Spring Seeds

Happy Saturday friends! Today's card is perfect for the CASology challenge where the keyword is "EGG".

I used the chick and egg dies from Quickutz and added them to the seed packet from PTI. The sentiment is from PTI's Easter Alleluia's. I did a little sponging in the background to give it some color and added some sequins to finish this off.
I actually made quite a few of these with different designs and Easter images so you may see them popping up every now and then.

I'll also be adding this card to the Word Art Wednesday challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit

PTI's Papercrafting Alphabet

Sorry for another post today but I'm trying hard to keep up with the celebration challenges going on over at PTI. Today's challenge was using the alphabet and your last name, with each letter representing a particular task. I used the first four letters of my last name, so mine were:
"N" ~ using something "NEW"
"O" ~ Ombre
"R" ~ Rounded corners
"T" ~ Twine

Here's my card:

The butterfly coverplate is new and I had yet to use it so I inked up a piece of cardstock using ombre colors and used the coverplate to cut it. I then fussy cut one of the butterflies out of that. I rounded the bottom corners and added some twine and sequins. The sentiment from Phrases and Praises is embossed in silver and the leaves are cut using a die from Songbirds.

I wasn't too sure how I was going to like this challenge but it turned out to be really fun for me! I've had such a fun time seeing everyone's creations during this celebration and just wanted to thank everyone at PTI for all their hard work in making this such a fantastic anniversary!

Color Pop Fortune Teller & Snail Mail Saturday

Happy Valentine's Day friends~ I combined PTI's challenge from Friday and Saturday and came up with this thank you card to send to their warehouse staff. The colors I landed on with the color pop fortune teller were Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf and Ripe Avocado.

I used a stripe from Watercolor Wonder and stamped the edge of my card and on another panel, stamped the butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies. I embossed the sentimet from Fancy Folkart in silver. I used my powder bag generously on my card before adding the embossing powder because I didn't want to to stick anywhere else and the funny thing is some silver embossing powder only stuck to the butterfly stamped in Ripe Avocado. At first I wasn't happy but then I realized it looked kind of good and added some bling to the butterfly. I'm glad it turned out to be a happy accident.


Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you all have a day filled with lots of love from family and friends! Hugs~ Birgit

You're Old... Embrace it!

I just recently purchased these fabulous stamps from Art Impressions and have enjoyed coloring them up and giving them life!

This first card uses a sentiment from Paper Smooches and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is currently sponsored by them so I thought I would post it and add it to their challenge.
Here's a few more cards using these super fun images:





I'll also be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:

PTI ~9th Anniversary Celebration ~ Sampler Square Challenge

The fun continues over at Nichole's blog. Yesterday's challenge was to create a sampler of 1 1/2" squares and make them into a square card.

I used PTI's Button Stacks along with kraft, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Spring Rain and Pure Poppy to stack up these fun buttons. The sentiment is from Botanical Blocks.
