MAKE IT MONDAY #322: ABOVE & BELOW

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and highlight a sentiment with the above and below technique.

Still loving Warm Regards!

So I thought I would use it for my card.

I thought it worked very well.

It is a pretty floral.

I sell so many sympathy cards. I sell everyone I make, so I try and make more that I think I need.

People want to have them on hand. No one wants to have to go and buy one when you need it. We all need them...

I tend to cluster my stamping on the bottom of the card. I have been trying to break that habit.

This is a good way to get out of that mode!

Great tip Lizzie. Thank you

Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY THROWBACK: MASKING SENTIMENTS

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include masking sentiments.

I LOVE Make it Mondays!!!

Really love them! 

I love it when we revisit them.

I get in a rut and forget about techniques.

This one is a goodie. Thank you Ashley, for reviving it!

I haven't used Beautiful Berries:Spring for a while!

It needed an appearance.

This one is a bit tricky for me to stamp when I don't use the die, but it is still such a pretty stamp!

Sequins also needed to get out of the jar! They add such texture...

I made 10 of this one. Maybe my fall sale wont be as daunting if I can keep this up all summer!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY #321: INK BLENDING ON COLORED CARDSTOCK

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include ink blending on colored cardstock

I LOVE this technique! I am not the greatest ink blender but this was pretty forgiving. Small spaces and you are looking for color saturation.

I wanted to use our new Weathervane card stock. I have wanted a gray for so long!!!

I also remembered Fresh Bouquet had an outline image...

My love of sprays convinced me to use it.

I actually think this is faster than stamping.

There are a lot of stamps for this image so it takes time to ink them all up and stamp them.

Its pretty fast to ink blend...

I made 10 of this one! So glad I am getting slightly ahead of my stock.

Thank you for looking at my blog!

PAPERTREY INK MAKE IT MONDAY #320: SPOT COLOR WORD DIECUTS

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include spot coloring with word die cuts.

Betsy's card is amazing...mine...

I do not own a single Copic marker, so I do not purchase stamps that need to be colored. So I am limited to images that have a line image and a solid stamp to add color.

I almost always go to Vintage Linen, my all time favorite floral.

It is kind of hard to read...I used  Counting My Blessings Die to cut the word, blessed.

Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY #319: GRAFFITI WORD ART

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include graffiti word art.

Lexi has the best techniques.

I just loved this one!

I used the Happy from Tipped Tops.

Also Balloon Bash.

I also used Melissa's  Embossing Enamel Splatter technique. 

This time I used some dots of embossing ink to hold the powder down. 

It worked SO much better.

I LOVE it when Lexi does the MIM's

This was a good one!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY #317: USING OUTLINE IMAGES

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include using outline images to accent your project.

I liked this technique way more that I thought I would. I LOVE color, so I thought the white space would bother me. But the images I chose filled it in more that I planned...

I used the blooms from Warm Regards...my current obsession!

I played around with leaves and they were all more harsh than I liked so I used 

the bloom cluster from Floral Sketches. I LOVE that cluster. I use it a lot to fill in space.

I also love the sentiments from Penned Elegance!

So pretty.

I have a new "rule" when I am working.

If I make a card I like, I force myself to make at least 8-10.

I would love to get ahead on my inventory so I am not making so many cards in a big rush!

I made 9 of this one!

Thank you for looking at my blog!
