PTI March 2011 Blog Hop

It is time for PTI March Blog Hop. The challenge this time was to use Embroidery Floss in a creative way. You can see the entire Participant list on Nichole's Blog.

Here is my card for this hop,

I used the Embroidery floss to decorate on of the doily dies and then kept the card simple by using a Signature Greeting for the sentiment. Adding the bigger doily as the background added some pizazz to the card.

Here is a close up of the decorated doily.

Thanks for stopping by,

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Signature Greetings
Paper - PTI Summer Sunrise, Blueberry Sky and White CS, PTI Library Ledger Patterned Paper
Ink - Memento Black
Other - PTI Doily Dies, Papersource Gemstone Embellishment

My Simple card for Raspberry Suite Challenge #17

Howdy All, It is October already :) I am not much into Halloween cards for some reason. Although I love putting up Halloween decorations :)

So for Dawn's Raspberry Suite Challenge #17, I ended up doing the a simple Holiday Card. I used the one of the images from Vintage Label and tried to create a frame...but after I see the picture, it is kind of skewed, but I still like the card.

Basically, I cut out a square piece of card stock, used it as a mask and stamped this image around it on the aqua mist card stock. Inside, I stamped the sentiment from Signature Christmas. I created the background page using the Guidelines Stamp set on Kraft card stock. A simple ribbon finished it off. I thought of putting some bling on the aqua card stock, but somehow it felt nice as it is.

Here is my card,


Sorry for the bad picture. This is what happens when you work late in the night on challenges.

Here is the Raspberry Color Challenge,

PTI September Blog Hop

It is time for PTI Blog Hop. This time the challenge is to reuse, re purpose or recycle packaging from the Papertrey Package. I did two projects this time for this challenge.



I used the clear boxes that the stamps come in and re purposed it to be a card holder. I used the PTI 6x6 designer Paper and covered this clear box on both sides. I put a ribbon and the used the new holiday sets - Vintage Label, Signature Christmas and Sweet Poinsettia to create the tag for the front of the box.



I also use the Corrugated Chipboard packaging that they use to keep the PTI Papers from getting bent and created a card with it.



I kept the card simple with the bird house as the focal image.

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Bird Watching, PTI Vintage Label, PTI Signature Christmas, PTI Sweet Poinsettia
Paper - PTI Rustic White CS, PTI Everyday Blessings DP
Ink - Memento Black, Copics, PTI Dark Chocolate, PTI Hibiscus Burst, PTI New Leaf
Other - Nestabilities
