Love Both Sets of Stitches and Swirls

 I am adding both of these to the challenge today.
Make a Birthday Card for PTI

 Two cards . 


All the products are from Papertrey Ink, but the sequins.
I used 7 things: two stamps two papers and 3 inks and it took less than 17 Min.


I used Propose a Toast  and Stylish Sentiments: Birthday On the card above.

I loved having these color recipe otherwise I don't think I would have combined these colors. Thanks Papertrey Ink!

 I so loved stamping this card below ( both of them really)


Edited to try and show the birthday is cut out of gold paper 
not black.


I had so much fun with this set. At first I was not sure what to stamp first. So I went to Nichole’s blog and she explained it was easier to stamp the stitches first. I heat embossed my stitches in gold, then stamped.  You will be seeing lots of this… I tend to over do something I love. For some reason my red is not as red as it should be … must be the iphone photo. 

Hope you enjoy your day and weekend.

 Happy 4th Birthday Wplus9!

I guess this would have been a good comfort zone card for me .


 I took this photo last night with just a tiny bit of light left. I use the water coloring technique shown on the link above. I love how it gives these flowers a much softer look. I think I had a bit of alcohol left in my spray bottle.  Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. I used Coming Up Roses with the matching die and Basic Banners

Thanks for taking a look!

Just a Note

 Edited to add a blue card for CAS-ual Fridays.
Thanks Lindsey


Hi... back again with a second card for both The Card concept and ColourQ
I made today a craft only day!

You can see my First Card



My First card for ColourQ


This blue card was taken with my iphone 
 I used my stampShenanigans I was in a bit of a hurry with this one. The pink is a little better. So many possibilities with this 


Same card just a bit of a different view.


Very CAS monochromatic card.  I used my Heart Note from 
CAS-ual Fridays and the sentiment is from ….Stamps by Judith
Take Care 
Paper … Papertrey Ink

Wplus9



 This card is totally in my comfort zone!






 I would say my card is clean and layered? 
Unless the chicken wire cancels that out.
 Edited to say maybe this is not quite all monochromatic. Hope it's ok based on some of the D.T. cards.  I know This  one is.


Happy 4th  Birthday  Wplus9 ! I placed my order last night…. never want something to be sold out. 
Click the link above for all the details. 
 I stamped this wreath on vellum then embossed it. I really like the way this turned out in person. 

and matching dies from Wplus9
 Papertrey Ink impression plate.

Food For The Soul




Welcome to a new month long challenge. The challenge is to use newsprint or  sheet music somewhere on your card. 

The DT was asked to also use a food related stamp. 
I used food for the soul. Bread and Chalice Cling Set



 For the inside of my card I used :May The Peace of the Lord


I made this card last week and forgot to post it. 
Can you see a bit of a heart shape with the ovals?
I used Heart Bouquet and Love You Small from Serendipity Stamps. I cut a small slit on either side of the bouquet pulled the ribbon through and tied the bow.

Thank you for all your very kind comments on the blog hop. 
I love this stamp set and it will be used many times in my family. 
First I stamped the entire image on white , then on a piece of gold vellum . I embossed the vellum, added some foam tape and placed it over the stamped image. I also used Stitched Mats                  Trying to keep this one simple and elegant for the occasion of a First Holy Communion.
40% off your highest item now through Feb. 14.
