Paper Trey Ink Make It Monday Challenge

I am back for another quick post. I am entering Paper Trey Ink's Make it Monday Challenge #143. It was to create a paper project using the style "Modern Whimsy." This was kind of fun but I don't know if I pulled it off.

These are little bags I am sending off to a friend. I have been meaning to do this for WEEKS but just have never found the time. I decided this week that this challenge would be fun to make gift toppers. I knew I wanted to make a vellum flower but for some reason I could not find the vellum I knew I had. Thank goodness I am a craft hoarder because I had some tracing paper and used that instead. I then inked the flower pieces in yellow and pink, punched holes and put them together using a brad in the center to hold them. Didn't they come out pretty?

Besides the flowers, all the other pieces were taken from a box I have full of die cut extras that I have on my desk. I also sometimes stamp extras so I had the leaves all created too. This was so easy and fun to put together!!

I added a button to the center of the pink to make it a bit different from the orange bag. I think this bag is my favorite.

Here is a bit of a close up.

Well, that is it for today. I think two posts in one day is enough!! Have a great rest of the weekend!!

Paper Trey Ink Vintage Ornaments-Day 7 of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

Happy Sunday!! Just a quick post as I am meeting my friend for brunch and then a little Christmas shopping. Today it is mostly for stocking stuffers so it will be FUN!! (Not that my actual Christmas shopping is done, but that is another story.)

The card I am posting today is one of my new favorites. It is using Paper Trey Ink's Vintage Ornament stamps and dies. I used Raspberry Fizz ink and paper for the "pop" of color. I jazzed it up with some silver sequins and sentiment, though the sentiment is a bit fuzzy. I think I need a different silver embossing powder.

This photo does not do the card justice because this is so pretty!!!

Here is a detail shot. See that fuzzy sentiment? It bugs me a bit but it isn't as bad IRL.

Once again, thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!

Paper Trey Ink Snow Globe Tags-Day 6 of Christmas Fun

Edited….
Not sure why this didn't actually get out as scheduled yesterday so re-posting it manually today.

Hello everyone!! Welcome to day 7 of my 12 days of Christmas Fun!!

Today is just a quick post. I created a tag using Paper Trey Ink's Winter Snow Globe Set. I have a confession, though, I CASED the design from Dawn McVey, one of my favorite designers for PTI. She had this tag on a card with this design and I just copied it but didn't place it on a card!!
Here is her card:

(Link to her Original Post)

Here is my take on the  tag:

Since I cannot copy anything directly (it isn't in me) I changed it up using different papers and adding some sparkle to the snow globe. Isn't he cute?

Thank you for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn Card-Day Five of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

I cannot believe it is already December 5th!! Only twenty more days to Christmas shop. Putting that in writing just scared the pants off of me!!

Today I am going to show you a card I created using Lawn Fawn stamps. I mixed two stamp sets-Making Frosty Friends and Winter Sparrows to create this card. The background paper is from Bazzill's Halloween collection (I love paper that I can use after the holiday!!) and the black label is from My Mind's Eye.

Didn't it turn out cute? I especially love the embossing paste on the hat and along the base with the glitter. It really "makes" the card.

I want to thank you for stopping by during this time. It is so fun to show you all what I have created for the day.
