PTI Anniversary -- 2/9 challenge

Here's the valentine I made for my daughter. I broke out Keep it Simple: Valentine to meet the 2/9 challenge of using an, as yet, uninked set.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI -- paper, ink, stamp, felt & center heart dies; Spellbinders -- doily heart

Ornament for my daughter -- PTI blog hop

I didn't get the gold on it -- only the silver -- for the blog hop. I used silver metallic thread & glass beads that have silver inside them.

I mostly copied this ornament by Nichole & was very pleased with the result. My daughter liked it as well.

Had never done any beading before -- it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for coming by!

supplies: PTI snowflake die, CS; DMC thread, beads from HL, felt from JoAnn

touch of gold birthday card

Sorry the light was bad for this shot.

I made a card for a friend's birthday & tried out some gold papers I had. The banners are cut from Silhouette adhesive-back gold paper -- it's nice & shiny & cut just fine in my Big Shot. the "You" & frame are cut from some American Crafts textured cardstock.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI - dies, cardstock, shimmer card stock, stamp, ink; AC- textured gold cardstock, Silhouette - gold adhesive paper, foam tape

PTI Stitched bookmark

I tried out the new bookmark & embroidered borders dies to make a quick gift door a friend who's having surgery.

The colors look better in real life.

It was quick & fun & will certainly be making more. I will also say that the PTI felt (Tropical Teal) was so much nicer than the pink felt -- which was sold to me as 100% wool felt, but did not have the thickness & stability of the PTI felt.

Thanks for coming by!

PTI August Blog Hop

This card didn't turn out quite as I planned, but at least I got a card made. I think the recipient will be glad to get a piece of real mail & won't be too harsh a critic.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI- cardstock, stamps, ink, cover plate; Hero Arts sentiment, Zing embossing powder, Versamark

The 80s, PTI SAF 2014

This was a fun era. I'm getting a lot of use out of the little $5 thank you set.

The 60s, PTI SAF 2014

I liked the cross hatch pattern stamp, but didn't have it. Was able to reproduce the look.

I don't think I have ever used 7 different colors of ink on a card before!

The 1920s, PTI SAF 2014

The 1940s, PTI SAF 2014

I think I'm in a monochromatic mood today. I used PTI cardstock, but the stamps are Waltzingmouse. I love that sentiment.
