PTI Make It Monday and SSS Monday Challenge

Time for another Make it Monday with Papertrey Ink.  Today's technique is shadowed sentiments.  It looks nice if you get it right but if you mess up than your sentiment just looks blurry.... ask me how I know😏.  After 2 attempts though I was happy with my final result and here is the card.

My card was inspired by a beautiful card made by Melissa Phillips back in 2013.  I have always loved her style and I still find so much inspiration in her work!  Thank you Melissa💗

I used one of my favorite PTI stamp sets, Rosie Posie, it is timeless.  The sentiment is from Boutique Borders : Birthday and I used the Tag Sale #2 die to be the main focus.  One beautiful flourish behind the tag is from another PTI oldie but goodie simply called Embellishments.  I finished off the card with a sweet little twine bow and I am loving the finished card!

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Their challenge this week was to use a tag in your project.  

Have a great day everyone!

I already am!

Papertrey Ink Create Along With Us

I am a long time admirer of all things Papertrey Ink.  I was so shocked to find out that Nichole was leaving but I'm sure it was the right decision for her and I wish her luck!  The talented designers at PTI have always inspired me to create some amazing cards and projects and today was no different.  Heather Nichols is one of the designers that I have always admired.  I love her classy style and I have a feeling that she loves kraft card stock as much as I do.  Here is the card that she made for the December release that I fell in love with and inspired my card today:

I am entering my card into the Create Along With Us challenge for the December release.  

I used one of my favorite floral stamps, Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie 2 with the Holiday die cut from the Wonderful Words: Holidays set.  I stamped the word "HUGS" with the Fresh Alphabet stamp set.  I finished it off with a bow made from rustic jute twine.  I love how the card came together in the end and I can't wait for the Farmers Market Floral stamps to be released!

Here is my card:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

I already am!
