Stiching on Stamps

Todays PTI challenge was to stamp an image and then stich around it.  I love sewing and use my machine a lot but have not gotten out the needle and embrodery thread for a while so this was fun.  I used the hexagon set and stamped the images and then sewed right around the yellow ones.  It was really fun. 

PTI Sketch Challenge

Today I had some time to make cards and needed some inspiration so I used one of the PTI sketches to make this card.  I just got the button set and couldn't wait to use it.  I love anything sewing. 

Layers

This weeks Papertrey challenge was to make a flat card and then to make the same card and add layers.  It was a fun challenge and I usually like lots of layers but today I like my flat card the best.  I used the Faith and Hope set along with the coordinating ribbon die.  The first card is totally flat and then the second card I just added stickles.  The third card has pop dots, ribbon, layered paper, and stickles. 

Bunny Ears Flower

Long time no post - Today I am making a card for Papertrey's challenge to make a flower with die that isn't a flower. I thought this was going to be hard but when I sat down at may messy scrap table there was my new bunny ear dies still out laying around just waiting to be put away and don't you know they looked like the perfect petals so it was easier than I thought. I stamped the paper with a jar filler and heat embossed then cut them out and glued them down.

Glitter Buttons

It's been a while since I've made a card as I've been doing a lot of scrapping. But this weeks Papertrey challenge reminded me that I had a birthday card to make. Always have to have a little bling on the birthday cards. So the challenge was to glitter up your buttons. For some reason I have never done this before so I got out my stickles and had some fun. I used my Papertrey Everyday Button Bits stamp and some of their wonderful buttons (new leaf ).

Faith & Hope

I went on a scrap book retreat last week end and got lots of scrap pages done but I hit a dry spell and so worked on card making for a while. I made two of these cards with the PapertreyInk's set called Faith & Hope. I made them orange because that is the color for Leukemia and Kidney cancer. I know two ladies that each have cancer to send this card. I hope it inspires them.

PTI Anniversary

Papertrey Ink is having their 5th anniversary and celebrating with fun stuff all week. I made this card with a free download. The bee went perfect with some new paper from My Minds Eye and I am just crazy about those straight pins. I can't seem to stop buying them. This will make a cute non-traditional valentine to send.
