Water colored sunset with heat embossing for the stamp set masculine motifs from PTI.   The little bit of sparkle is from my daughter's (4yr old) watercolors that I used. She got messy and mixed glitter in the paint. So my sunset has some sparkle too

Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop challenge

A watercolored background with heat embossing for make it monday but is also spring like, and thus entered into the paper trey in blog hop challenge!

For my mother who LOVEs green and nature, so this will be her Mother's day card.  The old Joanne Fabric embossing powder was the worst ever and I have thrown it in the trash.  I hate how it worked out, but I know my mom will still love it.  I must get some better quality white powder!

Make It Monday pocket card

I went to Target today and finally found that deco tape everyone has found and are using!  So of course I got all three package colors. (some are seen on the left  :))

So I am finally getting around to the pocket card on the make it monday challenge at Papertrey Ink and just made this gender neutral card for any celebration.  No sketch, no inspiration, just me trying to be creative.  And...just to let you know...blank areas on the inside card is to make sure that we have room to put our names....and might actually attach a gift card in the middle over the tape...just have to decide how it looks!

SUPPLIES:
The outside has a scallop patterned paper 12x12-- origin unknow-- that I cut out by hand.

Target "washi" tape.  (I use the quotation marks because I know it is just printed/colored masking tape!)

The rest is Papertrey Ink:
framed out 2
postmark background basics
Think Big 13
Twine

3 patterned paper challenge from papetrey ink for the make it monday.  4th card tonight and I had to go masculine.  2 papers are from one pack yellow bicycle travler, the third is from echo park stripes and dots....it was a scrap.  And actually the main focus paper was actually from a random 12x12 I found on clearance.
Border punch from joannes
Sentiment papertrey ink "think big favorites 13" set.

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday

3 patterned papers challenge.  I did a cross between the scrap bin and a paper pack.  Might have done the tone on tone too but I didn't have enough variety in my paper packs....have always been a more clean and simple gal.

Make it Monday CHallenge of the 3 patterned papers

Bling it on Challenge at the Paper Shelter is why she has such a sparkly tailfeathers....I wouldn't have done that without the challenge, so I guess it was a good thing I entered....I love the sparkle bling.  I might even add a few extra rhinestones in the centers of the flowers on the Birdie...hmmm.

Fab n Funky is asking for new beginnings and since I have no reason for a new something card...I have used my new stamp set of the Tweet Tweet from Papertrey Ink.  

Sketch Saturday is where I got my sketch.  Love where it led me on this card.  Love the look.  CAn't wait to give this to someone.

And the colors were inspired by the Bright bold colors challenge of the Paper Pretties

Supplies:

Patterned papers from echo park, spring time and dots and stripes
Tweet Tweet stamp and Tiny Tags from Papertrey Ink
SU dark pink (don't know name anymore)
Stickles on the tail
Black embossing powder
Yea!  Fun card!  :)  thanks for looking!

May Papertrey Ink Blog hop...masculine

This is the photo inspiration for the Papertrey Ink's May Blog Hop.

I am still trying to make a male card every time I do any female card.  It is not as good as my first.  At least in the way of matching the inspiration photo, but I am sure it will be loved as a fathers day car.
Supplies:
Clear embossing chevron stamp on the black cs, white circle embossed with embossing folder...kinda like stripes, don't know name...celebrate stamp set and die with masculine motif sentiment for the happy fathers day.


These are the challenges that I will be entering this card into beyond the pti blog hop!

Simon Says stamps  Special Male CArd
Charisma Cardz Challenges us to use no flowers

May Blog Hop for Papertrey Ink

Here is the photo inspiration for the may pti blog hop.

Here is my first interpretation.

Supplies used....

All pti cardstock

Stamps: frilly flowers, out on a limb for sentiment, houndstooth

tools: mat stack 4 and layerz and frilly flowers dies, lace impression plate

White embossing powder


I think next I will try and do a black background one...se what I come up with in an hour or so more...but  I like this photo and love the colors and simplicity it insprires in me, so I am running on this one trying to make as many as I can tonight!  I made this half as my kids were getting ready to go out to eat, finished it while they "watered" the plants...aka, half of themselves...and got half the posting done while doing teeth and jammies!  Now they are asleep and I want to try and get more done!  I am motivated!  :)

My first rosetta/rolled flower

This week at Papertrey Inks make it monday challenge, they challenged us to use border dies to make felt rosettes.  My first time ever even USING a rosette on a card.  I am really out of my confort zone!

Krafting kimmie challenge was a sketch and I got my new little fairy from 7 kids college fund online store (paid for from a CHALLENGE I won last week!!!)  today in the am, so I was really excited to ink her up!

I felt the flowers and hummingbird made this card work for a "in the garden" challenge at the Secret Crafter Saturday challenge.

Isabella the fairy fits the "fairy, angel"challenge at Sweet Stampin Challenge.

The fairy wings and the humming bird are covered in sickles gives the sparkle which is the Cute Card Thursday challenge.

Supplies:
Sweet Blush Papertrey Ink Cardstock
Echo Park Patterned paper dots/stripes
SU brown Cardstock
Spellbinders Oval and Oval Scallop dies
Joannes Pink Felt
Papertrey Ink Border Die: Rick Rack
Papertrey Ink Frilly Flowers Leaf dies
Copic markers, Stickles

Design one, case three day!

So, I decided I needed to stamp tonight and inked up some stamps that had never been touched, some lightly used and one used a lot!

I had made these diecut flowers for the Papertrey Ink Make it monday color challenge and never made a card with them.  So I did tonight.

But, then I did a big oops when I stamped the inside!  Hehe...
Stamps used:  PTI: Frilly Flowers (matching) dies), sentiment from Heart to Heart #2

I am entering into the Flower Power Challenge at Sweet Stampin

Used stamp set/dies from PTI for bird called Tweet Tweet and the oval/scallop are spellbinders

Colors were based off the MIM color challenge again, the picture inspiration is above.

I had never used the medallion stamps and just love them, but never got them out....so Off to case I did.    Used blueberry sky pti ink and cs.  sentiment is from masculine motifs.  Mendi medallion stamp set is also from pti.  I love that I got a manly card done today! 

Entering into the following challenges:
All Sorts Challenge Blog --for a man
Totally Papercrafts:  No pesky Girls allowed
Pixie Dust Studio Challenge: for the boys

  I used  the colors from the color challenge above again to do this medallion make a wish card.  I used the rule of three to make sure I had 3 of every color to help balance it out and it really made the difference!  I really like the way it turned out and love the colors together.  Raspberry fizz, summer sunrise, enchanted evening (I don't have royal velvet, figured the enchanted evening is pretty close!)  No poppy, too simple of card for too many colors!

Masculine birthday color challenge

Wow....creating original designs are just so much more difficult to do then just CASEing someone!

I have really been challenged...I think/hope in a good way in stretching my creativity in doing cards from scratch as challenged by the Make it Monday challenge of using color inspiration!

The picture of the color inspiration uses the following colors (I leave out vintage cream)
Kraft
Terracotta
Aqua
Linen
I chose this color combo because I thought it was the closest to being Masculine compared to the others!

I always try to make a masculine card when I am working on cards because I need them just as much in my life as the others!

I am not sure I like the leaves in right side and right bottom (which are covered).  but it is done and I hope it passes my husband's okay for guy enough so I can use it for my married nephew's birthday coming up! :)

Products Used:  all pti unless designated
Cardstock:  Kraft, linen, terracotta, aqua 
inks:  ranger distress inks vintage photo, antique linen, pti aqua
stamps:  masculine motif set, postmarks backgrounds set
others:  framed out 3 die, linen thread, spellbinder circle die, stars border die, sewing machine

I am also entering it into several other Challenges as follows....

Fab n Funky Maleness challenge...well, it is hopefully full of male ness
Simon Says STamp Birthday challenge...it does say happy birthday
Papertake weekly Anything Goes...think it qualifies :)
