Place Cards & Tags

Just a quick post to share the place cards I created for Christmas Dinner and tags for our gifts.  I used PTI's Turning a New Leaf and Poinsettia dies.

And this is what we had last year.

Botanical Silhouettes

I broke in this year's PTI Limited Edition Anniversary Set - Botanical Silhouettes and it's just addicting.  I cut various sizes of Rustic White and Cream cardstocks and stamped away.  These were totally inspire by Nichole Heady's samples for this set.

Supplies:

• PAPER: PTI Harvest Gold, Pure Poppy, Rustic White and Rustic Cream
• STAMPS: PTI Botanical Silhouettes
• INK: Stampin Up 
• OTHER:  Twine, ribbon and button

PTI Make It Mondays

I've always liked glitter but I don't like the mess associated with it.  I tried using Scor Tape after seeing PTI's Make It Monday challenge and I'm amazed how the glitter stuck to the tape.  I decided to wrap 3 sides of Mat Stack 3 with Scor Tape and add glitter, the curve part was a bit tricky.

Supplies:

• PAPER: PTI Royal Velvet, Plum Pudding & Rustic Cream
• STAMPS: PTI Mat Stack 3 & Larger than Life
• INK: Stampin Up
• DIECUT: PTI Parisian Lace Doily, Mat Stack 3 & Butterflies
• OTHER:  Scor Tape, Prisma Glitter, bling & pearl pins

PTI Color Challenge

Raspberry Fizz - Pure Poppy - Hawaiian Shores - Dark Chocolate - Kraft

PTI Make It Mondays

Here's my take on PTI's Make It Mondays.  I used various PTI sentiment stamps but made one the focal sentiment.

PTI's Maile Belles Tag

My last entry for a chance to be a PTI Guest Stamp Designer ... keeping my fingers crossed.    Unfortunately, I was not able to use the other 5 beautiful designer tags (I'm hoping this will be the free anniversary set) because I'm just simply poofed but it was fun.  I'm looking forward to the new Make It Mondays.  Good luck to everybody who joined and thanks Nicole for the chance!

PTI's Melissa Bickford Tag

PTI's Beth Silanka Tag

PTI's Dawn McVey Tag

Another PTI bigger and better anniversary festivity ... here's my take on Dawn McVey's PTI Anniversary tag.

My Favorite PTI Project

I heart PTI!  I discovered it more than a year ago when I started reading blogs and I was hooked. For this year's festivities I picked my favorite PTI Project ... a card I made for my friend's baby shower.  I love the banner set so I wanted it to be the focal point then I added the clouds cut with the same color cardstock (got this idea from Dawn's Tiny Treats monkey card) to add a little weight on the background.
Check out Nichole's blog for all the festivities and a chance to win the ULTIMATE Card Kit!

Supplies:

• PAPER: PTI Spring Rain & Blueberry Sky 
• STAMPS: PTI, Hero Arts
• INK: PTI, Stampin Up
• DIECUT:  PTI Banners and Clouds
• OTHER: ribbon, brads & buttons

Christmas Stockings

I'm still trying to get into the Christmas mood and created this card.  For the stockings, I used PTI's stockings die and dots background stamp then added glossy accent on the dots.  The white paper on the stockings is a  Doodlebug crushed velvet paper.  The base card, kraft card and sentiment stamp are also PTI.  Excuse my picture too, I'm trying to learn to use a dslr camera but I'm having trouble focusing ... Weng (my expert friend) help! =D.

Christmas Wreaths

Sorry for the long absence, we went out of town for 2 consecutive weekends so there was no time to craft.  Anyhow,  I finally had a chance to break-in my new set of stamps, PTI's Wreath for All Seasons.  Hopefully, this will set my mood for the holidays so I won't have to cram this year ... hopefully =D

Cards with Pearls - Cards Blog Challenge

This week's Cards Blog Challenge is Cards with Pearls.  I used Cuttlebug embossing folders for the wedding cake and background then added skittles and pearls on the cake and matted it on a Spellbinder's Label 4. I used PTI for all the paper and stamp sentiment.

Kites - Cards Blog Challenge

This is my first entry for Cards Blog Challenge ... theme: Cards with Kites.  I used PTI for the paper and stamps for this card, a little twine and floss for the kite and Martha Stewart Icicle punch for the grass.

More Felt!

I'm really digging felt as an embellishment. I can't stay away from them but I must say paper is still my first love =D. Here's a couple more cards with felt using a not so conventional color schemes. Everything is pretty much PTI products.

PTI June Blog Hop

Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise, New Leaf and Orange Zest

I love PTI products especially their paper. It's hard to pick my favorite since all their colors are beautiful. For June's Blog Hop, the theme is PTI's favorite color scheme. I picked Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise, New Leaf and Orange Zest. This color combination is leaning towards a fall theme but I think the green balanced it out.

My First Attempt on Stitching

I got my sewing machine about a year and half ago as a birthday gift from my siblings. This is my first attempt in stitching on paper and second time using my sewing machine =D. I still need a lot of practice!

I used PTI Up, Up and Away stamps and dies for the clouds and hot air balloons and inverted MS Icicle punched border as grass.
