Papertrey April Blog Hop Blog Hop Challenge

My Card for the Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop challenge After I got looking at it, and didn't want to fix it, I felt as though I should have turned the "congratulations" the other way. Too late. I used PTI Beautiful  Blooms Die to cut the flower and Hibiscus Burst ribbon. Congrats stamp from Enjoy the Ride set. 

Strawberry Make it Monday #209

An all occasion card for the challenge at #209 Make it Monday White on white die cuts with a pop of color I used PTI stamps Strawberry Patch (definitely a favourite). Berry Sorbet on front strawberries and SU Real Red on background berry. I clear embossed the bigger stamp as a background although it is hard to see it.

Baby card for Casual Friday's

This is my entry for Casual Friday's challenge  CFC138: Create a Clean And Simple project using twine,Kraft and flowers. 

Care Card

After interior painting half of my home I was itching to do a bit of papercrafting before the warm sunny days of yardwork started. We're having a balmy +20 celsius day today and no snow. 

 I'm starting out with a card for the challenge over at Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #207 Double Partial Die Cutting. I used the heart die from Polka Dot Parade #11 and MatStack 2 Die. Stamping is Hello Sunshine (rays behind the heart and sentiment). Raspberry Fizz paper (almost looks neon) and gold embossing.

Glittered Frames

And here is my project for the Make it Monday #191 Glittered frames. I used PTI stamps Through the Trees and sentiment from Tree Trimming Trio. I sponged the sky with TH Faded Jeans. I double stamped the trees, one with color and then second with versamark and used white pearl embossing powder. That about sums it up. I really does look nicer in real.

Stamping Plaid

This is my project for the Make it Monday #190 Stamping Plaid I used an old retired set from SU Perfect Plaids to create my plaid. I've never had much luck using this set before but after watching the video by Ashley it worked lots better. I used PTI Stamp set Wreath for all Seasons, Leaf border die and raspberry fizz paper and ink. I added some gold embossed lines to the plaid as well.

Snowflakes, Candle and Candycanes

Here's a fun project inspired by Melissa Philip's video at Papertrey Ink Make It Monday#182. Check it out HERE I made a Christmas Jar to hold candycanes or it works great as a votive holder as well. I used Annie Sloan chalk paint stamped with PTI Holiday Tree snowflakes in white and silver. I die cut the snowflake out of a stick vinyl and painted overtop. Removed the vinyl and embossed a white snowflake in center. The candycanes show through the unpainted glass very nicely. Top rim is Deco Tex snow. Turned out pretty cute!!
