Take Three: Summer Day 3

I just wanted to sincerely thank you so much for your comments! They mean so much to me. Can you believe we are already on day 3 of the release?! 
I'm not sure about you, but I always watch PTI releases with baited breath.  The team, illustrators and Nichole do an amazing job showcasing the new sets and supplies being released each month.  I feel so honoured to be a part of such an amazing company. I remember when I first joined PTI in 2008 and the excitement I had for my first release month.  Would you believe I still get just as giddy?  There is nothing like receiving my stamp set and pealing off each stamp and FINALLY stamping each and everyone of them.

Pastel Floral Goodbye

I often sketch many of my card/project layouts before I receive my stamp set.  And while I have a "game plan" sometimes I take a detour.  About a week ago, I was oogling Lisa Johnson's projects (she is an amazing Paper Crafter isn't she?) and I stumbled upon a cute layout and colour combo I couldn't resist.  Lisa created a card for the Sign Language release that I just fell in love with.  I decided to create a card using the same layout and colour palette and change up the 1) ribbon 2) stamp set in addition to a few other things (impression plate, embossing, patterned paper).

Step 1: Create card base.  Cut layers and use the impression template to add texture to the Aqua Mist layer.Round corners.
Step 2: Stamp flower images using VersaMark ink on patterned paper.  Pour emboss powder and heat.  Use die cut to cut out images.
Step 3: Stamp sentiment using Dark Chocolate ink. Adhere ribbon.
Step 4: Adhere all layers.

Missing You

There is nothing like a bright and cheerful card to brighten your day when you miss someone.  I love the crisp white contrasted by the Hawaiian shores.  My favourite part is the edging of Hawaiian shores against all the white.  It makes the image and sentiment pop!


Step 1: Use the impression template to add texture to card base and second layer.  Using die cut create an opening in second layer.
Step 2: Stamp bird images using Hawaiian Shores.  Touch the centers of the flowers using a silver spica pen. Punch out using square punch.  Round corners.
Step 3: Adhere ribbon to top layer.  Stamp sentiment.
Step 4: Round selected card edges.
Step 5: Adhere all layers.

Floral Celebrations

I don't often use black cardstock for the card base but sometimes it merits the use.  When I coloured my flower using Copics (R0000, RV29, R59) (YG63, G0000, YG13) and a white gel pen it just screamed being the center of attention. 


Step 1: Create card base and create an opening using a die cut.

Step 2: Stamp circles using Snow Cap.  Colour the circles using a water pen and ink (see photos below) You'll note I just pressed the ink pad to the top of the cover.  It is easily wiped off.

Step 3: Colour flower image using Copic markers. Highlight flower petals with white gel pen. Adhere to card.
Step 4: Stamp sentiment using Snow Cap and attach ribbon.
