Ruby Rose, Papertrey Ink., 2013

PTI: Dress Up Inspiration

PTI: Dress Up Inspiration. We were to choose something from our closet, or an image we liked and use it as our inspiration. I loved the combination of color, white and denim in this photo. 

I stamped PTI Background Basics: Chevron Stripes in a rainbow of colors. The flowers from PTI Ruby Rose were embossed with CTMH Silver Pearl embossing powder. The card base was stamped with SU! Canvas background stamp in versamark. 

PTI: Grab and Craft

For the Grab and Craft challenge, we had just five minutes to grab items from our craft supply, but needed to use all of them in a new card. I haven't had the chance to play with Everyday Button Bits yet (though I've had it a while) so I started there. I also found this fibrous paper buried in an old pile. I don't know where it came from, or how long I've had it, but it's high time I used it! The chalks I have also had forever, and rarely used. 

This card came together surprisingly easily! I love how Everyday Button Bits does all the hard work for you!

PTI Anniversary- special delivery

The PTI challenge for the day was to find an image on Pinterest of interesting gift wrapping, and create your own using PTI products. I found an image of a cute sour cream container, that had been stitched, instead of glued (here's the link). I pulled out my Star Prints stamp set and created a little treat container for my boys for valentine's day.

PTI Year of the Flowers: Daffodils

For today's anniversary challenge at Papertrey Inc we needed to create a card with our favorite Year of the Flowers set. I love daffodils!! They are always so cheery. I struggled trying to balance this on a card, and wound up closely imitating a card Heather Nichols made with this set. She is always a wonderful inspiration when I'm completely stuck!!
