Cute cards group four

Last one in this series! But I still have another card lined up to share. Hopefully there will be more to follow!

Cute cards group three

One more to go!

Cute cards group two

Two more groups still to come!

Oh hai. I can haz cardz?

Ummm...yeah. It's been a while. I've actually done some crafty things, just haven't had much time to post them. So I'm teeing up several posts tonight, for at least a week's worth of crafty goodness!
First up is a couple cards in a series. All were made with the same materials and method. First I started with these: loads of 1" squares punched from a paper series:

Then I adhered a grid of squares to a piece of cardstock and then broke out the ol' sewing machine! I played with the stitches and patterns. Then I grabbed the coordinating chipboard and diecut pieces, a few stamps, and some buttons and rhinestones and went to town!
Come back in a day or two to see the next group!

PTI Anniversary 2011 - Day One!

It's that time of year again! Papertrey Ink's anniversary spectacular! Day 1 brings an announcement of the new design team as well as a contest - post your favourite PTI card from the past year! I went through my cards, and I think this is my favourite.

It was first posted here. Of course it features two of my favourite sets: Enjoy the Ride and A Little Argyle!

The prize for the contest is a jaw-dropping $700 worth of PTI goodies. The list is almost too long to read! I think I would fall over and DIE if I won. I'm crossing my fingers!

Salt Dough Ornaments

Yup, still haven't finished with Christmas! So my daughter made these salt dough ornaments at the end of LAST year's Christmas, and only got around to painting them in November/December of this year. I gave them a couple coats of Mod Podge, and then we added them to the tree!

I used the recipe here (love this website!)

More Christmas cards

I made these cards for two of my crafty friends. I wanted to do something special and fun, so I tried the cracked glass technique using UTEE.

Here's a close-up:
And the inside:
Ink and stamps are PTI, ribbon is SU, paper is some that I won (and don't know who makes it!)

And I made a few more of those reindeer cards. It's hard to see, but the ink is Tsukineko Brilliance Ink, which has a lovely shine to it.
I have several more cards to share over the next few days - I've been crafting here and there over the last few months, just haven't had much time to upload the photos!

I've also found a new obsession, COPICS, and I have some projects to share with those too!
