Sunday Afternoon with PTI

When the lady at the church bookstore told me she needed 8 baby cards I remembered this great BLOG that I had visited with a terrific PTI baby card idea.

Thanks Amy! This is my take on your paper piecing.

As you can tell, I made more than 8 because they were soooooo cute. When I took the cards tonight for Mrs. Bookstore to pick the 8 that she wanted, she bought 5 for herself and ALL of the rest for the bookstore. I'd say she liked them!

3 more- It's a GREAT Day

You know it is a GREAT Saturday when you get to spend some time in the craft room. I was also able to make a Casual Mid-Week Challenge Card (PTI). I'm feeling pretty happy right now!

Goal 10 of each

So far: 5 Guide Lines, 2 Boards & Beams, 1 Flower Garden, 0 Birds of a Feather

Guide Lines Gift Card Holder

Happy Birthday, DS#2. For the young man starting college, a gift card seemed like the perfect gift. I put a Kohl's card in the slot for the picture, but the real GC will be from Office Max.

So Far: Guide Lines 5, 0 Birds of a Feather, 0 Boards and Beams, 0 Flower Garden

2 more PTI- Guide Lines

Working on my goal of making 10 cards with each of my new PTI sets before the 15th of July when the next new sets arrive.

So Far: 4 Guide Lines, 0 Birds of a Feather, 0 Flower Garden, 0 Boards & Beams

June Blog Hop-PTI

This month's Blog Hop challenge was to use a transparency. These are a little tricky to work with but this is what I came up with for my project.

I put my transparency through my Cuttlebug using the Stylized Flowers embossing folder. I then folded it in half. I cut a slit for the ribbon through the transparency and through a 1/2 sheet of Lavender Moon card stock that I had stamped the sentiment on using Mailbox Greetings. I then put some Plum Pudding ribbon through the slit and wrapped it around the front of the card. I attached some Prima Flowers with some Oriental Trading Company brads.

PTI Guide Lines

One of the new PTI stamp sets that I am really liking is Guide Lines. It is amazing all of the backgrounds that you can make with this set.

Here are 2 masculine cards that I made using this set. Hope you enjoy!

Just thought I would give you a little update on my stampin' for money life. This morning I took the cards I have been working on for the church bookstore and gave them to the lady that runs the store. I told her my price per card and told her to take the ones she wanted. WooHoo! She bought all 68 of them.

I celebrated by coming home and finally doing some scrapbooking for me. Here is a layout I made using the Summer Craft Kit from our Stampin' Flybaby group. It is such a fun kit using the Daisy Bucket Designs PP, On the Boardwalk. Be looking for more projects using this great kit. If you will notice, I did use some PTI CS and also the swirl flower from PTI-Garden of Life.

Oh dear, I did it again. I hit the "I WANT IT ALL" button on the PTI release. Be watching for some new PTI cards using my new "tools". They released the most BEAUTIFUL purple called Plum Pudding. Also some fabulous cream cardstock. Wait until you see the new stamp sets. I'm sue I won't do justice to "Boards and Beams" since I am coloring challenged, but I'm hoping I can get an ok look with my colored pencils. I just am not ready to start investing in the Copics!

So, be on the lookout! In order for these stamps to pay for themselves I need to make approx. 10 cards with each set. You can also keep an eye on ebay, as I will need to be selling off some stuff too! (ebay name is "stampinandflyin")

New PTI Cards

Okay, it's official. I'm really liking my Papertrey Ink stamps, papers, inks, and ribbons. Here are some cards that I made recently to put in the church bookstore. I hope you like them. I sure had fun making them.
