PTI Create Along With Us: June 2017

Oh my, another great release by Papertrey Ink and so much inspiration again this month! Our challenge the week of release time is to select a project that inspires us to create something similar in design, technique and/or color scheme using older products we already own. It's challenging in itself to decide on an inspiration piece because they are all glorious. This month I chose one by Wanda that you can see here.




She used the new Textile Impressions, but the only set I own with something similar is Sketched Shapes. Since I had no idea what design to use for a 60th wedding anniversary, I went with this. Isn't that something worth celebrating?

On the same day we celebrate a milestone anniversary, we have a Celebration of Life to attend. Another friend lost his battle to cancer. Anyway, based on Dawn's card below, I went with a similar design and a different color scheme.

Here's my sympathy card. I'm patiently waiting for this month's release order to get To The Point Edger Dies in my hot little hands. 

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

PTI 7th Anniversary ~ Day 5 (Birthday Card Challenge)

Happy Birthday to Papertrey Ink for seven amazing years in business! Today's challenge here is to create a birthday card to be mailed to PTI's warehouse staff to brighten their days while working hard to keep us happy. Because I liked this card so much, I decided to recreate it using a different color combination and sentiment. Since I know this has been a pretty harsh winter in Ohio, I'm hoping to send Spring their way.

I rarely stamp the inside of my cards (mainly because I'm always in a hurry to either mail it or get creating my next card), but this is for a special occasion for extra-special people. 

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Rustic Cream

Ink: Hawaiian Shores, Simply Chartreuse and Harvest Gold

Stamps: Boutique Borders: Birthday, Lovely Layers, Birthday Style, Big Birthday Wishes and Studio Calico's Napa Valley Numbers

Dies: Lovely Layers

Other: Harvest Gold button, Hemp Cord (from stash) and foam mounting tape (3M)

PTI Make It Monday #124: Dressed Up Envelopes

I know, I know ~ it's Sunday night and here I am again just posting my creation for this week's Make It Monday. Believe it or not, I made this birthday card last night but still needed to make the envelope today. Melissa showed us the steps she took to dress up her envelope, but mine isn't quite so fancy. After all, it's for our godchild in honor of his second birthday.  Since I need to mail it, I wanted to keep the envelope to one layer.

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: New Leaf, SU Real Red, White

Ink: SU Green Galore & SU Tempting Turquoise (+ Harvest Gold & SU Real Red for envelope)

Stamps:SU Birthday Whimsy (+ Framed Out #12, Star Prints & Studio Calico Napa Valley  for envelope)

Dies: By The Number & Fabulous Frames

Other: Star patterned paper & foam mounting tape (stash)
