3 Cards to Celebrate PTI

Papertrey Ink is busy celebrating 8 years of beautiful stamps and hosting a lot of fun challenges and giveaways! Yesterday, while I watched the ice and snow fall from the sky, I got super busy playing with some of my admittedly neglected gorgeous PTI stamps. So I have THREE cards to share today to go along with THREE different challenges going on at Nichole Heady's blog :)


This card was created for the Build a Bouquet Challenge. I used a stamp set that I LOVE but just haven't pulled out in a while, the Mini Blooms Set. I also used my VersaMagic chalk inks for the first time in a long while and I'm glad I did. I ended up building six different mini bouquets, fussy cut them, and then rebuilt them into two larger bouquets on the card.

My next card is for the Maile Belles Inspiration challenge! I am SO excited she is back to design stamps again for Papertrey Ink. This was an easy challenge for me since I adore almost every card this woman creates. I used my PTI Bubble Talk stamp set (yes, designed by Maile Belles!) and recreated my favorite card that Maile made with this set...
MEILE BELLES BUBBLE TALK CARD
I used the same design and really just changed out the colors of the stamps and the embellishments. I was clearly still in a blue/purple mood from my first card. I've been adhering the sequins with my new Mini Dots from Glue Dots, and I wish I had been using this product for the past 3 years! It makes the embellishment step so much quicker!

My last card for today was created using the Sketch and Color Combo challenge! Here are the recipes I used for my card...



After all that blue and purple I needed to spice up my colors a bit, so this color recipe really grabbed my attention.


Bonus - This card also uses a NEVER INKED Papertrey stamp set (On the Farm) which is the challenge just announced today(Spring into Action challenge). My dear friend Donna got me this stamp set for my birthday (in September! ack!) and I finally got around to opening up those stamps. Really not sure what took me so long, since I just love this entire set to pieces. I had fun created a little farm scene on my tag!
