Holiday cards: PTI Blog Hop

Welcome! I went a little crazy with all the beautiful color inspiration photos and created four cards! I had so much fun using new goodies and the great colors!





For this card, I used the Menorah Medley die to cut the Menorah into my cardfront. I stamped the sentiment and then impressed it with the Linen IP. I then also cut two more menorahs from Hawaiian Shores and Simply Chartreuse to use for the candles and flames.





I stamped the background of this card using BB:Super Stripes with Hawaiian Shores ink onto HS cardstock. I cute the square with the Limitless Layers: Square die and used Peace, Love and Joy to stamp the greeting in Hibiscus Burst ink.





This card has a background impression using Herringbone onto Ocean Tides cardstock. I cut the Star of David (from Menorah Medley dies) with Aqua Mist cardstock and adhered the matching circle behind, cut from Soft Stone.





The last card uses two impression plates: Herringbone for the Ripe Avocado cardstock and Peace Be Still for the Scarlet jewel portion. The image and sentiment, from In the Meadow, were stamped with A Muse ink onto Sweet Blush cardstock. A Sweet Blush satin ribbon was added.

Phew! Thanks for taking a look at my cards!

Merry Little Christmas

These are just the cutest new stamps! I got two new sets from Mama Elephant, and I love them!



I just Polar Pals to stamp the little penguin, which I colored with Copics. The snowglobe and sentiment come from Believe in the Magic. The background was impressed with a PTI plate.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for coming by!

Happy Halloween

I'm playing along with the Waltzingmouse Stamps' Blog Party for October. This month is a color challenge: to use purple, orange and black.



I stamped the plaid background using Faux Fun and the sentiment is from Say it Loud Winter.

It uses WMS's Festive Foliage and the sentiment comes from Compliments of the Season.

Hello

Hope you're having a great week! I made two cards recently with the same layout and elements. I just switched out the papers, colors and sentiments.





Those gorgeous buttons are from Neat and Tangled .

You're a good catch

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

I snuck a few minutes to make a card today, and used a new-to me set called "Fanfare" from Avery Elle. I also played along with the latest Retro Sketch .



I stamped the waves using an A Muse ink, and the little fish and sentiment are from PTI's Tiny Treats: Valentine.



Hope you're having a great weekend!

Happy birthday

I'm back with another card! On this one, I cut out the "Sofia" using my Cameo. I heat embossed the "happy birthday" (from Women of Life- PTI) before adhering the name.



I mixed and matched some papers on this one, and I'm not really sure which collections they are from! (Can you tell how organized my paper must be!?)

Thanks for looking!

Peace Love Joy

I got a Cameo!! I've been busy watching videos and playing around with all the possibilities!

Here's a card I made using it:



I cut out the white portion and then stamped the "peace" and "joy" using Waltzingmouse Stamps' Say it Loud- Winter set. It was then run through my cuttlebug with the PTI snowflake impression plate.
