PTI Create Along With Us Challenge: September 2018

Had another busy week besides following along with Papertrey Ink's September Release. I'm only nine days away from my Boston trip with four girlfriends so we've been busy finalizing our plans. And good Lord willing, we'll get our new bridge installed this week!

Anyway, during Release Week PTI's Challenge is to create our own version of a card posted by a DT member that inspired us. Oh, how I wish I had more time to create now because there are so many awesome designs…and I love Christmas-related anything! This month I chose a card created by Heather showcasing her new Winter Fox set, and yes, she used Kraft card stock. I did, too. 

Good thing I ordered more on Release Night because now I just have scraps left. Here's my take using supplies on hand. 

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

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted):

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, Kraft and Ripe Avocado

Ink: VersaMark and Dark Chocolate

Stamps: Stylish Sentiments: Holiday, In The Meadow and MIM Mini Kit: Holiday Folk

Dies: Hello Sunshine and MIM Mini Kit: Holiday Folk

Other: Birch Bark Wrapping Paper, Red Berry Nuvo Crystal Drops, SU Markers, Pearl Metallic DMC and SU Dimensionals

PTI Create Along With Us Challenge December 2017

Let's just say I'm still not done with Christmas cards, because I still have a few more people who would be disappointed with a store-bought card. However, that doesn't stop me from following this month's release and all the beautiful inspiration by Papertrey Ink's Design Team. You can see more on their new blog here. Details for this month's challenge can be found here where we are challenged to create our own version of something one of the designers shared during release week. 

On Day 4 of the release, Keeway blew me away with her sweet Valentine and colorful die-cut windows. 

However, I don't own the Fun Lovin' stamps and dies yet so I pulled out my Make It Market Mini Kit: Holiday Folk. Trust me when I tell you this wasn't that easy even using my MISTI. I need more practice and note to self: don't try this again when in a hurry. (lol) And, I'm definitely not going to mass produce this one either!

Thanks for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments.

PTI MIM #300: Build-A-Wreath

It was Melissa's turn to enlighten us with her talents and challenge us to build a wreath. Believe it or not, my wreath supplies are somewhat limited but I opted to use the one from Make It Market Mini Kit: Lovely Laurels. That's the beginning of my card for this week's Make It Monday Challenge at Papertrey Ink. Even though I didn't add all the extras Melissa did, I'm pretty pleased with my results. Another Christmas card added to my stash ~ yay!
