CASology Week 162: Write

For the first time ever, I am entering the challenge at CASology, which is to interpret the cue word below any way it inspires me.

Digging through my stamps and dies, I found something that I thought would work. Here's my card. 

Supplies: 

Cardstock: SU Going Gray, PTI Soft Stone and Stamper's Select White

Ink: VersaMark, PTI Hibiscus Burst, Smokey Shadow, Summer Sunrise and SU Ruby Red Marker

Stamps: Paper Smooches I Heart Art and PTI Polka Dot Basics II

Dies: PTI Monthly Moments Spiral Notebook

Other: Foam Tape and Glossy Accents

PTI 2014 Anniversary ~ Day 4 (ATC Trading Cards)

Day 4 anniversary festivities at Papertrey Ink are all about Monthly Moments and included the challenge of creating 3x4" trading cards that could be used in scrapbooking or card making. Sure wish I had a TV in my stamping room so I could multitask while watching the Sochi Olympics. Otherwise, I'm not much for television and would rather be stamping. Here are my two ATC cards, which are pretty simple but fun.

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: White, Aqua Mist and SU Purely Pomegranate

Ink: Hawaiian Shores and SU Purely Pomegranate

Stamps: Boutique Borders: Valentine and Trendy Tree Tops

Other: 1-3/8" circle punch, scallop circle punch and scallop edge punch (EK Success)

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: White and SU Bravo Burgundy

Ink: SU Regal Rose and SU Bravo Burgundy

Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II

Other: Heart Punch (EK Success) as negative die-cut and Pinking Shears (sewing cabinet)

PTI MIM #151: Drop Shadow Die Cuts

Betsy Veldman showed us how to double cut our dies and offset the layers to create some depth for PTI's Make It Monday here.

Since I needed another teen birthday card for another young man, I chose the "happy" die from Pretty Peonies, the numbers from By The Numbers dies and the "th" using Block Alphabet dies. My card base of SU's basic gray was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and PTI's Polka Dot Basics II and corners rounded. A Basic Black layer was then covered with Soft Stone embossed with the Woodgrain Impression Plate. For "Happy" and "th" I used the same two colors but alternated them: Aqua Mist and Ocean Tides and stamped the design on the bottom layers using Ocean Tides ink. The "13" was die cut using SU Bravo Burgundy and Soft Stone with a design from Half & Half stamped in Bravo Burgundy on the bottom layer and popped up using SU dimensionals. For the finishing touch I punched three small stars from Basic Black and added Glossy Accents to make them shine.

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Soft Stone, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist, White, Black, SU Basic Gray & SU Bravo Burgundy

Ink: Ocean Tides, Memento Tuxedo Black and SU Bravo Burgundy

Stamps: Pretty Peonies and Half & Half

Dies: By The Numbers, Block Alphabet and Pretty Peonies

Other: Corner Rounder, small star punch, Glossy Accents and SU dimensionals

PTI May 2013 Blog Hop

The challenge this month for Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop is to use the coordinating colors of one of the Bouquet Builders to create a floral card. I chose the orange one mainly because I had substitutes for those PTI colors I don't own…yet:

For something a little different I decided to use the Half and Half die upside down (is there really a right side up), and embossed my sentiment using white embossing powder. The Harvest Gold background texture is PTI's canvas/linen impression plate, and the flower center is the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder from Sizzix. A tiny clear rhinestone is attached to the orange sequin to finish it off.
