One Card 4 Ways

Hello!  Happy New Year's Eve!  Its the last post of 2012!  I had a little crafty time the other day and I ended up using the same image 4 ways.  I snapped some photos and thats what I have for you this evening.  For all versions I am using PTI cardstock in white and blueberry sky.  I am using versamark ink, white embossing powder, blueberry sky ink, and pure poppy ink.  The image is from PTI Through the Trees.  The tag is from hero arts.  The sentiment is from PTI Through the Trees.

 

Version One:  For version one I matted the image on white card and rounded the corners.  I adhered the tag to the bottom of the image.  I wrapped the twine (Crate and Barrel) around the card several times and tied a bow.  I added red stickles to the bird.  I used red bling on the flowers (hard to see the red in these pics- sorry I am no photographer).

  

Version Two:  I broke the rule of three by only having one red thing (the bird).  I covered the bird in stickles.  I added blue bling at the bottom.

  

Version Three:  I used my snowflake CB folder on the base.  I added blueberry sky grosgrain ribbon and red buttons.  I covered the bird in stickles.

  

 Version Four:  I think this may be my favorite.  I used swiss dot CB folder on the base.  I rounded the base corners and also the blue corners.  I covered the bird in stickles and added stickles to the flower centers.  I used saddle stitch pure poppy ribbon.

Well what do you think?  Which is your favorite?  I have to say since I did all the stamping first and embossed all at once these came together very quickly.  Might make a nice giftset.  All you would need is a little box or something.  Thanks as always for stopping by!  I hope 2013 is good to you!

Masculine Thank You

Well at least I think its a masculine thank you. I sent it to a man, so hopefully he wasn't thinking it was a frilly girl card. I wanted to put ribbon on it but instead settled for twine. All products are from Papertrey Ink. The stamp sets are Inside and Out: thank you and Through the Trees.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Its summer so we have been traveling off and on. My kids are out of school so I have been taking them places and hanging out with them. I really haven't done a whole lot of crafting lately. I did, however, upload quite a few pics today so I should have some blog fodder this week. As always, thanks for stopping by!

Red Bird Tag

I love this tag! I totally CASED the tree and bird from this card by the talented Susan. It was a super easy tag to make. I started with the single tree from Through the Trees (PTI). I stamped it in Versamark and then embossed it in seafoam white. I added the bird and sentiment (Tiny Treats, PTI) with pure poppy ink. Next came a snippet of PTI white velvet ribbon, a pure poppy button, and some Martha Stewart red bakers twine. The whole thing is done up on a spring rain tag, made using PTI's tag die #2. Thanks for stopping in today!

Button Frame

Made this last week. I used all PTI product. Stamp set is Through the Trees. Colors are Kraft, Fresh snow, and Terracotta Tile. Thanks for stopping by!

Trees

Hi there! Today I have a tree birthday card for you. The tree is from PTI's Through the Trees. I double stamped the leaves, trying for an "artsy" effect, LOL... maybe it just looks like I mistamped it? I added a row of button grass and a sentiment underneath. The image is on Kraft, mounted on Avocado and then mounted on Dark Chocolate. Well I am off to work... thanks for stopping by!

Through the Trees

I had to have this stamp set, its so pretty! Of course now I havent had any time to use it! I made this on Thursday night, it was late, which is why the picture is not the best. I admire those of you who can photograph late at night and make it look good. I used Terracotta tile as the base. I stamped on Kraft with Versamark and embossed ep white (I think thats what it is called...) The birds were stamped on terracotta and cut out (not easy people!). A little ribbon pulls it together! Have a fab weekend!
