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

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.
