You Have my Heart

Hello Blogland!

I just got my computer back after a long week without it. My phone could only do 

so much and thankfully and hopefully my computer drought is over. 

The first card I'm posting since my computer's return, is this Valentine for PTI's MIM, 

this week hostessed by Michelle Leone. 

She has a lovely video showing how to use 'Lotsa Letters' on our cards.

I gathered some of my seasoned PTI stamps and dies, and worked around a banner

featuring Wet Paint Alphabet letters.

The background is stamped with an oldie called Alphabet Soup. (It's currently 

marked down in the shop!) I forgot how fun this stamp is. The hearts and 

sentiment within the heart are from You Have My Heart, another oldie

with a lot of heart (excuse the punning around!)

That wonderful stitched heart is part of the dies included in the die package. 

The white heart is a Limitless Layers heart.

The Wet Paint letters fit perfectly on the Large Banner. Just a touch of ombre

on both the bg letters and the word Valentine.

You'll find links to the stamps and dies I used below.

Hope your week is full of crafty goodness!

For You

A very quick post, super late with MIM this week.

Just couldn't pass up Michelle Leone's 'Banner-ific' tutorial!

Her banner is darling, such a great idea using our dies.

My banner is for a daughter celebrating a birthday soon.

Get your banner done soon, challenge ends Sunday!

Happy Crafting!

PTI January '18 Blog Hop

Hello! And welcome to PTI's January Blog Hop!

This month we were given this photo for inspiration

Looks like a party to me!

With a celebration of pastels and loads of white.

My card was made from Paper Clippings: Birthday, and some inspiration from 

Amy Sheffer  (Amy Sheffer - June 2016).

I loved Amy's use of the Double Ups Rectangle die together with the Paper Clippings Birthday 

dies cut from white, as though they were connected. 

Background is a handmade stencil from Coverplate: Circles, 

sponge inked with Spring Rain and Lovely Lady.

The circles and diamonds just add to the celebration going on with the 

birthday die cut.

There's so much inspiration from the photo this month. 

Can't wait to see how all of you created your cards! 

Happy Hopping!

Paper Sweeties '12 Days of Christmas', Day 3

Welcome to a special Paper Sweeties Release 

called the 12 Days of Christmas!

Instead of mid month release,

we have 12 days  featuring 

our newest stamps and sweet cuts.

 Hope you have your favorite cuppa handy, 

I have a lot to show you!

1st off, a banner created entirely of Sweet Cuts tree and star from

Merry and Bright.

Top tree cut from October Afternoon's Under the tree.

Cut again from Kraft to adhere to the jute twine.

The bow is from Stitched Tags 2, also cut twice.

Between the 7 trees is a star cut from the new set.

Super fun and easy!

If you have stacks of Christmas dp (like I do), this is a great way to use

all that fun festive paper!

Debbie has sized these trees at a perfect 3 1/2", great for tags,

and like I used them, for a banner. 

Next up features the coordinating stamp set Merry and Bright.

Talk about fun, this set comes complete with garland, lightbulb, ornament,

  tree stand, and several sentiments.

I 'decorated' my tree in pink, (Paper Sweeties pink!)

I added Glossy Accents and glitter to the ornies and bulbs,

and inked up a die cut tree.

Next up is the other new set called Sugar and Spice

Once again, cut from the new Sweet Cuts die set,

stamped with versa mark and white ep,

my pink gingerbread man is happily decorated

with PS chenille canes and PS sequins.

Red zig zag also from the set!

Finally, from the new set, Sugar and Spice tags.

We have a new baby boy in our extended family.

This sweet tag is perfect with blue and white 'icing' 

for Baby's First Christmas.

The snowflake collar is from Homemade With Love.

I gathered 3 stamp sets to create 'Baby's 1st Christmas',

and hand wrote the 's, and st.

Want to see the tag in pink?

Paper Sweeties sequins and twine
