PTI Stamp-a-faire #3
Ooh, I had fun with this one. Here’s my card for challenge #3 from PTI Stamp-a-faire. I know it’s no where near Halloween, but I thought making a full moon out of it was a cool way to work that punched hole into the card. Had a hard time getting a good picture of it, but it looks pretty neat in person. CS is SU very vanilla and perfect plum. Ink is black Staz-on, yellow cat’s eye, and Ranger vintage photo distress. The stamps are from PTI Spooky Sweets II.
PTI Stamp-a-faire #1
Here is my card for the first PTI Stamp-a-faire challenge; to use a patterned strip along with a decorative element. I used PTI supplies in spring moss, spring rain, and berry sorbet; as well as DCWV patterned paper. The flower is from the Beautiful Blooms set, and the sentiment is from Vintage Picnic.
CPS 221
I just got the Elegant Soiree paper pack, had no idea it was fixing to retire. Oh well, I’m so behind the curve 
Here is a card I made for CPS Sketch 221.
Everything is Stampin’ Up, except the sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink set Floral Fusion.
Wedding Card April SFYTT
My cousin is getting married this weekend, and he and his fiance are very outdoorsy/nontraditional kind of people. I think the colors and style are a good match for them. I used the sketch for April’s Sketch for You to Try. The stamps, paper, and ribbon are all Stampin’ Up. The embellishments at the bottom are K & Co.
March SFYTT
Here’s my card for the March Sketch for You to Try – and at the last minute! Things have been so busy lately, I haven’t made much of anything all month. Not sure I’m thrilled with this, but here it is. The color is way off because there wasn’t a single minute of sunshine today, had to take the picture with a desk lamp and the overhead light. Oh well. Everything is Stampin’ Up.
Glitter Strips Birthday
Here is my card for Papertrey Ink’s Make it Monday #3 Challenge – adding glitter with scor-tape. I love this technique! I used PTI’s Floral Fusion set, which is one of my favorites (I’m SO glad I waited in that line at CHA last year!). All of my supplies are from Papertrey, except the glitter which is Martha Stewart, and the Sakura Souffle pen, which I used for the centers of the flowers.
February’s SFYTT
Ok, so here I am, day 3 of being home sick, and I am still making cards like mad. Here’s one that I made for I Heart to Stamp’s Sketch for You to Try. I played around with patterned paper a little more than is usual for me.
Supplies: PTI White CS, Dark Chocolate ribbon, and Mixed Messages sentiment; SU Sweet Pea DP, Pretty in Pink CS, Fifth Avenue Floral stamp, Chocolate Chip ink
CPS205 True Friend
Ooh, I’m home sick and stamping like mad! I used CPS sketch 205 for this card, and I think I know who it is going to!
Cardstock is SU certainly celery, chocolate chip, crumb cake, and bashful blue, DP is SU delicate Dots. Ink is SU chocolate chip and baja breeze. Stamps: SU True Friend and rub on at the bottom is from Heidi Grace.
PTI Make it Monday
I love using vellum on cards…I just forget that I have it! Here is the card I made for PTI’s Make it Monday Vellum Sentiment Strip. I loved Nichole’s suggestion of scoring the vellum, then hiding the score tape underneath the score. Brilliant! I pretty much stuck with her layout, too, and kept it very simple.
Supplies:Paper: PTI spring rain and vellum, SU chocolate chip and rose red, American Crafts a la carte Ink: stazon black, PTI button and nestabilities scalloped circle
January SFYTT
Here’s my card for the I *heart* 2 Stamp January Sketch for You to Try. 
I used The Cat’s Pajama’s set “You Say it’s Your Birthday” and Stampin’ Up Sweet Pea designer paper pack. Sprinkles has a sparkly collar, and her birthday cake wish is raised up on a dimensional.
