PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 6 (Favorite Sentiment Stamp or Die)

Another favorite of Laurie's is her sentiments. This week she challenged us to use our favorite sentiment stamp or die. You can see her card and the details on Papertrey Ink's Blog.  My focal point of my card is Big Basics: Wish Big, especially because I need more birthday cards in my stash. 

Did anyone notice that I used patterned paper that I've been hoarding? Why do we do this? It's time to use it and make some quick cards (well, quicker than if I had to stamp everything). 

Edited to Add: Also entering Hero Arts National Craft Month Challenge with ombré ink blending on this birthday card!

PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 5 (Packaging)

This week Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Challenge is to create packaging using Papertrey Ink products. Believe it or not, my entire stash doesn't include any actual packaging dies so I used Noted: Pinked A2 Vertical Dies to create my own package. Keeping it simple but hopefully getting my point across wishing someone good health and gifting them some tea!

In the photo below, you can see the tea packet that fits perfectly inside this package with a flat, stand-up bottom.

For my card, I combined ideas from Michelle's card for this week's IG Challenge as well as Laurie's Fabulous Favorites. Here's my birthday card.

PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 2

Time for the second week of Win It Wednesday where Laurie shares her favorite card stock colors. Surprise, surprise! She used Pure Poppy and Aqua Mist and created the same card design twice, using each color. Beautifully done, Laurie!

It truly is difficult to choose one or even two favorite PTI card stock colors because I like them all. First colors that came to mind for me (at least today) are Amethyst Allure and New Leaf.  It's almost the end of February and time for my DH's aunt to celebrate her 101st birthday. She was widowed many years ago, still lives independently and is an amazing woman. Hope she likes the heart and added bling!

PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites

So, between losing my stamping mojo and living in a whole different world with our wintry weather, DH and I have been working on jigsaw puzzles. So, needless to say, I haven't spent much time in my stamping room. However, I'm desperately in need of rebuilding my stash so started with a birthday card, that qualifies for any age or gender. Score!

For this week's Papertrey Ink Win It Wednesday, Laurie challenges us to use a favorite stamp set. My choice today is CELEBRATE BIG.

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).
