Cast All Your Cares

Hello!  How is everyone?  Did all of you PTIers survive the release last night?  I have to say that I am very glad that I have some birthday money to spend because with all those banners...well, I spent more than I would have usually but I am very excited to get my new goodies!

I have another card to share with you today.

I love these colors together...so crisp and clean.  I used the Giga Guidelines Impression plate on the white piece and the Guidelines Impression plate on the aqua mist panel.  It was so easy to know where to stamp my guideline images using this impression plate! 

The sentiment is from Verve (I borrowed Laurie's stamp for this...thanks Laurie!). 

Have a great day today! I'm keeping this post short because I have so much to do today!! Oh, and on a fun note the ladies from our church are meeting tonight to play Bunko...With a Clash!  Everyone is suppose to wear outfits that clash!! It's going to be so much fun! I can't wait to see how everyone dresses (and who chickens out too!!).  LOL!!!  Enjoy your day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!! I have quite a few things to share with you today and so this post is quite photo heavy!  Last week I needed to make quite a few thank you cards and so I wanted to make a design that I could easily mass produce!  Well, a one-layered card would have been perfect but I was feeling a little more ambitious than that, so I made quite a few small embellishments that I could layer on top of each other. 

The first thing I started with were these:

Oh how FUN!!! I went through my PTI buttons and found the perfect sized buttons in lots of different colors!  I used a flower punch to punch the shapes from an old book and from old sheet  that I picked up at an antique shop for a quarter!  I had so much fun making these and they went so fast!  I have quite a few left over to use on future projects too!  Next on my list is to make these with felt and twine from The Twinery!!

I made 20 or so cards just like these!  I went through all my PTI scrap cardstock pieces and found scraps just the right size for the borders and used a border punch on them.  I also used a quickutz folder to emboss the background (yes, that got old running all those through the Big Shot I have to admit, LOL!).

 
It was so fun mixing different color combination together, some of which I never would have thought of but since the button is such a small splash of color, there were so many possibilities that would work and not overwhelm the card! 

These were fun to make! I love how just adding a tag to your card can really dress it up fast!

Also, I just added some new button rings to my Etsy shop (several of which use PTI's buttons!!) and wanted to share those with you real quick.  If you are interested in visiting my shop, you can click on the Etsy link to the right or click here.

Everything But the Kitchen Sink & a Bday Bash

Hello everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days!! I have been busy working on projects and have neglected my blog!!

I have a card to share with you today.  I made this several days ago for the Everything But the Kitchen Sink color challenge & Wee Memories Birthday Bash challenge but have had a terrible time photographing it! 

I love this color combo!  Gray is so hot right now and paired up with Hawaiian Shores it is such a striking combination!

Here's a closeup of the white and silver pearls!  I love adding them to these medallions!  The polka dotted paper is a dark gray even though it almost appears black in the photo.  I am loving, loving these lacy circles from Nestabilities!  So much fun!  This one was layered onto a white circle to change up the look a little and make it more doily like to match the medallion.  I used my copics to color in a few select sections of the medallion.

The color scheme we were to use from the Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge was:

And the Wee Memories Birthday Bash Challenge:

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I hope you enjoyed today's card!  Have a beautiful day!

Monday Mojo 163, Take Two

Hi everyone!  I wanted to share another card that I made based on Verve's Monday Mojo sketch. 

I stuck with the same color combination that I used for the other Mojo card that I made and even used the same stamps.  For this card, I turned the sketch on its side to change things up a bit and went with a softer look.

Here is the sketch that the card is based off of:

It's very hard to see, but I used my spica clear glitter pen on the edges of each of the leaves.  It adds such a nice, subtle sparkle in real life.  That is one thing that I love about those pens!! They are nice and soft and not overly distracting or bright.  If you don't have the clear one, I highly recommend getting one! :)

Well, I'm keeping this post short and simple!  I hope you have a great day! I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by my blog today!  Thank you!
