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

Erin Lee Creative January Release

 Hi friends! Today we are hopping to show off the newest release from Erin Lee Creative .  Once again there is a host of unique stamps, dies and stencils, as well as some amazing rainbow holographic cardstock. *PRIZES* Be sure to comment on the blog entries in the hop so you can enter to win a $50 voucher to use in the ELC shop .  There will be two winners chosen at random from the comments. On to the projects: For my first card, I wanted to showcase this big and bold sentiment from the new Stay Golden  stamp set.   One of my favorite techniques is coloring with Copic markers over the top of white heat embossing.  It is a great way to make colors pop on dark cardstock.    Doesn't this stamp just beg for vibrant colors? So fun. The next card uses the new Nesting Stars die set, a sentiment from the Stripe Sentiments stamp set (previously released), and some ink blending with the Retro Swirl stencil  (also previously released).  I love how so many products can be used together.   And

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 WMS Blog Waltz

This month's WMS Blog Waltz challenge is to make a birthday card. I have no trouble making cards for girls, but sometimes boy cards elude me. I absolutely LOVE this paper airplane from Free Spirit-Boy , and I think it's perfect for a simple, masculine birthday card. (Inside the card it says, "happy birthday".) Enjoy!
