Papertrey Ink Blog Hop May 2015

Hi Everyone,

I spent the first week I got this kit making cards just with this kit. It's that addicting. So here it is in Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette. There are so many ways you can use this kit--I already packaged some cards, put a bow around it, and mailed it to a friend who just had a new baby.

Enjoy!

PTI Don't Forget to Write

Hi Everyone,

Here are serveral cards I made with the new kit from PTI "Don't Forget to Write." It took a while to figure out how to stamp these so that they are perfect, but I finally did it.

Purple Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,

This is a card made with the MFT Fly-By Friends stamp set. The flowers have a stem and leaf attached, but I cut it off and created a bouquet. The yellow flowers and leaves are from the Build-able Bouquet stamp set. This is an easy card to make, but turns out beautiful!

Enjoy!

Aqua Birthday Girl

Hi Everyone,

This birthday girl from Simon Says Stamp is so much fun to color and create with. She's Melody from and Easter stamp set, but there's no reason she can't be used for lots of different events, in this case, a birthday card.

Enjoy!

Paper Dolls

Hi Everyone,

Last month PTI introduced a new series of paper dolls which you store in 4" x 5" metal containers. I bought the stamp set, but then I realized that the dolls are too small for my grandchildren, who are 2 and 4. So I decided to use the same concept using larger dolls.

So I dug through my stamps and came up with some that could make a scene. I stamped and colored the dolls, and then placed them on some adhesive magnetic material. If I had a die, then it was very easy to cut out the magnetic material. If not, then I tried to use my Scan N Cut, but not too happy with the way it turned out. I could be more persistent, but also, just doing a rough cut out is also acceptable.

I divided the dolls between two containers, with the playground scene for the younger girl, and the picnic girl and the spring rain girls for the older girl. There are more girls that I can create and color differently. Also, I am loving that Skater Girl from Avery Elle and Melody from SSS.

Brushed Blooms

Hi Everyone,

I made this card for the PTI Make it Monday event. I used the Brushed Blooms stamp set. The purpose was to do some ink blending on the background, and then superimpose some additional color using a stencil. It turns out very interesting looking.

Enjoy!

Mama Elephant Sunday Stroll and In My Heart Stamp Sets

Hi Everyone,

I made a few cards with the Mama Elephant Sunday Stroll stamp set. A couple of the kids are from the In My Heart stamp set, but the majority are from the Sunday Stroll set. Also, the sentiments are from the Sunday Sentiments stamp set. I'm assuming they were designed to complement each other. I cut the main panel using a stitched die and added a cloud die from MFT and a landscape design from MFT. I used Ranger dye inks to add some color on the panels. I like using the yellow on the main panel to give the ambience of the sun rays.
