Princess Challenge- Flower Outline

Welcome to our next PaperTrey Princess Challenge. For this challenge I would like to see come cards using just the outline of flowers. I am an awful colorer so every time Nichole makes a card using an uncolored flower I think there might be hope for me.

I needed a sympathy card for the church bookstore so I combined the two.

I hope you enjoy this simple yet classy challenge!

Grad Cards

Happy Graduation!

I had an order for 4 grad cards so I needed to make them on my first day off of school. What a pity! Not! It was so great to be crafting! I actually did get a bunch of laundry done too!

Most of these cards were inspired by cards I found in the SCS Gallery. The Raspberry Fizz card was made off of a card in the Sketches4you app on my iPad. Love that app!

Enjoy~

PaperTrey Princess Challenge #4 & 7 Card Challenge #2

Some times you just have to multi-task! I realized I still had not completed Princess Challenge # 4, which was to Score It. Not sure if you can see the score lines on here, but they are present and accounted for! The top score lines have black embroidery floss going between them and the bottom scores have some teeny-tiny buttons between them. Thanks Pam for a great challenge!

I also need to keep working on my 7 card challenge to ink-up some unused stamp sets. This card uses Enjoy the Ride by PTI. It was fun masking and detailing the car with black stripes. I also used SU! Glaze on the headlights. I had some requests for masculine cards in the bookstore so I couldn't do too much embellishment!

I'm Back!


Wow! What a summer! I couldn't wait for school to be out so I could have some free time. Well, I think I've been even busier. lol!

I had a request for 2 cards for the girls from church that are heading off to college this week. I wanted to use my new Everyday Button Bits stamps from PTI and these seemed that they would work fabulously. I am so pleased with the way these turned out. I do need to order MORE PTI buttons though. The first card is made from the buttons in my stash and the second card is using the wonderful PTI butons. What a FUN assortment.

Enjoy!

Hoppy Birthday and Mother's Day Tea

Here is a fun card I whipped up really quick since DS#4 needed a card for a b-day party.  I love how Guidelines 2 can be a fast fix for guy cards, yound and old.  I used the frog from Pond Life and also the Hoppy and the Birthday.  I put tape over the part of the sentiment that I didn't want to stamp, inked up the stamp, removed the tape, and I only got the words that I wanted. I also used my Nestability Stars. 

Next is a  group of fun gift sets I made for the church bookstore.  The sentiment is mainly from Warm Happiness but I did insert the "Mom" from Women of Life and used the tape trick again to remove the "a friend".  The tea pot is from the Tea for Two stamp set.  The patterned paper I used is from the Making Memories Flower Patch collection.  This collection is what the Stampin' Flybaby's Spring Craft Kit contains.  So fun and cheery!!!  Thanks again, Lauren, for your wonderful Timeless Template, available only from www.papertreyink.com !!!!!!

I backed the openings in the box with the heavy plastic that the PTI stamps come on originally.  I'm so good at recycling!  lol

Bridal Shower with PTI

Welcome Back!

Mrs. Bookstore wanted some Bridal Shower cards since there is a shower in the month of May for one of the ladies in the church.  Looks like PaperTrey came out with the Scattered Showers set just in time!  Here are 3 of the cards and the 4th one is down in the Papertrey Princesses challenge post.  

They all use Scattered Showers for both the image and the saying.  I really like how they all look so different with using basically the same stamps.

The first card is made with Aqua Mist and Lemon Tart cardstock.  The second one uses Pure Poppy and PTI White.  The third one uses Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist and Ocean Tides.   I saw the idea for the cut off Nestability die cut on Dawn's Blog
She sure does GREAT work!!!

Well, I hope the cards sell and that the bride likes them!

Happy Mother's Day



Just a really quick post showing some of the Mother's Day cards I made for the church bookstore.  These are all so different it is hard for me to pick a favorite.  

I think I am done making M.D. cards for the bookstore, now I need to make some for my Mom and my Mother-in-love.
