PTI 5th Anniversary--Day1

Very quick post today as I'm waiting on a phone call from work to go in. Gosh I dislike being on call but hey it's part of my job. But as I waited, I wanted to get something made for Day 1 of Papertrey Ink's 5th Annviversary Celebration!

I am very inspired by Betsy Veldman's style lately so I thought I would use her "favorites" today and share my version. I really liked this post by Betsy where she pulled so many cards together using several PTI stamp sets. For mine, I've used Sending You, Big and Bold Wishes, and Flower Garden. Disclaimer: the red stamped flowers were stamped using the new Pure Poppy ink pad. hmmmmm. Doesn't look like Pure Poppy to me. (I should have used my old version! LOL)

Thanks for stopping by today!

ShoeBox Projects

As promised, here are the ShoeBox projects that we completed while at Stampin' Away!

First up, is the card I designed as my project. The inspiration for the colors for this card, admittedly came from a SU flyer. But the goodness on the card is ALL PTI!! I think I am in love with these Button Bits stamp sets! This flower image just sold me on this set and you don't even have to use buttons for it to be useful! Really, nothing fancy here on my card but I really like how it turned out especially with that large sentiment!

Next up, is the card designed by Jen Carter. This card uses PTI goodies as well starring Green Thumb. I don't personally own this set so it was so much fun to stamp with it! I used her set to make another card that will be posted at a later date.

Next, is a card designed by Barb Foster. Her card uses a very popular TAC set called Victorian Elements and the rock 'n roll technique. Very fun and I love the results!!

Next up, is a card designed by Laurie Willison. Her card uses a stamp set from TAC as well called Wonder and Joy. And if you like to color, this is a set for you! I got in on using OMS and Prismacolor pencils for coloring this one! I stamped off some other images from this set (thanks Barb) so that I can practice some more coloring!

Lastly, is a card designed by Brenda Hauff. This card uses a stamp set from TAC too! This set is called Dear Friend. Here I used a different coloring medium: Copics!! I need lots more practice but it turned out so pretty!
