Colour Q

Hi Everyone,

I used the new Natural Beauties stamp set from PTI on this card. It's an interesting combination of colors. They definitely give a fall feeling to the card. I do love the sentiment on the card, but I'm not a fan of the period at the end. I suppose I could eliminate the ink each time I stamp it.

PTI Natural Beauties

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card using both Beautiful Blooms and Natural Beauties. I used only Perfect Plum ink on the flowers, but on some of the flowers, I stamped it off first. This way, I don't have to figure out if colors go together well or not.

Yellow Roses

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card I made using the new Sweet Life stamp set from PTI. I used daffodil yellow ink and cardstock from SU. I stamped it lightly on the bottom layer, then twice on the last layer. I have now made this same card in purple and aqua. I'll have to post those here later.

Sunflowers

Hi Everyone,

Here is another take on my favorite stamp set--this time using vanilla cardstock and darker colors--Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, and Terracotta. This card is perfect for fall, which can't come here soon enough!!

Teal Cats Meow

Hi Everyone,

Here is another card I made yesterday. This one uses Graphic 45 paper that Elizabeth M. gave me. This paper is so super to work with--love it.

Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop

Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Here is my entry into the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop today. I used Erin's card that she made for the First Aid segment of the camp. I really enjoyed all the videos that the team members made, and learned quite a few new things. Thanks, Papertrey Ink!

I am making cards for my daughter's nursing unit at a local hospital. I am making cards that they can give each other to show their appreciation and motivate each other. Great idea. So Erin's card was perfect to add to this cause. Thanks, Erin.

Papertrey Ink SAF 2012

Hi Everyone,

I only got to do one card this weekend, but I have to admit that the videos that Nichole and all the Papertrey Ink team produced were outstanding. I enjoyed watching them, and I learned quite a few new things from them. So thanks for that to everyone who contributed to the videos.

So here is my card that was inspired by Dawn McVey's video. I used Autumn Rose and Summer Sunrise inks, and of course, my favorite flower stamp, the Simple Sunflower.

On this card, I used a similar layout, but used the stamp set from Fillable Frames No. 10 to add a border inside the cutout.

More Caring Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here are more cards I made for Colleen's nursing unit. They each have a motivational phrase on them.

I'd like to take credit for this beautiful card, but I CASed it from a card I saw on Papertrey Ink made by Shelly S. She made a set of stationery using this layout, and her cards were just beautiful. Couldn't help myself.

Hi Everyone,

Here is my card for this week's Colour Q challenge. This card will be joining the many others that will be going to my daughter's nursing unit for the nurses to give to each other for inspiration. There are more cards that I made here.
This is another flower that I bought from Hero Arts that comes with the Sizzix framelits included with the stamps. They are such fun stamps to work with.

Caring Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here are five cards I made this morning for my daughter, Colleen's unit at work.

Hero Arts Flowers

These flowers are from the Hero Arts Floral set. They both have a Sizzix die to go with them, which is terrific. Anyway, these flowers are all colored with the same colors, but the pink background really makes it look completely different.

Vintage Vogue

Hi Everyone,

Here are three cards that are made using the same layout, but different colors. I often make several similar cards because I send them off to OWH. It's actually easier to make several cards using different colors than thinking of new layouts, colors, ideas, etc. Anyway, as you can see, it's fun to see how different colors look with the same layout.

Daffodil Yellow Daisy

Hi Everyone,

Here is my card for this week's Colour Q challenge. I love this color combination, so it's easy to think of lots of cards to make with it.

Graduation Card

Hi Everyone,

After I got home from shopping this a.m., I realized I forgot to get a graduation card, and I'm not venturing out again in this heat. I figured I could do this--his school colors are black and orange, which are not my go-to colors. Luckily, I had some black paper when I bought an assortment from PTI .Making cards for males is always a tough assignment--no bows, minimum frilly stuff. But I think this one turned out pretty great. The inside has a saying from the PTI Dreams set.

Make It Monday Card

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card I made that has the stamped sentiment on patterned paper.
