base is Stamper's Select White, which was masked using a die cut from Fabulous Frames so I could work the magic of pearlized ink blending. After stamping Fancy Flourishes using VersaMark ink and clear embossing those flourishes, I blended Spring Rain and Blueberry Sky. Smooshing my sponge into my VersaMark ink pad, I then very thoroughly dapped it over my inked area still leaving my mask in place. Once done with that, I sprinkled that area with Confetti White Perfect Pearls and worked it around with a paint brush. Using a dry paper towel, I then wiped off the excess. That was pretty magical as you can see the shine above. 

I die cut Fabulous Frames again in Soft Stone and Sheer Basics Vellum polka dots. My Simply Chartreuse trees are from Jolly Holiday and stamped using Pinfeather ink. "Joy" from Wet Paint Holiday was cut from glittered paper from Joann Fabric. The frame was popped up using SU dimensional. Eager to see what others have created using this technique. Happy November!

Papertrey Ink's 8th Anniversary Spring Into Action (Day 5)

Since we're all looking forward to Spring, PTI wants us to "spring" into action and use a stamp set from our collection that hasn't seen ink…or hasn't been used enough. Don't even ask how many sets I "had to have" but yet I've only used one stamp from each set. Today's card uses stamps from two different seldom-used sets. Looks like the number of entries each day is increasing so I won't keep you. Hope you're having a great Monday ~ here's my card.




The vellum was die cut using Take Three, which is just a tad bigger than the opening of Framed Out #12. Embossed the sentiment in white and stamped the frame using Sweet Blush ink. The Berry Sorbet panels stamped using VersaMark and Fancy Flourishes were attached with SU dimentionals to the Bitty Dot paper for added dimension. Added some sequins for a little bling.

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, Vellum, Berry Sorbet and Berry Sorbet Bitty Dot
Ink: Sweet Blush and VersaMark 
Stamps: Framed Out #12 and Fancy Flourishes
Dies: Framed Out #12 and Take Three
Other: White Embossing Powder, Sequins (stash) and SU Dimensionals

PTI 7th Anniversary ~ Day 6 (Word Images)

Today's challenge here was to create a project using a large word as the focal point using word dies, word  stamps, alphabet dies or alphabet stamps. Since I still need several birthday cards for this month, that's what I made using Wonderful Words: Birthday and designed around that die.  Here it is, and I have to admit I kind of like it. Hope my friend does too!


Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)
Cardstock: Kraft, SU Bravo Burgundy, SU Pretty in Pink and SU Rose Red
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and VersaMark
Stamps: Half & Half and Fancy Flourishes
Dies: Wonderful Words: Birthday and Half & Half
Other: Black enamel dots (Michaels)

PTI MIM #148: Generation Stamping with Line Images & Multiple Colors

Dawn McVey shows us generational stamping with a twist for this week's Make It Monday Challenge. My biggest challenge was finding line image stamps that would work for this technique. I chose Fancy Flourishes and use three different shades of purple. Here's what it looks like:


Adhered to a white card base are left-over frames from Tipped Tops Dies in Winter Wisteria and Elegant Eggplant overlapping them. I thought the Fancy Flourish filled the corner nicely. Finished it off with a sentiment from Half & Half, three sequins and splatters of ink (which you can see better if you enlarge the photo).


Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)
Cardstock: Stamper's Select, Winter Wisteria and SU Elegant Eggplant
Ink: WInter Wisteria, SU Lavender Lace and SU Elegant Eggplant
Stamps: Half & Half and Fancy Flourishes
Dies: Tipped Tops
Other: Sequins (Joann's) and SU Lavender Lace marker with misting tool (can't remember name)
