PTI Blog Challenge

I must say that pink and green is one of my least favorite color combinations, but I like the way this one came out. I used stacked plates to get the butterfly embossed on the background. I always wanted to try that technique. 

PTI products used:

Heeling Touch Sentiments

Aida Embossing plate

Beautiful Butterfly Layers stamps

Beautiful Butterfly Layers dies

White card stock

PTI Make it Monday

Altenew February challenge

I took a class by Altenew at CHA and fell in love with their layered flower stamps. The class didn't offer freebie sets, so I had to go buy my own. I chose the stamp set called Golden Garden with matching dies and another one called Super Script. I love the bold mod look and these flowers and sentiments make it easy to whip up a quick tag. 

Checkout the other cards in this challenge, head to the Altenew blog.

J - jewels

O - ombré

N - something new

And here is my tag:

I used my new PTI tag die and PTI Scribble Circles stamp.

PTI Thank-you

My last card that I'm sharing today is a thank-you card. 

This is a nice flat card since it's going in the mail today to PTI. And of course there is a matching envelope. :oD

I used an old PTI stamp set called Bird Watching. I also used Wonderful Words:Thank-you and Circle Scrbbles.

PTI Color Pop Challenge

This challenge involves a color picker...

Pick a number: 5
Move the picker 5 times and the color over my left thumb is my first color
SIMPLY CHARTRUSE
Flip 11 times - November
open flap on the left to get the next two colors
SPRING RAIN - BLUEBERRY SKY

These aren't colors that I would have picked... kind if too monochromatic for me, but I really like how it came out.

I used the PTI Enjoy frame die cut, and Beautiful Blooms stamp set and dies.

This challenge was to use one of the paper trey design teams' projects as inspiration.

I picked this project by Danielle Flanders

Happy Birthday, Jena!

6 years old today! For a special treat, she gets a yummy cookie. Jena loved these cookies :oD

PTI Birthday

Today's challenge was to grab all our supplies within 5 minutes. Well, if I'm going to do that, I have to know exactly what I'm going to create and use familiar tried and true supplies.

I grabbed my go-to PTI Star Prints stamps, Think Big birthday stamps, and one of my favorite BG 6x6 paper pads...

And this is what I created

I timed myself and it took me 15 minutes to finish this card, but to my defense I didn't stop the timer when the Girl Scout came to the door. 

So in 15 minutes, I have a fun birthday card and two boxes of Thin Mints :oD

PTI Birthday

This PTI Birthday challenge is to gain inspiration from clothing. All of my clothes  are pretty boring... Mostly solids, so I went cruising online and found this dress from Banana Republic.

And here is my card

I used the Happiness in Bloom stamp set, the Wonderful Word Thank- you die, and PTI card stock.
