PTI MARCH BLOG HOP!


This month we were challenged to use embroidery floss in a project.  I am having so much fun with the new PTI tiny tags stamps and dies.  A perfect chance to incorporate embroidery floss in a project. I used the book impression plate on enchanted evening card stock for the background.  The ribbon is orange zest saddle stitch.



I am looking forward to seeing all the creations this month!

Make It Monday #7: Adding Color to Non-Neutral Cardstock


My PTI package of goodies arrived just in time for me to put the Flower Fusion #2 stamp set and die to work.  I colored the lavender moon card stock with Copic markers.  This is a Mother's Day card for my mother-in-law (sentiment inside).  
Happy Spring to all!

Make It Monday #6: Impression Plate Tricks #1

Another fun inspiration from PTI Make It Monday.  I used the Book Print Impression Plate on the top (only) of my center cardstock.  Loved the idea of scoring to add definition.  The sentiment is from Beyond Basic Borders (stamped in True Black). The background paper is from Guide Lines.  I finished the card off by stacking PTI Vintage Buttons and attaching them with Button Twine.
Thanks for stopping by.  Looking forward to seeing everyone's projects.

Make It Monday #5: Distressing Edges


Another fun technique from PTI. I used the polka dot basics impression plate on Pure Poppy paper and then distressed the edges. I must say that the PTI paper is perfect for distressing. I cut the numbers with the new number dies (which I love) and distressed these as well. The numbers masking tape is from Tim Holtz (I think). All ready for my son's 14th birthday!

PTI Make It Monday #4: Creating with Fun Foam


What a fun idea.  I raided the kids craft supplies for the blue fun foam, cut it with my PTI star dies, used the small for stamping on Kraft paper with Fresh Snow ink, then layered the large foam cut with a medium star cut from the Bitty Star Basics and finished it off with a button from the Holiday Vintage mix collection and some Enchanted Evening baker's twine. Thanks for sharing this fun technique!
