Bloom: Create Along With Us June '18

Create Along With Us: PTI's invitation to case their designer's ideas during

release week.

There's no end to special treats, from color combos to little touches of brilliance!

Melissa Phillips' cards caught my eye on the first day out, particularly this pastel bauble:

From her use of pearls and glitter paper to layers and layers of lovliness, I was hooked!

(get it? Hooked? Under the sea? LOL!)

Enough of me 'fishing' for laughs, here's my take on Melissa's sweet card.

A list of what I used is at the end of my post.

I LOVED using Perfect Pearls on my background, for a subtle texture. 

(Wish you could see the sheen from the pearls) 

And Melissa's idea of the Embossing Enamel was genius! In the air, as well as

under the sea!

Not having the undersea elements (yet!), I used flowers and hummingbird for my

color pop.

Create Along With Us - November

I just love Create Along With Us, PTI's release week case of designer's creations.

The month of November presents us with holiday wonders, florals, new dies, and 

designer papers. Always enchanted with the whole affair!

This month Melissa won my heart with this layered and lovely tag,

 attached to a Pillowbox.

I didn't stray far from Melissa's rustic style and colors.

I did have to improvise, not having the tag, star or new stamps Melissa used... yet.

Started with Tagsale #4, and instead of a star, Damask Snowflakes.

Double Ended Banner stamped with Background Basics: Christmas, an old set that 

fit the banner perfectly.

My sentiment is from Beautiful Berries: Winter, stamped onto the round tag

from Bite Sized Tags.

All those Christmas ferns are from Spruce & Sprigs.

Oh yes and that wonderful Pillowbox die, and I'm ready to present someone 

special with an inserted gift card or small item with holiday flair! 

Melissa, always love your inspiration!

Create Along With Us: October 2016

Create Along With Us, PTI's challenge this month, 

features a new Tiny Town house, with all the Christmas trimmings.

Thought I'd use Betsy's idea for her gumdrop roof.

I love the new candy cane portico and trees, and can't wait to case this and

several other holiday houses I've seen.

I stuck with an all kraft and white theme, similar to what Nichole 

posted as inspiration posted on her blog:

Can't you just smell the gingerbread?

Time for PTI's Create Along With Us

What an amazing release it was! And the best of the best creating

Autumn beauties!

As usual, the hardest part is choosing which beauty to case...

Melissa's blessing card spoke to me. Actually several cards and 

projects won my heart, but as I looked at Melissa's card, I

began to see stamps and dies I could use to maybe recreate 

the feel of her card. Especially love that 'rag bow'.

 

All PTI, except the wood card stock.

Card base 4 x 5 1/2", something I love about Melissa cards, always such 

elongated elegance!

Pretty much kept her composition, with the use of some

 of PTI's older Autumn's favorites.

Have a blessed week!

Hello

Create Along With Us, this month, has so many beauties, it's been

the hardest to pick one to case.

Couldn't take my eyes off Betsy's beauty, featuring the new tropical

stamps and dies, along with some of the dies from last month's release.

Oh my, just look at what she called, 'Hawaiian Shirt background'. 

My 'shirt' needs more practice, but with the steps she laid out 

so perfectly, I'll definitely do again!

Tropical color combos, and Leave It Be stamp and die set, sort of look like 

sea fans....

Woodblock Prints stencils reverse stenciled.

Simple Seashells and Graceful Greetings stamps and dies.

A Set of Tags

Create Along With Us, this week at PTI,

where we get to CASE the fabulous designers!

This is KayMiller's card and tag set featuring a new release,

Color Pop Butterflies, by Betsy Veldman.

Those tags caught my eye!

Using pattern paper and coordinating stamps and dies,

Kay's tags are a quick and easy way to have tags handy 

to pop onto a gift or card.

Honestly, once I got started, it was hard to stop!

I settled on Dawn's Vintage Linen's set, with the matching stamps and dies,

but PTI has many you can choose.

6 came together rather quickly!

The beautiful book of pattern papers give you a list of inks that match.

On a few of them, I doubled the bloom.

Just place the die to hi light the image you want to show,

stamp a sentiment, and pop on the bloom & leaves.

My favorite is the last tag, stamped with the line and full inked Pure Poppy.

Love anything red & white!

The hardest part is choosing what precious papers to part with! LOL!

(At least Vintage Linens can be reordered)
