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 🙂

How to set up your PTI Stamps

Hi Everyone,

Since I was setting up my new stamp sets and others have asked how you set up the PTI (Paper Trey Ink) stamps that I would do a quick video. So….

Oh and by the way. My craftroom that was so clean the other day…Today it’s a disaster. I have no idea what happened? OK I do….There is paper everywhere, stamp sets all over and I can barely get to my computer…so before I head out to work on this rainy morning, I’m going to clean it up….Have a great Friday and hugs to all….

ProMarkers Tutorial

Updated to answer a few questions: 
1. What paper did I use? Neenah Cardstock, it’s my favorite when working with markers like ProMarker and Copic.
2. Can you refill ProMarkers? I checked around and I don’t see that you can refill these markers. 
3. How do I like them compared to Copic? To be honest these are right up there with Copic and the price is much less. $1.49 as compared to Copic at $3.95 for Sketch or $2.79 for Caio.

Hi All,
So a few weeks ago I was contact by Letraset, the company that makes ProMarkers to try them out. I’ve seen a video here and there of others using them and thought they looked pretty cool. They are really awesome. I love love love the fine point for coloring, I feel like I have more control over the marker.
Here’s a video on a stamped image I was working on…

Here is a card I made using the image I colored with the ProMarkers….

Whiff of Joy Stamps

Hi All,
First I wanted to take a minute and say thanks to all that helped me test  and participated in the commenting yesterday. I so enjoyed and loved being able to be in touch with you. That was fun…You left a comment, I replied, some of you replied again AWESOME!. And a few even replied to others. That is just great. It’s a little built in message forum….

EDITED TO ADD: If you have a TJ Maxx in your area and are looking for the XL Eyelets by We R Memory Keepers, go and check them out. We (me and mom) found some at our local store and have heard of others that found them at their stores. They are $1.99 for the bulk packs. Mine only had the yellow and tan. They also had a few package of the 24 pack multi colored eyelets too.

Oh wow! I just love the Whiff of Joy stamps….I started this one the other day, but haven’t decided yet what to do with it….Card? Tag?

Cards with Christina

Wow I just noticed that this is my 201st post. I’ve been blogging since May of 2008 and I love sharing my creations with you. Maybe I’ll have a little something to share after my stop at the CK Convention this weekend:) I love sharing and celebrating!

One more card using the “Everyday Button Bits” stamp from PTI. How sick are you hearing me say PTI? I used kraft and basic black cardstock from Stampin’ Up! some linen thread and this cute bicycle paper is from K&Co.


Happy Crafting,
Christina
