Christmas PTI

Hi Everyone! So have been having a lazy day today, only managed to get the washing out on the line and wash the dishes, tried to do some crafting, but not having much luck, so decided to leave it and make some tea. However, I did manage to create a card using some new PTI stamps.


100_4899


I used a teal coloured card stock and trimmed it to create a card, I then took the PTI, Tin Types background stamp and inked with Colorbox Ink, Frost White ink, I stamped over the front of the card to form my own background. I then took some white card stock and using the PTI, Mat Stack 1 die I ran the card stock through my Cuttlebug cutting the die, next taking the matching stamp from the PTI, Tiny Treats stamp set, I inked the stamp up using some Colorbox Ink, Chestnut Roan and stamped over the die cut. Taking more white card stock I took the PTI, 2010 Holiday Tags and using one of the stamps in that set I inked it up with some Colorbox Ink, Celadon and stamped onto the card stock, once dry I took a 1 3/4 inch circle punch and punched the stamped image out and adhered it to the mat stack using foam dimensionals, then adhering the mat stack to the card using more foam dimensionals. Adding a sentiment to the bottom of the card using the PTI, Signature Christmas stamp set, stamping this onto more white card stock, adhering the sentiment to some chocolate card stock and then adhering it to the front of the card. Lastly, adding rhinestones to the card to finish.

Enjoy viewing the card tonight, I am off to catch up a bit on the computer work and attempt fate and try and craft a little more.

Hugs

Another beautiful card, Joy.

I just wanted to tell you how much i appreciate your honesty when it comes to having a creative block! I wish it didn't happen to you, but there is some consolation knowing that it happens to insanely talented people like yourself and not just 'average' people like me. :)

I absolutely love your style! Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us!
