You've Got Mail!

My almost 4-year-old granddaughter loves to get mail from her Nanny. I’ve sent her a couple of cards recently which she keeps on display in her room.  BE STILL MY HEART!!!  So, when I was thinking of what to get ready to send her another card, I thought about these sweet Pure Innocence stamps sets from My Favorite Things Stamps.  So, I pulled them out and colored this one up with my Copic markers.  Isn’t she the cutest little mail delivery person ever???  Can you find where I used my red Copic marker?

·      Stamp set(s):  MFT - Pure Innocence You’ve Got Mail SS  

·      Ink(s):  Distress Oxide – Broken China; Versafine Claire - Nocturne

·      Paper:  PTI – Stamper’s Select White; MFT – Plaid Patterns 6x6 pad

·      Dies & Embossing folders:  PTI – To the Point Edgers and Skinny Mini Banners Dies; MFT – Up in the Air and Pure Innocence You’ve Got Mail Die-Namics

·      Embellishments/Other things of note:  Wink of Stella – Clear

I’m going to post this on PTI’s Win It Wednesday challenge for the week of February 20 – 27.  It’s about using stand-alone dies.  While the focal image isn’t a PTI product, I love the way that I can use PTI’s Skinny Mini Banners dies for all those little sentiments we all have in our stash.  I also used another stand-alone die to create the hillside behind our precious little mail carrier.  When we can use our products across all of our collection, it makes them an even better value!  I’ll also post this for the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge, Day 24!

Hoping you’re having an awesome Sunday.  The sum is actually out here in NC!  AND, we are supposed to see it all of this week!  Yippee!!!!  We’ve had a very wet 12+ months here and we are due some sunshine!  Have a great week everyone!  

Many Blessings,

Delicates Valentine's Day Cards

           When I saw these Delicates Dies from Papertrey Ink’s Dawn McVey, I knew that I wanted them.  Are they snowflakes, flowers or what?  It didn’t matter! I just fell in love with them!  For the first card, I inlayed the pieces from the lighter colored glitter card stock!  I think its absolutely stunning!  A few sequins and small Valentine’s greeting with all of the white space, and the focus becomes those stunning die cuts!  The inlay wasn’t difficult but what a “WOW” factor. Without further lingering, here’s the enabler’s list!

·      Stamp set(s):  Verve – Love Notes

·      Ink(s):  PTI – Hawaiian Shores

·      Paper:  PTI – Stamper’s Select White; The Paper Studio – Solid Glitter in Mint & Turquoise

·      Dies & Embossing folders:  PTI – Delicates Die 

·      Embellishments/Other things of note:  MISTI; Pretty Pink Posh – 6mm Clear Drops & 4mm Aquamarine Sequins 

           For my second card, I used just the die cut Delicates themselves layered over an embossed card front.  It was simple but still has that WOW factor with the lovely die cuts cut from glitter cardstock.  Sometimes more is less, right?  Here is my enabler’s list for this lovely card!

·      Stamp set(s):  MFT – More Essential Sentiments SS 

·      Ink(s):  PTI – Hawaiian Shores

·      Paper:  PTI – Stamper’s Select White & Hawaiian Shores; The Paper Studio – Glitter paper in Mint

So there you have it!  One gorgeous die set from Dawn McVey’s Raspberry Suite Design, some other simple elements that combine into pure gorgeousness if I do say so myself.  These lovely dies will look good behind other die cut elements such as flowers.  Check them out over at www.papertreyink.comand put Delicates in the search feature.
