Papertrey Make It Monday #68

Hi,
This has to be the quickest card I've ever made, but I have a feeling I could be making more, especially at Christmas!  I love the look of these pocket cards, great for presenting a gift card.  You can find this challenge at Papertrey Ink.  Hope you enjoy your day, I am off to plant some vegetables.
Cheers,
Val

Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge

Hi,

 

Here is my take on this month's challenge pictured above.  I  enjoyed using  the 2012 Birthday Tags set, although  this is my first time to use it as we are having the most  absolutely gorgeous spring here in many years, so it is sometimes difficult to stay inside!  Hope you are enjoying your spring,

Val

Hi,
I know it is a little early to be posting Christmas cards, but a friend and I are applying in August to enter a local craft fair and we need a few samples to be juried.  My goal is to create 3 cards very different from each other.
Here is the first one, hope you like it!
Have a grand day,
Val

Make It Monday # 65

Hi,

Had a chance to take in the MIM video at Papertrey Ink and whipped up a little something. I very rarely buy patterned paper any more as I found that buying it was my only involvement with it as I rarely use it, so I thought I'd make my own background papers.  Although I love background stamps, I am discovering that other stamps are also useful for backgrounds. Enjoy your weekend,

Val

Paper:  C/S PTI White, Raspberry Fizz, Chartreuse, Spring Moss

MIM # 64 Color Inspiration

 

Hi,

Thought I'd share a card with the above color scheme from this week's Papertrey Ink challenge.  This proved to be a good exercise, as I don't think I would have chosen these colors on my own. I am really liking the Lovely Leaves stamp set;  I like that I can stamp the outline of the leaves in one color, and fill them in with another.  Enjoy your day,

Val
