Papertrey Ink September Blog Hop

It's that time again!! Time for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! This month, this was the inspiration photo:

Hoppy Father's Day

Here is another card for my boys to choose from for Father's Day. :)

Dad, You're My Hero

I decided that I will make several Father's Day cards this year and let my boys go card "shopping" and pick out the card that they would each like to give their daddy for Father's Day. Whatever doesn't make the cut will end up in my etsy shop ;)

It's Keva's Blogaversary!

My friend Keva at Hownowbrownkow is celebrating her blogaversary! Keva is giving away a very generous gift certificate to Papertrey Ink or Verve! Can you believe it? Keva asked that her followers recreate on of her cards. While mine isn't exactly identical, it is based on her Bottles & Booties card.

I used Papertrey Ink's Boy Basics: Frog Hop. This little guy is just so fun! And I just love his little fly friend :) This card is for my son, Logan, for his birthday next month. His favorite color is green, and the frog is perfect for that color! ;)

Stamps: Boy Basics: Frog Hop, Button Boutique

Papertey Ink April Blog Hop!

It's that time again! Time for the Papertey Ink monthly blog hop.

This month's blog hop is dedicated to all the boys and men in our lives! Now's your chance to create Father's Day projects, boy birthday cards and more to build up your stash! Focus on masculine color schemes, fresh pattern combinations, understated embellishments and unique uses of images you may already have in your stash!

I chose to make an I Love You card for my dear sweet husband. I used PTI's new Boy Basics: Out Of This World stamp set. While this is sort of a sappy card, it's still for a man, and is done in a manly color scheme, so I think it qualifies :)







Supplies (all PTI unless noted):
Stamps: Boy Basics: Out of this World, Dot Spot, Tiny Treat: Valentine, Little Bitty Bird
Paper: Pure Poppy, Soft Stone
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark
Other: Rocket Die, Sakura Stardust Pen, Pop Dots, Copic Markers
