I used the Build A Banner stamp set with coordinating die set and I also used the Double End Banner die set with the Everyday Buttons Stamp set for the sentiment. Gotta love Paper Trey Ink.

Happy Happy Monday

Hi
I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother’s Day Weekend. Yesterday we went out to dinner with my mom, Scott’s parents, and Scott’s brothers family. It was such a nice time. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Scott and Ethan for a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Last night I realized I never made any videos for this coming week. I think I needed the weekend to relax after the two week marathon of video making :). Glad to be back to my normal schedule….I really struggled on what to make until I came across the book feature on Elegant Edges. I really like all those shapes and welding them together to make a card base makes this cartridge even more versatile.

Here is your video for today…

Supplies: 
Cardstock: Black (Paper Trey Ink), White (Neenah); Pattern Paper: October Afternoon (Modern Homemaker), Stamps: Fillable Frames #1 and #10 (Paper Trey Ink); Ribbon: Black Stitched (Paper Trey Ink); Misc. ATG Gun, Fountain Pen Ink (Jenni Bowlin), Cough Syrup Ink (Jenni Bowlin), Bumpy Road Punch (EK Success)

Have a great day
Hugs and happy crafting,

Masculine Card

Happy Friday…
No video today, I’m still a little swollen from the having the wisdom tooth pulled…

I was flipping through some paper and came across this really dark gray pattern paper and thought it would make a great masculine card…so I combined it with some Paper Trey Ink stamps and dies….

Hi There (Paper Trey Ink)

Happy Wednesday…
Is everyone thinking about the weekend? I know I am 🙂

I was in a stamping mood this weekend and made this card to have in my stash.

Today’s card is with Paper Trey Ink’s Flower Fusion #1 die and Flower Fusion #1 & #2 stamp sets. I also used Paper Trey Ink’s Vintage Cream card stock, Simple Chartreuse and Lemon Tart Ink, as well as Stampin’s Up! Chocolate Chip ink. I did some crazy sewing around the edges and added a little more detail to the flower with some Black Enamel Accents that I found at Michael’s.

Have a great day
Hugs and happy crafting 🙂

Paper Trey Ink Dies and Stamps

Happy Monday,
Thank you all so much for the Ethan’s birthday wishes. He had a great day and enjoyed his pirate party so much…I put pictures of the party over on my facebook page if anyone wants to see….

I’m a little behind on email so if you emailed me over the past week or so and haven’t heard from me, I hope to get caught up over the next day or two 🙂

Now down to today’s video…Tons of requests to see how the Paper Trey Ink dies work with the Cuttlebug and Big Shot….So here it is….I do recommend the metal shim if you plan on using felt with the PTI dies. Paper Trey Ink’s felt is yummy 🙂

Have a great Monday 🙂
