Make It Monday #146 Angled Backgrounds


The first of my Valentine cards! 




     I cut a piece of white cardstock, 4"x 5.25" and covered it with red & white washi
     tapes laid at an angle. Die cut 3 hearts from panel and attached it to a top folding
     A2 card. Using the same 3 heart dies on silver cardstock, placed them inside
     washi tape panel negative spaces and added 3 silver sequins. The sentiment
     strip was stamped, the heart colored with a crimson Berol Prisma color pencil,
     and mounted with foam dimension tape
.

May Your Days be Merry & Bright

Make It Monday #140
Ink Pad Designs






Ashley showed two cards using the uniquely shaped PTI ink pads to color 
the cardstock on her cards. I used little cat eye ink pads, using a mask to keep
it inside the circle. The die cut wreath was stamped with violet ink, leaves
colored with a silver Sharpie and purple/violet Sharpies for the berries. Then a spray
coat of the Shimmer Spritz to make it shiny. I added the ribbon to make it more like
a Christmas ornament mounting it on a silver A2 card.

Leaves fall

Make It Monday #138

Inlaid Die-Cuts






        With PTI's Mighty Oak Die I first die cut a kraft sheet.
        Next used the same die to cut a 4.25 x 5.5  piece of ivory
        card stock removing all of the leaves and tree. 
       The kraft negative die cut sheet was laid over a top fold
       A2 ivory card and various leaves were stamped with Hero Arts shadow inks.
       After removing the kraft sheet, I glued the ivory die cut sheet to the A2 card
       aligning all of  the leaves to show through their holes. Then inlaid the
       kraft die cut tree which had been stamped with gold ink to give it
       some shimmer. Text is from the Mighty Oak stamp set. Voila.

Die: PTI Mighty Oak
Stamps: PTI Might Oak
Ink: Hero Arts Shadow Inks: Butter Bar, Soft Sage, Soft Wheat,
                                               Soft Cantelope, Just Rust, Cup O Joe

Yay! it's your birthday



TRENDY TRIANGLES







I finally unwrapped my new PTI Cover Plate: Triangles Die
and embossed it with the Big Shot on white cardstock. Used
PTI Trendy Triangles Mini Stamp set with various Hero Arts
Shadow Inks to create the rainbow look. PTI Birthday Sentiments
used on banner. Mounted it on Bazille aqua cardstock, a score line
frames the panel.
