PTI supplies for MIM

This was a fun card I made using a lot of PTI supplies but a Mama Elephant stamp set.  It is for the MIM angled background challenge.  I have one more to post with this pp collection (maybe two if I get up stairs and get cracking LOL).

It's a good life!
Terri E.

love the MIM challenge like times a hundred LOL!

Thankfully the MIM angled backgrounds challenge is back in a big way for me.  I have 2 other cards with this same pp collection.  I am going to be sending a HUGE package off to OWH and needed to add some more love and miss you cards. 

It's a good life!

Sunshine angled card

I am on a roll LOL!  It has been so much fun creating and the girls are loving it as well.  It has been a major push to organize and USE all of the hoards of supplies that I have accumulated. 

Thankfully the MIM angled backgrounds challenge is helping with that in a tremendous way.  I really like to get a monthly stamp kit that comes with pattern paper.  I also like the idea of getting pattern paper collections from archivers when we go.  Unfortunately, I am more of a CAS kind of girl and don't really think to bust out the pattern paper. 

This challenge is the prefect inspiration to bust out a bunch of papers (it is also going to mean a lot of cards with the same color scheme because I can't just throw the scraps away).

I also used half and half stamp set and dies which have been neglected, a win win LOL!

It's a good life!

Fav of the night

I have used my You stamp set more today then I ever have before.  This is actually two catch up challenges in one :).  It is the repeat color and the glitter boarder challenge.  I am giving this one to my hubby, he has a big day tomorrow.   I am also entering this in the Simon says stamp bling it up challenge. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

You...

I had a blast inking my own background.  I used a stencil on this cutie.  This is for the MIM catch up challenge.  Here is the inked background video.

It's a good life!

Flag challenge

I had so much fun with this flag challenge.  I went neon with the flags and added a fun PTI sentiment.  This is for the MIM catch up challenge, here is the original flag video.

It's a good life!

Ink splatters

I forgot how much fun this technique was.  My only problem was that we ran out of air LOL!  Izzy was bummed because she didn't get to make one today.  We will have to get more air soon.  You can just use a straw, but it is much more fun with a can of air LOL!

This is for the MIM catch up day and here is the original video

It's a good life!
Terri E.
This was my second attempt on Betsy's MIM 3D die cut sentiments.  When she says this is a little detailed, I should watch out LOL!  It went better this time, but I still want to bust out the other birthday die cut. 
This is for the MIM catch up week and also for the Simon Says Stamp bling it on challenge

It's a good life!

Fun resist!

This is for the MIM catch up week found here.  Specifically, I did the layered emboss resist challenge.  I used paint for the resist.  It was messy, but fun.

Total Nicole Case

 
I am having a ball at catch up week for the MIM challenges.  I feel that today is catch up day for many reasons LOL!  I didn't have the set that Nicole used for the card at the time of the repeat and lift challenge and I am so glad that it finally made it here. 

What I love about the MIM challenges is that I don't feel one bit bad about a total CASE. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Another Izzy card

This is for the MIM catch up challenge.  The original that I worked from is found here about stamping square frames.  The inside says you're such a peach!

Masculine style

This card was a fun masculine card using salty ocean and mowed lawn for the colors.

Terri E.

First attempt

I love stamping when I have time to keep trying LOL!  This was my first attempt on Betsy's MIM 3D die cut sentiments.  When she says this is a little detailed, I should watch out LOL!  I really like the effect, but I got the angles wrong the first time.  You will see more today :). 
This is for the MIM catch up week and also for the Simon Says Stamp bling it on challenge

Life is sweet

I am making bunch of cards today so be warned!!!  It is my goal to have a stock pile of lunch box cards for Izzy.  she loves them and I love making her day brighter while she is at school. I made this a scratch and sniff card (we learned how to do that together this summer, so she will totally LOVE it).

Fav of the night!

This little cutie is for Izzy,  I am starting to make cards for Izzy's lunchbox. 
This is for the PTI string challenge.  The Reverse confetti color challenge.  It is also for the Simon Stays Wednesday bling challenge.  This is also for the PTI MIM heat and stick powder.  It was my first time using it and I'm not sure I had it correct, but I will keep trying it. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

With Love

This was very inspired by Laura Bassen's Mamma Elephant card

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Revers Confetti Joy!

this tag was made for the reverse confetti color challenge and also the PTI tie it up with a string tag.  I had a lot of fun with the color challenge.
I used zing embossing powder from PTI on this card along with some fun stamps from Mama Elephant. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Reverse Confetti Color Challenge

So excited to be trying my first color challenge from Reverse Confetti.  I don't have any of their stamps yet, but there is a new release coming out in January and I think it will all be changed then LOL!
I used some fun Washi tape in the background to make my own pattern paper.  Here is the challenge picture below.  Aren't the colors interesting?  It was a new color combo for me, but I really enjoyed it.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Papertrey Ink String blog hop!

I am excited to be able to enter some cards/tags into the PTI string blog hop.  I finally got to bust out my strip stich die.  I had to have it and then have never used it. 
I am also entering this into the PTI MIM challenge that was to emboss letters.  I don't sue these dies or the stamp set enough.
Lastly, this card is going to be entered into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to bling it up.  I added some glitter to the holes in the heart cut out.   

I have a few more to put up tonight.

It's a good life!

Last of the night

I am on a tag kick!  The girls are loving it and they said that it makes their boxes look so wonderful LOL!  This one is inspired by Maile's tag from last year for the Classroom Tag challenge from Ellen Hudson.  It was so much fun to cruise through the archives.  I'm a CAS kind of stamper so it was fun to find some that had that inspiration.  I thought it fitting to end with this one and a stamp set designed my Maile herself. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Izzy's last card for the challenge.

She loves being creative and hand drew her tree with the ornaments.  She added a squirrel at the top just for fun.  Love that girl!  She was inspired by Ellen's tag found here.  This is for the Classroom 12 days of challenge

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Joy

I had a good time with this one.  I used distress inks instead of gelatos.  I used some wink of stella on the word joy.  It was a lot of fun to put together.  It is for the classroom tag challenge from Ellen Hudson.  Jill Hudson was the creator of the original, she is new to me but I enjoyed checking her out. I was looking for some rocking purple ribbon only to see that I don't have any YIKES!!! 

It's a good life!

Maile inspierd tag

My favorite tag!!!

This tag makes my heart smile.  I love Izzy's creativity and I am totally angling to have this as my tag for my gift LOL!  Izzy made this for the Classroom's tag challenge.  We aren't a big family with a ton of layers on our cards.  She liked Heather's card found here that was just stamping.  She created a card with the star that everyone saw that led them to Jesus.  We had our Christmas play yesterday and she has that on the brain.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Snowman layered

This is the last one of the night for me, Izzy has one more and it is my favorite of the bunch LOL!  I made this for the Ellen Hudson Tags challenge.  I used Ellen's tag as my inspiration.  I liked the blue background and the side elements.  I flipped the branch space and the main element to the bottom.

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Izzy's bird

No-peeking

I am back with another tag for the Classroom's tag challenge.  We aren't a big family with a ton of layers on our cards.  I loved Heather's card found here that was just stamping.  I am having issues with our 3 year old "accidentally" ripping the wrapping paper.  This tag works great for her LOL!

Golden tag

 
This one is another tag for the Ellen Hudson 12 days of Christmas tags.  I was inspired by Ellen's tag found here.  I used a hoarded basic grey pack with some fun stickers and paper.  It was a lot of fun. 

It's a good life!

Orniament tag

This one is another tag for the Ellen Hudson 12 days of Christmas tags.  I was inspired by Ellen's tag found here.  I used a hoarded basic grey pack with some fun stickers and paper.  It was a lot of fun.  As you can see my new found gold love has arrived.  I really don't know why I am so late to jump on this band wagon.  It is stunning.

Cece's awesome tag

Cece was inspired by Kelly's tag found here for the Classroom 12 days of tags challenge.  Cece loved the pink background and also the animal element. 

It's a good life!

Boxes

I totally hit a grove with some old Christmas papers and stickers.  Not that I am a hoarder or anything, but I had a TON of this and loved getting to use it.  This tag was made for Ellen Hudson's 12 tags of Christmas tags.  I loved the presents and thought it went well with her theme. 

It's a good life!

Jennifer McGuire LOVE

This was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's tag for Ellen Hudson's tag challenge.  I LOVE her and her amazing style.  It is CAS meeting technique goddess LOL!

Peace, Love, Joy LOVING GOLD

This tag started my love of all things gold again.  I made this for Ellen  Hudson's tag challenge.  This was inspired by Julie Embrosile's tag for the Classroom challenge.  Yes, she is gold crazy and it is rubbing off.  Embossing power in particular.  I really liked the dimension that she got from the die cuts.  I did the same thing on this one. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

Super fun vellum embossed tag

This tag was made for two fun challenges.  The first is the PTI MIM challenge to emboss on vellum.  The second challenge is the awesome tag challenge from Ellen Hudson's classroom site.  This one was inspired by Teri Anderson.  I really liked the border and the vellum element.  This was my favorite tag of the vellum group, but the picture didn't due it justice. 

It's a good life!

Baby, it's cold outside

This tag was made for two fun challenges.  The first is the PTI MIM challenge to emboss on vellum.  The second challenge is the awesome tag challenge from Ellen Hudson's classroom site.  This one was inspired by Teri Anderson.  I really liked the border and the vellum element.  I have no idea why these buttons look off by the snowman's head.

Sunday, so 500 posts coming :)

I am giving fair warning that this is going to be a long night of posts.  I have been making up a storm and not keeping up with this end of life.  Sorry in advance.

This tag was made for two fun challenges.  The first is the PTI MIM challenge to emboss on vellum.  The second challenge is the awesome tag challenge from Ellen Hudson's classroom site.  This one was inspired by Teri Anderson.  I really liked the red border, bow at the top and the vellum element.

The best mordern whimsy of the bunch LOL!

This tag was made for two challenges.  it is for the Modern whimsy PTI MIM challenge.  This style is finally getting a little better for me.  Lots of pattern paper and layers.  Having a smaller space to get ready helped. 
This is also for the feminine Tag challenge from the CLASSroom.  I am just finding this challenge this year.  This card was inspired by the one found here.  This tag was a great one for me to spring board off of.  I liked how it was a little simpler with just a pop of fun in the lower left corner. 

It's a good life!
Terri E.

tag #5

This tag was made for two challenges.  it is for the Modern whimsy PTI MIM challenge.  This was a hard one for me.  Lots of pattern paper and layers.  Having a smaller space to get ready helped. 
This is also for the feminine Tag challenge from the CLASSroom.  I am just finding this challenge this year.  This card was inspired by the one found here.  I really gravitated to the main element on the far right side. 

It's a good life!
