Sweet Pea Baby Card

 

Hello!

Last Friday I placed my order with The Greetery and their release, New Beginnings.

Monday my order was in the mailbox! Bravo, Betsy!

My first card with this new release is a baby card. I'm so happy to see the

addition of cards for babies included in the line. I for one was in need of

some fresh product.

Hello Sweet Pea is going in my stash of baby cards, which has 0 cards 

at the moment, and I can't wait to do more with this release!

Nestled in a pea pod, and then in a wreath, the sleeping pea is just the cutest!

All die cuts cut from white cardstock,  and inked.

The Flower Challenge: Birthday Celebration and Use a Shape

I'm so excited to be playing along with a favorite challenge blog, The Flower Challenge,

where they are celebrating their 5th birthday. Along with all the festivities and prizes,

they've asked us to use a shape on our cards.

 

The shape of my card is the gorgeous Hourglass from the Greetery. I've paired it 

with the Greetery's Winterberry Bouquet. 

.

The card is a shaker, filled with sweet snowflakes and chunky glitter. The berry set

is a series of stencils and stamps. There's even a mask for for berry bouquet, which

I used over my image before sponge inking the background.

I added some sprigs and a blossom with berries to the front of the hourglass, with

a banner greeting.

The final step was the addition of Nuvo Glimmer Paste.

Happy Birthday Flower Challenge gals!

Play along through the 25th. 

Have a great and crafty weekend!

Create Along With Us: March

Hi there! It's time again for 'Create Along With Us' During PTI's release, we are challenged

to case the talented designers, showcasing all the

wonderful new product.

My card came from Betsy's Veldman's card featuring a new corner stamp, coming

out this month.

Betsy embossed her lovely card front with a die, giving her centered image just that extra 'pow'!

Loved it! Loved too, the florals circling the framed sentiment.

Here's my case:

If you click on the products they link directly to PapertreyInk's stamps dies and inks.

Embossed frame is the outer die from Papertrey Ink - Mix & Mat: Pretty Brackets Die

Now the corner frame took a bit of doing. It's part of Papertrey Ink - Grand Finale Die,

(couldn't find it in their shop. Could be discontinued, but the dies are available.)

I masked the bottom of the die, stamping just the top to resemble a corner.

The florals are a mix of Grand Finale and the new Anniversary set:

2018 Anniversary Stamp Set: Mixed Bouquet

And a sentiment from a new favorite:

Penned Elegance Stamp Set, so many beautifully scripted sentiments in this set!

Here's a list of the inks I used:

Perfect Match Lilac Grace - Inkpad,

Perfect Match Lovely Lady - Inkpad,

Perfect Match Autumn Rose - Inkpad,

Perfect Match Prairie Grass - Inkpad,

Perfect Match Smokey Shadow - Inkpad

My thank you card goes in the mail today to a special aunt who never forgets a

birthday or anniversary. She always tucks away some money for pizza, she says, in

her cards. Such a thoughtful thing after 48 years of marriage!

Play along at PTI's blog through Sunday!
