PTI Blog Hop ~ Popper Card #1




I will go into more detail later on this card.  It was my first attempt at using this die and I have a lot of things I will  change.  KU won in overtime ~ Rock Chalk KU ~ I am wiped out but need to post so I can download for the Blog Hop!  Same goes on the previous post!
Thank you for looking at my blog!

PTI Blog Hop ~ Zipper Card











This 4 1/4x5 1/2 white cardstock base card uses the new Movers & Shakers Zipper Die.  I LOVE this clever new die.  I also used the new Raspberry Fizz Damask Pattern paper.  I so LOVE that paper.  the pattern is gorgeous and so is the color!  I love my card layout but I didn't use a anti-static pack on the paper before I stamped & embossed so there is stray white specks.  you cannot see them as well in person.  The patterned butterfly is from the new Papertrey Ink - Beautiful Butterflies Die Collection.  You know how much I LOVE butterflies!
Thank you for looking at my blog!

Papertrey Ink 5th Anniversay Contest ~ Day 9~ card 2

Day-9-Contest
Create a new project using both butterflies and leaves.




I really like this card too, because I love both butterflies and leaves and PTI Green Tea Leaves is one of my favorite paper packs!  This 4 1/4x5 1/2 white cardstock base card has a 4x5 1/4 panel from Green Tea Leaves.  The leaves were cut with Turning a New Leaf in Ripe Avocado & Fine Linen.  Butterflies were cut from all 3 papers.  The small Scallop border was used to cut Ripe Avocado paper and a small strip of Fine Linen was adhered to the top.  A small Fine Linen Label was stamped with Dark chocolate ink (the PTI website is down and I cannot remember the name of the label, it is the one with 3 types on one die).  The sentiment was finished off with small pearls as were the butterflies.
A VERY easy challenge for me ~ I so love leaves and butterflies!

Papertrey Ink 5th Anniversay Contest ~ Day 9~ card 1

Day-9-Contest

Create a new project using both butterflies and leaves

This was an EASY project for me.  You do not have to look at very many of my cards and see I LOVE both Butterflies and Leaves.  I use those dies a LOT!  This card use 4 1/2x5 1/2 white cardstock as the card base.  The front panel is from Pacific Vineyard.  I cut the leaves from Ripe Avocado cardstock and the butterflies were from the solid and patterned paper.  The sentiment is on Oval Limitless Layers used to cut Spring Moss cardstock & stamped with Spring Moss ink.  The butterfly stack was finished with an adhesive pearl.
LOVE!
