Make It Monday: #53-Creative Coasters

So, here's my last take at this MIM challenge. I'll be glad to do a different technique as much as I
enjoyed this.  I used my houndstooth folder to emboss the coaster first. Inked it up a bit Then I used Mat Stack #4 to make a frame. I used a dark chocolate card base then some pretty pp that matched the Autumn
Rose CS perfectly. I used fillable Frames #10 on Autumn Rose and some ribbon from my stash.
That all for now. Have a great week eveyone!!

Make It Monday: #53-Creative Coasters

Here is another take at the Make It Monday challenge found here:
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/make-it-monday/

I wanted to do something a little different with this one so I decided to make a tag/gift card holder. I wanted to wait to adhere any ribbon, not really knowing what I would attach this to and how.
Anyway, I embossed the coaster with a cuttlebug folder, spritzed it with Perfect Pearls mist and stamped the Thank You from Botanical Silhouttes. I attached a little pocket to the back for a place to put a gift card.

Thanks for looking!

Here's another card for the MIM challenge found here: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/make-it-monday/
I embossed the coaster with a cuttlebug folder with the candles and swiped a couple ink pads over it for some color. Then I put the coaster on some patterned paper. Added a double ended banner die with Happy Birthday from Inside and Out: Birthday. Some PTI ribbon and that's all. Thanks for looking!!

PTI MIM Challenge found here:
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/make-it-monday/

I have one more for now and the coaster board are the Butterflies!!  I tried my best to peel apart the layers to give them some dimension. Lost a few pieces but for the most part it worked out.

I am trying to use PP more, this is a challenge in itself for me. Unless it's something that came together, I find it difficult to put pp with other things and designs. Anyway, this PP was a piece of K & Co. Que Sera Sera, I think. I think it's so pretty! I used a doily spritzed with Sunflower Sparkle Perfect Pearls Mist. Adhered the Tim Holtz Die cut Butterflies with glossy accents(the only thing that would stick!) Found a felt flower that wanted to join the party. Added some rhinestones.
I added the PTI Just The Ticket Die and sentiment at the bottom.  I think I could say I had a productive evening last night!!  Thanks for looking!! Let me know what you think!

So, can you tell, I really like this challenge??  Find it here:

http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/make-it-monday/

I was a very busy girl last night creating. My daughter had a friend sleepover so I was on
my own more or less. It was very nice to have some ME time!

Anyway we had to use a coaster and I embossed mine with a cuttlebug folder and then used Mat Stack 5 Layers to die cut it. I did bling it up a little with Perfect Pearls Mist in Pearl-love this!! I also used DCWV
Lemon Flower Stack for my PP and used an EK success border punch. I stamped the sentiment using PTI Think Big Fav's # 3. Cut some PTI felt in Harvest Gold using Beautiful Blooms 1 and a piece of gray CS. Layered them up and topped them with a PTI button and some twine and I was done!!
One more and I'm done. :) Jen

Papertrey Ink Anniversary- Movers and Shakers Challenge

Another spinner card for the challenge over at Papertrey Ink found here: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/
I thought a falling leaf would be kinda cool so that's what I did. I used Canyon Clay for the background and stamped little acorns around with Canyon Clay ink. I used Autumn Abundance PP, Canyon Clay and Rustic Cream CS. I used the XL rick rack to have the leaf slide in. The top piece was made with a fiskers punch and the sentiment box was a portion of Mat Stack 5.

Wreath for All Seasons, Limitless Labels Stamp Sets, PTI leaf die
Other supplies-Embossing Folder.   Fun, fun, fun!!!

Thanks for looking!!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary- Movers and Shakers Challenge

Today is the last of the challenges over at Papertrey Ink because tomorrow is the big release for Feb. You can find the challenge here: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/

This was so much fun!!  I guess sometimes you should try something new even when you don't think you'll like it. I really enjoyed making this! I used Tim Holtz Edger dies and then cut the rest with my exacto knife which was very easy. I used a coaster so I can enter the MIM challenge as well. The sentiment says "sip and Relax" . I used Tea for Two and Asian Fusion for stamps. Ripe Avocado, Orange Zest and Spring moss for the card base. I also used foam adhesive so I'd have room to slip in a tea bag behind the coaster.  

Have a great day!!

Make It Monday: #53-Creative Coasters

First let me apologize for the rotten picture. I could not get one without the glare. I used Perfect Pearls Mist and it sure is glimmery!!  This card is for the Make It Monday over at Nichole's blog. You can find the challenge here:
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/02/make-it-monday-53-creative-coasters.html

I first used Tumbled Glass(Tim Holtz) on my coaster and then Perfect Pearls mist. I then used Turning A New Leaf to die cut the coaster. I stamped Merci on the bottom of the coaster(the part you can barely see) with Raspberry Fizz. I stamped on Hibiscus Burst using Turning A New Leaf stamp with Hawaiian Shores Ink to get the pretty purple color on the CS layer behind the coaster. I had the butterfly floating around just waiting to be used on a project someday.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-heart challenge

So, our challenge today over at Papertrey Ink http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/ is to make something using hearts, any hearts of any kind. I have a little peek at something I'm doing for Valentine's Day but I don't want to completely ruin in for those that may be reading this. I will show more of this maybe later in the week.  So that's all for now. Everyone have a great weekend!!



Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Sketch Challenge

Back to sketch #2. I decided to incorporate another MIM as well and this is what I came up with tonight.


I started out with Mat Stack #4 and stamped on both sides of it but in red and black. I embossed my Pure Poppy CS with a Tim Holtz embossing folder that was inked up before I ran it through my Vagabond. I used the Wine Bottle Tag die to cut my PP and heat embossed my sentiment from Asian Fusion onto my Double Ended Banner die cut and that was that.  Now, I need to go to bed. I hate to do it because I could really keep making cards ALL night again but I think it's catching up with me and I do have an early day tomorrow. So,  have a great evening!

Here's my link of inspiration from the talented Lisa Johnson: http://pinterest.com/pin/236861261621887210/    I thought it was a great card for sympathy and a swap out of blush CS made it even softer. I used Stitches and Swirls and Think Big Fav's.  See ya next time!

And here is my card:

Here is the link for my inspiration photo: http://pinterest.com/pin/236861261621887236/
It's a card by Maile Belles.  I didn't change much because I loved how clean and simple it was, which is very difficult for me to leave something so very simple! Definitely a challenge!

Okay, so let me apologize for the sideways picture. I turned it the correct way and tried to upload it but it came up with an error and I am in no way a computer geek. I'm lucky to be able to post by myself, so you'll have to turn you're head....SORRY!  All PTI supplies.

I really enjoyed working with Dawn's favorite colors so I stuck with them tonight.  Here's my next card for the color challenge over at : http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/


A simple birthday card but I never seem to have enough!  The Autumn Rose was punched with an EK success border punch and the flowers are prima. Rhinestones are Kaiser craft I think and the rest is PTI.
That's all until the next card!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Color Challenge #3


Papertrey is still challenging us everyday until the Feb release on the 15th! It's gonna be a good one!!
For this attempt I used Ashley's favorite colors and here's another Birthday card to add to my stash:

I used Hawaiin Shores for the card base and a border punch with an extra strip of blush stuck in there on the end. Then I used the Cane Impression plate on the Berry Sorbet CS. Stamped the HB from Think Big Fav's
onto Simply Char. and cut it from In The Meadow snow Border. Attached a little paper tail. The flower was made with Beautiful Blooms #1. A little harvest gold felt stuck in the middle.  I'm not sure if I'll get to another tonight but see ya"ll tomorrow!!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Color Challenge

For my next card I used:

I started out by cutting a frame out of Rasp Fizz CS from one of my spellbinders dies. I then used Berry sorbet to make the flowers using Friends Til The End. A Rasp Fizz button and felt for the centers. The leaves were done with Ripe Avocado CS.  I stamped the background lightly with grass from Botanical Silhouettes, as well as the sentiment. This also fits into the Make It Monday category so I will enter that challenge as well.
Thanks for checking it out!
Jen

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Color Challenge

 

                       
These were the colors I got my inspiration from and I absolutely love everything Melissa Phillips makes!
The base of my card is hibiscus burst and I die cut a flower from Rasp Fizz(Friends Til The End), stamped it with Rasp Fizz and adhered it to a silk flower. Added some leaves from Turning a New Leaf and a little border with an EK success punch out of Autumn Rose.  That's about all for now. Oh, the cute little owl stamp is from Avocado Arts!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Sending My Love

Wow, this is it for real. My last card. I used Maile Belles design again and turned it into a Valentine card. I used the Wine Bottle Die and the Double Ended Banner Die. Embossed my card with a Sizzix heart folder. Pop dotted the image in the opening left from cutting the wine bottle die out. Added a sentiment from CTMH. Tied on some bakers twine with a polymer clay heart (that I made) dangling from the banner.

That's it!! Nite Nite!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Hello

For this card I chose the image that Maile Belles designed. I did two takes on it tonight. I used Mat Stack 4 twice. Cut the orange in half after stamping it with Background Basics, Adhered the other on top, added some bling and that was it. A very quick and easy card!!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary-Birthday- Rock Star!

Another birthday card, one can NEVER have enough!  I used Men of Life PP,Poppy CS, Half & Half Die, the cassette that Erin Lincoln designed,( pop dotted it for dimension.) The other stamps were another set but I'm not sure by whom.
