Papertrey September Blog Hop Challenge

Hello Papertrey Ink Friends! It's been a long while since I was able to participate in the blog hop and I'm so glad that I am able to today!! I was inspired by the colors and stripes in the inspiration photo (below) to create my card. I used score tape to adhere the glitter to my card. Then I used the same bright colors for my pennant. I enjoyed using these happy colors and can't wait to go blog hop and see what everyone else did!!

Altered Album Cover

Good Morning! I made an album about my black lab, Abby, and this is the cover. I've been "into" banners for a while now and I wanted to make one out of fabric. I just used Memento ink to stamp right on the fabric banners. To stamp on the denim album cover, I used acrylic paint. Acrylic paint works best for me when I put some paint on a small plastic tray and then use a sponge brush to put the paint right onto the stamp.

I plan to make more banners in the future, so stay tuned:) This altered album happens to fit with the current JUGS challenge to use fabric. I will also be linking this post with some linky parties on Saturday. They are lots of fun! Stop back if you want to see where they are, I'll add them to this post.

Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

Hello! Our blog hop challenge this month is to use a stamp set that has not been used in a while. I didn't know about Papertrey Ink until 1-2 years ago, so I figure that a 1 year old set is pretty old for me. I used the set, Simple Valentine, and paired it with a new set, Banner Builder.

To make my card, I used Papertrey Ink's fabulous Simple Valentine dp for the background. Then I built a banner string with banner die cuts, heart die cuts, dp, and raspberry fizz felt. I used some ribbon from my stash to "hang" my banner on the card. For the bottom portion of the card I used a heart doily layered with a felt scalloped circle, a white circle, and a die cut from Limitless Layers 1 3/4 circles die cut. I sponged the top layer in red and added my sentiment and heart. Last I added another felt heart to the top.

This was a fun card to make! I just kept adding layers above and below my elements until I thought I had stacked up enough:) Everything listed in pink is from Papertrey Ink! Can you tell that I love hearts and Valentine's Day?
