Stripes

Sorry, not the movie, but that's a good one that DH often get sucked into when we see it on TV. What I'm referring to is stripes on a card. That was today's challenge on Nichole's blog for the Papertrey Ink anniversary celebration.







I used BB: Stripes to make the peach stripe (Fresh Ink Melon) and the Spring Rain stripes. I then stamped "happy birthday" from Birthday Basics (love that set! so versatile!) in Enchanted Evening. Super quick and simple and flat for mailing.

Happy birthday Papertrey Ink!

The birthday celebration continues at Papertrey Ink. Today's challenge was to create a birthday card for Papertrey Ink and then send it to the warehouse staff for all their hard work picking and packing all our fun goodies!

Here's my card, CASEd shamelessly from a Melissa Phillips project. I so admire her projects - all those beautiful layers - but I'm a CAS girl at heart and unless I have a road map, I just don't know how to add all those cute things like she does.

Here's my card...





I added some glitter from my Wink of Stella pen but I'm afraid you can't see it clearly in the pictures. Trust me that it looks great in person! ;)



Hope you're enjoying the PTI festivities.

Papertrey Ink - Monthly Moments Trading Card

I'm on a roll today! This is my fourth post!

Here's my entry for today's challenge to make a 3" x 4" Monthly Moments trading card. Since Valentine's Day is near I went with a love theme. I included some traditional and non-traditional colors in my card today, but I think it works and it's fun. The clover is a wee nod to my Irish hubby.





I used the Alpha Blocks stamp set along with the coordinating die to make a "window" for the yellow polka dot paper and the l-o-v-e letters - it was just the right size! A little washi tape along the bottom, a punched heart, and "lucky" from Wonderful Words die collection finishes it off.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Papertrey Ink MIM #151 Drop Shadow Die Cuts

Here's my entry for this week's Make It Monday challenge. I shamelessly copied Betsy's sample almost exactly. :o

Also, this is only 3" x 4", so it can be an embellishment on a card or on a tag. Whatever I want!





Let me know if you have any questions about the supplies. Thanks for looking.
