Make it Monday

Good Morning and happy Friday everyone!  We are in for a little sever weather this morning, I'm thinking it will pass us and hoping we just get rain.  I'm grateful for the rain, but will be glad when the warmer and dryer temperatures are here to stay!  My post today is another entry for Papertrey's Make it Monday.  You can see the original video HERE.  A few weeks ago the challenge was to use one of their impression plates to partially emboss a card and since I didn't have one of their impression plates, I used one of my dies to emboss the card HERE.  Oops!  Guess I posted that card a few weeks early huh?  Well, here is my card for this week!

I used my Turning a New Leaf dies to emboss the Spring Moss card stock.  This was also my first time using my Blueberry Sky card stock, it's such a pretty blue, I'll definitely be using it more!  A pretty simple card, but I really liked the way the embossing turned out and wanted it to be the star!

Do you have big plans for this weekend?  The girls are out for Easter break through Tuesday and we're heading over to mom and dad's Sunday for a late lunch.  Today is my sisters birthday :)  I don't think she reads the blog, but just in case I'll wait until next week to post her card!  I hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by today!

Make it Monday

Hello there!  I have a quick card to share with you today.  This one is for the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge.  The challenge this week was to use heat embossing on your card, which I love to do.  I made one card and used black embossing powder and the polka dots just looked, well...bad. So I pitched that one in the trash and made this one instead!

I embossed the polka dots with clear embossing powder and I used black embossing powder for the bingo card.  I wasn't sure about the Simply Chartreuse, but it's kind of growing on me.  Oh, and I'm loving the Hawaiian Shores buttons.  It was hard to pick just one!

Paper:  PTI Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores, Simply Chartreuse
Ink:  Versamark, Momento Tuxedo Black
Stamps:  PTI Polka Dot Basics II, Tag Its I, It's Official 
Other:  PTI Rustic Twine, Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores Buttons, Fiskars Apron Lace Punch 

Alright folks, I'm outta here!  Have a rockin' good time today and thanks for stopping by!

PTI Make it Monday

Yes, I know it's Thursday and my post title says Make it Monday.  I have not lost it...yet.  I played along with a little challenge this week over at Nichole Heady's blog.  You can check it out HERE. 

The challenge was to distress your edges.  I had to play around a bit from what my original design was.  At first I was going to make a set of cards, but it just wasn't working for me.  So this is what I ended up coming up with...

 

I stamped each one of the rain boots with Versamark and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  Then I cut them out and DISTRESSED them with scissors :) I popped them up with pop dots and stamped my sentiment at the bottom.  I love the colors of this card, so fun and springy and very fitting with all the rain we've had around here lately.

Have a great Thursday and I'll see you tomorrow!  Thanks for coming by today!
