Elena's baby

I have always loved Elena's masking/stamping abilities.  Here's a card I CASEd from her;  let me tell you, it took awhile to get the masks just right!

Supplies; Stamps -  Bundle of love (PTI), Envelope pattern (HA), Stella & Rose (MME), Paper - Aqua mist, cream, Hawaiian shores, Other - copics. 

Narrow aqua hills

Maybe not the best title for a post, but oh well!  I wanted to do some cottag-ey/country patterns to go along with the house image.  The main panel was stamped onto white, coloured and then popped up with dimensional adhesive.

Supplies; Stamps - Spring hills, Envelope pattern, Paper - Aqua mist, Green boutique PP, white, Other - Copics.

Pinky doily background

Supplies; Stamps - Stella & Rose (MME), Envelope pattern (HA), Label basics, Giga guidelines (sentiment), Paper - Plum pudding, white, Other - Edgers die, Raspberry fizz twill ribbon.

In and out frames

A cheery birthday card.  The white flowers are cut from felt using Tiny tags dies - the little holes do not get cut all the way through with felt.

Supplies; Stamps - Think big favorites, Fillable frames, Envelope background, Paper -  Hawaiian shores, Prima PP, cream, Other - Tiny tags dies, Label 1 die, Fillable frame die, cream felt, Raspberry fizz twill ribbon, pink pearls.

Kinda moody

That's the feeling this card makes me think of.  :)

I started off with Curio PP and built everything around it.  I wanted the stamped flowers to come out brown, but the ink turned black on the image and I think it probably turned out better as a result.  I actually decapitated the butterfly a bit as it was just a little too big.  The ribbon is the shade of Pinefeather - not one I thought I'd reach for so soon. 

Supplies - Stamps - Delightful dahlia, Envelope pattern, Fancy flourishes, BB: text, Mat stack 1 (sentiments), Paper - Curio PP (Basic grey), Spring moss, Lemon tart, kraft, Other - Love lives here dies, Tag sale die, Delightful dahlia dies (for masking), Tea dye distress ink (TH), Flowers (Prima), Lemon tart button, seam binding (matches Pinefeather).

Little TY parcels

A thank you card for one of my daughter's friends.   I used a glassine bag and adjusted the card size accordingly (it came out to be about 4.5 x 3.5'').

Love how the card peaks out.  And the glassine bag + baker's twine is just meant to be, in bakeries or otherwise.  ;) 

This is the inside.

Supplies; Stamps - Envelope pattern (Hero Arts), Tiny Treats, Paper - Graphic 45 PP, Spring rain, kraft, Other - Dark chocolate baker's twine, medium glassine bag, Tiny treats die.

PTI blog hop - embroidery floss

Papertrey Ink's blog hop theme this month is to use embroidery floss.  I haven't tried this before, so I looked forward to the challenge! 

The floss was weaved (just by hand) through the holes of the die, then tied. I looped it around and then used a smidgen of hot glue to fix it into place. I was hoping to have the new Tiny tags dies/stamps by now, so just image a little tag dangling from the floss.

The card evolved over awhile actually - I had gotten the heart and musicsheet background stamps a few months ago, and had stamped a bunch of paper with them in anticipation of using later.  Then I got the Parisian lace doily die with the February release, and decided I wanted to see it in hot pink, and so the rest of the card all sort of fell together from there.

The leaves were stamped with grey, the flower punched out of patterned paper, and the circle mat is also stamped with a delicate background stamp (envelope pattern).

Enjoy the rest of the hop - I know I will!

Supplies; Stamps - BB: Music Sheet, BB: Hearts, Envelope Pattern, Turning a New Leaf, Delightful dahlia (sentiment), Paper - Lemon tart, Raspberry fizz, cream, Bittersweet PP (Basic grey), Other - Parisian lace doily die, Limitless labels 1 3/4'' circle dies, Boho blooms flower punch (SU), cream embroidery floss.

Purple mail

A lovely person on the forum sold me the letter bundle stamp, and I've been paper piecing contentedly ever since.  Here are two similar cards.   I wanted to use my new paper too - Royal Velvet, so the colour scheme went on the purple side of things. I got the idea for the ribbon and flower image from here.

The first one is more 'clean'. 

And the second a bit more distressed.  Love the new Hero arts background!

Supplies; Stamps - Friendship jar spring fillers, Vintage postcard (unity), Envelope pattern background (Hero arts), Candid flower (Penny black), Notebook (Prima), Paper - Royal velvet, cream, kraft, Webster's pages PP, Other - Edgers #2 die, Tea dye distress ink, Boho flowers punch, Limitless layers 1 3/4'' die, copics, Royal velvet and Sweet blush satin ribbon.
