PTI Make It Monday #107 Clear Cards

Hello friends!  Its me again, back with more iPhone photos- but for you I upped the ante and edited them (with the iPhone- hahaha!).  I decided to play along with papertrey ink's Make It Monday today.  The challenge was to create a clear card and do a little copic coloring.  It sounded easy enough even though I have never been a big fan of the clear card- simply too much work in my opinion and hard to photograph on top of all that.  Here is what I came up with:

The straight on shot- you can see I artfully arranged it on top of my tower of ink pads and chose two random coordinating pieces of paper for the background.  The stamp set used is flower garden with the sentiment from the latest birthday set.  I used memento black and winter wisteria ink.

A little peek at the inside.  Since its a clear card I was forced did up the inside too.  Same two stamp sets, winter wisteria ink.  Everything held together with my ATG.  Thanks for stopping in today.  If you want me to cry happy tears (instead of loud pitiful sobs into my pillow) leave me some love in the comments!

PTI Make It Monday- Glitter Accents

Hello friends!  It appears I am on a roll- three days, three posts- perhaps the secret is my iphone photos.  No editing and no uploading saves on time.  I can go straight from my phone to flickr to my blog.  I sacrifice quality but well at least I have something to show right?

Here is today's card in all its unedited glory, LOL.  I made the glitter accents using PTI's star border die.  The stamps are from their new birthday sentiment set that was released last month.  I am using Aqua Mist paper with Hawaiian Shores Ink.  The glitter is WOW from American crafts.  I just picked up a huge pack (like over 20 bottles of glitter) at Tuesday Morning for the bargain price of 14 bucks.  I will never be able to use all that glitter!  Thanks for stopping in today and if you would like to see the rest of PTI's Make It Monday entries just click here.

Make It Monday #99

Hello friends!  Today I have a card for you from PTI's Make It Monday Challenge.  You can find the details of the challenge here.  The idea today was to use rainbows and repeats.  I chose to use color scheme #6- Summer Sunrise, Limeaid Ice, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz.

I chose to use Little Birdie and Little Birdie Additions for my card.  I also used a sentiment and music notes from Birds of a Feather.  The squiggly line is from Little Birdie.  I just love a clean and simple challenge!  Thanks for stopping by!

MIM #98 Chalkboard Technique

Hello friends!  Happy New Year to you all!  I hope 2013 is treating you right!  So far so good here- I am still on Winter Break from work and enjoying the last little bit of free time.  This week I decided to participate in PTI's Make it Monday (MIM).  This week they were teaching the chalkboard technique.  You can see all the details here.

 

 Here is my entry. This is the first time I have attempted the chalk board technique.  I used PTI's Hello Sunshine stamp set.  The flourishes are from the Mat Stack Collection.  I used Summer Sunrise and Fresh Snow inks as well as white embossing powder.  I also used colored pencils.  Cardstock is white and true black.

Make It Monday

Hey there friends! Its Monday, I have no work until... well the point is I have no work! So today I got busy on the new Make It Monday over at Papertrey Ink. Details are here. Today Betsy V. showed us how to mask off sentiments. This is something I already knew but its always fun. I don't use post its- I use eclipse masking tape. I love that stuff. So worth the money. My LSS carries it in several widths.
I used Guidelines 1 and Movers and Shakers.  I masked off the border and the sentiment box.  I was going to draw lines like Betsy did but my pen did not match the ink color very well and I liked it like this.  A true one layer card with one kind of ink and paper.  CRAZY!  LOL

Make It Monday- Rolled Flowers

Well hello again!  I finished all my chores, I ran, and I have been to work (on my own dime) and I made a card!  Wow productive morning for once.  This is for PTI's Make It Monday.  Today's challenge was making rolled felt flowers using their background dies.  I used one of the two rolls of felt I own- felt freaks me out.  I do not like the way it feels at all.  I ran it through my cuttlebug using the circle border die and the large scallop die.  The inner part of the flower is made with half of the circle border.  The outer part is the large scallop.  I used score tape to hold it all together.  Underneath are some lovely ribbon leaves atop a ribbon border.  The back ground used triangle tranquility.  Rustic cream base with kraft ink.

Make It Monday- Glitter Die Cuts

Hello Friends! I have a Make It Monday entry for you today. You can find all the MIM details here. Apparently the only way I can get a MIM done is if I actually do it and take pictures of it on Monday! I still have last weeks MIM half done on my desk. Oh well.
I got my PTI order today.  Yes I am weak.  I had to have the new color (which is a purple-not on this card).  Since I was ordering I picked up Maile Belles new set, Trendy Trees.  The patterned paper here is from Echo Park and Pink Paisley.
 
The glittered portion is the top of the tree.  I do not own a Xyron so I used score tape before I cut the topper.  Then I peeled off the tape and added all the glitter.
 
One more shot.  Hard to see the glitter here, but its very sparkly in real life.

Halloween Make It Monday

Hello friends! Its Make It Monday over at Papertrey ink. Today's challenge was making your own background paper, which just happens to be something I love to do, so I decided to play along.  My background paper is made with the little characters from Tiny Treat Halloween.  The little stars are from Star Prints and Love Lives Here Christmas.  I colored with my copics, just quickly, it really didn't take very long.  Next I stamped the big Mat Stack 4 in Virdian Leaf green.  I added the little Jack O Lantern and the sentiment.  To get the green mat I traced around my Mat Stack die and then hand cut with scissors, not as easy as die cutting but it gets the job done.  Thanks for stopping in today!  Happy Halloween!

Make It Monday- Make Your Own Washi Tape

Well I am back! Sooner than I thought too, probably because of this Make It Monday, from Papertrey Ink. Nichole Heady had this genius idea to make your own Washi tape. Check out all the details here.  It was so simple and easy.  I was totally wishing I had some fatter scor tape.  I used the 1/2 inch tape on my card.  I stamped with with the diamonds from A Little Argyle.  The sentiment is from the Mat Stack 2 Collection.  The underlayer is the Mat Stack 2 Layerz (can I just say that I hate Layers spelled with a z.  Its completely tacky.  Thank you for hearing my rant.) stamped with the diamonds from A Little Argyle.  Ink colors are Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Raspberry Fizz, and Color Box Lime Pastel.  All products Papertrey Ink, unless otherwise noted.

Make It Monday: Edger Pockets

Hi there! Today I have a card for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge. You can find all the details here.

I have a ripe avocado card base. I made the pocket out of spring moss. I used the edger on both edges of the pocket. This is edger #1. I poked some holes with my paper piercer and sewed the pocket together with some twine. The pocket is stamped in avocado ink using stamps from Beyond Borders. I added some melon berry ribbon and buttons to finish it off.

The tag is made from Simple Chartreuse cardstock. Its stamped with stamps from Floral fusion. The white flower is from MM. Thanks for stopping by today! I will be back tomorrow with some new Shady Tree Studio.

Make It Monday: Hand Drawn Frames

Hi there! Yes, can you believe it? Another on time entry for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday challenge. You can find all the details and the video here.

This first card is my favorite. It was my second attempt. I used Turning a New Leaf, Beautiful Blooms 2, and Floral Fusion.

This is my second favorite. It uses Butterfly Dreams and a sentiment from one of the many fillable frames.

This was my first attempt and while I like enough to give to someone, I dont care for the weird ink effect on the leaves. I wish they were more solid looking. I actually find drawing frames fairly easy but its not something I do a whole lot of.

Make It Monday: Frog with Circles

Well could it be a Make It Monday card that is actually posted by the deadline? I can't believe it myself. This week's challenge was to emboss with PTI dies. I just got the simple circle die in the mail yesterday! I embossed it on this lovely kraft card and then stamped the circles with a coordinating Simple circle stamp set. I die cut an arch with some hawaiian shores cardstock and also die cut the frog and lily pad. The frog and lily pad got the copic treatment. The sentiment is from Sending You. All supplies are PTI except for the buttons, those are from Doodlebug.

Make It Monday Challenge #2

Hi Bloggy Friends! Have you been by Papertrey Ink recently? They are having a new weekly challenge called, Make It Monday. First you watch the little video and get all inspired, then you make up a cute card that answers the challenge. You can win a free set of stamps! I tried to enter last week but... although the card got done- the pictures never did! Story of my life lately- day late and a dollar short. But I digress....
For this card I used YOF, Rose. I stamped it on white in memento black ink. I colored it with my copic markers (RV11, RV 13, RV 14) I stamped some leaves and colored those too (YG03, YG 14). I cut out everything and then made a vellum strip (this was the main part of the challenge- use a vellum strip) for the sentiment. I adhered it all together and there ya go! Thanks for stopping in!
