Stamp-A-Faire: Masterpiece

Since I haven't posted in quite a few  months and wasn't taking photos of my cards, my pickings were limited.  However, the card I have chosen is one of my all time favorites.  It was done for Pti's Make it Monday :2015 A la Carte.  I chose  #215: BRINGING THE INSIDE OUT by Danielle Flanders.

      

Here's a close up of the Inside coming out.

Make It Monday 2015 Al La Carte

Friday, January 8, 2016

Playing along today with Pti's Make it Monday: 2015 A la Carte.  I chose  #215: BRINGING THE INSIDE OUT by Danielle Flanders.Loved this technique and will have to use it more often. Didn't bring as much of the inside out as Danielle did in her card as there is no die for the flowers in the stamp set With All My Heart. I am not a fan of fussy cutting either.

     

Here's a close up of the Inside coming out.

I do love the way this turned out. I was planning on giving it to my husband, but I think it is too feminine. So I'll send it to my daughter.

I used the color palette from Colour Q Chalange # 323 so I will be submitting it to that challenge as well.

Another MIM Die Pop Up Card

I'm back with another card for this week's MIM challenge: Pop Up Die Cuts.  This time I used the hearts from the Limitless Layer dies.

PTI January Blog Hop

Just a quick post for Pti's January Blog Hop.  The challenge this month is to create a card using only pink.

  My card was inspired by the pillow. I also wanted to use the new die so I could stitch my hearts together.

An up close shot.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Happy blog hopping.

Retrosketch # 97

   I have another Valentine card. I used the sketch from challenge # 97 of Retrosketches.

 I really love the clean and simple design.

Here's an upclose shot of the heart. I am disappointed in how the embossing came out. I actually did it twice. Both times the embossing was spotty. I even bought new white embossing powder since the one I had was old.

Overall, I am happy with this card. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

PS> It is amazing how sun makes all the difference when taking a photo.  Too bad we don't have more sunny days in winter.

Be Mine: A Duo Challenge

Just a quick post today for a card I made that qualifies for the challenges being hosted by Retrosketches and PTI's MIM: Multiple Layers Using One Stamp.

This is the fantastic sketch this week at Retrosketches.


This is my 2nd submission for the Retrosketches challenge, but I put a twist on it. I love how it turned out.

 The Valentine from With All My Heart was stamped in Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst and  Pure Poppy to create the layers.

Two Valentine cards down, ten more to go. At least I have about three weeks until I need to mail them. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Retro sketches # 96

  It's been awhile since I participated in the challenges at Retrosketches. But when I saw the latest sketch I knew I had to play along.

Using the Limitless Layer Valentine and stamp set With All My Heart immediately came to mind.

Here's my take.

 I just wish I had placed the XOX on the hibiscus burst instead of between the two colors. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

PTI Design Team Inspiration

In celebration of PTI's 6th anniversary, the design team show cased six of their favorite cards. The challenge is to select a card for inspiration to  create your own.
Since Valentine's Day is Thursday, I thought it best that this should be the theme of my card. I used the butterfly card (lower left corner) from Christina for my inspiration.

 I used the Flourishes Stamp Sset and two different die from the the Heart to Heart series.

 
The sentiment is from With All My Heart.

I think I am going to use this card for my anniversary which is a week after Valentine's Day.

 Thanks for taking a peek.
