PTI Make It Monday #115

I was very much intrigued by Heather's technique video for Make It Monday. I don't have a lot of impression plates but decided to give it a shot anyway.

My first thought was to make a teacher thank you card with some adhesive backed cork. I used my PTI Hexagon cover plate with the rubber mat to make the impression. Unfortunately as you can see, it didn't impress so well even after running it through my cuttlebug 10 times.



The back was impressed a little...


So I scratched the cork idea and searched all over the house for something else. Finally decided to try some vellum which is making a comeback in the crafting world it seems.



Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
Paper: Memory Box Black, PTI Pure Poppy & Lemon Tart
Stamps: PTI All About You Additions, Everyday Button Bits
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Other: Vellum, PTI Hexagon Coverplate & Double Ended Banner Die

CAS(E) this Sketch #27

I am loving this new challenge blog - CAS(E) this Sketch - because every time I see the challenge, my mind immediately starts racing with ideas. If only I could only get into my craft space when inspiration strikes....





I really pushed myself with this card by using some two stamp sets that don't get a lot of love but I am always pleased with every time I do use them. I paired it up with the gorgeous colors at ColourQ this week.

Play Date Cafe #181

Hello!

The colors at Play Date Cafe this week were a bit challenging for me, wasn't sure what type of card would be best with this pretty color scheme.



After pulling out MANY different sets (do I go graphic, floral??), I resorted to my tried and true sets - Mehndi Medallion and Mega Mehndi Medallion - for a simple birthday card.



I am always pleased with the results from these sets and I think this card can even be used for a man. Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Paper: PTI Enchanted Evening, Melon Berry, and White
Stamps: PTI Mehndi Medallion and Mega Mendhi Medallion, Happy Hexagons
Ink: PTI Enchanted Evening, Melon Berry, and Stampin Up Blush Blossom
Other: PTI Double Ended Banner Die

His & Hers Day 4

Day 4 of class featured a really cool partial die cutting technique I had never tried before.







The technique was pretty easy after I cut the first star. I really love the three dimensional look. Fonts, selection of papers and rounded corners differentiated my hers card over the his card. The Hers colors were inspired by the color story at Play Date Cafe this week.

His & Hers Day 5

Here are two cards I made using some of the tips on Day 5 of His & Hers.







These cards use the same design, same supplies but different colors. I used two different sentiments from the same set, one more masculine looking than the other. I was going to try Amber's embossed embossing on the card but decided to keep it simple with just the dry embossed card front. I wanted to highlight the cute alphabet card so I put it on foam dots.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Memory box, PTI Lemon Tart
Ink: PTI Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz
Stamps: PTI Bitty Baby Blessings
Other: PTI Double Ended Banner Die, Lifestyle Crafts Embossing Folder, K&Co. Alphabet cards, foam squares
