God Bless America

Create Along With Us is our opportunity to be inspired by all

the talent at PapertreyInk during release week.

So much inspiration and creativity, it's always hard to pick

one to 'CASE'. 

This month, being close to the 4th of July, I thought Melissa's 

beautiful art piece could be adapted to a card for our 

Independence Day.

Melissa used the new stamps, and new color being released tomorrow.

I loved her layout of 4 postage stamped images, with a center button.

Red, White and blue instead of the frosty pastels Melissa used, but they fit my theme.

Stamped stars from Simple Stars, on die cut 1 1/2" Limitless Layers Squares.

I stamped the circle in Pure Poppy from Red, White & Blue, and layered it with 

the pinked circle from Limitless Layers Circles.

Sentiment white embossed from: Keep It Simple: Bless the USA.

Star Button: A Flair for Buttons.

PTI Inks: Pure Poppy, Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, and Americana

Inside, some fireworks from Red, White & Blue.

Thank you for visiting, and happy crafting!

Create Along With Us: June 2016

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,
