PTI Swap - Tags and Card

Hi All, Just a quick post to share some Birthday tags and card that I made for the PTI Swap hosted by Michele on SCS. If you like PTI Cards, then this is a good swap to join - very creative group. I am always excited to get my swap cards back.

This is the first time I am making a birthday tag or tag of any kind for the swaps. So, I was not getting good ideas. I hope the ladies on the swap like these tags. I used the Pretty Peonies (PTI Anniversary) Stamp set for the tag. I seem to be in a pink color phase.

This is the card that I did for Birthday Card Slot of the swap. I used the PTI Gracious vases stamp set for this card and paper pierced the vases.

My other two projects for this swap can be seen here - Pink Birthday card  and Thinking of you Card.

My First Washi Tape Card

Hi Friends, Washi Tape is the craze every where and I did not own any until now. End of last month I was visiting seattle and ended up at the Impress Rubber Stamps store in Tukwila(GASP!!!). It was soo cool. I got two washi tapes from there. But I had not still tried it on anything. Then my friend got us some Queen and Co Washi tapes. I still had not tried it on any cards. The final tip was that Target is selling Washi Tapes. I had to get some and I decided enough of hoarding and did a card with it :)) YAY....

Here is a close up of the colored image and the Washi Tape from Target.

It is kind of hard to see in the card, but I have used white over white. I put the washi tape on a white panel (3.75"x5") and then mounted that on a white card base using foam dots. The image is from PTI's Autumn Abundance stamp set. I love this stamp set. Sentiment is from the same set as well.

I made this card for the very first challenge from Oozak blog. Loved this design so much that I am using the same for PTI Swap Card hosted by Michele on SCS for the "Thinking Of You" Category.

Here is a photo of my Washi Tape Stash.

EDITED TO ADD - This card was totally inspired by NorAnne's card that you can see here.

PTI Swap card - Pink Birthday Card

We have a good group of Swappers on SCS and we normally swap PTI Cards i.e. cards made with PTI Stamps, paper etc. This time the swap is being hosted by Michele. one of the categories this time was a pink birthday card. This was as pink as I could do.

I used the Raspberry Fizz patterned papers from PTI. Inked the edges and mounted it on Dark Chocolate base. The ribbon buckle is called Tilda Buckle from Memory Box. I die cut it with Dark Chocolate Paper. The image is from PTI Tag-it's #10. Just love this birthday stamp set. I offset some of the pink with white and dark chocolate patterned paper.

Happy Birthday - PTI Swap Card

I am participating in the PTI Swap hosted by Steffie on SCS and I wanted to share the card that I did for the Birthday card category.

I used the new PTI Pretty Peonies Anniversary set for my card. I was inspired by Nichole Heady's card that she did for the set reveal. I did not get the background set she had used, so instead used the Script Patterned Paper. You can see her card here.

I am for sure loving the new PTI Inks. I used Simply Chartreuse ink for the label. I used Ranger DI Tumbled Glass and stamped the outline Peony image for the center panel. I cut out the copic colored flower and the panel and popped them up on foam dots to give the card a bit of dimension.

PTI Swap Card and Card Candy

These are the card and card candy that I did for PTI Swap on SCS Hosted by Shannon. I had so much fun making the card candy.

I used the PTI Doily Details die for one of the card candy and I found out that it is definitely easier if you use the metal shim in cuttlebug. And plus after removing the die cut from the die, if there are any paper pieces stuck to the die, you have to remove them completely before reusing the die again, otherwise it does not cut properly.

Stamp - Fillable Frames #5, Matstack 3 Collection, PTI Anniversary Set
Ink - Ranger Distress Ink - Barn Door, Dusty Concord, Memento Black

Hello Friends,

It has been a while since I posted, although I have been busy with projects, did not get the time to take pictures and blog.

I am back with a card today that I did for the PTI Swap on SCS Hosted by Michele. This is the card that I did for the regular card spot. I will be back tomorrow with the post on the card candy that I did for this swap.

I used the PTI Beautiful Blooms patterned paper. I chose the card stock and ribbon colors from the patterned paper itself. Red ribbon, Hawaiian Shores and Ripe Avocado CS. I used the Think Big Favorites #1 stamp set and I think the big sentiment looks good matched with any patterned paper. I added a MS punched butterfly with a pearl embellishment to finish off the card.

Scattered Showers - Thinking Of You

The Challenge this time is,

"This month's blog hop challenge involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust!  Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it might hold"

I used one of my favorite older sets called "Scattered Showers" for this card. I had not used this stamp set in a while although it used to be one of my to go sets :) So, in honor of this blog hop, this set got inked up :)

I stamped the umbrella in Ranger DI - Spiced Marmalade, cut it out and popped it up with some foam dots. I cut out the flower using PTI Dies and added some button to it. I love the font in this stamp set.

The card is much better IRL, I forgot to take pictures of the 3D Effect. The white panel is raised as well as the umbrella :). I have inked the edges of the White panel as well as the Green Bitty Box Basics Patterned paper using PTI Chai Inking Cube, but for some reason does not show up well in the picture. I made this card for the Regular card spot in the PTI Card swap that we are having over at SCS. If you are interested in joining the next round of PTI Swap - Jennifer is hosting it - here is the link.

Please stop by at Nichole's blog to see the complete list of participants and to get inspired to use some of your older sets.

Black and White Christmas Cards

I wanted to share the two Black and White Christmas cards that I did for the Kelli Jo's Swap on SCS.

My first card uses the single stamp from Stampin Up - Dasher. I loved this stamp set. I have used some black gingham patterned paper from Making Memories. I used the new Snow dots Embossing folder with some Gina K designs Mother of Pearl Metallic CS. This paper is just gorgeous and has an awesome sheen to it. I tried to get a close up picture.



here is the close up picture,



For my 2nd card, I used Gina K Designs Christmas in July set- Blessed is the Season. This set is just so pretty. I kept the design simple again. I used the script image from this set and created the background using Memento London Fog Ink. I felt that black might be too overwhelming. Then the tree image formed the focal image. I wanted to put some liquid applique or Stickles on the tree branches, but forgot to do that :(

PTI July SWAP - Regular Card Category

I wanted to share this card that I did for the July PTI Swap on SCS hosted by my friend Amy.

I was inspired by Lisa Johnson's card shown here.

I chose different color combination for my background and chose to put my sentiment differently, but overall this card was inspired by Lisa's card.



I stamped the Large Diamond pattern from the Little Argyle set using Vivid Red Ink (from GKD). I stamped the large dotted line over it using Memento Black. Then I used the smaller single diamond shape in Memento Pear Tart. This Pear Tart is a really neat color, I love how it looks with red.

Then I mounted this background CS on black and added some gingham ribbon with button.
