This card was so much fun to create with my stitching dies. I used the needle case leaves for tail feathers and followed Nichole's wish for a nestled sentiment with this Waffle Flower banner.The mix and mat series is getting lots of play in my craft room.

Wanda inspired me to make a gift topper with the flower mandala die. 

The card blossomed from there!

PTI Birdhouse Contest

Papertrey cardstock is too heavy for my printer, so I channeled my inner Melissa Phillips and selected patterned paper and vintage notions to decorate my birdhouse. I did use Papertrey poppy red and stampers white cardstock and silk ribbon. I love the birdhouse pattern and look forward to playing with it again!

I immediately thought of stitching my design when I saw the inspiration photo. All supplies are Papertrey except for the Simon Says Stamp “you” and DMC floss. 

This was so much fun to make!

My stamps arrived in the nick of time to make the card I've imagined since release night.

Only 17 different inks! My MISTI saved me from any mistakes - love it.

I love to stitch, so I truly enjoyed this challenge. Mixing back and white with a pop of colored embroidery was fun to design around. It was novel (no pun intended) to stitch on paper and very easy after I secured the pieces to be stitched with a few drops of glue.

The inspiration photo immediately brought to mind a Gucci blouse in Vogue magazine. Unfortunately, my order only arrived late this afternoon so I had to scramble to get this card made, but it turned out just as I imagined! You just have to imagine you can tell I used lavender moon and autumn rose. They look a little blue here. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh, and the scripty thanks die is from Lawn Fawn.

I love the inspiration photo's aquas and yellows and floral theme.

It was so much fun choosing elements to add to my needle book!

Papertrey Ink Oct. Blog Hop

It would be fun to play with all of the unexpected holiday color combos this month,

 but I immediately knew what I wanted to do with these colors. Everything's from

Papertrey except for Avery Elle's "Cheers" and Martha Stewart's punched snowflake.

I love stitching felt, and these dies work perfectly. I just need some grey felt to make a tassel.
