Sneak Peek: Hello friend


Here is the first sneak peek which I created with my new set from the FreckledANDfun line at Papertrey Ink. I used kraft paper to create the card base. The designer paper is the pure poppy from the {bitty dot collection}. It is scalloped edge punched on the bottom. A layer of papertrey true black, kraft, then papertrey white was used for the main image. The ladybugs were stamped with black soot ink, colored with copics. It was easy to line up the sentiment on each side of the middle ladybug -- that is the bonus of clear stamps. The other two ladybugs were placed on the outside of the sentiments.

I used some pure poppy ribbon and a true black PTI button with the rustic twine tied in a bow.

Papertrey Ink Sneak Peek # 5


I am so very excited about my latest stamp set in the FreckledANDfun line, available at Papertrey Ink. This set is unline any other in the Papertrey family, but I think with the images and sentiments, you will find that it is going to be one you will reach for many times over! It will be especially fun for coloring with those copic markers!

The official Countdown posts start on the 10th -- I cannot WAIT to see all that the design team has been working in their craft spaces this month -- and this set, along with a bunch of others will be for sale at Papertrey Ink on the 15th.

I am thrilled to finally see the design team countdown projects! I will have mine here too! In the meantime, watch Nichole's blog for more sneak peeks each day.

I hope the little bee is buzzing by is a fun hint of the fun doodle-icius style that this set will offer! I have already created some fun items with my new PTI set -- and I cannot wait to show them to you! Stay tuned this week for more and don't forget to check out the goodies Nichole has on her blog.

FS161: Vera

This week's featured stamper is Vera.

I loved her {true friend} card and had to make a birthday card for my God daughter, Meg.

Meg is a girly girl! She needs the pinks and the flowers -- so I used a wonderful Our Craft Lounge set to create this card. White base with pretty in pink (embossed with swiss dots) on the top, a strip of some Abbey Road papers on the bottom. The floral is scallop edge punched. The sentiment from {Big Birthday Wishes} in black on the green designer paper. The may arts ribbon compliments the green paper nicely! A smidge of caribbean under the pink circles picks up the hint of caribbean in the designer paper. I used the flower from {Say it Big} in black ink on pretty in pink paper. I used some copic markers on the flowers. In the center of each flower, I placed a hero arts pink gem. The three flower circles are raised on dimesionals.

Happy Birthday Meg!



Stamps: Our Craft Lounge {Say it Big} {Big Birthday Wishes}
Paper: pretty in pink, white, abbey road designer paper, caribbean
ink: black, copics
misc: hero arts gems (pink), dimensionals, punches (circle and scalloped edge), may arts ribbon, cuttlebug (swiss dots)

FS160: AngellaDCrockett

I just love the way this card turned out -- it was fun to make too! AngellaDCrockett is this week's featured stamper. She has an amazing gallery of beautiful cards.

My card is based on a card which Angella made {here}. I made some changes from the original design - I still used pink and kraft -- but decided to change to designer paper and eliminate the the paper piercing. I used dew drops in the corners -- added a flower (which is actually a brad) -- with a dew drop in the center.
I started with PTI kraft paper, then added some designer paper. In each corner I used the ticket corner punch on the edge of each corner and placed a dew drop. The ribbon is may arts -- tied in a knot. I used more kraft paper (ticket corner punched edges) with some pink pirouette paper and the sentiment (from Our Craft Lounge's Big Birthday Wishes}. The flower brad has a dew drop in the center as well. Main image is on dimensionals.

paper: kraft (pti), pink pirouette, designer paper
ink: pomegranate

FS159: Jovialjudi

This week's card is a case of a card created by Judi (aka Jovialjudi) called ISC213. I loved the clean look of the white base, the blues and browns. I created this one with a different stamp set, some fun ribbon and pearls, and slightly different colors.

I used some designer paper (Abbey Road) in squares and layered them on some chocolate chip paper. The main image is a stamp {Say it Big} from Our Craft Lounge. The dotted stamp is from {Big Birthday Wishes} The flowers are also from that set. I used some may arts ribbon in blue/brown and heated it up to give it a curled look. There is some dew drops on the corners of the main image and in the center of the flowers. I used cool carribean ink and chocolate chip ink (SU!). The flowers are colored with copics markers. Main image is mounted on dimensionals.
