October Papertrey Ink Blog Hop



Good Morning! Today is Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop, and I haven't participated in a couple months, actually I haven't even updated my blog in a couple months, so I really wanted to play along!

 

The challenge this month Non-Traditional Holiday Colors, where we were given the choice between some gorgeous color combos to create our project with! So fun!

 

I chose the following color combo:



 

 

I just love that wreath!

 

And this was the card I came up with!



 

 





I stamped the Holly leaves in Hawaiian Shores on the Aqua Mist mat and stamped the berries in Raspberry Fizz. The Damask Snowflakes are new to me this year, so I'm sure I'll be using them a lot! I am not sure those little rusty jingle bells really 'go' with this particular card, but they are also new to me this year, and I just *had* to use them!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what everyone else created with these inspiring color combos!

Boo!

Last weekend I started on Halloween cards with the intention of playing along with a Challenge Heather Nichols had going on for a Mr. Bones Halloween Spook-out. Unfortunately, I never got around to posting...so I thought I'd share it today.

This is my first time posting from the iPhone Blogger app, so hopefully it is ok.

I have a few more cards to share, so will be back soon! Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you're having a fabulous weekend!

August Blog Hop

This was the inspiration we were given to work with:




And my take on it:

Make It Monday #73

Happy Friday! I needed a quick card last night for Mamaw's birthday, and I remembered this week's Make It Monday is stamping on patterned paper, so this is what I ended up with:

Honestly, I'm not 100% in love with this one. I was very rushed, so there was no experimenting with colors, no do-overs. I just had to go with what ever happened! That is what is bad about waiting until the last minute!
Anyway, the gingham patterned paper is Lily Bee, I thought it was a nice compliment to Fine Linen, so that is my card base. I stamped the flourishy vine from TANL in Ocean Tides.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Paper: Fine Linen, Stamper's Select, Rustic White, Lily Bee patterned
Stamps: Lovely Layers, Turning A New Leaf, Tiny Tags, Mixed Messages

Happy Independence Day

Hello and Happy 4th of July! I hope you are having a nice day! I spent a little time cleaning, and a little time in my craft room today. This evening we are going down the street for a traditional family gathering. I found what looks to be a tasty Feta Dip on Pinterest I will be making to bring.
While I had a little extra time in my craft room today, I decided to whip up a little card to honor today. I cannot take 100% credit for the idea for this card. I remember maybe last year? seeing Amber from Damask Love using her Botanical Silhouettes dandelion flowers to make fireworks, so I decided to give it a whirl, since I have no actual fireworks stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Oh, and a little tip I heard before I go...I heard if you blow one of your hands off with fireworks, you get an extra day off work! ;-) Sick, I know. I do have a bit of a twisted sense of humor!

Supplies: (All Papertrey Ink, unless otherwise noted)
Paper: Enchanted Evening, Stamper's Select
Stamps: Botanical Silhouette's, Happy Day
Dies: Happy Day
Ink: Pure Poppy, Enchanted Evening
Other: Star Dust Stickles by Ranger

Make it Monday #72

Hello and Happy Hump Day! Over the half way point to the weekend! Yay!

I'm just stopping in to share a quick card I made for this weeks Make it Monday, in which Dawn is challenging us to Step up our Embellishments! I have missed quite a few MIM's now, and with my June goodies making a landing on Monday (I ordered late, because I was out of town), I just had to play along! And this is what I came up with:

And here is a side view where you can hopefully see the dimension a little more:

I stepped up this embellishment on my card by adding lots of layers. I also heat embossed with clear EP the Pretty Peonies butterfly, and the Fancy Flourish. I stamped the Mat Stack 5 with the Mat Stack 5 Collection. It is a little hard to tell in the photo, but the bling matches the Winter Wisteria doily better IRL. Anyway, I hope you like my interpretation of this weeks challenge! I had a lot of fun with this card! I will be back soon with some cards I made and never posted using On The Farm.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and have a GREAT rest of your day!
