PTI Make It Monday #187 - Partial Die Cuts

For this week's challenge, I decided to follow Melissa's lead and make a Christmas themed tag.  I own only a small number of PTI holiday dies, so my choices were limited.  After playing around with several different ideas, I settled on a heart shaped shaker tag using my heart die from the Shakers & Sprinkles kit and one of the scenery dies from this year's Tinsel & Tags kit.  I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by to check it out.

My Supplies:  Paper Studio printed snowflake paper
                       Paper Studio white cardstock
                       PTI heart die from Shakers & Sprinkles kit
                       PTI white crystal sprinkles from Shakers & Sprinkles kit mixed with white glitter
                       PTI house scene die from Tinsel & Tags kit
                       Red and white baker's twine
                       Red button

                     

Merry Monday#133 - Rustic Christmas

Here is my rustic little Christmas card for this week's challenge.  It reminds me of snowy forests, wood stacked next to the fireplace, and singing Christmas carols.

My Supplies:  PTI kraft cardstock

                       PTI dies - Christmas tree, Banner die from Tinsel & Tags kit, Oval Shaker die from

                       Sprinkles & Shakers kit

                       My Mind's Eye patterned paper

                       Mementos Dew Drop ink in rich cocoa

                       Paper Studio embossing folder

Merry Monday - Snowflakes, Dry Embossing, Neutral Colors

I made a second card for Merry Monday this week because I realized that although my first card was monocromatic, it didn't really meet the requirement for neutral colors.  Plus, I just love making more cards!  So, here is my second Merry Monday card in neutral grays and white.  The card base is a pale gray with a slightly darker gray rectangle attached.  Then I dry embossed snowflakes on a different gray paper and add white hills of snow.  I die cut the trees, house, snowman and deer, stamping the snowman, deer, and house.  I used foam behind the house to make it stand out more.  I added a banner with my sentiment stamped in gray and finally attached punched snowflakes with rinestones.

CASology Challenge - Ghost

This is a simple little ghost card that I put together rather quickly for this week's challenge.  I dry embossed the background with a  vertical stripe and punched a circle 2/3 of the way up the card.  I then punched a larger orange circle and stamped it with silver stars for the "window."  Next, I die cut my little ghost and added rinestone gems for his eyes and mouth.  I cut a small fancy rectangle and stamped my sentiment in orange.  Lastly, I added orange and white baker's twine for the finishing touch.

My Supplies:
Paper Studio - black and orange cardstock, rinetones
PTI Happy, Spooky Halloween - ghost die, star stamps, sentiment
Sizzix - fancy rectangle die
Mementos Dew Drops - orange ink
