Make It Monday revisited #305

 I absolutely loved Laurie's card and tried to pretty much make it to a tee. Mine feels like it fell a bit short but here it is just the same. Check out her video HERE . On my card I used PTI Wreath for all Seasons (embossed on background) and the middle die is PTI. Bkgrnd die is Spellbinders. Sentiment is Darkroom door. Pine needles by SU. Background leaves are PTI Holiday Tree.

Masking and Stamping

Today I am sharing a card for Papertrey's Make it Monday #343. Betsy shows a great technique to try with Masking. Check it out HERE I used PTI Tree Trimming Trio for my card. Colors I used are Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides and SU Midnight Muse. 

Envelope Bags with Patterned Paper MIM #342

Another fun project for the PTI challenge. Lexi Daly shows how to make a little bag out of any ordinary envelope.  CLiCK HERE to see her tutorial. I used PTI Holiday Flourishes and Swirls patterned paper. It's an 8x8 in paper so it ends up being quite small. Cute little package for some mints or chocolates!

Make it Monday #339

I'm coming in just under the wire with my card for the PTI Make it Monday #339. Read all about it Here I used some PTI Black and White patterned paper for my frame and a sentiment from retired Believe stamps. It's a quick and easy card.

Packaging with Printed Papers MIM #337

Today my project is a Christmas Cookie Box. I think it would perfectly hold some gingerbread cookies. I've used some of the PTI retired paper Rustic Snowflakes for the gable box and leaves and sentiment from Holiday Tree. Details for this challenge can be found by clicking HERE

Gilded leaves

Today I have a card to share that is for the Make it Monday Gilded Leaves challenge. I have made an anniversary card that I needed for a 60th celebration tomorrow. These leaves are a perfect embellishment for a fancy card such as this. I used Lovely Layers and the retired Life set for my stamps. Damask Designs for the sentiment. The berries were cut with a SU die which I painted with a platinum finish. Definitely a fun technique!!

Make it Monday 333

Happy Friday Everyone! My card is for the challenge at Papertrey Ink MIM. HERE is the details.
I used Polka Dot Basics for the background in grey. Flowers are from an old SU set Embrace Life. Thanks die is from PTI.

I thought I'd jazz it up a bit with glossy accents on the butterflies and copic colored a bit more yellow on the flowers. Not sure if I like it better or not?

The Zfold gave the balloons an appearance of lifting. I like it!

Leaves were cut with Wplus9 leaf die. Tiny flowers with Top Dog die. Sentiment from PTI Through the Trees. Scalloped squares by Nestability. I was hestitant about joining this challenge because I wasn't sure about the felt flowers but they really are fun to make and really add a special touch to a handmade card.

Envelope for PTI MIM challenge

I haven't used them much but do need to practise to get a toned down result as well as the bright. I used the Bloom Builders #3 dies for my flowers and Hello Sunshine for sentiments. I scrounged to find a tiny sentiment stamp for the tag. Jar stamp is from Recollections.

I'm entering this card into the Casual Fridays Birthday Boy challenge HERE and Papertrey Make It Monday Make It With Money HERE.  I wasn't going to take part in the PTI challenge because I couldn't think what I might make with money but I got onto Youtube and came up with this guitar.  I used PTI Fancy Flourishes and Casual Fridays Woot Woot stamps. A few SU sequins and here you have it.
