A Little Winter Papertrey!

I was fortunate enough to spy and purchase a Papertrey Ink set with die to match which contained these ice skates - I love them! In fact I love everything Papertrey! The die I have used at the bottom of this card is actually from MFT but this release of Papertrey contains two very similar dies which actually have an improved design from this one. The die is designed in such a way that it has 'extra' metal at the bottom to help with 'lining up' - this saves the sticky tape that I have to use with mine for the same purpose!

Something a Little Different!

I have been working incredibly hard over the summer making cards that I have been fortunate enough to sell. This is one of them. I do like using black and white with a good accent colour and I quite like how the pink is a strong contrast. What would I do without my Papertrey Ink stamps?

At last - a card!

I needed a quick contemporary card and this is what I came up with. The designer paper came from The Paper Mill and I have just recently sent for this set of sentiments from Papertrey Ink.

Another Colourway!

I did say I was on a roll when I started to top up my stash of cards. I used Papertrey Ink cardstock as I love their colour combos. This one is with Lavender Moon and Plum Pudding with some Dark Chocolate. The small sentiment at the bottom is from a set by Lizzie Anne Designs. The stamps are made from red rubber and stamp out beautifully.

ANOTHER FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO - AQUA MIST AND SPRING MOSS!

How could anyone just have one favourite from Papertrey Ink! I love so many of their colour combos. Anyway, I had decided to use my Beautiful Blooms stamp set with this colour combo so I went to get it ...... I am still looking for it. It is driving me insane - I so love that set - especially the leaves and how the little flowers were specially designed to work with the little Cuttlebug flower dies. I'm sure it will turn up as I know that no one has borrowed it. Instead I used this Stampin' Up punch set and it worked really well for this card.

Thank you cards!

SWEET BLUSH, BERRY SORBET AND DARK CHOCOLATE

Things have been so busy here coming up to the end of term. Everyone seems to need thank you cards and thank you gifts! I just received some Stampin' Up items I ordered recently and thought I would like to try them out. I do so love Papertrey Inks colour combo of Berry Sorbet and Sweet Blush. This is such a simple card to make - it would be so easy to make it in bulk. This photo probably isn't the best as I took it just this evening not in the best of light.

A Quick Card!

Can it ever be too hot to craft? ... I think it must have been as I haven't been too industrious over the last few days. However, I needed a birthday card for a friend at short notice so I took a card I had made a couple of weeks ago which I had purposely left blank and added a simple sentiment. Both the flower and sentiment are by Papertrey Ink. This flower is lovely to colour - it is the kind of image that always seems to turn out ok!

Boards and Beams

I absolutely love Papertrey Ink! I love their ink, their cardstock, their stamp sets .... and their ideas! This card is made with their Boards and Beams set - it is really easy to colour with Copics and I liked how it turned out with the fushia pink and brown - a different colour combination for me!
