I got involved in another purging episode in my studio last night, so luckily I was up earlier enough this morning to get a couple of (needed) cards made for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. In August, I’ll be on the road when the Blog Hop comes, so I didn’t want to miss this one.
Here’s the beautiful inspiration piece.
It’s just perfect for the new Sweet Life stamp set, but I don’t have that, so I used Rosie Posie for the first card.
For some reason the Berry Sorbet looks more like Pure Poppy in the photo, but not IRL. I used Dawn McVey’s video from Stamp-a-Faire to tie the bow.
The next card is my favorite of the two, and uses one of my all-time favorite stamp sets: Lovely Layers.
All the supplies except the ready-made tag are from Papertrey Ink. I really need to put in an order for new inks as the Sweet Blush ink is no longer stamping images well. I had a similar problem with other ink pads last week.
beautiful projects!
How pretty are these!! Love the die cuts of lovely layers especially!!
Two beautiful cards, Karen! Lovely Layers is one of my favourites, too!
Both of your projects are really lovely. I especially like your second one, since I used that stamp set, too, and it is fun to see different things done with the same set.
Both really pretty your tag card is gorgeous with the Lovely Layers.
Two really beautiful projects….. and LoVe the Lovely Layers tag!
The more I see these Lovely Layers used, the more I feel the need to add them to my cart! Beautiful projects.
Very pretty projects!!! Love them both!!
Karen, these are so elegant, especially with that little touch of ribbon on each card.
Love the second one best as well,Karen. Shows how much you use the pads if they are running out!
Beautiful cards from a lovely colour scheme Karen, well done!
beautiful cards
Oh Karen, your first card took my breath away….. then I saw the tag card WOW. you have done a wonderful job on both.
They are so pretty. A card from you is a gift indeed.
I really need to go through my ink pads and purge the ones that are too dry to use. We’re finally getting our feet on the ground from being gone for six (bills, laundry, grocery re-stocking) and I think I’ve finally caught up on sleep. I would like to grab some time at my craft desk soon.

That is a beautiful color scheme & your cards turned out lovely!
You make such lovely things, Karen … I really like that first one. There’s something about those colours!
As pretty as the first one is, I have to agree that the second is my favorite also. I just love Lovely Layers and you used it perfectly here.
These are both lovely projects. I seem to be in the minority with your first card as my favorite. I think it’s the way you highlighted the sentiment.
They are absolutely beautiful!
Wow, both are beautiful, Karen! I love the colors and clean designs! And you HAVE been rockin’ the Lovely Layers – which I’m ignoring…bcuz I do not need it…I do not need it (trying to convince myself, lol).
