I have a couple of projects for you today.  There are so many goodies released this month, and I had so much fun creating.  There is such a wide variety of products that I'm sure you'll find something you love.

First up is the project I couldn't wait to start.  This Sunflower Background stamp is gorgeous no matter how it's colored.  I decided to make these flowers into purple coneflowers, because I have them growing in my yard, and they are just so summery.

Everything is colored with Copic markers, and I tried something new for me, which is to fill in the background with a black marker.  I love how it makes the flowers stand out.  This was so much fun to color, and I can't wait to try other combinations!

The Hello Word Die was just the perfect sentiment to add that wouldn't obscure the background.  I die cut it three times on white cardstock and layered everything for some dimension.



Next up is the Floral Wreath Stencil.  First I ink blended some white pigment ink through the stencil onto dark blue cardstock, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the top of the ink.  This technique helps the colors to stand out on dark cardstock, which I love.


The sentiment inside the wreath is from the Boho Rainbow stamp set, and it fits perfectly.  (There are more rainbows!!!)  Again, I stamped it in white, then used colored pencil over the top.  After I colored everything, I used a shimmer pen on the flowers, which is hard to see here, but you can see a little of the stray glitter which escaped...



This month's release is going to knock your socks off!  Keep hopping to see all of the amazing products available in the store now.

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

July Blog Hop

This month's Blog Hop challenge was to use text as a background. I haven't done that in a while. I chose to use the script paper from Raspberry Fizz patterned paper, and I went crazy and made two cards. Yahoo. For this first card, I traced a Maya Road flower, knotted a piece of ribbon and poked it through a hole in the center. The New Leaf ribbon is just looped a little and adhered to itself. This second card didn't turn out quite as well as I had envisioned, but it works fine. It's for a friend of mine, and I just wanted to have a bunch of different kinds of hearts to represent different personalities. Card #1 Paper: PTI White, Bitty Dot black pattern paper, Raspberry Fizz, RF patterns Other: Maya Road flower for template, Raspberry Fizz and New Leaf satin ribbon, dimensional tape Card #2 Paper: PTI White, black, RF patterns Ink: Versafine Onyx, SU PassionPink Stamps: PTI Heart Prints

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...
