Tuesday Trigger - I Feel Pretty In Turquoise And Gold

This is my card for the  Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World.  The trigger is a beatiful room decorated in floral caramel and white wallpaper with white and turquoise accents.  As soon as I saw it, I thought of Papertrey's Spiral Bouquet set.  I stamped it with Fresh Snow on kraft paper and added accents of Aqua Mist, rhinestones, and dotted ribbons.

When I was finished, I was surprised by how many elements were represented (to me!)  I have a scored panel/baseboard, rhinestones/mirrors, scalloped layer/table.  The ruffling of the ribbon reminds me of the lamp.  It was a fun card to make!

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI Kraft, White
Ink: PTI Fresh Snow
Ribbons: PTI Dotted White
Stamps: PTI Spiral Boquet, Mixed Messages

PTI Blog Hop, Jan 2010 Edition

Hello, all!  I hope you are enjoying the blog hop so far. I rarely decorate the insides of my cards, so this was a challenge for me!

I used the Honey Bee and Around & About sets to make a thank you card. The card has white flowers stamped on a Lemon Tart background, so I reversed this for the envelope, stamping Lemon Tart on the white envelope.

For the inside I adhered a scrap of Lemon Tart and a small bee stamped on Soft Stone.  This will give me just enough room to sign my name!   Thanks for visiting.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI Soft Stone. Lemon Tart, Smokey Shadow

Ink: PTI Fresh Snow, Smokey Shadow, Lemon Tart

Stamps: PTI Honey Bee, Around and About, Little Lady

Christmas Cards for 2010!

I failed on Christmas cards this past year.  I made about 15 and planned to use up some cards I made last year or (maybe even the year before) but never sent.  When I looked at the old cards, I just couldn't use them.  Yes, they were that bad!

So before I put away the Christmas stamps this year, I thought I'd get a head start on next year.  (I know there's a chance I will hate these next year, but I think it's pretty small.  Part of the problem with the old cards is they were pre-PTI cardstock, and felt very flimsy.)

This card was made by stamping the flourish from Silent Night with versamark on PTI Kraft.  I let dry for a few days and stamped the sentiment, then heat embossed in black.  The Mistletoe is from Inkadinkadoo, I think, and is colored in with Copics.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with these.   Thanks for stopping by!

Gigs Guidelines Card Set

I created this fun card set for a friend with the medallions from Giga Guidelines and the sentiments from Star Prints.  These sets are both PTI.  I stamped the patterns right on the card base with versamark and then heat embossed with clear detail powder.  (There might have been a few specks of glitter that got mixed in there as well!)

Colors are Summer Sunrise, Aqua mIst, Spring Moss in top photo and Melon Berry, Spring Rain, and Lemon Tart below.

I made the sentiment panels from rustic cream and kraft cardstock cut with Nestabilties (Labels 1, I think.)  When I ran out of kraft, I had to switch over to dark chocolate.  Can't believe I ran out of kraft!

I finished the cards with various Vintage Cream Ribbons, Rustic Buttons, and Rustic Twine.

Two of my favorites are highlighted below:
