Today is the monthly blog hop at Papertrey Ink. I couldn’t participate last month since we were in Oregon, so I really wanted to play along today. Here’s the challenge:
Papertrey Ink is frequently right on top of trends, and tilted is definitely one I’ve seen around the internet for the last couple of months. I managed to get two cards completed for today’s blog hop. The first one was a get well card for a dear friend who had eye surgery on Monday. She is required to keep her head face down forty-five minutes of every hour for at least a week, and most likely two weeks. She has a special chair, but to say it’s uncomfortable is to put it mildly. Fortunately she isn’t in any pain.
I haven’t place a PTI order in awhile, but I did this month and ordered “Rosie Posie Step 2” stamps for the “Rosie Posie” set. I’ve always loved “Rosie Posie,” and the second stamping brings the flowers alive. The patterned paper is an old one from my scrapbook stash: Basic Stripe by Reminisce, and the sentiment is from “Communique Sentiments.” I colored the pearls with a Copic marker. Here’s a closer look at the flowers.
Last night after dinner, I tried used another of my new purchases, the “Wonderful Words: Birthday” die. I cut thin strips of Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores, and Raspberry Fizz, and layered them diagonally on Select White cardstock. “Birthday” was cut from True Black and the Happy is stamped from “Birthday Bash Sentiments.” The pearls are from Michaels.
You’re sure to find lots of inspiration for beautiful cards here today. Edited to add a link to this week’s CASual Friday challenge: Birthday Bash!
Lovely cards! I especially love the black stripes behind the rosie posie blooms on the first card– it’s very striking!
I love both cards! The striking black stripes and the rainbow stripes are pretty!
I really love the first one,Karen….the coloured flowers look beautiful….and the tilted stripes work so well.
You have made two beautiful cards. I really love both of them.
I love them both, but that last card really floats my boat–I’ll be sure to give you credit when I copy it!
awesome as usual. if I ever get serious about card-making, I’ll just come back to your blog and pin everything!
Soooo pretty! Love both cards!
I wouldn’t have thought tilted would work with your style, but you definitely did great! I especially like the first one.

Beautiful cards! LOve both of them. – Irma
Beautiful cards!
Both are just divine Karen, particularly Rosie Posie, so striking against the black stripe. But I do love the simplicity of the second, great child or male card.
Both of your cards are beautiful. I LOVE the Rosie Posie. Your bright colors against the black paper are stunning!!
WOW!! Such BEAUTIFUL Cards!! I LOVE your takes on the Tilted Challenge!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
Two really great cards. I especially like the first one–those stripes are so dramatic.
The contrast between the white backgrounds and the splashes of vibrant colour are fantastic Karen!
Love the way the colors stand out against that black and white striped paper! Absolutely gorgeous!
Both of your cards are very pretty. Love the vibrant colors.
Both of your cards are absolutely wonderful!!! Love all the color!!
Terrific takes on the challenge – I really love the flowers against the b&w stripes!
Both cards are awesome! The Rosie Posies pop on the black striped background, and the rainbow card is crisp and clean. Great job!
