Another card for PTI "Make it Monday" Go-to sentiment



Another try for a PTI anniversary card contest.
This is a card for my son's Valentine birthday. It's not too lovey-dovey as is fitting for a man, but w/a little Valentine-ishness to give a nod to a Feb. 14th birthday. He'll be home this weekend, so I'll be able to give it to him in person!
Thanks for looking!

Supplies: PTI stamps, cardstock, ink, impression plate; Nesties; EK circle punch

Cowgirl note w/medallion



I wanted to try one of Nichole Heady's lazy medallions & use my new Nestie Lacey Circles to make this one. I stamped the background to harmonize w/the Cosmo Cricket "Wanted" papers. I'll be making more of these medallions using different edges - I like the look.

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket PP, Nestie, PTI - kraft & Ocean Tides cardstock, Fall Elegance; Memento ink, Scor-Pal, circle punch

Wreath thank you card



I made this thank-you card for my in-laws who gave me a very generous PTI gift certificate for my birthday. I'm a long time posting it. The "Wreath for all Seasons" set stamps up so beautifully!

Supplies: PTI - stamps, Kraft, rustic cream & Chocolate cardstocks, summer sunrise ink; Momento brown ink, Nesties, wool felt from LSS, Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Bookmarks

I made these bookmarks for the other ladies in my book club.
First - is there a way to rotate pictures in Blogger?

I made these bookmarks for the ladies in my book club. It was fun to have the bookmark sleeves from Michelle to make these look really cool. I tucked-in the triangle of plastic at the top behind the bookmark to hold it it. Then I punched a hole w/my Crop-a-dile & put the ribbon through the hole to secure the layers together.

Supplies: PTI- Rustic Cream, Rustic White, Harvest Gold cardstocks, All Booked Up stamp set; Nesties, Cuttlebug embossing folder, bookmark sleeve

Oh, this is a card blog; I'm supposed to make cards!


I had a fun crafty day at Scrapper's Boutique w/Rhonda & toward the end of it, realized I had not actually MADE anything! I'd spent time shopping & die-cutting & stamping things w/stamps Rhonda owns that I don't. So, shortly before we left & wanting to use my new MS butterfly punch, I whipped up this very simple card.

It's so fun to get together w/someone who shares your mania. She had gotten her September PTI release box & so I was able to see some of the new stuff. We split the new Fine Linen buttons & felt, so I have some of the new color until my box arrives w/the card stock & ribbons I ordered. I ordered one of the infamous Kraft binders that is delaying our boxes from getting to us.

I'm sorry that I'll miss the PTI gals October get-together in Waxahachie, but I'll do my darnedest to make the next one!

Supplies: PTI card stock, patterned paper & stamp, MS monarch butterfly punch, Marvy scalloped circle, Colorbox chestnut chalk ink
