Papertrey September BLOG HOP Challenge

Welcome to my BLOG today. It's the 25th, so time for the
Papertrey Ink September Blog Hop!!


The challenge was to "Wrap It Up". You can find the inspiration photo below but go here
for more details.
OH WHAT FUN!!! I still have many different ideas brewing in my head and this is only
one of them so be sure to hop around and check out all those talented people out there
participating today!!







So I decided I wanted to make some sort of wrap for a 3 wick candle from Bath and Body Works as I love to give these as teacher gifts.  So I pulled out my Front and Center die and started cutting green felt that I have an abundance of this year.  I die cut three of them and stitched the sides together on my sewing machine. The bottom formed a triangle on it's own by pulling them together at the base so I stitched those three sides until there was no longer a hole in the center. Much of the height was taken up when I did this so it worked out perfect for the shorter 3 wick candle.

  I embellished using Leaf Prints Dies, Mat Stack 5 Layerz(with Bitty dot paper),Spring Moss and Simply Chartreuse CS, felt and buttons. Dark chocolate Ink and buttons. Wreath For All Seasons Stamp Set(Happy). Orange Zest Ink and a few other non PTI supplies were the twine and Close To My Heart Charm Alphabet Set. My sewing machine and thread of course.

Here is a close up below. I ended up flipping the leaf prints dies to get the reflection of them as well as the stamped sentiment image that Betsy showed us how to do on the MIM this week. What a fun technique that was too!

Anyway, hope you enjoy your Blog hopping today, I know I will!!    TTFN!

Make It Monday #83: Card Aisle Inspiration

Here's my second take on the Make It Monday
this week. The inspiration card is below my card. I
don't have the polka dot stamps and the Background Basics: Postmarks
was the closest thing I could find. I better put that on my wish list!!
If I did it again I think I would start a bit more off the top of the card
so everything shifts up a couple rows. Overall, I like the look. Thanks for stopping!!

SUPPLIES: New Leaf, Blueberry Sky, Pure Poppy and Orange Zest ink.
Memento black ink. BB:Postmarks, Tag It's 10, Just the Ticket and Limitless
Labels Stamps

Make It Monday # 83: Card Aisle Inspiration

For this week's Make It Monday, the wonderfully talented Melissa Phillips challenged us to get
inspiration from the card aisle and here is the card I chose:

And here is the card I came up with for today.



Everything is PTI with a few exceptions like the Quickutz present die and the rhinestones.
Any questions about supplies I used, just leave me a comment. Just too many to list today!!
Have fun with your Make It Monday!! I had a ball, such fun!!

Make It Monday # 82: Cutting Stamps

Here's a Layout I started when CKC was here in Buffalo but just found the time to actually put it together with a title. I am waiting on the birthday photos.
I used Big from Big and Bold Wishes and Birthday from Think Big Favorites #12 Summer Sunrise and Orange Zest Ink. Thanks for stopping by today!!

Make It Monday # 82: Cutting Stamps

I switched gears a bit to do a layout. These are a few of my favorite pictures of my daughter. I used the Big from Big and Bold Wishes for the stamp to cut. The whole stamp was Wish Big so I just cut it in half. The "Beautiful" is from a Close To My Heart set and the "smile" is fro.m an old Fiskars set.

The rest of the papers I used were all scrap pieces. I also used Beautiful Blooms and layered them with pop dots for some dimension. Stamped the middle one with Half & Half stamp.  That's about all for now.
