PTI January '19 Blog Hop

Welcome!

It's Blog Hop time at PapertreyInk, and we were given this inspiration:

Didn't stray far from the photo, and came up with a cake set in layers of black

& white & gold.

The stylized 'Happy Birthday' script is one of my PTI favorites!

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!

Sprinkled With Love

Make It Monday and Ashley showing us how to 

curve our sentiments.

Ashley's video can be seen here:

Make It Monday #279: Curved Sentiments

I made a birthday card, and added my curved 'Sprinkled With Love'

all around the oval frame.

Scallop frame: Shakers and Sprinkles (Make It Market kit)

Cake: Just Desserts

Cake Plates dies

Sentiment: Just Desserts Sentiments

Coin purse and card, NBUS Challenge#7

Love playing along with Darnell Knauss, and her NBUS challenge,

#7, anything goes,

Made a card and coin purse to house a gift card for 

a friend's birthday.

Haven't used this darling cake from PTI called Colorful Treats.

During it's release, Erin Lincoln did the cake in chocolate with an aqua icing.

Loved it, but colored mine in raspberry, then added pink german glass glitter.

Glossy accented the dollop of cream. 

Also added the Cover Plate: Awning as Erin did on her card, doing mine in

Raspberry Fizz and Stormy Sea.

Just ordered the dies for the Coin Purse (PTI), and love it! 

A 'NBUS' for me,

So many possibilities, 

can't wait to do more in other color combos.

This one in Canyon Clay, Smoky Shadow, and Vintage Cream.

It holds a gift card.

Decorated with Sewing Staples: Sewing Clusters,

and an aqua button from PTI's Vintage Holiday Mix.

Happy 40th, David!

40th birthday of a SIL, prompted my card for MIM this week,

hosted by Amy.

She shows us 'Faux Brush Lettering'.

Amy stamped a large scripted sentiment, but I chose a smaller 

(Fancy Pants) 

to go with my birthday themed card, trying hard to keep along the lines of the happy birthday script, and went outside the lines with 

the swirly yellow border.

Finally got to ink up Just Desserts, and die cut Big Birthday Candles.

Tried to keep it masculine with some stars (Paper Clippings: Congrats), 

and side stripes (Plaid Builder).

Sunrise Impression Plate 

Inks: PTI Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal, Harvest Gold, Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet.

Cardstock: Stampers Sellect, Aqua Mist & Shimmer Cardstock.

Amy's beautiful example card and video can be seen on Nichole's blog,
