December Blog Hop!

Blog-hop-logo 
December-inspiration 
The color white evokes a feeling of clean crispness that can't be replicated with any other color.  With winter and snow upon us, there couldn't be a more perfect time to embrace this beautiful color and the blank canvas it creates.  With color taken out of the creative equation, there is no limit to what you can do.  Your challenge is to create a white-on-white card.  While you can add small pops of color or touches of neutrals, the main focus of your project should be the color white.  Layer die-cuts, mix textures created with impression plates, combine multiple ribbon styles, dazzle with rhinestones & pearls, think white heat-embossed patterns and so much more.

What is more fun than a new white sweater for Christmas!

I decided I like this card san sentiment.

 Supplies:
PTI Sweater die, Stamper Select White CS, Ocean Tide buttons, Notched Flower die, vellum, Aida IP.

Make It Monday #87: Stamping Alphabets with Die Cuts

This week Papertrey Design team member Heather Nichols shows how to create your own alphabet stamps from your die-cuts Check it out at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d_SOFfpx1zY
Anyway all week I have been trying to decide how best to use the information from this video and make a fun card, you see I do not own any alphabet dies. So finally today I figured out a way to make my own alphabet dies from the Papertrey products I do own.
From the dies on the left I cut from foam and adhered to caps these few letter to make the word "peace"
Thus creating this card
I added felt snowflakes cut from the Winter Penguin set and a piece of Pure Poppy patterned paper.
These fun MIM videos help ones in thinking WAY outside the box to create some very fun cards.
Thanks Heather for the inspiration! Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week.

September Blog Hop




Blog-hop-logo 
 This month it is all about wrapping it up.  Whether you are preparing early for the holidays or have an upcoming birthday or two, have fun experimenting with fabric & felt packaging ideas.
9-25-blog-hop-challenge

Use a pretty piece of fabric like you would wrapping paper and make a custom tag to coordinate with it.  Not into sewing or gluing?  Wrap a kitchen towel or cloth napkin around a special bottle of wine and top it off with a hand-stamped gift label.  Or rip a strip of fabric to use in place of ribbon and finish it with a pretty handmade gift card.

This month is all about wrapping it up. For my Blog Hop challenge card I took a piece of fabric and made a fun ribbon bow on my card.
