PTI July Blog Post – when things go wrong

Ever have those cards that you really would like to throw in the garbage?  Well this one is mine, but since I am out of time (12:17 am the night before the blog hop and I’ll be working tomorrow) this is going to have to be my card for the blog hop.  Please forgive me…because it is an awful card.    The PTI blog hop inspiration is the photo below.

What went wrong….1) missed my placement of the grass along the edge of the card and tried to fix it, check; 2) used harvest gold cardstock which made the floral colors look washed out or just not true to the color I wanted, especially melon berry, check; and 3) went to stamp the sentiment and did it crooked, check.  Definitely cringe-worthy!   So no wasted jewels on this junk…save my embellies for a worthier card.  Card supplies are at the bottom.

Hope you are having a blissful day! Thanks for stopping by….

Supplies:

  • Cardstock: Harvest Gold (Papertrey)
  • Stamps: Daydreamer, Floral Fusion, Think Big Favorites #12 (Papertrey)
  • Ink: Simply Chartreuse, Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry, and Summer Sunrise (Papertrey)

SAF Homemade Embellishments Challenge

I spent all of my time with the OR/WA gals just letting my creative juices go where they wanted to go rather than aiming to meet any challenges.  Luckily one of my cards qualifies under the homemade embellishments challenge.  These are pretty simple embellishments…just die cut flowers edge with aqua mist ink, stacked on each other and topped with a button.  I wished I would have used thread on the ribbon but it was something I didn’t think to bring along for the SAF gathering.  I ended up borrowing (strike that since I won’t be giving them back) being given the buttons from a fellow PTIer.  The card was based on using these embellishments.  I ended using the Autumn Rose cardstock to pick up the buttons and rhinestone colors. 

Hope you are having a blissful day! Thanks for stopping by….

Supplies:

  • Cardstock: Aqua Mist and Autumn Rose (Papertrey)
  • Patterned Paper:  Aqua Mist Pattern Pack (Papertrey)

Time for PTI’s Stamp-A-Faire

It’s time for PTI’s Stamp-A-Faire!   I am so looking forward to meeting some local PTI fans at Whimzee’s in Beaverton!  We have been chatting on the PTI forum for a while about SAF.  I haven’t started packing up my supplies..somehow chasing after a 3 and 5 year olds keep me from my crafting priorities.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  I’m looking forward to sharing my cards that I will be creating tomorrow.  Have a great one!
