Papertrey Ink February 2012 Blog Hop

Supplies:Cardstock:Papertrey Ink White, Summer Sunrise, & Spring Rain, Patterned Paper: October Afternoon, Dies & Stamps: Papertrey Ink Up, Up, and Away and Movers & Shakers Spinners, Ink: Adirondack Black, and Corrugated White cardboard(for clouds).

This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge is all about interactive cards. I don't usually make interactive cards but with Papertrey's new Movers and Shakers collection of dies, its a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I had tried to make several interactive cards during the PTI anniversary challenge but failed miserably and ended up with lots of wasted cardstock. Fortunately, I got my PTI order this week and had the Spinners dies to play around with. PTI's Up, Up, and Away set of hot air balloons seemed perfect for these dies.

The girls loved playing with the balloon up and down the track. I was a little nervous that it would fall apart but it held up just fine.


Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Pages with Papertrey Sketch #6

I love how my 22nd page for the LOAD challenge came out. I used Leigh Penner's Sketch challenge and one of my favorite photos from 2009. I can't sew in real life so I used rub-on stitches but as you can see with the off-kilter line of stitches at the top, I can't make fake stitches right either!

Love the way the layout turned out, especially with the hearts I made from the Papertrey dies for embellishing the title.

Thanks for looking!

Papertrey Make It Monday Glitter Buttons

Here's my 21st layout for this months Layout A Day Challenge which included some glittered buttons I learned how to make in Papertrey Ink Make It Monday video. The paper is Echo Park and I used the Papertrey Wine Bottle Tag Die for the banners that held my title and journaling.

Closeup of the glittered buttons....definitely easier to make than I thought. Amber's video was great at showing me how and I'll definitely be making more of these buttons again.

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Home Sweet Home

This week's Moxie Fab Trigger inspired my card below. Love the colors of red, blue, and green with a hint of brown. The roof reminded me that I had some older A Muse dotted cardstock in my stash. And I embossed my banner with the Woodgrain impression plate I had yet to use.

And instead of using just plain old buttons, I also made some glittered buttons using the technique in this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday video .Glittered buttons are much easier to make that I had thought!



Supplies: Dotted Cardstock: A Muse, Cardstock: Papertrey Ink Rustic Cream, Ink: Papertrey Spring Moss, Ranger Adirondack Espresso, Stamps: Papertrey Ink Everyday Button Bits, Buttons: Papertrey Ink, Impression Plate: Papertrey Woodgrain, Dies: Papertrey Ink Wine Bottle Tag, Glitter: Deco Art, Twine: Twinery Caribbean.
