Striped Comforter Inspiration June Blog Hop card




This is my last entry to the June Papertrey Blog Hop.  I really wanted to make a card inspired by the striped comforter on the bed.  So I framed my stripes with Summer Sunrise card stock, which mirrors the bed frame in that color.  Next I striped a focal piece of white card stock with the new Ombre Builders stamp set, which I love for quick and easy backgrounds.  Then I used my new Wet Paint die cuts and stamps to make my sentiment.  Done.  So very quick and easy.  I can't wait to try more color schemes with this.  The comforter has some diamond stripes across the solid stripes of colors, and I thought I could recreate that with the argyle stamps, but I kind of like the simplicity of this better.  

Enjoy the blog hop.  
Stamps: Ombre builders, Wet Paint 1
Inks: summer sunrise, aqua mist, melon berry, orange zest, hibiscus burst, black

Framed sketch and color scheme: PTI June Blog Hop




Here is my third card for the June Blog Hop at Papertrey Ink.  I chose to use the Framed Out series to make this card.  This sketch stumped me a little.  I used the color scheme of Raspberry, Hibiscus Burst, Harvest Gold, Teal, and Spring Rain.  I like how it turned out.  I spritzed the whole card front with shimmer smooch spritz,  and used some glitter Stickles on my star to make it look extra festive.  It is quite sparkly in real life.

I thought the blue frame looked like it had confetti in it, from afar, and the yellow frame looked like it had just a solid white/vellum look to it, so I used a vellum star cutout in my yellow frame that I glittered to make it stand out and confetti sparkles in my blue frame and around the cluster in general.

PTI June Blog Hop Sketch and color combo challenge

This card uses the sketch and color combo cards for this blog hop.  I thought the trendy triangles worked great for the banner.  A bright and cheery card.  Colors used are Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Aqua Mist, Hibiscus burst, and melon berry.

PTI June Blog Hop Sketch card

I used the sketch given but not the color combo given for this card.  The sectioned circle image just called out for red, white and blue since July is fast approaching.  I have a very sweet friend whose birthday is in July, so this one is for her.

Happy Graduation Envelope wrap

Here is my last entry into the challenge this week for PTI's Make It Monday.  There are a few graduates in our family and friends list this year so I made a couple of dressed up envelopes with label wraps to give to a few of them.   I made this card for a past PTI MIM challenge where we made our own confetti.  Now I get to make the envelope pop too.

Stamps: Tag It's, Star Prints, Leaf Prints, Congrats all ways
Inks and Paper colors: summer sunrise, orange zest, chocolate, new leaf, and harvest gold.
Accessories: seed packet die, leaf die, half and half die, limitless layer circles, scallop edge die, sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I hope everyone that may stop by to look at my card and envelope combos have a blessed weekend.

MIM baby card envelope wrap

I love this card and envelope combo.  I had fun with some relatively new stamps: Special delivery truck and accessories.  My chocolate chip foam ink pad is a bit juicy so the Diaper Service logo didn't turn out as crisp as I would have liked.  Oh, well.  Wanted to get these made as I will get no stamping done for the next several days.

Stamps: Wonderful words: Baby, Special Delivery
Ink and Paper colors: limeade ice, chartreuse, aqua mist, hawaiian shores, chocolate


Get Well Soon MIM envelope wrap


 Here is my next entry into this week's MIM challenge.  I am really enjoying these envelope wraps.  And I got out my much neglected envelope punch board and made some coordinating envelopes for some of the cards I chose to wrap with a label.   I must admit my masking skills need a little work.  I made two mistakes with the spoon and the steam.  I forgot to cut off the top portion (rim) of the bowl before stamping.  Oh well.  I think this card and envelope will brighten someone's day anyway.





Supplies:
Stamps: Comfort food, Vegetable garden, think big favorites
Paper and ink colors: smoky shadow, grey from SU!, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, chartreuse
