PTI Blog Hop January 2017

The 25th of the month is one of my favorite days because its time for the PTI Blog Hop. I'm excited because I haven't been able to play for a few months. 

The inspiration photo is filled with lots of bold color against the black and white. I was drawn the the cookie at the bottom of the photo.

I cut a piece of striped patterned paper from Echo Park and adhered it on an angle on the lower half of the card. I cut a strip of PTI Lovely Lady and stamped the sentiment from KIS:Birthday. I added the Happy (from One Liner dies) on top. Flowers and leaves from Ruby Rose and Friendly Flowers are cut and heat embossed in clear for a little shine.

Every month I'm always amazed at how differently everyone is inspired by the inspiration photo and can't wait to see what everyone else came up with. 

Thanks so much for stopping in! Have a great day. 

CASology # 219 SPOOKY

Hello craft friends. Its October which means Halloween is right around the corner. To get us in the mood, we have a fun CASology cue word this week:

I don't really make Halloween cards so I didn't have appropriate stamps in my stash for this challenge. So what did I do? I created my card using Halloween themed scrapbook paper from Echo Park. It was a monochromatic green piece with cool spider webs and a few hanging spiders. Definitely more cute than spooky but I have friends who are deathly afraid of spiders who would disagree with the word cute! 

I cut out a portion using my wacky stitched border die. I took the Happy Halloween from another piece of paper from the same collection and added it between the falling spiders. 

Patterned paper for cards could definitely be CAS if colors are kept to a minimum and very little embellishments are used.
