Papertrey Ink Anniversary – Building Blocks of Design

February 13th, 2014 klwade Posted in Cardmaking, Crafts | No Comments »

Dawn-Sketches

So for todays challenge, we had to go to each of the designers, roll the dice to determine our numbers (1-6) and see what you get

For my cards I got

Color Selection #1 Harvest Gold

Color Se;ection #2 Razberry Fizz

Color Selection #3 Melon Berry

Neutral Selection True Black

Occassion Selection Thank you

Technique Selection Watercolor

Embelishment Selection Button

Fiber Selection Embriodery Floss

Sketch Selection was #4 (see above)

 

Many-thanks-card

 

 

So I used the melon berry on the top and used a Impression Obession Cover-all stamp FIZZ to give it some texture. I used the confetti garland die to cut out the Harvest Gold and used the matching stamp set to stamp it with back.  Since I did not have any embroidery floss that matched, I dyed white floss with the melon berry stamp pad!  I ran the floss thru 3 true black Papertery Ink buttons along the garland.   I stamped a Thank You with the papertrey Ink Think Big Favorites #19 Stamp and watercolored the image with Anna Griffin water color markers.  Using a spellbinder circle and scallop circle die I was able to cut out the circle and framed it.

 

Enjoy

Papertrey Ink Anniversary – Polaroid Kids

OK, I really struggled to do this…. my creativity was a little off today.   It took me all day to make two cards.   But I guess that happens to all of us at one time or another.  So I reached into my box of papertrey ink dies and pulled out the Framed Out Die #12.  It reminded me of a little polaroid.  So I took some striped paper and paper that looked like frames and made the card.  However I needed something to put in the frames.  I remembered that some of my October Afternoon paper had some little kids, so here they are!!!

From my stash was some flowers from K&Co. and added to the top of the stripes.  Wha-LA!!! Done!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary – Making Plaid

Todays challenge is using stripes.  I thought I would take a twist and make plaid from a single stripe stamp (Mama Elephant stripe set)  So I am channeling my inner Laura Bassen.   Laura loves to make plaid using a single stripe.   I had always wanted to try this so I became Laura and stamped away….OK not the best Laura because there were mistakes.  But I am sure the first time she also made errors.   I used Papertrey Ink colors Scarlet Jewel, Pure Poppy,  Summer Sunrise, Limeaid, New Leaf.  I also used the Love die from the Papertrey Ink One Liner Die set.

For this card I wanted something that was simple and was just the word happy.  Using the Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words Die Collection, I just did a tri color card and die cut hello three times.   I used Papertrey Ink cardstock Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise and Orange Zest.

Papertrey Ink Anniversary – Together

Todays challenge  is making a word the focal point of the card.   I have the Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words Together Die.   I am still loving the paperpack I just bought and really liked the gold and cream paper but was not sure how to use it, that is until today.   I just watch a video reminding people that you can emboss an entire die cut.  Hmmm, I have embossing powder and this awesome “Together” die cut.  Whah-La!!!! Magic!  Now what goes with gold….hmmmmm, romance, champagne!   Oh yes, I have that awesome champagne die from My Favorite Things.   I cut the glasses from vellum and white cardstock and used some light gold shimmer paper from the Paper Source for the liquid.  To make additional bubbles I used the Starform glitter stickers.   I LOVE these stickers  They add just a little extra something to cards, and for a mere $2.00 I get hundreds of round stickers of many tiny sizes.    They have many colors, this one is the transparent glitter with gold.
