PTI April Blog Hop Challenge

I used Lauren's template, Perfect Match Box, to make this. My parents will be visiting in a few weeks time, so I'm going to fill this little box with some chocolates and leave it on my Mum's bedside table in our guest bedroom!

I used the following supplies to decorate the box (I apologize in advance for any wrong names/spellings, my little one has been a monkey all day, not to mention the husband, I'm just pooped!):

Paper: PTI white cardstock.

Inks: Summer Sunrise, Hibiscus Burst, Ripe avocado, Spring Moss.

Stamps: Green Thumb

Ribbon: Hibiscus Burst bitty dot, Martha Stewart bakers twine.

Other: Martha Stewart punch, Ranger clear embossing powder.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's creations. Happy Blogging!

Birthday Wishes Card

This is a b-day card I made for my aunt. Hopefully it will make its way to England without the buttons falling off!

All the supplies used were PTI apart from the bakers twine on the buttons (Martha Stewart).

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge 3

This is my first entry into Dawn McVey's Color Challenge (http://www.dawnmcvey.typepad.com/). I've never used these colors together (especially Berry Sorbet with Pure Poppy red!), so this was a challenge for me!! Here's a list of supplies I've used:

Stamps: PTI Life, Autumn Leaves Fresh Cut by Heather Bailey, PTI Mega Mixed Messages.
Ink: PTI Pure Poppy & Vintage cream, VersaMagic Pixie Dust chalk ink.
Paper: PTI Pure Poppy, Kraft, Vintage Cream and Bazzill Bling paper (don't know the color!).
Other: PTI Berry Sorbet satin ribbon, pearls (from Archivers), oh, I almost forgot I put a little Art Institute glitter on the flower!

Easter card

I made this card to be enclosed in an Easter parcel I'm sending out to my brother, sister-in-law and nephew in England. I don't have any "Happy Easter" sentiment stamps yet, so just wrote the sentiment inside! This is kind of a combination of a couple of other cards on my blog. These are the supplies I used:

Paper (PTI): Kraft, Ripe avocado, Spring rain, Bitty dots in Spring rain.

Stamps (PTI): Life

Ink (PTI): Ripe avocado, Spring moss, Spring rain.

Other: Spring moss gingham ribbon, Vintage cream button, twine for button, sticky pearls (not sure what make, but I got these from Archivers). I also used Fiskers scallop & butterfly punches.

PTI March Blog Hop Challenge

This is my first PTI blog hop challenge! I'm looking forward to getting lots of inspiration from other bloggers using PTI products.

I love the images on the Friends til the End set, so I used the smaller flower for the background on this card. Its really easy to make an impressive looking card with this set (good for beginners like me!).

These are the supplies I used for the above card (all PTI):

Paper: Vintage cream, True black & Raspberry Fizz.

Stamps: Friends til the End & Retro background.

Ink: True black & Raspberry fizz.

Other: Vintage cream buttons & True black polka dot ribbon.

Happy blogging!

Scrunched flowers

Heres another really bad photo of a card I've made. Hopefully I'll have some better quality photos soon as we will be getting a new camera (once we've decided on what we want!).

I keep seeing cards made with scrunched up flowers. They look really pretty, so I decided to give it a go.
