Welcome to the June Blog Hop with Papertrey Ink. This month we were supposed to come up with our favorite PTI color combo. I chose white, melon berry, spring moss, simply chartreuse (felt), and dark chocolate.

What woman would not like a little chocolate with anything? I loved these colors together. This was a fun challenge. I made two different cards utilizing the same color scheme.

I used my new hodgepodge paper pack. Specifically the Everyday blessings and Pink patterns. I also used the simply chartreuse felt for two of the leaves and the Spring mix buttons (melon berry, spring moss) and dark chocolate buttons. I punched flowers out of the papers. I also used my absolute favorite stamp set, Everyday button bits. I received all my goodies the day after the last blog hop and finally got to use everything. Below you will find a close up pick of the flowers and the details.

I used pop dots to pop up the flowers. I cut the felt with my paper cutter and large scallop blade. Wowie, the felt cuts so beautifully with whatever (paper cutter, scissors, die cutting machine ect...). Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Have fun being inspired.

I chose the same color scheme as above: white, melon berry, spring moss, simply chartreuse (felt), dark chocolate, with a touch of aqua mist. This card was inspired by a sweet baby outfit. I hand sewn the apple onto a scallop square. I used PTI simply chartreuse felt for the inside of the leaf and label. I used brown flock for inside of stem. I used PTI Everyday blessings , Pink patterns and chocolate remix dp, and melon berry, spring moss, and dark chocolate buttons. See below the close up pic for details. I popped up the flowers and added coordinating colored string (for making friendship bracelets) in centers of buttons.

A2 card Gift Box as featured on Splitcoast Stampers

This cute A2 card box with place for tags, 3 X3 cards, pen, notepad and stamps all in a small, sweet package is this weeks feature on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ tutorial. This box makes a great bonus gift for anyone who loves handmade cards. It will hold between 10-12 A2 cards and envelopes, plus 6 3X3 cards and envelopes and several tags. I rounded my corners for a more finished look. (I personally liked the way it looked better). I used 2 pieces of cardstock (base and inside pockets) and one piece of dp (lid, cover of notebook and stamp envelope, pen loop). I embellished the edge of the lid with ribbon and covered where the ends of the ribbon met with a flower embellishment. Thank you for looking, please let me know if you have any questions. I appreciate any comments I receive.

Thank you

I just wanted to say thanks to all who visited my blog and left a nice comment. I wanted everyone to know all my new PTI goodies arrived today safe and sound. I can't wait to get the stamps inky. Have to think of what to do for teacher gifts. Thank you all again, it was fun to play along.

Better view of May PTI blog hop post- Felt

I went back to look at post and realized I had zoomed in too much and you could not see the white edges of the card. I just wanted to post a better view of the card.
Thank you for all your kind comments. I love to hear from you all and to see all your creations as well. Have a great night.

May Papertrey Ink- Blog hop using felt

Here is my creation for the Papertrey Ink May Blog hop, using felt. I had placed an order for my own "goodies" to use in the hop, but sadly I am still waiting. So I had a piece of Raspberry fizz cardstock and a scrap piece of raspberry mix dp that already had an oval cut out of it. I went into my felt stash and found a piece that matched the papers and cut a several small squares and rounded the corners of the squares (you could also use a circle) and then from the outside edge I cut a spiral into the felt until I reached the center. I started rolling the felt from the outside to the inside. I wound the first 3-4 layers very tightly to form the tight center and then I started to roll edges over as I went around the center (to form the petals). This was my first time using felt to form roses, but I am pretty happy with them.

Paper: Raspberry fizz cardstock, Raspberry mix dp, Papertrey Ink, white cardstock base, The Paper Studio

Stamps: Petals from Scratch, Fiskars

Ink: old olive, Stampin Up!

Tools: border punch, Fiskars

Embellishments: felt (handmade) roses, white grosgrain ribbon, Stampin Up!

Technique: flocking on leaves and stems, Martha Stewart flocking powder

Please let me know what you think. Hopefully my order arrives soon, so that I will have "goodies" to use for next months hop. Enjoy your evening everyone!
