Love You

Papertrey Ink December Blog Hop










Christmas time is a busy time for all and especially crafters!
We got home from our family Chrismtas in Portland, Oregon late this afternoon. My card is inspired by this sweet, floral heart wreath.  I chose a floral frame, colored it with Copics, and placed it at an angle on the card front. The frame edges were trimmed to fit the card. The word die sentiment was layered on top with a sprinkling of lime green bling. The taupe card front was chosen to reflect on the hillside in the background. No stamping at all on this card - all PTI dies.

Christmas card parade

When it's less than a week before Christmas and you're still crafting cards, it's time to panic!
I've enjoyed older stamp and die sets, pattern papers and using new stuff too!


Card #1
This is a case from tjeter912 on instagram. Seeing her card inspired
me to use dies from PTI Tinsel & Tags and Petite Places Church.



Card #2
Several cards by Mary Rose prompted me to use the Make it Market Holiday
Folk mini kit. I found a preprinted sheet from the kit to embellish.



Cards 3 & 4
 PTI MIM Holiday Folk kit again. The background and center
 panels were cut with PTI Scalloped A2 Vertical dies from PTI
gingham, pattern paper from the folk kit and watercolor cardstock.
