Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #138 Inlaid Die-cuts

Hello! Another week has rolled by and it's time for another PTI MIM challenge.
Betsy Veldman always has the most cheerful cards!
Today is no exception. 

This technique reminds me of quilting or inlaid wood.

I love how inlaying your die cut creates layers without the bulk making it more simple to put in the post.

 Does anyone else think this new PTI tag just asks for a Christmas scene of some sort to be put in the center? 

So, yes, that's what I did!

Papertrey Ink October 2013 Blog Hop Part 1

WELCOME! to the October Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

The Challenge this month is TAGS!

I do love tags so I will be making a second post after this :-)

This is the first tag I made. I added a little crochet lace to the bottom and dry embossed the red rectangle with herringbone to match the stitched stamping. Glittered the snowflake, stitched the die cuts to the tag, added a little twine, and I was done!

Five tags in all!

To see all the other (I am sure) fantastic tags and maybe try it yourself, go to:

I love her tutorials. Her voice is so soothing and her directions are very detailed and clear. 

I just had to use some of her ideas and make a Christmas/winter card.

And do you see the sentiment regarding "time"? hint hint-stamped clock? :-) 

Thanks, Melissa for the inspiration!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #136: Textured Stamping

Hello! Ashley Cannon Newell is hosting this week's PTI MIM challenge. I always love the cards she creates. This week she showed us how to add a little texture to our stamping. To view her how to and the challenge, go here:

http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2013/10/make-it-monday-136-textured-stamping.html

I enjoy adding texture and dimension to cards. So this was fun for me. I just needed a silhouette stamp. I discovered I don't have many of those! Then I remembered the Autumn Pattern Pieces by PTI.

When I stamped the houndstooth using the texture technique, it  turned out looking like wood. (At least I think so) Which I liked! 

So go view the video and try it for yourself!

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger: Apache Tears in the Key of Autumn

Decided to jump in on the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger: Apache Tears in the Key of Autumn

Chevrons and Apache made me think  of arrows. Arrows made me think of triangles. Triangles made me think of banners. Banners made me think of moving. Moving made me think of riding a bike. And I do love to ride a bike during the Fall.

Copied the colors but just couldn't quite get the vibrancy. Such a pretty colorful photo!

So, now, YOU go make something!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #135: Layered Emboss Resist

Hello! It's time for another Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge. 

To see the challenge, go to:

http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2013/10/make-it-monday-135-layered-emboss-resist.html

I have to say, at first I found this challenge a little difficult. I used a clear embossing powder. Not sure why, but on top of my stamping, I could not see it very well. So, it was hard to judge when the heating was complete. Kind of melted it off!  So I switched to a clear embossing powder with a little sparkle. That really helped. 

 I hope you can see the embossing in the photo.

One of my favorite color combos for Christmas is teal blue and red. Very happy.

“I love snow for the same reason I love Christmas: It brings people together while time stands still. Cozy couples lazily meandered the streets and children trudged sleds and chased snowballs. No one seemed to be in a rush to experience anything other than the glory of the day, with each other, whenever and however it happened."― Rachel Cohn, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares
