Papertrey April Blog Hop Challenge

Saturday, April 25, 2015



Hello! I have a very feminine card to share with you today for the PTI Blog Hop. I LOVE the inspiration photo this month!! The color combination is so striking, and I love all the different textures as well. I also am a big fan of stripes combined with florals, so I knew I had to use that in my card.




I used Background Basics: Super stripes to make the angled stripes in the background. I made sure to use the same angle as the birthday sentiment. The main flowers are popped up with foam tape, and a few sequins give it a special, shiny touch!

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Supplies: 
Stamps: PTI - Ruby Rose, Background Basics: Super Stripes
Cardstock: PTI - White; Stampin' Up! - Night of Navy
Dies: PTI - Ruby Rose
Ink: PTI - Hibiscus Burst; Stampin' Up! - Night of Navy, Pretty in Pink; Tim Holtz Distress - Mowed Lawn
Other: Sequins, Foam Tape

Top Dog Dies Wedding Card

Wednesday, April 22, 2015




Welcome back to another Top Dog Dies project! I have a romantic card to share with you.




I made this for a wedding. I think the TDD Heart Doily Die is sooooo pretty and intricate. I die cut it several times and layered them together.



After gluing all the layers together, I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the heart, and then stamped small, open hearts around it to accent it.


The awesome heart foiled vellum is loosely layered over the goldish colored cardstock. A very simple but elegant wedding card!


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko Studio - Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum; Flower Power #3
Dies: Top Dog Dies - Heart Doily Die
Patterned Paper: DCWV - Foiled Vellum Stack

Hi! Welcome to the next Uniko Studio Challenge!

We are happy to have two special Guest Designers joining us for this challenge! Please check out Michelle's and Elaine's blog if you aren't familiar with their work, and to see their projects for this challenge!

THEME: THINGS WITH WINGS
You can use anything that has wings: butterflies, birds, planes, etc! 


  • You can use ANY stamps in the challenges
  • You can enter as many times as you want and enter as many other challenges as you want combined with ours!
I chose the Paradise - Hummingbird stamp set for this challenge. I definitely wanted the hummingbird to be the focal point, and I tried out a 'new to me' technique by Jennifer McGuire. Hers always come out so perfect and beautiful. Mine is ok, I wish I had time to play around/practice with it more. I do love the colors though, especially with the dark grey stripes.
