PTI January Blog Hop Challenge

So it's been a while since I've posted - sorry.  Between work and the holidays I've been swamped.  But what a better way to start off the new year and my blog again with PTI's blog hop.  This is my first time entering the challenge so I'm hoping I did it correctly.  So the challenge is to use a stamp set that you either have yet to use or haven't used in a while.  I chose the later cause I usually use all my stamps immediately upon arrival (I literally tear open the box before my bag and coat are down) but then sometimes don't go back to them for a while.  So I used two of my favorite sets.  The first is the Tea for Two Additions and the other is the Fly Away set which I love and promise to use more often (hopefully once they make a die for the plane - hint*hint*).  I was actually on a role and so I made a bunch for a gift but that's for another day... =)  Hope you like them.  Naz

A Tweet Little Bird-Day Card

 

I made this sweet little birthday card for one of my best friends.

You can click on the pictures for more detail.  I think it came out

adorable looking...and it was really alot of fun to make.  I loved

coloring the birdhouses and then cutting them out and "hanging"

them from the "tree branch".

Bird, birdhouse and outside sentiment stamps are from Unity. 

The "tree branch" is really a flourish from a CTMH stamp.  And

the frame and inside sentiment are PTI stamps.  All of the paper

is from CTMH.  The ribbon is from the Craft Expo.  I also used

my fiskars scissors, my Liquid Pearls, and my Copics to decorate.

Hope you enjoy it!!  Naz

Happy Birthday Pigs!!

I made this card for one of my nephew's birthday.  I really liked the colors of the card and he loved the little bell that I attached to the card.  Couldn't stop shaking it... It was a pretty simple card.  Stamped out the pigs on white cardstock (aren't the pigs just darling?) and cut them out.  Added some color and liquid glass to thier nose, ears and cupcakes and then matted them with some textured paper.  The same with the sentiment.  Tied some ribbon with of course the bell and waalaa..

Hope you like it...

H2H Challenge - 19

This is a fun little card that I made for the H2H Challenge. 

I cut out a card using white cardstock (A2) then adhered it with some patterned paper.  Used the corner rounders on the sides.

Put stripes of coordinating paper on the left cutting each layer with my fiskars scissors.  Stamped out the sentiments on some white cardstock.  Matted a couple of the sayings and then popped the rest.  Added a glitter dot on the "This Way to Fun" and tied some ribbon on the side.  This is the first time that I used this set and I had a lot of fun with it.

You Rock!!!

I made this card for a few of my nieces. You can't really tell but the cards are really sparkly.

Except for the little strip of paper on the inside of the card...the entire card was stamped with the You Rock CTMH stamp. To get the guitar to look a little psychedelic...I inked the stamped with a few different inks...the color came out fabulously.

Reach For The Stars - Spinner Card

I made this card for one of my little nephews. He's going to have so much fun playing with it--I know I did...I was addicted. I just kept spinning the little monkey back and forth...back and forth...back and forth...well, you get the idea.

Made the card out of tulip card stock. Stamped some paper with the grid lines from PTI then stamped in the monkey and dream big images from a CTMH stamp set.

I cut the little insert out for my spinner and marked my cardstock so I could line up the "reach for the stars" stamp. I then mounted the stamped cardstock over the base. I adhered a little bit of embossed cardstock to the card. I punched out a couple of circles - embossed them and mounted them onto the card. I cut out the dream big image and covered it with liquid glass and glued to the circles and I added some twine.

For the spinner I cut out a circle, mounted two pennies to the back using the foam mount (which I cut in a circle--that's how the spinner spins) and then added my image. I also added liquid glass on my image and stuck the spinner into the grooves.

Hope you enjoy...

One Of A Kind..

Another simple card using CTMH stamp.

The image was stamped on white cardstock and mounted with some baby blue embossed cardstock (did the same for the sentiment). [I have to say the image stamped out perfectly--that's what you get when you use CTMH stamps. The quality of their stamps is excellent--I've discovered this by ordering other acrylic stamps--huge quality difference. I added a couple of sparkles and some ribbon and mounted to my card.] The patterned paper was from my stash (I got this paper for super cheap at one of the scrapbooking expos). I used my fiskars to cut the bottom of the paper and added some liquid pearls. I think the card turned out cute--great for a birthday for one of your girlfriends...

Sweet...Birthday Cards.

A really quick and simple sweet birthday card.

I used some paper from DCWV called Sweet Shoppe--gorgeous papers--they look good enough to eat. I'm trying to be good and using some paper from my stash... Did I mention that I was a paper (actually any supply) hoarder? ;)

I stamped the cake image from the February Stamp of the Month from CTMH -- the stamps go great with this paper and matted it with some embossed paper. I cut the bottom of the card with my handy dandy scissors and added some sparkles, a ribbon, and some liquid pearls and wallah...

It's A ZOO!!!

Hippos! Elephants! Giraffes! Lions! Oh My!!

I love these little animals and they go perfectly with the animal crackers background. Although you can't tell, all of the animals have liquid glass on them --they are adorable--aren't they? Perfect of baby showers....birthdays.....little boys....

Hope you enjoy them!

I'm trying to get better remembering the name of the stamp sets and the paper I used...I'll have to start jotting it down while I'm making the cards..
