ColourQ #32

This week's color combination at ColorQ was my inspiration for this card.

I inked up the Papertrey Ink Round & Round anniversary set for this card.



I also repurposed a container that originally held Making Memories blossoms into a cute little gift holder. I used the same dotted stamp on vanilla cardstock and backed it with green and kraft.


Supplies Used:
cardstock: Prism (green), Club Scrap (vanilla) and Bazzill (orange and kraft)
stamps: Papertrey Ink (Round & Round)
die: Papertrey Ink (Mat Stack 1)
ink: Clearsnap (rousillon), Palette (jardin moss) and Versafine (onyx)
jewels: Doodlebug
corner rounder: Creative Memories
border punch: Fiskars
foam adhesive: Creative Memories

May Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

patterned paper: Scenic Route Lynden

Another Page Maps sketch card

Here's one more card using the Page Maps blog sketch. I played with ruffling ribbon on this one. It looks pretty neat with the organza ribbon.
Supplies Used:
cardstock; Bazzill
patterned paper: American Crafts
stamp: Papertrey Ink (Scattered Showers)
ink: Papertrey Ink (fresh snow)
embossing powder: Stewart (detail white)
ribbon: Wrights

Hip Hip Hooray

Page Maps is having a card sketch contest on its blog.
This is my take on the sketch. I made this card for my cousin's graduation and used his school's colors for the card.

I made my own patterned paper with the mortar board stamp to meet the Papertrey Pixies May challenge.


Supplies Used:
cardstock: Bazzill
stamps:Papertrey Ink (For the Graduate and Fillable Frames #3)
die: Papertrey Ink (Mat Stack 1)
ink: Palette
embossing powder: Stewart (detail white)

Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop

This is my first time participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
Thank you for stopping by.
This month's challenge is to use tissue paper. I decided to pleate the tissue paper to make a border. I sewed it to a strip of cardstock to hold it in place. Using the sewing machine always scares me because I don't really know what I'm doing. I need more practice, I think.
Hop on to the blog hop thread on the Papertrey Ink forums to see more great projects using tissue paper.
Supplies Used: cardstock: Bazzil and DCWV
patterned paper: October Afternoon
stamps: Scattered Showers, Papertrey Ink and Imaginesce
ink: Versafine (black) and CTMH (red velvet)
corner rounder: Creative Memories
foam adhesive: Creative Memories
