PTI March 2015 Blog Hop

Today is my birthday and what better day to spend in my craft room making cards. Today is also PTI's March Blog Hop and here is my card for the challenge (see the photo below).

I used my new Petite Pots set and just started playing with layout and colors. It was fun! Thanks for stopping by and sharing my birthday.


Here's the challenge photo:

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Petite Pots (PTI)
Paper: Kraft, Hawaiian Shores, Lemon Tart, Hawaiian Shores Bitty Dots DSP, White
Ink: Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold Dark Chocolate, Fine Linen, Simply Chartreuse
Other: Petite Pots die, Tipped Tops die, dimensionals

Bind-It-All Post It Note Pads

I made these for the same lady mentioned yesterday raising money for Relay For Life.

You can find the tutorial that I used for these little note pads HERE.  I decreased the size slightly as I didn't like so much extra space around the pads but I don't have my final dimensions in front of me. Just play with your sample until you get a size that you like.

For this 3x3 Post It note pad I used some black chip board that I had on hand. I only covered the outside since the black chipboard looked good on the inside with this paper. I cut the felt apple using PTI's Seasonal Stitching: Apple die.  The black coil is 3/4".

On this note pad I used a free Prima flower that I got from somewhere.  I see now that I should have added a pearl to the center of the flower but I was in a time crunch to get this made and out the door and that detail missed my attention.

These are fun little pads and I hope that you try them out! Thanks for stopping by!

Bitty Bouquets Card Set

Good Morning! A friend at church is raising money for Relay For Life and asked if I would contribute some cards.  I created a set of 4 cards using PTI's new Bitty Bouquet set. I have started to save the plastic cases that my PTI stamp sets come in. They work perfectly to hold 4 cards & 4 envelopes.

This first card uses Wisteria Wonder & Bashful Blue ink (SU) for the flowers and Limeade Ice (PTI) ink for the leaves. The sentiment  is Keep It Simple: Get Well (PTI).

Card #2:
Harvest Gold and New Leaf ink (PTI). The sentiment is Handwritten Borders (SSS).

Card #3:
Pure Poppy and Ripe Avocado (PTI); Bashful Blue (SU). Sentiment is Keep It Simple: Birthday (PTI).

Card #4:
Berry Sorbet & Simply Chartreuse (PTI). Sentiment is Keep It Simple: Thank You (PTI)

Hope you like my simple set of note cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St Patrick's Day to my girls :-)

There is clear embossing powder on the shamrock & sentiment. It doesn't show well in the picture and in fact doesn't look as good as I would like IRL. Does embossing powder go bad? I didn't think so.

Happy St Paddy's Day everyone!! Don't forget to wear your green.


Supplies:
Stamps: Got Treats (SU)
Paper: Glorious Green, Whisper White (SU)
Ink: Glorious Green (SU)
Other: Tag Me die (Reverse Confetti), Zig Zag Dots stencil (SSS),  Baker's twine, spackling paste, dimensionals, clear embossing powder
