PTI Make it Monday #93

This week's Make it Monday is to extend your die collection by splitting (and in my case, trimming) them!
Check out the video here: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/11/make-it-monday-93.html

I again used my Movers & Shakers die but the straight one this time and split each cut into two. I had to trim them shorter here and there to fit over the length of the page.
Sentiment from PTI's Think Big Favorites #12.

(another happy way to use up scrap pieces of cardstock!)

Papertrey November Blog Hop Challenge

(Click HERE for the Digistamps4Joy Release Sunday Post)

I was intrigued by the inspiration source for the November Papertrey Blog Hop challenge.
Here is the blog URL: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/11/november-2012-blog-hop.html

I was drawn by the "LIARS" book cover, especially the wavy strips going from the fan and it immediately reminded me of the curvy die that is part of the PTI Movers & Shakers - Sliders set.

I used the larger die from the PTI Simple Sunflowers die set and the sentiment from the stamp set (https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/simple-sunflower-mini-stamp-set/).

This was a nice project to use up some scrap paper. There is some Basic Grey, Prima and We-R-Memory Keepers there.

Be sure to go to the blog and see all the other inspiration entries!

Release Sunday @ Digistamps4Joy!

It's Release Sunday again at Digistamps4Joy!  Go here >> http://digistamps4joy-sa.blogspot.com/ << to find links to the new release as well as the current challenge!

I wanted to go back a bit to CAS so here is a cute, simple card - maybe for a 1-year old? I think I'll keep this one in my stash :D. I used Margy's "Buttons Galore"!!

 I covered the 'top' buttons with Glossy Accents and popped them with foam tape over the bottom ones but slightly off-set: The sentiment I created in MS Powerpoint with the bottom buttons before printing out.

There are lots more cute images in this release so go take a look!

PTI's Make It Monday: Vellum layers

I made this card for the PTI Vellum challenge: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/11/make-it-monday-92.html

 I used the Simple Sunflowers dies and stamps to create the layered flower. I layered a vellum-cut flower inbetween the stamped flowers.

I don't have black embossing powder but I saw somewhere how to mimic it. You stamp with black ink and very quickly cover it with clear embossing powder. The embossing powder adheres to the ink and you get the same effect.

Stamp used to create background paper & sentiment: https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/spiral-bouquet-stamp-set/

Thank you (batch 3)

I somehow deleted the original post for this card! I hope it reposts correctly. For this reason I'm re-entering the challenges below.

Thank you (batch 2)

Here's another sample of a thank you card I made from my MIL (made 3):

The stamped image is from Joanna Sheen: Fantasy Flowers - Garden Elegance
The sentiment is from GinaK Designs "Petals & Wings)

I made three of these, each with a different background. The DP for all three came from a paper pack from Prima "Meadow Lark"
