PTI October Blog Hop

Hello and welcome!  Today is the Papertrey Ink October Blog Hop.  This month's blog hop challenge has to do with using non-traditional colors to create a holiday card or project.  Several color combinations and inspiration photos were given but I chose the photo and colors below to create my card.

I kept my card CAS and after looking at the inspiration photo above I knew I wanted to try and do something with circles. I searched through my PTI sets and found two sets that had circles I could stamp along with a snowflake image from the Tremendous Treats Christmas set.  I stamped my circles, then the snowflakes and added glitter to them then used a marker to create a frame around my white panel.  Next I stamped my sentiment and added my die-cut "holiday" and then tied on some bakers twine.  The white and turquoise panels where then popped up using foam tape and attached to the pink card base.

Supplies: Wonderful Words Holiday + dies, Hello Sunshine (large stamped circle), Daydreamer (small stamped circle), Tremendous Treats Christmas (snowflake), Glitter, Bakers twine, Marker, Foam tape.   Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!  

CTD215/DS74 - Ghostly Greetings

 Hello and welcome!  It's time for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge!  Our hostess this week is Lori who chose some fun colors for us to create with along with an adorable inspiration photo.

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Happy Haunting with the coordinating ghost die and for my layout I used the Deconstructed Sketch Challenge #74.  I ended up turning my oval length wise which is different from the sketch challenge but it worked better for my ghost.  If you look at the close up photo below, you can see how I added some shadow and colored the eyes on the ghost using Copic markers and then added some glossy accent to make the eyes pop.

 Supplies: Happy Haunting + die, PTI Halloween dp, Nestie oval dies, Copic markers, Glossy Accent, Ribbon, Embossing folder, Button, Bakers twine, Chevron border die, Foam tape.

SSSC170 - Hey Girlie!

It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #170.  Karen has another great sketch for all of us to create with and we hope you'll play along.

I haven't stamped with a Stamping Bella stamp in quite a while but after seeing my fellow team mate Dana and the cute cards she's created using the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls line I couldn't resist.  This image is so fun and whimsical and gave me an excuse to color with my Copic markers and add a little glitter.  In order for me to stick with the sketch, I die cut only a section of this image (their long legs with high heels are too cute but wouldn't fit) and instead of two banner flags like on the sketch I opted for one banner and a leaf ;)

Supplies: Uptown Girls Pattie & Dottie Friends Forever - Stamping Bella, Copic markers, My Mind's Eye dp, Nestie dies, Prima flower, Button, Glitter, Bakers twine, Banner die & leaf die - PTI, Foam tape.   Be sure to visit each of the Sweet Sunday Stampers below for more samples using the SSS sketch!

CTD214/MOJO263 - Sunshine

Hello there!  Hope you're doing well.  The Color Throwdown team has got another challenge today and we hope you'll play along!  Our hostess for this week's challenge is Joan who chose some cheerful colors for us to create with. 

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Hello Sunshine and Little Bitty Bird and for my layout I used the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #263.  As you can see by my card I only used a splash of the brilliant blue color from the challenge, I knew I wanted to use the hello sunshine set and use yellow as one of my main colors then I wondered how I'd add the blue...little bitty bird to the rescue.

Supplies: Hello Sunshine, Little Bitty Bird + die, Mat Stack die, Cloud die, Scallop border die, Circle punch, Circle Nestie die, MME designer paper, Button, Aqua brush, Foam tape.
