Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone, but most especially to my mom. I made this card for her because she loves the color blue and loves flowers. Love you momma!

Some Christmas Cards ...

I'm late in posting these, but here are some of the Christmas cards I made this year. 

These were all made using mainly Papertrey Ink products.

The "Holy Night" card was made using kraft & white cardstock by Papertrey Ink. I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set "Star of Wonder" and stamped in their ink color Dark Chocolate. Also used was red cardstock with Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, and red/white bakers twine.

The Santa Have a Merry Christmas card was made using PTI white cardstock, stock black cardstock and My Mind's Eye Christmas Navidad paper & red/green bakers twine. I used Papertrey Ink stamp colors Simply Chartreuse & Spring Rain, Staz On Red ink, Momento black ink, PTI stamp sets: Snowflake Flurries, Winter Snow Globe, and Think Big Favorites #20. I colored the Santa using copic markers R27, B00 & G99.

The Ornament Have Yourself a Merry Christmas card was made using PTI white cardstock, a strip of My Mind's Eye Christmas Navidad paper, red/green bakers twine, Momento Red and Black Ink, PTI ink color Simply Chartreuse. I also used Papertrey Ink stamp set Holiday Button Bits & Happiest of Holidays.

My final card was, believe it or not, the hardest to make. I had to use masking which I had never done before. I totally scraplifted this card from Maile Belles who is on Papertrey Ink's design team .. click here to see it. I used Kraft & white cardstock from Papertrey Ink. My ink colors were Momento Red ink, and PTI's Simply Chartreuse and Dark Chocolate. The PTI stamp sets used were: Peaceful Pinecones, Think Big Favorites #20, and Background Basics: Super Stripes.

Finally ... Crafting Again!

I've been away from crafting for a bit and have really missed it! I made a card the other day for my sweet friend, Robyn, who wasn't feeling well. Of course, by the time she got the card I think she was all better. 

I have discovered Papertrey Ink  (PTI) and am in love with their stamps and dies!! I used their new stamp "Comfort Food Stamp Set" and the dies for that stamp set, the "Button Up Stamp Set" and dies, the tag is from the die set Tag Set #7, and the new "Sew Simple Borders Mini Stamp Set. The inks I used were Tim Holtz Distressed Ink: Festive Berries, Momento Ink: Tuxedo Black & London Fog, and Papertrey Ink: Harvest Gold. The paper is from Pinecone Press: Disneyish Happy Collection and Kraft cardstock from PTI.
