PTI May Blog Hop

It's May 25, and time for PTI's Blog Hop!

Hope you have a cup of your favorite, and are snuggled somewhere comfy,

I have a lot to show you.

1st of all, Nichole's inspiration:

Endless inspiration, right?

Color, confetti, ombre, square shape, graphic style... endless!

Initially I went with blocks of color, and the mosaics die from the Ancient Rome set

in Stamp-A-Faire '14. Haven't seen this set since last summer!

Lizzie showed us how to use the die to create a stencil.

Re-inkers colored translucent Wendy Vecchi embossing paste.

So much fun revisiting this Stamp-A-Faire set!

What would it look like in warm colors?

Thank You from: Thank You Kindly, 

gold scribble die cut from: Circle Scribbles.

Oh that was fun, but, um, there's more.

Next card done in pastels,

and cascading color. 

Clear embossed the butterflies first, then sponge inked the bg colors.

Die cut and embossed the smaller butterfly from: Make It Market You Are a Masterpiece

Double Ended Banner, Thank Your from: Topiary Trio.

That fun ombred side panel paper also from MIM: You're a Masterpiece.

And then my PTI order came!

Couldn't wait to play with Make It Market: Garden Gild.

With watercolor paper, and watercolors, ombred a full sheet, before die cutting the cover plate,

(use a shim!). Then watercolored a background to place the top and bottom corners,

which were cut away from the rim.

Just had to see what that gorgeous cover plate looked like 

die cut in white.

This time on an inked bg.

Are you still with me? 

Just one more!

Feather Finery embossed in gold (dots in silver), 

Thank You: Thank You Kindly,

gold stripe bottom from: Gold Luxe Foil Pattern Paper

If you've stayed with me through all 6 cards, 

I wish I had a medal to give you! 

We who play each month love seeing the creativity and LOVE

being inspired by each other, (don't we?)

I'm off to visit all the other entrys.

Have a wonderful, restful Memorial Day,

and don't forget to thank God for all those who made this

day of enjoying our freedom possible!

Hugs!

Tag You're It! Challenge #22

New tag challenge time at Tag You're It!

And we have this wonderful tag courtesy Lynn Put

I was inspired by every sweet detail,

and created this tag:

Can't wait to see what you are inspired by; the strawberries?, the bright red & green?, 

the double tag?,  the country gingham, hearts, or all of the above?

Play along for a chance to be a guest designer with Tag You're It!

Here's my recipe for this tag:

Paper Sweeties Emma and Sweet Cuts: Emma

Paper Sweeties outfit is from: Thanks Berry Much

PTI: cardstock, Bookmark 3 die, tiny tag

Mama Elephant Balloon and sentiment from: Party Kit Stamps and die

Twine

heart charm

The Card Concept #35 Frilly & Fabulous!

Very inspired by the inspiration over at the Card Concept.

With this photo,

and the incredible card by

Angela Maine,

I went with the silver fork.

Sometimes you have to go with what inspires!

I created a wallpaper of forks with a Clearstamp vintage kitchen set,

also using their smaller cutlery on the strip of kraft paper.

Wrapped the card in silver tulle, also distressing edges a bit with Encore's Ultimate Metallic Silver.

We played with fussy cutting our own shapes at PTI this week, with Ashley Canon Newell,

perfect timing to add a sentiment to this Anniversary or Wedding card.

'Always' from Brushed Blooms. (PTI)

My flower is created from Spellbinders: A Gilded Life, Urban Blooms,

which allows cutting and embossing.

I added the silver tips and pearls to PTI's Shimmer Cardstock.

I actually die cut 3 flowers, but couldn't fit the other 2 them in!

However did manage to do a flower with 3 layers!

Have to go with Classy & Elegant like my muse, Angela!

Play along with the Card Concept here:

Card Concept #35 {Frilly & Fabulous}

MIM #212 Fussy Cutting Tips

Playing along with Ashley this Monday morning, 

as she shares her fussy cutting tips.

Worked with the Strawberry Patch and Strawberry Patch Sentiments sets,

and fussy cut the created sentiment.

Scallop frame from Make It Market: Shakers and Sprinkles.

I finished the card without the ribbon,

but then decided to add it.

What do you think?

To beribbon, or not to beribbon,

that's the question.

Paper Sweeties May Release Party!

It's party time at Paper Sweeties, and today's the day you 

can purchase the stamps and dies you've seen!

The stamp set I'm featuring today is called 'MVP'.

Jake is ready to play ball in his new baseball uniform, 

complete with bat, ball, and super sentiments.

I put him on a mound die cut from kraft card stock from Sweet Cuts: Tree of Life.

The white mound is die cut from SC: Fun shapes (hexagon die), cut in half,

and the clouds from Showering with Love.

The sweet tweeting bird is from: Home Tweet Home.

Know a little baseball fan who you'd like to honor?

This set is full of fun images, including a trophy!

Hope you've enjoyed the release party, and all the inspiration.

But it's not over. Come back tomorrow to see the rewind!

And a quick reminder to play along with the Paper Sweeties challenge for a chance

to win a gift certificate AND a guest designer spot with PS!

You have the rest of May to join the fun.
