PTI July '18 Blog Hop

It's Blog Hop time at PapertreyInk, and our inspiration photo is a 

joyous splatter of salt sea pattern and a brilliant combo of unexpected color.

From the first sighting of Reef Builders I was hooked! The detailing is amazing and I LOVE each

and every die to bits!

Lots of layers and plenty of sea elements for a card going to a dear friend.

Hop along all day on the PTI blog. 

Looking forward to waves and waves of inspiration! (couldn't resist!)

Sending Sparkle

Hey everyone, I'm up today with some inspiration on the poppy stamps blog,

Sending Sparkle by Nancy Penir

Hoping you'll pop by and see how my card was created with some of 

their fabulous dies!

So many ways to add sparkle to your cards! And what a fun impact.

Happy Crafting!

Sleigh Bells Ring

Laurie Schmidlin from PapertreyInk has the spotlight this week with her MIM 

tutorial: creating layers on our cards.

Loved it from start to finish. Gave me the nod to create all the lovely layers I want!

Beginning with an Ocean Tides and Pinefeather color scheme, I cased Michelle Phillips'

card using Mix & Mat Plaid, where she edge embossed the corners, as though kissed by snow.

Stampendous Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel has flecks of white, gold and aqua.

The Dash Away All stamp and die set haven't left my table since they arrived. 

I love how the deer seems to take flight no matter where I use him!

Peaceful Pinecones and a big red bow with lots of foam,  just as Laurie instructed,

gives the card my Love of Layers.
