July Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

  • by

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).
