Papertrey Ink 8th Anniversary Challenge

Today I'm sharing a card based on the Day 2 Challenge from the Papertrey Ink 8th Anniversary celebration. This time we were to look at Designer Maile Belles for inspiration. Her split panel cards are so eye catching, and I loved this twist where only part of the card front was cut off around a stamped image.

Maile's card

The two smaller feathers from Feathery Finery were stamped with Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist inks before a 1/2 inch vertical strip was cut from the panel. A sentiment from Wet Paint III is stamped and the panel is popped up with foam adhesive over a Tropical Teal embossed card base.

Sequins add the finishing touch.

Merry Monday #144: Bows & PTI 8th Anniversay + Seize the Birthday + Simon Says

A landscaping project and some great weather has distracted me from making cards, but when darkness fell I headed into the office for a quick papercrafting fix. This first card is for Merry Monday Challenge #144: Bows.

I pulled out my favorite May Arts red chevron ribbon and tied a big, fat bow around an embossed panel.

A simple red tag hangs from the bow and provides a spot for the sentiment.

Papertrey Ink is celebrating their 8th Anniversary this month with multiple challenges and prizes. The first challenge is to take one of the Color Recipes and Sketch Recipes to create a card.

A Raspberry Fizz reinker tinted the embossing paste used to create a line of confetti down one side of the kraft card base. While the paste was drying, a circle was cut out of the Tag Sale #5 Die and a New Leaf banner die cut.

The Wet Paint happy die is cut from Hawaiian Shores cardstock a couple of times and stacked on the tag and birthday is heat embossed on the banner to finish the sentiment. The banner is woven through the tag and wrapped wround the edge of the card front.

The harvest gold color is brought in with the Baker's Twine.

This card is also being linked to the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where Simon Says All Things Bright & Beautiful this week.

Curtain Call: Kissing Booth + Simon Says Anything Goes + Paper Crafter's Library Woodgrain Wonders

One look at the new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Kissing Booth and I was pulling out my MFT Chevron Cover Up die.

In addition to the chevron from the photo, the red wood slats on the booth and the banner are represented on my card with the embossed red panel and Savvy Thank You banner die.

The banner is anchored with a couple of Avery Elle die cut bows.

I am also linking this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog where Anything Goes this week.

I also want to mention that a this card of mine is being highlighted at Paper Crafter's Library today on their Trend Watch Woodgrain Wonders post. Woodgrain has always been one of my favorite textures and they have included many wonderful cards in the post.

This was a ten minute, I need a card now card as you can see in my original blog post here.
