Mehndi Medallion impression plate

My goal is to make 4 sets of 6 different cards to bring as little gifts for people I'm seeing on our trip to the UK. This is the first one. I wanted to use the Mehndi Medallion IP to try it out. I love how it looks.
Thanks for stopping by! Now, to make the next 5!

Supplies: PTI cardstock & IP, Nestie tag, Waltzingmouse stamp, Versafine ink

Thinking of you card; Flower Fusion PTI

A card to add to my Operation Write Home pile. I did a stamped background, but feel I should have stopped a bit sooner. Live & learn!
Still, all in all, feel glad to have made a card! Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies: PTI - cardstock, stamps, buttons, ink; Versafine brown

Quick birthday card

I needed a card to take to a birthday luncheon, so I whipped out my new Nesties Labels 18 & one of my new Sizzix embossing folders to make this.
I put the Coredinations Whitewash cardstock in the embossing folder the wrong way, so my design is debossed! A little sanding brought the design out a bit.
No awards will be given for the photo.
Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies: Coredinations Whitewash CS, PTI white CS, Nesties, PTI stamp & ink

Summer Card Camp Week 3 - anniversary card

Here's the 30th anniversary card I made for my extremely dear husband. I used the colors for Summer Card Camp, Week 3 as they suited a masculine card. I guess a lovey-dovey card isn't really too masculine!
Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies: PTI cardstock, stamps & number dies. Tim Holtz edge die, Spellbinders tag, Versafine & Versamark inks

card for OWH/ Summer Card Camp

Two days in a row w/a new card! Perhaps it's the start of a roll.
This card was made w/whatever was already out on my table - except the kraft base. I will add it to my stash of cards for Operation Write Home. OWH needs a lot of no-occasion cards that the heroes can use for whatever purpose suits them.
This is also loosely based on the last of the bonus color schemes from Summer Card Camp.
Thanks for taking a look at my quick, cheerful card.

Supplies: PTI cardstock, ink & stamps; MME PP, Martha punch, Nesties, Sizzix embossing folder

Summer Card Camp - Week 1

I had email problems & didn't get this posted in time to be considered for the spotlight cards, but I can still be eligible for prizes on Sunday!
This was a hard color combo for me - purple always does me in - but I finally came to a truce w/it.
Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies: PTI cardstock, PP, ink, buttons & die; Twinery twine; Echo Park striped PP

Papertrey Princesses "Spring Cleaning" challenge

***Oops! picture coming tomorrow.
I am issuing my first challenge as a Papertrey Princess. Here we go with sort of a Spring Cleaning Challenge!

We all save some elements of the packaging that comes w/our PTI goodies -- perhaps the boxes, the tissue paper, the thank you cards, acetate sheets that the stamps come on & the cute belly bands from the stamp boxes. My challenge to you is to use at least one of these things we've been saving with the thought of, "I could use this for something!" So, think outside the box or use the box & let us see what you come up with. When you use these things, you're not taking time for crafting; you're doing Spring Cleaning!

If you are one of those rare beings who has none of the above items saved; I bow before your minimalism & salute you! You can just show us one of your pretty creations.

Papertrey Princesses Challenge

I have been a Princess in absentia. Computer problems, iPhone replacement, a dinner party & visitors have been keeping me from posting my card for the last challenge. See the challenge on Sue P.'s blog. http://thispinkrooster.blogspot.com/2011/03/papertrey-princesses-challenge.html
But on the last possible day, I sneek it in! Purple always makes me think of spring & lilacs were a spring highlight of my Michigan childhood.
The colors go together way better in real life.
Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI - cardstock, PP, stamp, ink, die. Nesties dies. Kay & Co dimensional sticker.
