We had such a busy weekend, it wasn’t until this morning that I had time to create a couple of cards for this month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. We were away last month, and since this is one of my favorite blog hops I didn’t want to miss it two months in a row. Here’s the inspiration piece:
I’m a big fan of polka dots and have seen some really nice cards and planners for 2015 using gold polka dots so that’s where I started.
I randomly stamped two sizes of polka dots from “Polka Dot Basics,” and layered it on a sheet of metallic gold paper, and then onto a True Black card base. The die cut is from the Wonderful Words set, and I selectively stamped and embossed a part of the Happy Birthday sentiment from Alt&New’s “Label Love.”
For the second card, I used just one of the polka dot stamps, and a die cut from the new-to-me “Wet Paint Cuts.”
This time I matted the polka dots onto True Black cardstock and then onto a Hawaiian Shores card. I’m guessing I’ll find quite a bit of inspiration from the other entries this month, so I’m off to check them out.
Quick work, then! Yes, the polka dots are so lovely
Beautiful Karen!
Classic & elegant – beautiful cards, Karen!
The polka dots are gorgeous. I really like the Gold with the black. Beautiful as always.

Two beautiful cards…. you had me at “polka dots”.
Karen, what beautiful cards!
Dots are always so classy.

Love your polka dot cards. So trendy and perfect!
My goodness Karen, how many of your posts have I missed!!! Love your most recent cards and have pinned them. I particularly like your PTI blog hop card 1 – captures the essence of the challenge. I had hoped to participate this month but life has a habit of getting in the way.
Absolutely wonderful…love the big gold polkas!
Beautiful and I’m a fan of polka dots too.
