PTI Edger #3 Cards




Here are 3 takes on the same card layout.  The card base is 4 1/4x5 1/2 white cardstock.  The card base and all of the mats were cut with PTI Edger Die #3.  The mats are 4x3-4".  The patterned paper is American Crafts.  #1 &2 use the Rolled Roses die I use all of the time.  You can find it on previous posts.  The top one is 100% red wool felt, the purple one is embossed acrylic felt.  Let me tell you it makes all the difference.  High quality wool felt cuts like, as they say, butter!  The acrylic I pass through my cutter multiple times and then still have to release the cuts with scissors.  It is barely worth it.  PTI sells FABULOUS wool felt but it is pricey.  National Nonwovens and The Felt Store have great felt.  They are both far less than PTI but they don't have the cool colors PTI has.  The leaf sprigs are from PTI Turning a New Leaf die.  The bottom card has a PTI Mat Stack #2 cut stamped with the matching stamp.  A PTI Love Lives Here butterfly and 3 Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly punch cuts.  Same card, different color or elements.
Thank you for looking at my blog!
