Papertrey Ink Color Challenge – Hello Tulips Card

Good evening and welcome!

Papertrey Ink’s 11th Anniversary Party continues and this time they have a Color Challenge. I chose this color scheme:

Since I just picked up some tulips today at the grocery store for a buck, I had tulips on my mind. This is the card I made:

Love those tulips! I also cut down the quatrefoil background to make that interestingly patterned fence. The background is stencil blended ink, I just taped off the borders.

To jazz up the sentiment and the butterfly, they each got a coat of Wink of Stella.

Materials used:

• Papertrey Ink Tulip Time stamps and dies; Quatrefoil Cover Plate, Swoosh die
• Papertrey Ink dye inks: Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz & Aqua Mist
• Ken Oliver Crafts Color Burst Ink: Chartreuse
• Tsukineko Memento Dye Ink: Pear Tart
• Kuretake Zig Wink of Stella – clear
• Papertrey Ink Hibiscus Burst cardstock
• Core’dinations white cardstock
• Scrapbook adhesives by 3L foam adhesive squares & tape runner
• SMS ‘Stay Put’ glue

PTI 10th Anniversary Challenge: Transformation – Golden Framed Dewy Periwinkle Photo

The final challenge of Papertrey Ink’s 10th Anniversary celebration was called Transformation. The challenge was to create a new project based on a card you were not happy with. That was easy… That white, pink and green frame I just did really didn’t turn out as great as I’d imagined it. I thought the colors would pull out the colors in the picture, but was highly disappointed.

So, I decided to re-try this time with a solid gold background…

Wow! NOW the picture POPS!! MUCH better, don’t you think?!!

I love making cards out of pictures I’ve taken… I need to do that more often! They make great ‘any occasion’ cards to have on hand!!

Supplies used:

• Papertrey Ink Quatrefoil cover plate die
• Colorbok Shiny Gold Metallic Paper
• Sookwang 6″ Scor-tape adhesive (this also worked MUCH better for piecing in the pieces)
• Core’dinations Parisian Nights A2 white card

I’m playing along with the following challenges… click on any one of them for more information on how you can join the fun… you’ll want to hurry and join this one if you can – you might win your PTI wishlist of up to $300! Wouldn’t that be fabulous?!

• Papertrey Ink 10th Anniversary Challenge: Transformation
• Cropstop March Challenge Linky Party #26: Anything Goes (Core’dinations, Scor-tape)

Thanks again for visiting… don’t forget to stop back by on Friday for a cool surprise!

Papertrey Ink 10th Anniversary Celebrating… 2016 – Trellis Tulip Hello Card

Well, we’ve made it to the end of this series! Thanks for hanging in there with me! Today is Papertrey Ink’s final anniversary review… Celebrating the Past, Present and Future: 2016.

It’s been a fun trip down memory lane with them. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for tomorrow!!

Well, they released Tulip Time in 2016, so I get to come up with my own card for a change. Hope you like it:

Ahhh…. you can just feel the warmth of spring! That trellis is made from the Quatrefoil die… if you cut it in half, you can then mix and match the pieces to form all kinds of nifty patterns.

 

 

I glue the edges together first, then snip off the ends and tuck them under the edge if needed. Again, I like using a flower shaping tool on these for dimension.

Materials used:

• Papertrey Ink Tulip Time stamps and dies
• Papertrey Ink Quatrefoil Cover Plate die
• Papertrey Ink Swoosh dies
• Papertrey Ink cardstock: Summer Sunrise & Terracotta Tile
• Core’dinations cardstock: white
• Papertrey Ink dye inks Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise & Terracotta Tile
• Memento dye inks: Bamboo Leaves & Pear Tart
• Misc. adhesives

I’m playing along with the following challenges… click on any one of them for more information on how you can join the fun:

• Papertrey Ink: Celebrating the Past, Present and Future: 2016
• Cropstop Linky Party #25: Anything Goes (Core’dinations & Memento)
