September Papertrey Blog Hop

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone!  It’s the 25th which means it’s time for Papertrey Ink’s monthly bloghop. Can you believe we’re nearing the end of September already?  It seems like not so long ago we were waiting out the Spring rains so we could enjoy all the Summer outdoor activities. In the blink of an eye the trees will be bare and Winter will be moving into the neighborhood. The last three months of the year are so jam packed with things to do and see and plan and create, but it’s a lot of fun as well. Before we jump ahead to all things Holiday, let’s take a look at the inspiration for today’s hop.

The inspiration photo this month is a gorgeous table setting for an autumn get together. It’s all about gathering around the table with friends and family, warm and cozy colors and pumpkins.

Autumn Adornments is my favorite stamp set for this time of year, it’s so easy to create such beautiful garlands. The Cocoa Bean leafy vine was stamped twice, once in each corner, and flowers, leaves and pumpkins were added with an autumnal color palette of Terra Cotta, Harvest Gold, Pure Poppy and Summer Sunrise. The sentiment, from Autumn Pumpkins, was stamped in a coordinating color. The panel was then die cut with Scallop Stackers Small die and layered on a card base of one of the palette colors.

While all the supplies were out, I stamped a few extra panels playing around with the sentiment ink color and now have a little stack of cards ready to mail!

Thanks for stopping by today!

July Papertrey Blog Hop

Today’s the day. The 25th means it’s time for Papertrey’s blog hop. The inspiration photo is usually revealed right after all the new release festivities and I’m always excited to see what’s been chosen.  This month is all about creatures under the sea.

And my card.....

I love a blue and red color scheme and use it often but rather than under the sea, I went with something a little more sea adjacent, haha.

Enjoy the hop-

June Papertrey Blog Hop

Hello and happy June 25th to you!

The 25th means it’s time for Papertrey’s monthly blog hop and the inspiration photo is full of fruity summer goodness.

The gorgeous fruit was my inspiration for today’s card.

The watermelons and sentiment are from Fruit Fusion: Melon, County Fair for the florals and paisleys and a few stars from Celebrate With A Bang. The images were stamped in the juicy colors of Hibiscus Burst, New Leaf and Pure Poppy with a little Spring Rain for the stars.

I’m off to grab a popsicle and check out all the colorful creations.

Have a great week!

May Papertrey Bloghop

Hello, hello, hello!

Thanks for stopping by to spend a little time with me today as you hop through all the wonderful creations for this months blog hop with Papertrey Ink. Can we take a moment to sigh over the dreamy inspiration photo. Check it out -

It’s been a while since I’ve been inspired to make a card but one look at this outdoor scene and my card practically came to life right there!  Inspiration strikes everyone differently. Inspiration can come from the theme of the image. Or the color palette. You may be inspired by the focal image. Or by one of the little details. I was inspired by the little trailer and the general outdoor vibe.

Happy Hopping

PTI Anniversary Sketch Challenge

It’s February, which means it’s Anniversary time with Papertrey Ink. Anniversary time is 10 days full of announcements, challenges, inspiration and contests. The challenge for Day 1 is to create a project using one of the design team sketches.

 Michelle Leone’s clean and graphic card with all the white layers really appeals to my style of card making.  Here’s what I came up with.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

January Papertrey Blog Hop

Hello and welcome. It’s once again time for the monthly blog hop with Papertrey Ink. The inspiration photo this month is full of party fun with lots of white and sweet treats.

With all this party goodness, I have to confess, the first thing thing that I REALLY noticed when I looked at the photo was - are you ready for it - the window blinds!  I have the Cover Plate: Stripes Horizontal and it’s never been used so when I zero’d in on those blinds I knew this was the perfect time to dig it out.  So here’s my card:

November Papertrey Blog Hop

Hello friends,

How are you today?  Did you start (or finish) your holiday shopping yesterday?  Did you find any amazing crafty sales?  Are you still reheating leftovers?  Whatever you have on tap for today, I hope you’ll take a little time to check out the eye candy that is the monthly blog hop with Papertrey Ink. You can find the link HERE

This beautiful tablescape is our inspiration photo.

I was inspired by the hexagon pattern on the rug and I also wanted to incorporate the bow from the back of the chair.

The mason jar components are from Friendship Jar Fall Fillers and are colored with Copic markers. The bow is from Tinsel and Tags.  I also used the Linen and Canvas impression plate to add a little texture to the rustic cream card front.

Thanks for stopping by,
