Make it Monday #203

This week's challenge is all about doodling over stamped images. Such a fun technique.

I used the Simple Sunflower and Phrase Play #3 stamp sets for this card, and I water colored around the images after I did my doodling.
My 13 y.o. son decided he wanted to move to the basement, which meant my craft room had to move to the main floor of the house. I've made more cards in the last month than I have in the last year. So nice having it in a more convenient location. Future room post coming soon.

Thanks for taking a look at my MIM card:)  

Make It Monday #184: Gold Dipped Die-cuts

This week Danielle's Make it Monday is all about dipping die cuts into embossing powder for a fun effect.

I used Turning a New Leaf and Phrase Play #3 stamp sets and die, Rustic Cream CS and Lavendar Moon patterned paper. I used gold embossing powder on the leaves and sentiment. I cut the card front with the leaf image and backed it with vellum.

And I finally got around to doing the "cut three dies and adhere them together to get a thicker embellishment" technique.
This  MIM was such a fun and inspiring idea!

Thanks for looking:)

Papertrey Ink Make it Monday - Mason Jars!

This week Melissa Phillips showed us how to stamp and embellish a mason jar in this week's Make it Monday video. 

I always plan to participate in these weekly challenges because the different techniques seem so fun, but I usually don't get around to it. This time I went right out to the canning cupboard and selected a jar.

I used the Turning a New Leaf stamp set to add leaves using a sparkly gold embossing powder. I added a 'Melis' bow, added a Tiny Tag embellished with a button, a gold punched leaf, and metallic gold paper behind the little heart.

I chose this jar because of how cute the back is:)

What a super fun challenge this week. Thanks for looking and happy Fall!

PTI Make it Monday #159

This week's theme is No-Sew Quilted Cards. Such a clever idea by Dawn McVey.

I used several different PTI papers and cut them into strips. You will see my inspiration at the end of the post. Sentiment is from Delightful Dahlias Additions. I used the Lace Impression Plate for the embossed design. Here is a close up of that:

And here is the table runner my mom just made and gave to me last weekend. 

Isn't it a stunner? I showed her a picture of one I  had seen at Anthropologie. This one is so much prettier. 

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out all of the other quilted cards. They are so pretty. 

High Gloss Blog Hop with Papertrey Ink

PTI's blog hop this month is all about the shine...

For my project I couldn't resist using Oil Cloth.

I used the new Tag Sale #10 to cut the tag. I cut a second tag from CS and adhered it to the oil cloth with craft glue to make it stiff.

There are lots of fun shiny projects this month:) 

Monthly Moments Trading Card Challenge

I love creating things on a smaller scale, so I knew I wanted to create something for Papertrey Ink's fun Trading Card Challenge.

Don't let the tiny chair fool you. This little trading card is 3" x 4". I used Banner Builders, Heart Prints and Congrats All Ways. I added one of Nichole's tape glitter strips along the top.
My Banner Builder's had yet to see ink. What a fun set.

PTI Timer Challenge

Here is a card for the Timer Challenge as part of Papertrey Ink's 7th Anniversary Celebration.

The challenge: pick 7 products in 7 minutes and create a card in 17 minutes or less. I used 5 ink colors, Papertrey Ink's Mini Bloom stamp set and CS. What a fun challenge!
