PTI MIM #187 - Tag #1

I love this week's Make it Monday #187: Partial Die Cuts for the Holidays. I ended up making 3 tags - each being posted separately.
I broke out my new PTI goodies and even used some leftover scraps to make my tags - I love when I use scraps/leftovers from previous creations.

Here is my tag:


The tree die cut is covered with Distress Stickles dry glitter.

This tag could even be repurposed as a tree ornament!

Christmas cards for MIM & Caring Hearts Card Drive

I love this week's Make it Monday! PTI's Make it Monday #186 is Partial Die Stamping by Laurie. This is a fun technique and I used it to make 2 cards that I will be submitting to the 5th Annual Caring Hearts Card Drive. This is a great cause and I encourage everyone to participate! I didn't get a chance to do it last year but this year I will be submitting about 8 cards.



My cards are inspired by this card by Kreative Kristie. 

Here they are:



Here's a close up detail shot:


And here is the sentiment inside the cards:


Thanks for checking out my cards!

Happy Halloween!!!

I have a super cute card (if I do say so myself) that I made for Halloween using MFT's Spooky Scene Die-namics.  I am submitting this card in The Cutting Edge Challenge #13. Here's the inspiration:



And here's my card:


This card actually has NO stamping on the front! Here is a close up shot:


And here is the inside:


This banner was originally going to go on the front but I stamped it a little off center and I wanted perfection to go along with those gorgeous die cuts, so I went with the "boo" instead!

Thanks for checking out my blog!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL THE GHOULS OUT THERE!

Ingredients: MFT Spooky Scene, Spider Web Cover-up, Trick or Sweet; Spellbinders Classic Circle

Holiday Wishes card for PTI Blog Hop

Back with my 3rd card for the October PTI Blog Hop.  I decide to break out my new supplies to make my cards- love this ornament die!

Here is the recipe I used for this card:



I love this combo - modern, fresh and great for a masculine card!!!

Here is my card:


I used the snowflake impression plate for the scarlet jewel background and then sprayed it with SC Calico Shine to add sparkle.  Here's a detail shot - the impression is very faint (I need to work on my "sandwich"):



Here is the card inside (i used the leftover from the frame die cut to stamp my sentiment on):

Joy & Peace cards for PTI Blog Hop

It's time for the October Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! This month PTI provided holiday color recipes for our creations.  I ended up making 3 cards for the hop, 2 here in this post since they use the same recipe.

Here's the color recipe I used:


I love these colors! My original idea/sketch didn't work out but after some brainstorming I came up with a sketch I loved - so I made 2 cards!!!

Here they are:



The background is clear embossed.  Here are some detail shots:



I didn't have any pink enamel dots so I colored the white pearly ones I had to create raspberry fizz ones.

And here's what I did on the inside (same for both so I only took one pic):


Thanks for checking out my cards!!!!
