PTI Stamp a Faire 2017 – 2nd Anniversary

Stamp a Faire 2017 challenge “2^nd Anniversary – COTTON by Stephanie Gold.  

I really enjoyed making this card as it was very feminine.  I adore flowers and can’t believe I chose to not incorporate some as I usually do but it would have taken away from the focal point of candy cotton, sparkles and ribbons.

In the tutorial it showed making a cone for the cotton candy, however, it was a struggle so I thought what else do I have on hand that is similar.  Aha!  Fresh Floral Wrap Up stamp set.

PTI Stamp a Faire 2017 - 1st Anniversary Tradition: Paper

1st Anniversary Tradition:  Paper, By Laura Bassen

I loved how this turned out except for the sewing.  Only 3 diamonds were sewn  because my machine was giving me difficulty.  This is one card style that I will definitely make again – love the concept.  However, I am going to figure out a way to hand sew the vellum rather than by machine.

The tutorial for this type of card may be found at http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2017/08/saf-2017-guest-laura-bassen.html

Papertrey Make It Monday - Z Fold Card

All supplies Papertrey, Ink unless otherwise stated.

I had a note in my Papertrey, Ink Planner, on my to do list for this week, that I needed to make a birthday card for my nephew.  I fell in love with the "forget me not perpetual calendar and contacts" pamphlet that comes with the planner.  I put every one's special days in it and then once a year I transfer the information to the actual date in my planner.  The week prior to the event I list out what cards I need to make that particular week on the far left hand column of the planner that is left blank for your" things to do that week list".  It works wonderfully for me and I am assured I never miss a loved one or friends special day.  

When I saw today's Make It Monday challenge of a Z-Fold Card I immediately knew what type of card I would be making for my nephew - a Z-Fold card.  He loves baseball so I went with that theme.  Please note that this is what the card looks like folded and the striped paper is just a background for taking the photo (probably should have just used plain red)
