Stitches and Swirls

Merry Christmas and Hello friends!  Its been awhile.  I've been knee deep in 7th grade curriculum and grading.  Haven't touched an ink pad for most of the school year.  However, Christmas break has given me some relax time which has been great!  Yay for a little free time!

I give you a card!  I used Stitches and Swirls from PTI.  I colored it with my copics.  While coloring I realized many of my pens are dry so of course I needed to place a large refill order.  Getting those pens filled back up soon!  Colors here are Lime Ice and Berry Sorbet (PTI).  I've got stickles on the flowers which is showing up a bit weird in the picture.  Thanks for taking the time to stop in!

Thank You!

Hi Friends! Happy New Year!  I hope 2014 is starting off well for you all!  This is the first card I've made this year.  I used all PTI product.  I stamped the stitched flowers in white ink on Blueberry Sky cardstock.  I then added some shading with a white pencil.  A few red rhinestones finish things off.  The banner is PTI bitty boxes paper stamped with a sentiment from a special Thank You set from a few years ago.  Thanks for stopping by- I know the posts are few and far between.  Blogging has taken the back burner for me the past six months.  My life is a bit chaotic at the moment so I don't see blogging coming back to the forefront any time soon but I do appreciate you checking in on me!

Stitches and Swirls Thank You

Good Morning blog friends! I have a quick little card for you today.   I was trying to use up some of the many vellum strips I have left over from making my SIL's baby shower invites.  Pretty simple to do the only thing that may need explanation is the leaf die cut.  I covered the cardstock with scor tape and then glitter and then I die cut it.  Works pretty well, but it does stick the die a bit.  Thanks for stopping in!

More Stitches and Swirls

Good Morning Blog Friends! I have another Stitches and Swirls project for you today.  You can see the blue panel is essentially the same, in fact I made four of them at the same time.  If you are going to get out the embossing powder and the gun you might as well make it worth your while.  This time I paired  up the panel with some orange cardstock and orange pp from Echo Park.  Orange and Blue are across from each other on the color wheel making them compliments to each other.  The tag is from cuttlebug.  The sentiment is from one of the Fillable Frames.  Misc. bling and buttons.  Thanks for stopping by!

Good Morning Blog Friends!  I have a little something for you today featuring PTI's Stitches and Swirls.  I won this not long ago and I am so glad I did!  I stamped the background flowers on the blue cardstock using Versamark.  I embossed in white.  I matted it on some patterned paper- would love to tell you whose, but I have no idea.  I added a little tag (Provo craft) and some bling.  The sentiment is from one of the Fillable Frames series.  A little twine and some white ribbon and we are all done!  Thanks for stopping in!

Stitches and Swirls

Hi there blog friends!   I have been making the effort to post more consistantly but I wanted to give you a heads up that I am going to be MIA for the next few days.  However I should have a new post up next Sunday or Monday.  I was a card making machine a few days ago so I still have blog fodder for the next week or two.  Today I have a CAS card using Stitches and Swirls.  I wanted that set so bad and then I won it at the blog hop!  Yay for that!  Free stuff.  Layout and technique are really simple.  Stamped in versamark and embossed with white.  Added some velvet ribbon and some pp (not sure who its by).  That's all there is to it!  Thanks for stopping by.
