PTI Celebrating 2015

Today Nichole is celebrating 2015 with so many fun sets highlighted.  There were several that I loved in 2015; it was a great year for Super Hero themes!  I did not have the sets that Nichole highlighted, but I did love this card by Laurie using the Baker's Dozen cupcake set.

Instead of Baker's Dozen, I used Tremendous Treats: Valentine that was still sitting on my desk from earlier in the PTI Celebration. Here's my card:

PTI's Tremendous Treats: Valentines, Think Big Favorites: #1

I added glossy accents to the cupcake to give it some dimension.

And here is the inside:

PTI Celebrating 2011

Today's post and challenge on Nichole's blog are all about celebrating 2011 with Papertrey Ink.  I was excited to pull out Tremendous Treats for this challenge. Of all the Tiny Treats and Tremendous Treats sets that PTI has, the Valentines themed ones are my favorite.  I feel like they are pretty versatile, and don't necessarily have to be used just for Valentines.

I had a few ideas for a card using this set, but had someone on my mind; she's had a rough week, so I created this:

PTI's Tremendous Treats, Up Up and Away, Scene It Dies, In the Meadow dies

PTI Anniversary Day 3

I'm skipping around on challenges this week for PTI's 8th Anniversary Celebration.  I was able to get back to the challenge for Day 3 today - which is Day 5 of the celebration.  I'm glad the challenges are open all week so that I am able to participate in most of them.  

The challenge was to create a gift bag and tag - in anticipation of a new product line called "Enclosed" which centers around gift tags. 

I needed a bag for my son's Valentine's present, so this challenge came at a perfect time.

Heart Border, XOXO Border, Tag Sale #5, Tremendous Treats: Valentines

Here's a close up of the puppy.  I shaded around his body with C1 Copic and used a Stardust pen on his eyes, nose and the heart.

Make It Monday 145

This week's Make It Monday was a catch up of anything we missed throughout the last year.  After looking through all the fabulous choices, I realized that I missed a lot.  I had high hopes of getting seven cards made today, but other things happened!  I did get one made for the Glitter Borders challenge.  Here it is:

I glittered up the Heart Border with my Xyron and some prisma glitter.  After I adhered the borders to the white panel, I stamped the hearts and sentiment.  Tiny Treats: Valentine was a favorite of mine, and I use it for so much more than Valentine cards.  I love that PTI came out with Tremendous Treats and dies.  I die cut the puppy, stamped and colored him.  I coated him with some glossy accents to give the card a little more texture. 

I still may go ahead and attempt the other six challenges I had in mind today, but it won't be in time for the challenge.  I haven't really crafted since August, and it feels great to be getting back into it!
