PTI BLOG HOP!


HI GUYS! It's time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop and I'm excited about this one! I've been using text a lot in my projects since getting the Background Basics: Text Styles set and I was eager to pull it out again and make some new cards with it for the blog hop!


For my first card (yes... I have two cards this time! I love text!) I paired scarlet jewel and smokey shadow cardstock with some Making Memories text patterned paper. I stamped the outline butterfly from Butterfly Kisses with smokey shadow ink onto the MM paper and cut it out. Then I stamped the same image in scarlet jewel ink on scarlet jewel cardstock and layered the two butterflies, attaching them with a pearl brad. I added a flourish from the Fancy Flourishes set and finished it off with a bitty dots scarlet jewel ribbon!
Details: (all PTI unless otherwise noted)
Paper: scarlet jewel, smokey shadow, wedding day patterned paper(making memories)
Ink: smokey shadow, snow white, scarlet jewel
Stamps: Butterfly Kisses, Fancy Flourishes
Other: scarlet jewel bitty dots ribbon, pearl adhesives(recollections), pearl brad(recollections)


For the next card I pulled out my new Everyday Button Bits set- I've only made a couple of cards with it so far, but it is SO MUCH FUN! And I've established quite a "collection" of buttons, if you know what I mean, so I'm happy to be able to use them so easily! I inked up my Background Basics: Text Stlye stamp with the Chamomile ink pad that comes in the Tea Dye Duo and stamped the text on vintage cream cardstock. Next, I stamped the topiary image in chocolate brown ink and added two enchanted evening buttons, tied on with some twine. Had to ink up the edges of the focal image with the Tea Dye Duo- love this product, too!

Details: (all PTI unless otherwise noted)
Paper: kraft, vintage cream
Ink: tea dye duo, enchanted evening, chocolate brown
Stamps: Everyday Button Bits, Background Basics:Text Style
Other: enchanted evening buttons, twine, brown ribbon(michaels), corner rounder


Hope you like my cards! I'm off to get the kiddos to bed so I have plenty of time to browse everybody's blogs! I can't wait!
