Thinking of you…

Morning everybody,

I have been making more embossing plates using my dies. Here is one more card made using homemade embossing plate. The dies I have used on this green panel is made using Turning New Leaf dies from Papertrey Ink.

I figured out after making a few embossing panels from dies, that embossing is much more defined with solid dies, cut using thicker cardboard. I tried using tissuebox but the embossing is not so good. The toys and games packaging cardboard is perfect. exact thickness to run through cuttlebug without stressing it and gives good impression.

Here is a close up of the card

Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampers Select White and Ripe Avocado from Papertrey Ink Basic Black from SU.

Stamp sets: Love Birds from Wplus9 and Floral Sizzix and Hero Arts framelit set

Inks: Stazon Black Ink

Accessories: New Leaf dies from PTI, Cardboard packaging, cuttlebug, tree die from MFT and rhinestones.

PTI Blog Hop – January 2012

This month, in honor of the new year, we are challenging you to pick your
favorite project from 2011 and share it with al of us!  To take it a step
further, you are also challenged to create a second card that is inspired by
the favorite project you select.  Your new version of an old favorite could
carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets.  We look forward
to seeing your best creations from 2011 as well as one of your first projects
for 2012!

Picking “a” favourite project from 2011 is such a difficult thing to do. Na…. I could not do it. I pick a bunch and finally narrowed it to two. Here is my first favourite card from 2011

I made this card for MIM and love to create my own background using stamps. Recreated another card using this card as an inspiration. I created a background using PTI’s Rosie Posie stamp set. Here is the card for you

I wanted a modern looking background and Rosie Posie stamps are perfect for do that. I also choose lighter colours and kept the sentiment simple on a banner diecut.

Supplies:

Cardstock: SU’s Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and White

Stamp sets: Rosie Posie and Butterfly Dreams from PTI

Inks: Amuse’s Bubblegum,Pappaya, Grass and Ocean ink and SU’s Basic Grey ink

Accessories: Spellbinder’s banner die, cuttlebug.

Second card which is my favourite is this one

I love Modern Basic Stamp set and the striped background I had created. Wanted a modern take on this one too and so changed the colours but kept the layout.

I love grey and any colour together especially orange.Bright and modern and perfect with that sentiment.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Canyon Clay from PTI and white from SU

Stamp sets: Modern Basic and Think Big Favourite from PTI

Ink: Tangerine Tango and Basic Grey from SU and Stazon Black Ink

Thanks so much for visiting! Happy Hopping 🙂

The Map to Your Heart

Moxie Fab Challenge has a challenge called The Map to Your Heart – make projects using maps 🙂 I love the idea and the inspirations are just magnificant. But when coming to making a project, I was stumped. Well, as the deadline is approaching, I was more determined to make something. I am a person who works well if I have deadline

So here is what I came up with.

I printed out a map and ran alpha dies to get map alpha diecuts. I cut alphabet “I” and “U” using black cardstock. You can see how I am still using the rainbow striped leftovers by punching the heart shape 🙂

So the “I” “♥” and “U”  standout against the other map alphabets.

Supplies

Cardstock: White and Black cardstock.

Pattern Paper: Printed map from the computer

Accessories: White frame, Heart punch from SU, MFT Alpha dies, Cuttlebug and rainbow strip from previous project.
