March Guest Star Stamper Entries 1

These are 3 of my entries for PTI's Guest Star Stamper contest for March. This category is Best Use of Friends 'Til the End This is my new favorite set, and I just can't get enough of it. The sentiments are great, and the flowers are just beautiful. For all of these, I heat embossed the images with white powder onto colored paper, then I cut them out. Tedious, but so pretty. I also wanted to incorporate black in the center, so I just filled it in with black marker.

My sister gave me a birthday gift, tied up with this yummy ribbon. I just had to use it--the colors are perfect. I didn't want to compete with it, since the flower is also so big, so I just stamped directly on it with Versafine Onyx ink. It's amazingly crisp.

I am also loving the new Bitty Dot Basics paper.


All of these cards use basically the same supplies:
Paper: PTI White, Bitty Dot Basics, Raspberry Fizz, SU Green Galore (#1)
Ink: Versafine Onyx, Versamark
Stamps: PTI Friends 'Til the End
Other: ribbon-Hallmark, PTI Raspberry Fizz satin, Zig black marker, dimensional tape

February Blog Hop

For this month's Hop, we are to pay homage to a member of PTI's Design Team. They are all so very talented! I chose a recent project by the amazing Debbie Olson . I loved her simple design with white embossed violets on Raspberry Fizz, with a few little details sprinkled in--sparkly centers, a scored edge and rounded corners. Just beautiful! I actually copied this card exactly, because it was so easy, but then I decided to change it up a bit. Here is my version in Enchanted Evening, with the smaller flowers. I didn't have the right color buttons, so I made a little fancy ribbon edge. The sparkles are flat rhinestone stickers. Best $1.99 I've spent in a while! Thanks for the inspiration, Debbie! Paper: PTI White, Enchanted Evening Ink: PTI Enchanted Evening, Versamark Stamps: PTI Year of Flowers: Violets Other: Filigree White Embossing Powder, PTI EE twill ribbon, flat rhinestone stickers, corner rounder

May Blog Hop.

This month we were challenged to use yellow.  It doesn't seem like it would be that hard, but for some reason, it can be.  I do love the combination of Berry Sorbet and Lemon Tart, so I stamped the big flower from PTI's Everyday Classics  in Berry Sorbet on white, then cut it out.  The small flowers are stamped in SU Ruby Red and popped up on dimensionals.  For the leaves, I used the wings from the birds in that set.  Enjoy! Paper: PTI White, Bitty Dot Lemon Tart Ink: PTI Berry Sorbet, SU Certainly Celery, Ruby Red Stamps: PTI Everyday Classics, Friends 'Til the End Other: Dimensional tape, corner rounder

Lil' Inker Designs Mini Release Blog Hop

Hello, friends!  So glad you're here, hopping with us.  (Go here  to see the full blog hop order.)  I am excited to show you this brand new stamp from Lil' Inker Designs , which is part of their May Mini Release.  Leave comments on any of the blogs in this hop to enter to win one of the new stamp sets, the new cover plate, or the angel pets goodies!  Details on the Lil' Inker Designs Blog . This stamp is called Never Regret Being Kind. (Keep hopping, and you'll see more!) One of the things I love most about this hobby is that it is inherently kind.  So what could be better than a stamp that encourages even more kindness?  Such a great sentiment! This stamp is easy to use as the focal point of a card...so easy, in fact, that I made 4 right out of the gate!  Each one uses a different technique--this stamp is so versatile. For my first, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on steel grey cardstock.  I then colored over the embossing with my Copics for a m
