CFC #63 – Sorry

July 31, 2012 at 9:25 pm · Filed under CAS-ual Fridays, Others

I decided to give CAS-ual Friday Challenge another try. I had recently stamped and cut out the little umbrella from Lawn Fawn’s Plus One but I never got around to using it. Well, this card? It’s just… cute.  And that’s it. It feels like it’s missing something.  But what is it?  These days, I’m very tempted to add layers and layers onto the card.

Sorry

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (White)
Stamps: PTI (Background Basics: Circles, Big & Bold Wishes) Lawn Fawn (Plus One) Pape Smooches (Reflection)
Ink: Stampin’ Up (Brilliant Blue, Cool Caribbean, Soft Sky) Impress (Basil) PTI (True Black) Copic (BG10, BG15)
Other: Rinestones (Clear, Blue, Green)

CFC #63 – Thinking of You

July 28, 2012 at 8:52 pm · Filed under CAS-ual Fridays, Organizing, Others

This week’s CAS-ual Friday Challenge is definitely a challenge for me! Playing with three colors for this card: lime, aqua & navy. Although I rarely use these colors, I did manage to find some ink pads to match the colors required.

But first, completely off topic is this amazing find by my mom: a wooden cassette shelf, perfect for my inks pads, and only for $3.99! And look at those ink pads, resting so beautifully on the shelf :)  Although not enough space for all my ink pads, I’m still very excited to finally be able to see most of my ink pads all at the same time instead of having to go through my shelves.

New Ink Shelf

As for the card, I think I must’ve ditched at least a dozen tries before I got to this card. And even so, I’m not entirely satisfied by my take on the color challenge.  If Papertrey Ink decides to go for a First Aid Challenge, I’d definitely submit this.

Thinking of You

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (White)
Stamps: PTI (Iconic Images) Paper Smooches (Reflection)
Ink: Stampin’ Up (Brilliant Blue, Cool Caribbean) Impress (Basil) PTI (True Black)
Other: PTI (Rustic cream twine) Basic Grey (Button) Rinestones (Clear, Blue, Green)

Papertrey July Blog Hop Challenge

July 24, 2012 at 11:33 pm · Filed under Blog Hop, Papertrey Ink, Thanks

New stamps arrived today so I couldn’t help but create a new card for Papertrey Ink’s July Blog Hop Challenge. I originally planned to use all five colors – but some of them look so similar when stamped out that I decided to just stick with the 3 main colours.

I thought I’d dedicate this card to those who made Papertrey Ink’s Stamp-a-Faire possible. I had an amazing time watching and rewatching the videos and trying out different techniques. I must say Danielle’s Washi Tape tutorial was amazing :)

Million Thanks

On a completely irrelevant note, I finally found a more decent place in my house for taking pictures!

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (Soft Stone, White)
Stamps: PTI (Iconic Images, Signature Series: Butterfly)
Ink: PTI (Simply Chartreuse, Berry Sorbet, Smokey Shadow) Stampin’ Up (Summer Sun)
Other: PTI (Rustic cream twine) Basic Grey (Button) Rinestones (Clear, Pink)

Stamp-a-Faire 2012 Projects

July 21, 2012 at 9:24 pm · Filed under Papertrey Ink, Stamp-a-Faire

Well, after Papertrey Ink’s Stamp-a-Faire is over, I finally have time to get started on my projects!

Ribbon Techniques Challenge

LOVE Erin’s tutorial – pretty obvious since I love working with negative die cuts.  I used some American Crafts twill ribbon for my project today.  I chose two cute colors – perfect for a baby girl’s christening.

Baby Christening

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (White)
Stamps: PTI (Inside & Out: Thank You)
Ink: Stampin’ Up (Sage Shadow)
Other: PTI (clouds die) American Crafts (ribbon, thickers) Button, Rinestones

Homemade Embellishments

I decided to follow Heather and do a little felt embellishment!  I’m not good with stitching so I went mainly with my trusty scor-tape to adhere everything together.  And there you have it, a mini camera badge!

Camera Birthday

Camera Birthday - Close Up

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI ( white)

Limited Supply Challenge

I have none of the required supplies except for the appropriate color of cardstock and a button that is very close to Simply Chartreuse!  So with a very very limited supply list, I created a very simple sympathy card.

Flower Sympathy

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (White, Aqua Mist)
Stamps: PTI (Beautiful Butterflies) Lawn Fawn (Blissful Botanicals)
Ink: PTI (Smokey Shadow, Simply Chartreuse) Stampin’ Up (Sky Blue)
