Papertrey Ink Challenge

 

For this Challenge Kayva made an amazing card with Happy Birthday on it in Braille. The challenge calls for texture with dies and or heat embossing.

I decided to use the dies that go to one of my first Papertrey Ink sets........Happiness in Blooms. I love this set still to this very day and I don't think it will ever date. I used the dies only to make my flowers and then added a coordinating button in the centers. I love to use buttons on my cards but often struggle with how to add them and this was so easy. It adds further texture to the card. My background was heat embossed with the rustic brick background and then I lifted my heat embossed sentiment with dimensionals and lastly added a few sequins as a finishing touch.  I had fun with this challenge and look forward to seeing others interpretations. Happy Cardmaking! Lyn

Melissa's Fab Friday

I have only just managed to squeeze this in, life has been busy and I have so wanted to play along with the challenges. I think Papertrey Ink/ Ink to Paper will always be a very favourite of mine and today I played with a few things that I had not yet used. A mix of both Ink to Paper and Papertrey goodies.

Mojo Monday 557

 I spotted Julee's beautiful card on my reading list and have recently been playing with my beloved Verve stamps to make some special cards. It has been a while and I love getting my verve stamps all inky again. Here is the sketch with Julee's beautiful card

Here is my card inspired by the sketch :) so happy to have been able to make a card for Mojo Monday

NBUS Challenge #23

 Oh my goodness I have enough NBUS to play along for the next five to ten years I think :). The stamp I opened is from Taylored Expression as I thought I would also play along with their Facebook Challenge this month. This Grumpy Cat has some awesome sayings but today this particular one suited me most :)

I cut some cardstock into strips and made the backing then stamped my cat and was about to diecut him out and decided I liked the look of him on the white square so there he stayed.

I am not off to visit some of the other bloggers cards :) hope everyone is well and has good coffee in the house!

Ink to Paper Challenge

 The lovely Shauna was a Guest designer for this challenge and created a beautiful birthday card with a gorgeous set in the December release. I have added this to my wish list (Vintage Flair) a long list :)

I decided to use a favourite set of mine which was a freebie with a  purchase some time back and I love so much about it........the font is gorgeous and I just love birthday cakes.

Ink to Paper Challenge

 The latest challenge is to make a 'Sending Love' card. As soon as I saw the sending I thought of a beautiful sentiment die I have in a gorgeous kit from a few years back. I love this set and stamped my flowers with two of my very favourite Ink to Paper colours..........Raspberry fizz and the best pink in the universe Lovely Lady. 

Off to browse my blog read, to those that visit thanks for dropping by and may you have a blessed and creative day.

Use a heart Melissa's Fab Friday Feature

 

I love Melissa's creations and how she builds those layers in her cards. I used an older set called XOXO which has hearts galore in it. I love the style of this particular heart and used it to cover the background. I thin added a diecut sentiment and that is pretty much it. I am loving going through older sets and making cards but also looking forward to the upcoming release.
