PTI Make It Monday # 78 - Stitching on Diecuts

Two posts in one day! I couldn't wait to share this card with you! ;) It is very different from my norm, but I had fun with it. It is sort of shabby and homespun... but bright and fun at the same time. :) The Make it Monday Challenge #78 over at PTI was to stitch on diecuts...I used the Button Card dies and the Limitless Layers Squares dies along with Fruit Fusion:Cherries.



Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Fruit Fusion: Cherries
Paper: PTI White, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist Pattern Pack
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Dies: PTI Cherries, Button Card, Limitless Layers Squares
Other: Copic Markers, DMC Floss, Paper Piercer, CSS Buttons, Popdots

A Cherry Sweet Birthday

Today we are going to a birthday party for one of Logan's (girl)friends. ;)
Alyssa is turning eight, and apart from being a HUGE Justin Bieber fan, she loves all things girly. I pick up things from the Target Dollar Spot all the time without any real projects in mind, and for occasions like this. Since I have all boys, I don't really keep up with what is the "in" girl thing, but keeping coordinating goodies on hand, it is pretty easy (and fun) to create a cute gift in no time.

We got Alyssa the Justin Beiber DVD (not pictured), but I wanted to put some other things with it, so I dug through my stash and found a few things I thought she might like. I had been itching to use my Papertrey Ink Fruit Fusion: Cherries stamp set for awhile now, and this was the perfect opportunity. The tote bag, clipboard, notepad, and pink polkadot box are all from the Tagret Dollar Spot. I dressed up some movie theatre sized boxes of candy for her to enjoy while watching her new movie, and inside the pink box, there are mini sized Cherry scented goodies from Bath and Body Works that I picked up over the summer. Then I made a matching postcard style card for her. I just love that the tote bag can double as a gift bag, and used again later.

That's it for now... off to the lake for her party! :)

Back to School Treat Jars

Back again with another project using the MIM Glitter Window techique at PTI this week. After seeing the cute treat jars that my buddy Ted made for his coworkers, I wanted to make some for the boys' teachers. We go to "Meet the Teacher Day" at school next week and they will be able to give these to their new teachers then. I haven't gotten the candy yet, so just pretend it's in there. LOL!



And here is a close up of the cards that I made using the Lunchbox Note die, the Apple die and stamp set , and the Glitter Window Technique.

PTI Make it Monday # 26 - Decreasing Apertures & Glitter Windows

This week's PTI Make It Monday Challenge is all about decreasing apertures and glitter windows.

I love the glitter window technique! Using the Fruit Fusion: Berry stamp set and some prisma glitter, I created a card using this technique, and it almost looks like a sugared strawberry.
