Check it out HERE.
This is the note card I made. The 'hello' die is fairly big, so it works well for this technique. The smaller dies I tried ~ not so much ;-)

PTI March Release-Day 4
Day 4 of the March Release brings us one of the most magical things about spring ~ the return of the birds! Nichole has created a template for making a very sweet little bird house, so that we can assemble and alter the bird house to make it our own.
The Challenge ~ Build a Bird House
Create and decorate a bird house using the provided template.
My Card ~
I made the birdhouse out of white cardstock, the roof was embossed with a woodgrain EF on Kraft c/s.
Had to cut down the Picket Fence die to fit in front of the birdhouse.
Leaves and Birds are from Song Birds set.
Flowers are cut from a Darice border die.

My Card ~
Stamps/Dies: Peonies on Parade.
Patterned Paper: Recollections 6X6 pad of Christmas papers
I just bought a set of Spectrum Noir Sparkle brush pens and had to use them on these flowers. The glitter is amazing IRL, wish I could have captured it on the photo.

The dies are all from Song Birds. My multiples are one of the flowers in this set. I tried to copy the colors on the bird as closely as I could to create the 5 flowers on the bottom.

This week, Lizzie is up with her take on using nail polish for marbled backgrounds. Check it out HERE.Okay, this was a tad messy, I don't have many nail polishes in my cosmetic collection (usually get a French Manicure) but I had a red, bright pink and a pale pink which evedently has sparkly bits in it~BONUS for this technique 😉
I am not crazy about my card, but I can't pass up a MIM Challenge now, can I?

The PTI Challenge-Altered Envelope~
Our challenge is to create a new card for someone in your life who could use a little cheering up this week. While your supplies are out, put as much time into the envelope as you do the card. You can create your own envelope, paint it, ink it, stamp it, brayer it, color it, doodle on it...whatever you are inspired to do.
Sounds like a good idea to me, cause it will go right in the mail today! 😊

PTI 10th Anniversary-Day 1
Today begins the celebration of ten years in this wonderful crafting world for Papertrey Ink.
Happy Anniversary to you and the amazing design team of the past and present! This is such an incredible milestone and PTI is celebrating big time with ten days of festivities as they countdown to the March release.
March 5th brings us a special stitching die feature from Lizzie Jones, which you can see HERE.
The Challenge:
Lizzie has shared some amazing stitching projects, both old and new. Use that inspiration to create your own project. You can create a felt project, or a paper creation, no stitching required, you can add stitching if you wish. Take a look at the colors, the way things are laid out, and the repeating patterns.
My Card ~
Die cut PTI's Beautiful Butterflies from yellow felt and Butterfly Layers cut from black sparkle paper. PTI's Fancy Flourishes is stamped in Lilac Distress Ink, sentiment from Spring Woods stamped in True Black ink. I used my 'Sew Easy' Stitch Piercer to created the lines bordering the white card panel. Purple patterned paper is from an older Stampin' Up 6X6 pad.

I went with a chocolate colored bunny and a basket of flowers stamped on watercolor paper and colored with alcohol markers. Then I used Spellbinders 'Postage Stamps' in violet card stock and popped the two panels onto a pink embossed base card.
The sweet cluster of flowers on the bottom are from a lovely Basic Grey set of stamps 'Ornamental Flowers' which was given to me by a special Team Member 💓 Thank you, dear friend!
The butterfly is cut from a Martha Stewart border collection, cotton tail, gingham ribbon and pink neck bow are from my stash.
