PTI buttons + dies + floss= cute baby card

I've needed a few baby cards and actually sat down and made some.  I have really good intentions and buying abilities, but not as good at actually sitting down and finishing a project.  Since I don't have the Sweet Baby dies yet, I had to make use of the darling Tiny Tags and a project I've had floating around in my head for a while. 

I need a few boy ones, so hopefully there will be a follow up post soon.

PTI - Stamp-a-faire Challenge #10

I usually stalk view the PTI blogs regulary, but I guess didn't on Saturday so I missed most of the challenges that Nicole had posted.  Lucky for me I get another chance :)  The challenge is to add a stamped focal point over a stamped background, all in the same layer.  I wish I had more PTI background stamps (adding to ever growing wish list), but I used what I had and created this little fall card.

 

One of the Leaf Prints stamped in versamark on a kraft background with the tree and sentiments from Falling Leaves. 

May PTI Blog Hop

It's been a long time since I've posted anything.  Having a little one and moving because of a layoff and rehiring has taken away some of my card making time.  I always plan on playing along with the PTI blog hops and make it Monday, but it never seems to actually happen.  But, I have lots of cards planned in my head.  On to the hop. 

The hop is suppose to be focusing on May flowers.  I really was planning on using lots of flowers, but surprisingly, my design in my head didn't actually make it to the card :)  I'd been trying some rolled flowers using my new Paper Petal Roller by Imaginisce, and happened to set one down on a negative die cut of New Leaf, and loved it.  The sentiment is from Tag-its 3.

Here's the die I'd cut from the gray paper.  I decided that I need more Beautiful Blooms dies besides just number 3.  It just wasn't working last night.  I used Edgers #1 and it turned out great.  Can I tell you how much I love the PTI dies? 

Happy Hopping!!
