One Layer Card with Papertrey Ink’s Papercrafting Alphabet Prompts

Hello dear friends, followers and visitors! Brace yourselves, today I hope to post several cards that I have been working on the past week, but have been too ill to post.

Let’s start with a card for Papertrey Ink’s 9th anniversary celebration’s Day 10 challenge using their papercrafting alphabet:

Using D.Ann, I come up with:

• D – Add detail -with a paper piercer (or white pen)
• A – Add a border
• N – Try a new product that you purchased but haven’t used yet (which happens to be Simon Says Stamp’s Work It Wednesday Challenge)

I also wanted this card to fit Simon Says Stamp’s Monday Challenge of Spritz & Spray and their Wednesday Challenge of a One Layer Card So, with all that in mind, here is what I came up with:

I spritzed and sprayed some Tattered Angels Glimmer mists, three of which were new but unused. I stamped with my new-to-me and unused til now Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 2 stamps. I don’t have any pierced border dies, and didn’t want to pierce each hole individually, so I dove into my sewing kit and used my serrated tracing wheel to do a nice pierced border. To add more interest, I embossed around the sentiment. I love how the Brilliance ink and the Glimmer Mists shine!:

The inside was nicely embossed and pierced, so I stamped another sentiment inside, brushed an inkpad over the embossing and used some chalks to finish it off:

It’s going in the mail on Tuesday to a sweet friend who sent me a yummy home-cooked meal yesterday.

Materials used:

• Papertrey Ink stamps: Mat Stack 2 Collection & In Bloom
• Papertrey Ink SAF2014 – Renaissance die
• Dritz serrated tracing wheel
• Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists: Bahama Blue, Bubble Light Green, Caribbean Blue, & Chocolate Covered Cherries
• Tsukineko Brilliance Pigment Ink: Crimson Copper
• Tsukineko Memento Dye Ink: Teal Zeal

Edited to add: Since that was so easy and since Papertrey Ink’s Day 9 Saturday Snail Mail challenge was to make a thank yo u card for their warehouse staff, I made another the same way:

The only difference is that on the inside of this one I used a sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Flower Fusion #8 mini stamp set. I’ll enter this on in their contest via Instagram so there’s one less post today.

• Re-edited to add: Since I’ve rarely used my poor neglected Glimmer Mists, I’m adding this to A Colorful Journey’s Let’s Play challenge link for this week: https://acolorfuljourney.com/lets-play-with-lace/
• and: Thank you, Karen, for recommending CropStop’s Linky Party #13 anything goes – I’m deligted to join in the fun!: http://www.cropstop.com/blog/uncategorized/cropstop-linky-party-13/
