MAKE IT MONDAY #250: MASKED BACKGROUNDS

Hello,

I had time this past weekend to make one more card for this week's MIM over at Papertrey Ink.

Here it is:

I masked off the edge with some Painter's Tape and then I inked up the background with 3 different Distress Inks. I pulled out my PTI Pedal Pushers stamps and dies, Cloud dies and Picket Fence die to create this little scene. I also tried flicking some water droplets on my card but I wasn't thrilled with the result....I feel like it just looks like I dropped water on it! Not sure I will try it again :)

I didn't have any room for a sentiment so I just added it to the inside:

PAPERTREY INK MAY 2016 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

Hello,

It has been quite awhile since I have had time to make a card but I finally got around to it this past weekend. It was a long weekend here in Canada and the weather in Calgary was cold and rainy so I was able to carve out a little time to make a card! I loved this month's inspiration and was excited to pull out my PTI Summer Sweetness stamps and dies.

Here is the inspiration:

And here is my card:

My niece is turning 10 next week and so I made this card for her birthday. I inked up the background with some Distress Inks and then I diecut and stamped the popsicles in a variety of PTI and SU inks. I added Glossy Accents to each one, then once they were dry, I popped them up on some dimensionals and added them to my card. Lastly, I added the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Baked With Love stamp set.

PTI MARCH 2016 BLOG HOP

Hello,

I am stopping in to share my card for this month's blog hop. Were given a series of beautiful pictures from which to draw our inspiration from. Here is one:

I was inspired by the dark background and subtle flowers. Here is my card;

I used my PTI Bitty Button Stacks dies and Words of Comfort stamp set. I also used a Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle as my base. I  added some twine behind the sentiment as a little acknowledgment to the embroidery in this photo!

MAKE IT MONDAY #242: SPONGED STAMPING

Hello,

I always feel like I am stopping in last minute to share my card for this week's MIM. Mostly because I usually don't get time to craft during the week so I usually try to make a card on Sunday and post it after the kids are in bed....oh well, at least I still found time to play this week!

I have my bookclub meeting tomorrow and my friend is hosting it at her new house. So, I decided to make a card for the occasion. I used my PTI Putting Down Roots stamps and dies. Here is my card:

I inked up the bottom of the plant with some SU Gumball Green then sponged on some SU Old Olive. I use some PTI Bitty Dots patterned paper and added some Glossy Accents to the pot. Lastly, I added the sentiment in PTI Tropical Teal and rounded the bottom corners.
