Tuesday Quick Post

One more post for me today....a super quick one to link up two cards using some older PTI products.

This card uses PTI Butterfly Folk, and I am entering it at the Ink to Paper Challenge to make a Folk Art card.  I am also entering at Less is More #432: Blue & Silver, Retro Rubber #147: Anything Goes (stamps are 2-3 years old), and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Remembrance (I remembered your anniversary!!).

To make this card, I heat embossed the biggest butterfly from Butterfly Folk using silver embossing powder.  Then, I sponged Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink all over the butterfly, aiming to go just over the outer edge, creating sort of a halo effect with the blue.  My sentiment is from PTI Uncorked, and I just stamped it on a scrap, cut it out, and popped it up with foam tape.

I also made a quick card for the Ink to Paper Challenge Melissa's Fab Friday Feature, which was so make a holiday project.  I used some papers that PTI sold which had all the elements from Holiday Folk stamps.

My Crafty Round Up

Warning....lots of card photos...I had a super crafty weekend.

First up is this birthday card featuring circles (balloons and focal point) for MFT Birthday Project, Seize the Birthday #187: Spring Fling (colors and little chickies) and Addicted to CAS #183: Animal.

I am playing along at Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #121: Birthday Theme for I think the first time, using the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches #366 and the colors from Color Throwdown #589.

My next card is inspired by the challenge at Ink to Paper Project Reachout: Keep Swimming and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #368.

Next is a card going to one of my friends who is a health worker super hero, and I am entering it at the new Seize the Birthday/Seize the Heroes #188 and MFT Color Challenge #139.  I used a band aid die from PTI to ground my super heros.

Another encouragement card with the same sentiment as this card from earlier in the week, and I am also linking it up at Cupcake Inspirations #491.

I am getting a Holiday Headstart with the latest challenge from Stay Crafty with Hero #5, and I am also entering this card at A Blog Named Hero Water Coloring challenge.

And, now I have two sympathy cards, as I try to rebuild my stash of these important, yet hard to make cards.  I am entering this card at Perfectly CAS #8: Masking.

My final card is very similar to the card I made earlier in the week here, and I am also entering it at AAA Cards #163.

Well, that's it for me today.  It is amazing how crafty I can be when I am stuck in the house.

Stay Safe

Happy Retirement

I have kind of given up on PTI these days, but when I happened to notice that Ink to Paper was hosting Laurie's Fabulous Favorites challenge this week, and I could play using PTI stamps, I pulled out a few supplies and got to it.  The challenge is to use Vellum, and I stamped the medium sized butterfly from Butterfly Folk on to a piece of vellum, heat embossed it in clear and then fussy cut it out.  I mounted it on another piece of vellum, following the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #400 (Congrats to FMS on 400!!)

I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #356:  Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

3 Cards from Saturday

I did not have as much crafty time as I had hoped this weekend, but I did make a lot of progress on the sweater I am knitting.  Just 3 cards to share.  

First up is a card using MFT Birthday Bear & Friends, and I am entering it at MFT Color Challenge #112 , MFT Sketch Challenge #426, Just Us Girls #477:  Birthday, and AAA Cards #135: One Plus Three plus Friends (stamped image, die cut, coloring + of course the bear is sharing his cake with his friends).

Next up is a card for Laurie's Fabulous Favorites over at PTI.  The challenge this week was a favorite PTI accessory, and I pulled out some oldies/goodies.  Several years ago, I bought a bunch of colors of embossing powders and also rhinestones, and I used both of these on my card.

I followed the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #311 and am also entering this card at The Paper Players #431:  Spring Fever.

Last up is a card using Memory Box Dogwood Blossom Outline die that I am entering at the Memory Box Flower Power challenge.  I cut this die several times out of different colors of paper, then pieced it back together.  I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #181:  Use Your Stash and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes.
