Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge


It's Blog Hop time again for Papertrey!!!  This month's theme is felt.  I love PTI's new line of felt.  I chose to use some of their Hawaiian Shores felt for this card.  I also used felt from Hobby Lobby that I already had on hand.  No stamping on this card.  YIKES!


Quick explanation:
  • SU's Top Note die for the large black felt piece
  • Cuttlebug flower die for all blossoms except biggest HS piece
  • Blossom Two nestie for largest flower
  • Delightful Dahlia dies for leaves
  • Green Boutique patterned paper on black cs layer
  • rub-on for sentiment
  • rhinestones colored with Copic marker
  • black brad for flower center

Asian Fusion


Good morning all!  It's a lovely Saturday morning here in my part of the world.  Here's a card I made using Papertrey's Asian Fusion set.  I love this set and haven't used it nearly enough.  In fact, I stamped the vase and sentiment on the Top Note cut out last month and then it just sat on my stamp table.  I finally finished it up yesterday.

I started by cutting a piece of linen vellum cardstock with the Top Note die from SU.  I stamped the outline vase, stems and sentiment in black, then stamped the vase again on my Green Tea Leaves pp.  I stamped the stems in Hawaiian Shores ink onto a scrap of the linen vellum and then carefully cut around the vase and stems.

When I put those onto the card I thought it needed something else, so I used the two largest Blossom Two nestabilites to cut out a pretty Hawaiian Shores felt flower that I mounted under the vase and stems.  I also used my regular hole punch for the three felt dots on the right side of the card.  I couldn't throw out the felt scrap without getting every use out of it.

For the final touches I colored the center of the flowers with a red glitter gelly roll pen and added red rhinestones to the centers of the felt dots.  I'm happy with how this turned out.  What do you think?
