Creating Along With PTI

I finally found some time to play in my craft room this morning
and join in on the fun to Create Along with PTI

My card ensemble was inspired by Lizzie Jones' CAS style card and pillow box found in this post.


I like her CAS layout and went with the die cut tea cup, backed with gold and filled with a Painted Poinsettia. I heat embossed the sentiment from Happiest of Holidays in gold.

While I had my supplies out, I decided to make a pillow box also inspired by one that Lizzie made in that same blog post.


I'll also be entering this card into the following challenges
Word Art Wednesday Challenge
Classy Cards 'n Such

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit

Love that you did both the card and pillow box. So lovely in pinks! Also love that sentiment on the outside of the card!

Please don't tell Lizzie cause I would hate to hurt her feelings (and especially since I recreated from her too!), but I like your cards and pillow box so much better Birgit! Your cards are just absolutely gorgeous...so soft and just beautiful! I absolutely LOVE the Poinsettia in the tea cup...I'm definitely going to have to try that! Love the sentiment and background paper in these cards too...it's all so perfectly balanced out together...love it!! And your matching pillow box will make a great gift combo and is sure to bring a smile to someone's face!! Beautiful work Birgit! :0)

Love this set, Birgit. You used such gorgeous colours, pastels with gold accents! Now that I've seen this post I'm doubly happy that I ordered Painted Poinsettias last night. But I wish I had included a tea cup die also :( I just can't win!

Stunning! The pink poinsettias are beautiful. I love the cute pillow box you created to match your card.

Lizzie Jones said...

I just love the soft colors you chose to use for this ensemble! I don't use pink enough when I'm stamping poinsettias. Perhaps I'll give it a shot the next time I'm making a Christmas card. Thank you so much for sharing!
