Woodgrain Floral

Hello, Just wanted to add one more idea to the Make-It-Monday layering dye and pigment ink.  I started with white cardstock, Woodgrain stamp and white pigment ink.  I let it dry and then stamped the flowers with dye ink.  I used the Happiness in Bloom set from Papertrey Ink. I will also enter this in The Card Concept "Clean & Graphic" floral challenge. Thanks for stopping by,

Masculine Shadow Stripe

Hello and Happy Friday to you!  Well we made it through ANOTHER blizzard last night.  I think we might make it to spring but I wish it would hurry up this cold and snow is getting to me.  I was thinking how mush I love my hubby this AM and thought it would be nice just to seek a card in his sock drawer to remind him.

This card uses the World's Greatest set from PTI, Cardstock from PTI and Stampin Up and ink from Stampin Up.  The technique is to stamp white pigment ink on white cardstock then stamp dye based ink over the top to create a shadow effect. I stamped the stripes from the Super Stripes set (PTI).  I wanted to enter this in the PTI Make-It-Monday challenge and the "Less is More" Masculine challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Card and Myself

I can not figure out how to post this unless I make a separate post for the PTI site so as stupid as I feel here is my pic with my Happy Birthday card.  The info for the card is in the last post.



Happy 7th Birthday PTI!

Today's cards will be birthday in theme.  The challenge over at Papertrey is to create a birthday card to celebrate with them their 7th anniversary/birthday.  My card is clean and simple with a bit of sparkle.  I also want to enter it in the Card Concept pink challenge.  I started with PTI white card stock and stamped the "happy" in Palette Noir ink.  Colored in the image with Crayola colored pencils then blended the colors with Undo sticker remover. Stamped the birthday form the Pretty Peonies set (PTI). There was a little smudge on the birthday so I added the 1/4" strip of Score-Tape and glittered it.  Mounted it all on a PTI white card base with foam dots. Thanks for stopping by, Sentimentally Sue.

MR & MRS: Clean and Graphic

Hello, I wanted to try just one fun and crazy card for the day.  This might be my last one of the day.  I found a new challenge blog that looks like a lot of fun with some very respective designers. It is called The Card Concept. I like that they honor different style of stamping. So I made this card with that in mind and wanted to try a little twist on the drop shadow technique in the PTI blog. I think I am a Clean and Simple stamper at heart.  I started with PTI white card stock and stamped the mr and mrs in Pallette Noir ink.  The stamps are a very old Stampin Up set called Big Deal alphabet. I then die cut a heart from the Heart Prints dies(PTI) from white and Raspberry Fizz card stock.  Then took the white heart and re cut it with Grand Ampersand die. I popped the white heart a little to the left and layered it on the pink one with foam dots. Them mounted it on card front. Hope you all enjoy it. I know it was fun to make. 

Thanks for stopping by, Sentimentally Sue.

I will also submit this card in the CAS-olgy "AND" challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday "Heart" challenge.  Thanks again!

Trading Card...Hello

Man I am really having some original titles today, huh? Not! I had not tried the drop shadow technique that is being used for the Make-It-Monday Challenge so I thought I would throw that in with a trading card.  So we will enter both challenges on Nicole's Blog with this one.  I had heard the other day people asking for a mint colored ink.  I had to laugh because a long time ago I was a Stampin Up demo and we had Mint Melody ink.  Now I never used it much and couldn't even sell it at a deep discount when I tried.  I still own the pad and it is more than ten years old.  Everything comes back around if you can wait long enough.

So the mint ink and card stock are from Stampin Up. The white card stock, die and Hello stamp set are Papertrey Ink.  Thanks for the visit, Sentimentally Sue.



Trading Card...Thanks

Hey there, me again. If you are wondering why things are being typed this way on my blog, I have been having trouble with Blogger not letting retype or move things around.  Wish I could get it figured out but for now just making due.  This is my fourth trading card for the Papertrey Ink 7th Anniversary challenge. I am trying to work in the Color/Sketch challenge too. This one will also be added to the "Less is More" single layer challenge. So I started with the color/sketch cards below and some PTI white card stock.  Stamped the greeting in Smoky Shadow ink and then used the other colors to make the flowers using the Mini Blooms set from PTI also.  Thanks for dropping by, Sentimentally Sue.
