Papertrey Ink Anniversary Challenges Day 3

My entry for day 3 : Bag and Tag challenge

Today our challenge was to create a bag and tag. With Valentines Day fast approaching I made a little gift package using the Favor it Box 3 Die from Papertrey Ink. The image stamps and main sentiment are from the You are a masterpiece kit and the Love you forever sentiment is from the Pretty Peonies set. Cardstock and ink are also from Papertrey Ink.

My entry for day 2: Maile Belles Inspiration

 

We were asked today to go to Maile Belle's blog and make a card based on a card that inspired us. I chose a card from the November 2014 release. I love it. All the elements come together so nicely. I have used it to create my card above. I used stamps from Meadows Green, the sentiment from  Wet Paint and a die from the Wet Paint set. Ink and cardstock are from Papertrey Ink.

Untouched stamps challenge

Dawn McVey a designer for Papertrey Ink set a challenge for the forum members to ink up a stamp set we had bought but was still waiting to be used. I opted to use a lovely set called Meadows Green  with matching dies. I cased a lovely card which had inspired me to buy the set in the first place. The card I copied is by Lizzie Jones a stamp designer for Papertrey Ink.

This is my entry for the Papertrey Ink's last blog hop of 2014. I used Papertrey ink's white cardstock, patterned paper from Tinsel and Tags collection, soft stone ink, silver embossing powder, In the meadow stamp set and dies. It has been a busy Christmas and I enjoyed a little me time tonight making this simple card.

Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday challenge asked that we make a camouflaged die cut card with

after seeing the instructional video by Laura Bassen. Laura's video was super.

 

This is my entry. I used Papertrey ink products, Wet Paint Stamp set and die cuts, cardstock and ink. It was really easy and fun to put together.

Tinsel and Tags Kit Papertrey Ink

I was very lucky to get this special, limited edition Tinsel and Tags kit by Papertrey Ink  this year. It has been a pleasure to use. I made individual place settings for our Christmas table and used them to top jars of Lindt chocolates as a  little gift for all our guests. They turned out lovely. I am looking forward to setting them out next week.

The dies were also used  to make gift toppers for some of my tutors at college this year. I took a photo of the outside of the college, printed it a number of times, cut them out to back the die cuts and topped with a half of a clear plastic ornament. The tutors were delighted with them. They were so easy to make and yet were so effective.

The ribbon included in the kit is really lovely.  I thought it was just too nice to wrap presents with.  I made some ornaments with some of it. Again these are pretty easy to make by stringing together some beads and gems.
