Papertrey's 5th Anniversary Day5 card 2

This card was inspired by the picture Dawn McVey chose off Pinterest.

I used some pattern paper from My Mind's Eye. For the floor and frame I used white cardstock and swiped it with Old Paper and Vintage Photo distress ink and then used a woodgrain stamp with Old Paper ink. For the floorboard moulding, I just used a strip of white cardstock and scored a line on my Martha Stewart score board. I used Papertrey's On My Couch and cut it out with the matching die. I finished it off by adding a flower and rounding the corners.

Papertrey is now on Pinterest! I am new to Pinterest but it looks like a pretty cool site. Each of their designers made a card inspired by something they saw on Pinterest. Our challenge today was to make a card also inspired by Pinterest. Well, I spent more than an hour just looking at some of the designer's blogs this morning and really didn't have any more time to explore the site so I decided to be inspired by the same photos as a couple of the designers. The first card I made was inspired by this picture that Melissa Phillips chose.

I used paper from the Lost and Found collection by My Mind's Eye.

I used Congrats All Ways for the sentiment and Papertrey dies.

For this card, I used Dawn McVey's favorite color combination.

The card base is Raspberry Fizz. I used white embossing powder on the Year of Flowers: Roses and the sentiment is from Birthday Basics.

It's been a busy day here but I did get to have fun making these cards. I can't wait to see whats new at Papertrey tomorrow.

Papertrey's 5th Anniversary Day 4 card 3

For this card, I used Erin Lincoln's favorite colors and made this fun birthday card.

I used the Christmas Labels die to cut the Pure Poppy cardstock. I used a Think Big Favorite sentiment. For the background I used the circle impression plate and the cupcake is from Cupcake Collection.

Papertrey's 5th Anniversary Day 4 card 2

For this card I used Heather Nichol's favorite color combination. I love these colors and needed a card for a friend that is having a baby boy very soon.

I used a kraft card base and added a Baby Button Bits bear on a Mat Stack die. I colored the bear with Copic markers and then used the 0 colorless blender marker to "scuff" him up a bit. On the larger mat stack, I ran it through my Big Shot with the argyle impression plate and then stamped the diamonds with the coordinating one from A Little Argyle stamp set. (I wanted a softer look, so I stamped it off on scratch paper and used the second impression on the card. I randomly stamped a few darker.) I used the double ended banner die for the sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages. To finish it off I rounded the corners and used a marker to add dash lines.

Today, Papertrey has introduced some fun new things including pattern paper packs! Oh no! I....must...have...them....all! Well I am hoping to win...anything! lol (along with a million other stamp crazy people!) Each card posted is a chance to win so I got busy and made a few this afternoon.

I used Melissa Phillip's favorite color combo at the moment...

I added some vintage cream cardstock to stamp my new Lace Bouquet flower on. I used a die to cut the lacey edges and added a raspberry fizz bow.

Off to post next card...

Papertrey Anniversary Day 2 Card 3

This is the third card I made today using the downloaded images from Papertrey's oh so talented stamp designers! I will probably eventually use all of them but only had time to make 3 cards today. This image is so adorable. It was designed by Lisa Johnson. It is late here so the lighting is awful. I colored the image with Copic Markers and placed it under a Tag Sale 3 tag with a square punched out of it. I used papers from the Basic Grey Picadilly paper pack and added some buttons to the tag. I used a Kraft cardstock base. Time to go get some sleep..can't wait to see what Papertrey has in store tomorrow!
