PTI Blog Hop – January 2012

January 25, 2012 Blog Hop, PTI, Uncategorized

This month, in honor of the new year, we are challenging you to pick your
favorite project from 2011 and share it with al of us!  To take it a step
further, you are also challenged to create a second card that is inspired by
the favorite project you select.  Your new version of an old favorite could
carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets.  We look forward
to seeing your best creations from 2011 as well as one of your first projects
for 2012!
Picking “a” favourite project from 2011 is such a difficult thing to do. Na…. I could not do it. I pick a bunch and finally narrowed it to two. Here is my first favourite card from 2011


I made this card for MIM and love to create my own background using stamps. Recreated another card using this card as an inspiration. I created a background using PTI’s Rosie Posie stamp set. Here is the card for you
Happy Birthday card
I wanted a modern looking background and Rosie Posie stamps are perfect for do that. I also choose lighter colours and kept the sentiment simple on a banner diecut.
Supplies:
Cardstock: SU’s Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and White
Stamp sets: Rosie Posie and Butterfly Dreams from PTI
Inks: Amuse’s Bubblegum,Pappaya, Grass and Ocean ink and SU’s Basic Grey ink
Accessories: Spellbinder’s banner die, cuttlebug.
Second card which is my favourite is this one
I love Modern Basic Stamp set and the striped background I had created. Wanted a modern take on this one too and so changed the colours but kept the layout.
Brighter card
I love grey and any colour together especially orange.Bright and modern and perfect with that sentiment.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Canyon Clay from PTI and white from SU
Stamp sets: Modern Basic and Think Big Favourite from PTI
Ink: Tangerine Tango and Basic Grey from SU and Stazon Black Ink
Thanks so much for visiting! Happy Hopping 🙂

    Beautiful work. I am in love with the stamp “Take a moment to Remember how special you are & How lucky the world is to have you in it.” I have searched and searched the Paper Trey Ink website and have not been able to find it. Can you tell me what stamp set that is from? Thank you so much
