PTI Anniversary Challenge

Hello Friends!  It's been a good long while.  I offer no excuses except to say my creative times are few and far between and teaching 7th grade is a 50 hour a week job.  Anyhow, its anniversary time over at Papertrey Ink.  They are celebrating 8 years in the business with lots of challenges and give aways.  This challenge can be found here.  The challenge was to build a bouquet using two or more floral sets.  I've got two floral sets here:  Birds and Blooms and Mini Blooms.  I used New Leaf, Harvest Gold, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal, Berry Sorbet, and Select White.  Everything else is pretty self explanatory.  Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by.

Hello There!

Hello Friends!  Another punched paper card for you today!  I used my circle punch and a tag die from PTI to complete this project.  The floral stamps are from Floral Fusion and Mini Blooms (both PTI).  The patterned paper is from that same Doodlebug pad I've been wearing out the last few days.  Finally got my money's worth from a 6x6 pad.

Enjoy!

Hello!  I have another quick little card for you today.  Stamps are from Papertrey Ink (Miniblooms, floral fusion, and fillable frames).  Patterned paper is from Doodlebug 6x6.  Inks from PTI.

Cute Little Tag

Hi Friends!  Today I have a fun little tag for you.  You are probably seeing the double tag all over the place- I thought I would give it a try.  I double cut the PTI tag 1 die from both patterned paper and cardstock.  Then I shortened the cardstock layer and gave it a scalloped edge.  A little stamping, a little ribbon and we are good to go!

And here it is all put together!  So pretty!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Floral Gift Set (Inspired by...)

Hi friends!  I have a new gift set for you today.  I got the idea for this set after watching this video from Kristina Werner.  I fell in love with that envelope.  In fact, I made the envelopes before I even had an idea of what to do with the cards.

I used PTI's Floral Frenzy and Fillable Frames for these cards and envelopes.  The sentiment is from Mini Blooms.  Floral Frenzy is an older set and I have certainly gotten my money's worth from it.  A great addition to any collection. 

I

The color pallet is New Leaf, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet, and Hawaiian Shores (all PTI).  Cardstock and ribbons are from PTI as well.  The cards have diamond stickles on the centers of the flowers.

All sets need great packaging.  This set is seriously on its way out the door today so I needed a quick package for it.  I am using a clear box that some PTI stamps came in.  I used Washi tape (doodlebug) to cover up where the sticky from the belly bad was.  I used some May arts twine to tie on the tag.

Back side of the gift set.   The tag (in the previous pic) was made from an Ad Sense die that I cut in half (it was blank and laying on my desk and got pressed into service! LOL).  Thanks for stopping in today!

Minibloom Set

I gotta tell you, I love the Mini Bloom set from PTI.  I love the scale, I love the flowers, I love the sentiments.  There is nothing I would change here.

Card 1- I used Canyon Clay, Summer Sunrise, Simply Chartreuse, and Harvest Gold.

Card 2- Berry Sorbet, New Leaf, Blueberry Sky, Spring Rain, Harvest Gold

Card 3- Melon Berry, Hawaiian Shores, Smokey Grey, New Leaf

Card 4- Autumn Rose, Versamagic Lilac and Aqua, Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf, Harvest Gold

PTI Blog Hop- Monograms

Hello friends!  What a shocker this is- finding myself ready for a blog hop on time!  This month the challenge at Papertrey Ink is to create something with a monogram.  I made a little note card with my initials.

I started by cutting out the white panel.  I found center and then stamped my initials with PTI's outline alphabet.  I colored the letters with my copic markers using a lighter green for the top.  I stamped the flowers from Mini Blooms with melon berry, summer sunrise, and new leaf ink and then wrapped a piece of melon berry ribbon around the bottom.  The whole thing is mounted on a New Leaf card base.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Mini Blooms Tags and Card

Hello my friends!  It has been awhile.  I just haven't been feeling the blogging bug lately.  I've been creating plenty but when the card is done I haven't been photographing or uploading.  I keep thinking the want will come back eventually and hopefully I will get back on some type of schedule.  I had thought about scheduling it out but then this isn't my job- I have one of those and as much as I love it its still work.  I certainly don't want my hobby to be work too.  So there you have it.  Anyway today I do have a little something for you.  Its taken with my iphone so the pictures are not edited.  I am all about easy lately. 

Tags are up first.  These are made with the new PTI set Mini Blooms.  I love this set already.  I have only had it in my possession for a few days but I love it.  The tags are also PTI- the Tremendous tags.  I stamped using Melon berry, summer sunrise, and new leaf ink.  I used the mini bloom dies to make the pop ups.

Here we have the matching card.  I actually made the tags first and then was inspired by the colors.  I stamped the large corner leaf/flower image in green and then added colored flowers using the die cuts.  I added the melon berry ribbon (right over where I smudged- LOL) and called it a day.  Thanks for coming by- I appreciate you coming back to read here even when the posts are sporadic!
