The thing is...if you are a PTI fan, you probably have felt and dies in your stamp arsenal, right? :) Well, with those tools paired with a sewing machine or a needle and thread you can create your very own, custom-made puffies (for lots less too!). Want to see an example?
After I had them sewn together, I added some black rhinestones to mimic watermelon seeds. So easy! Just think of how many other dies you could do this with! Flowers, butterflies, clouds, balloons, etc... Get the picture? :) You could even sew a pattern on the watermelon or other fruit!
Here are a few other details on the card:
I used the Cane Impression Plate to give the clouds dimension and texture and then popped it up with pop dots.
After I stamped the polka dotted "clouds" I used a clear Spica Glitter Pen to add some subtle glitter to each dot. Just a fun little extra.
I hope that this idea inspires you!! I'd LOVE to see your "puffies" if you make some! You can send me an email or leave me a comment with a link to your post so I can see what you come up with! I think it could be addicting!! :) I have another card to share with you using this same idea soon! Hopefully it will post early next week!
I hope your day is full of blessings! Thank you for stopping by!

I had a set of these in my hand yesterday ! Well not those exactly, but the puffies. I decided not to get them because I have a PTI cart that is bulging full and I am just obsessing on those PTI dies !
Love what you do here , thanks for sharing your time with us.

Seriously the sweetest things I have ever seen. I have bookmarked this card, such a great idea, CAS, but with so much interest. I loved it with the big polka dot background.
So, so cute, Jen. Love it all, but was especially enamored with the Spica glitter pen lines on the polka dots. What a fun extra! Thanks for all the great inspiration!
