This month's PTI blog hop challenges us to share a favorite project from 2011 and also create something new based on that project. What a fun challenge. Since I had already gone through all my projects for the 2011 Retrospective post, this challenge was not as daunting as it might seem at first. I chose this project from December:

| December 2011 |
I wanted to create a card set using this basic idea, while removing one of the layers to simplify the look. I need a card set for my 'homework' from my Clean & Simple Card Making Class, and I have been creating several sets to use as teacher gifts.
Here is a (not so great) photo of the entire set. I will either think of a cute way to package it up, or put it in a clear notecard box before I give it away. The set has 2 birthday-type greetings, two thank you-type cards, one get-well card and one 'hello' card.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Background Basics Vines, Think Big Favorites
Paper: Stampers Select White
Other Copic markers
Thanks for Visiting

Thanks for all the eye candy, Joyce. I needed some inspiration for this stamp set, as it has sat in my drawer uninked to date. I love all the ways you've used the vines and added various colours.

ReplyDeleteThis design caught my eye in my blog reader and I had to come and see. I'm glad I did because all the colourways are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteSomeone's been having some fun coloring!
ReplyDeleteI love this set (pinned it to help me remember it); I want to CASE this- such a perfect and perfectly lovely all occasion set!
I love your use of the Think Big sentiments and the color you've added to the vine border has a great way of grounding your cards. I also really like that you simplified the layering - it really makes the sentiment panel pop to me. Great work! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are fabulous! Love that you can customize them with a different sentiment or color combo. And I love, love, love that you do matching envelopes! It really makes the set seem so put together. TFS!
ReplyDeleteGreat card sets Joyce! I love your color and sentiment choices!
ReplyDeleteChris L.
