PTI November 2016 Blog Hop

Such amazing inspiration for Papertrey Ink's November 2016 Blog Hop! 

Aren't those colors gorgeous!  I had lots of fun playing! First I was inspired by the gold polka dots on a hawaiian shores background.

I used the Vintage Ornaments II set with just one color on each ornament. I stamped the pine branches from Holiday Greens on Limeade Ice cardstock and then brushed a little Pinefeather in the center of each diecut to add depth. I dug some gold threads out of my collection of needlepoint fibers to hang the ornaments. The sentiment is stamped on vellum.

I created another card with the Vintage Ornaments II set.  A little bit simpler with no die cutting.  I love how versatile this set is and how you can apply color in different ways to the ornaments. I added some sequins and a strip of stickles to the left side of the card.

My first attempt at stamping had a little stamping boo boo so I used it for a tag. I used a die from Post & Parcel for my tag. It's my new favorite die for tags right now!

And last I created a card with Gifts of the Season. I did lots of masking on the gifts and then I colored some of the gifts with copics to add a little more color. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
Lots of beautiful cards to see on the hop!

PTI Create Along With Us Nov 2016

There were some great cards created by the Papertrey Ink Design Team this month that we can use as inspiration for our Create Along With Us cards this week!  I was inspired by Lexi Daly's confetti card below.  I love the bright graphic look with the black sentiment at the lower edge. 

So here's what I created...

Instead of the candle for the 'confetti' pieces, I used the words Peace, Love, & Joy from PTI's Instant Photo: Holidays stamp set. 

I was also inspired by Melissa Phillips card below so I made a second card. I love the scalloped front edge with the polka dot paper on the inside!

Here's what I came up with:

I must have been still feeling the influence of Lexi's card with the sentiment on the black rectangle! The sentiment is from Birthday Bash Sentiments stamp set.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to get any decent photos since it was such a wet rainy Sunday here in Northern California. Of course I always wait til the last minute!

Thanks for coming by to take a look!
