Two Cards

Under Construction So please excuse the mess.



Its all about stripes today for PTI


Create a card, tag or layout with a focus on adding dimension.
The ribbon on this card below is Seam Binding – Oatmeal
 from Paper Sweeties 

Wplus9 Birthday card above.
 I may have added way to many dots on this card , but don't you love those gifts with bows! I used Birthday Basics Die and Borders & Backgrounds 3

Below is my Papertrey Ink  Striped card.
 and CAS.ology 
 This is pretty much a CAS card with a bold sentiment and dark cardstock.


This time I masked with washi tape then stamped the Stitches & Swirls Stamp Set and heat embossed, with gold. Then added the sentiment from Mum's the Word Stamp Set

I am also adding this one to

  20. Marybeth - first up - love the new blog banner - you crack me up "excuse the mess" - there's no mess honey. I do know what you mean about workin on the blog (oYvey!what a pita!) Your two cards - love the stitches & swirls embossed on the stripes -and that sentiment doesn't even look stamped- looks like it was printed right on that paper. amazing.And then the next card for Wplus9 challenge. I don't know where to begin - so much sparkle and shimmer - its just so beautiful from the seam binding, to the pearls, the confetti gold bg (you cant have enough of those dots sweetie) and the foil present with the stripey ribbon and the sweet little banner. Love the pink and gold too - i love love love this card.

  23. Dittoing Darnell here... THUD! These are completely breathtaking Marybeth! If I were these companies, I would add you to the design team ASAP :D I love the both, but I have to say that striped one with the embossed stitching is out of this world!

  24. Both cards are so beautifully done! I really like the way your boxes turned out...and the card with the stitching stamps really looks like stitching. Well done!

  25. Marybeth I swear your cards just get better every time I pop by your blog! These two are both absolute stunners...it took me a while to work out how you had done the presents lol and I think you've done the perfect amount of gold spots. The Casology one is just gorgeous...so beautifully subtle in the background but a fabulous bold sentiment. Love it!
