I would normally watch it, except when Nichole Heady's (Designer & co-owner of Papertrey Ink) Blog update came through today & she said they were having a Blog Hop, I knew I wanted to make something because you all know how much I am loving my Papertrey Ink Goodies, & a few guilt free hours in my craft room just did the trick. WOW my first ever PTI Blog Hop.
The challenge for the Blog Hop this time was to use flowers from the Papertrey Ink range.
That should be easy enough considering I own several gorgeous sets & dies.
I set out to make 1 card & ended up with 4. My only concern now is, are they of a high enough standard? As I had a chance to check out the posts from the last Blog Hop & there are so many talented people out there.
As you will be able to tell from he cards I have made I just love using the Beautiful Bloom II #1 die & the Fabulous Felt. The die has a lovely finish when used to cut cardstock & works just as well when cutting through the felt. The felt is really versatile not only could you use it in conjuction with the dies, but could cut out your own design freehand. I would love to make some pretty felt embellishments you attach to either headbands or clips for the girls.
If I could just have a few weeks with no other committments like washing, cooking & working, think of the creations I could come up with. OH TO DREAM!!!!!!
I am happy with how they turned out & would love to here your comments.
Sentiment from PTI Flower Fusion #3 set,
Flower Fusion #2 stamp set
Think Big favourites #2
Larger then life & Think Big Favourites #3
I haven't included a recipe for each card if you need to know a little more just drop me an email.
Well I hope you have enjoyed my card & maybe inspired you to head on over to Papertey Ink to check out all their fabulous stamps & accessories.
Now I just need to stay awake to post the link as far as I can work out it will be midnight Australian time.
Till next time
Happy Stamping
