PTI November Blog Hop

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the States! Today is also the PTI Blog Hop. And the theme is TAGS! Click on picture to enlarge to view detail better.

What fun to make and easy too since I now have the tag dies. And Tiny Treats Christmas is perfect for the images. I love to color with my Copics so I just punch a bunch of circles, stamp the images and take them with me to color while watching TV. The Limitless Layers dies also are a quick way to add decorative background colors. For these tags I decided to use embossing borders that came with a new Sizzix set, Christmas Set #6. Stamps, dies (expect MS snowflake) and cardstock are all from PTI.

On some I added additional trim like the Martha Stewart punch snowflake. The holly border lacked contrast even after I sponged on a little green ink so I used the circles that were left when I punched the tags. Glued on two circles and added a red pearl!

Wherever you are and whatever you have planned for today, hope it is wonderful!

Enjoy the hop,

Sharron

Fall Thank You

We were out of town for four days over the weekend and I am still feeling crummy with a head cold so I haven't even looked at stamping supplies for more than a week! Luckily I was able to get two baskets almost done at the Basket Weave In I went to though!

I made this card a couple of weeks ago--right after the PTI design team posted some samples when revisiting the First Fruits set. A friend had called wanting to buy a few thank you cards. I had several made up but wanted a few more with a fall theme so this set was perfect. It also gave me a chance to use the new Limitless Layers dies!

Supplies
Stamps: First Fruits, Round and Round (both PTI)
Cardstock: Fine Linen, Rustic White, Terracotta Tile, Dark Chocolate
Patterned Paper: Acorns (Creative Imagination-Debbie Mum)
Additional: Mat Stack 1 and Limitless Layers Dies (PTI), Leafy Branch Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Rich Cocoa and Potter's Clay Ink (Memento)


Thanks so much for visiting,
Sharron

PDCC #54; PTI Peeps Challenge #19 (Turn a Negative Into a Positive)

Hi All! Finally taking a few minutes to post this card. I knew exactly what I wanted to make when I saw Aimes' post for the Peeps challenge. I wish it was always like that! Anyway, I was so glad to be instantly inspired and got my card done on Friday, using the colors from this week's PDCC. Then, unfortunately, my two-week fall allergy condition turned into a major sinus problem on Friday night. Lots of congestion, pressure and pain added to the runny nose and sneezing. I hate how wiped out it makes me feel. After a trip last night to the drug store, I am doing a little better today and even got a bit of house cleaning done. Yeah! 

I've been having such fun with all my new PTI dies! Seems my stamping budget is now being used more for dies than stamps!! For this card I stamped some Melon Berry cardstock with the "Twas the Night Before Christmas" stamp from Background Basics-Christmas. The little mouse and piece of wrapped candy are from that set also. Then I used the tree die to cut my negative image. For a background I used Spring Moss cardstock and decorated the tree with a simple embroidery stitch to sew a garland and added melon berry buttons. Another die easily cut the ornament and I attached it with a copper brad and some Spring Moss ribbon. Sentiment is from KaiserCraft.

As always, love that you stopped by,

Have a super week!
