Anything Goes @ PTT!

I've had so much fun being a Party Planner the last six months, but sadly my term on the PTT  design team has come to an end. Before I go, I have one more challenge to share with you and - Anything Goes! Our sponsor this week is Paper Pretties. Here is my card...

 

 

 

Thank you to the talented Design Team at PTT and to Jenn the owner. It's been great working with you and seeing your fabulous projects!

 

Don't forget stop by and enter this week's challenge. Remember Anything Goes!

 

 

 

Just Swinging By...

It's an Anything Goes challenge at Party Time Tuesdays. So I thought I'd swing by with my card...

 

Isn't this the cutest image? It's a digi image by Hambo Stamps called Monkey Vine. I colored the image for a Hambo Hoedown challenge to use punches, but didn't have time to make it into a card. I decided to finish it for PTT's Anything Goes challenge. I'm just in a monkey kinda mood lately. If you missed my monkey themed altered cigar box, check here.

Hop over to PTT's challenge blog and get some more inspiration from the other members of the design team. Then join in the challenge...anything goes! 

Needle Little Love

It's color/photo challenge week at Party Time Tuesday's Challenge Blog. Here are the colors...

Here is my card...

 

I love this Paper Smooches set called Needle Little Love. It includes lots of stamps that can be used in so many different ways. I love the stamps that look like stitching. It also has some stamps that are perfect for paper piecing like the sewing machine. Did you notice that I wrapped the spool with real thread! I love how it turned out.

So hop on over to PTT and join the challenge. It's fun and you might win a prize.

Wild About You!

 I've vowed to use some of my older stamp sets that haven't seen the light of day in awhile, so I pulled out Wild About You by Stampin'Up to make a card for this week's challenge at Party Time Tuesdays. The challenge is to make a shaped card...any shape, just not a square or a rectangle. Here's my card...

I cut the corners of an A2 sized cardbase to make it look like a tent top and added a striped awning. The background was made by repeatedly stamping the sentiment. I added some paper piercing around the elephant and up the elephant's ear. This will be a perfect card for one of my granddaughter's.

Hop on over to PTT  Challenge Blog and join the fun. Show us your shape!!

Happy Mother's Day

The Party Time Tuesdays challenge this week is to make a Mother's Day card. I used a cute turtle family digi image from Whimsy Doodles with some sparkly spring time paper from SEI and a rhinestone button from Miriam's Crafting Supplies.

 

 

 

I hope that all of the moms that I know get to spend sometime with their families on Sunday. Don't forget to give them hugs and kisses and tell thaem how much you love them!

PTT Challenge

It's Anything Goes on the Party Time Tuesdays Challenge blog.  This week the design team used some cute images from our sponsor  Stamp Fairy. I used adorable Spring Barry to make my card...

 

I love this little bear image. He's perfect for cheering up a friend or just to say "Hello".

 

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Party Planners created. Then join in the fun. Anything goes!!

Tic Tac Toe...

Three in a row! That's the challenge at Party Time Tuesdays this week. Here's the Tic Tac Toe card...

 

 

I used the items down the middle. Here's my card using rhinestones and black pearls on the front ...

 

 

 and twine inside!

 

 

The image, Brew Your Coffee,  is from Paper Pretties. I used stickers from SRM to decorate the front. Inside I used a sticker and a small glassine bag also from SRM to make a holder for the gift card, from Starbucks, of course!

Color/Photo Challenge

It's time for the April Color/Photo Challenge over on Party Time Tuesdays challenge blog. Here's the inspiration...

 

 

Here's my project...

I used the English Teacup image from one of our sponsors, Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps & More, to make a thank you card. I attached the sentiment with some twine to make it look like a teabag. Like my stitching? It's stickers from another one of this week's sponsors, SRM Stickers. Click here to check out projects by the rest of the DT and join in the fun.

Celebrate Spring!

Spring is here, we hope!  Time for sunny weather and no more snow! This week's challenge at Party Time Tuesdays is celebrating Spring with Ribbons & Blooms. Let's see your projects featuring beautiful ribbon AND flowers and blooms! Here's mine...  

 
My project uses a cute cat image from Kenny K. Isn't she sweet? I love her smile. Using stickers on a card was a first for me. These colorful border stickers from SRM made my card quick & easy. Now I'll add stickers to my crafting. Hop on over to PTT and play along with us for a chance to win some prizes from our sponsors, Kenny K Downloads, Sweet Shoppe Designs, and SRM Stickers. Celebrate Spring. Show us your ribbon & bloom projects.

Birthday Monsters

It's that time again at Party Time Tuesdays, ANYTHING GOES.  I stamp regularly with a group of wonderful, very talented ladies. About every other month we get together for a Shoebox Swap, a fun day of stamping, eating & laughing. I decided to use this challenge to design a card for a Shoebox Swap that I am participating in. The theme for the SBS is masculine cards, kids, teens, adult males. I made a monster birthday card for a little boy or a big boy!

 

 

Lots of wiggle eyes and paper piecing! I used Make a Monster by Stampin'Up. I pulled out my Canvas background stamp to add some texture. I really should use those background stamps more. The border punch is made by Martha Stewart. I'm not sure of the name of it. I call it the slime punch. This was a fun card to make and will be perfect for the next kid's card I need.

 

Hop on over to PTT and get some inspiration from the other Party Planners. Then show us some of your creations. Remember ANYTHING GOES!

PTT Color Challenge

Just in time for Spring, Party Time Tuesdays is having a color challenge with these pretty pastel colors

 

Here's my card using The Paper Nest Dolls digi image Easter Avery.

 

 

IRL this card has a lot of sparkle! The flowered background paper is glittery. The pink glitter card stock that I used for the image  mat and border are from The Robin's Nest along with the pretty pink and blue dew drops. Paper Nest Dolls and The Robin's Nest are sponsoring this weeks challenge. Be sure to check them out for some really cute images and crafting supplies.

Luck of the Irish

Party Time Tuesdays is celebrating with the GREEN this week. The challenge is to make cards and projects that reflect St. Patty's Day. What better way to celebrate than a chance to win some green...money! I made a twisted card that holds scratch off lottery tickets.

 I used a sentiment from the Cutting Cafe file called Lucky Me on the front and a $1 stamp from the craft store inside.   I love making twisted cards. If you missed my Christmas twisted card check here. If you would like to try one, you can find an excellent how-to video by Kelly Gettelginger here They're easy to make and perfect for holding small items such as gift cards, lottery tickets, money, pictures, etc. , .   I hope the recipient of my twisted card is lucky and wins some green!

Use those Die Cuts!

The challenge at Party Time Tuesdays this week is to use those dies cuts!! That's right, create a project with die cut shapes. The cute digi image I used is from The Paper Nest called Sewing Avery.

I used my Spellbinders die to make the mat for the image. I cut 3 squares all the same size with the die - 2 black & one from DSP. I glued the black shapes overlapping behind the DSP shape leaving enough to make a border. I think it looks kind of like it's been cut with pinking shears. Then I found some cute DSP with spools of thread and added a button and some colored twine.

Hop o over to PTT and see what the other Party Planners have created to inspire you. Join in the challenge and you might win some freebies from our sponsors - The Paper Nest, The Robin's Nest and Papelito's Stamps.

So for this week's Party Time Tuesdays Anything Goes Challenge,  I made  this card for my sweetie...

PTT Color Challenge

It's color challenge time at Party Time Tuesdays. Here's the color scheme for the challenge...

 

 

Here's my card...

 

  

For my design I used a digital image by one of PTT's sponsors, Eureka Stamps. The image is called Butterfly & Bluebonnet. I decided to color the image with my C1, 3, & 5 Copics to give the impression of a black and white photograph. Then I used the burgundy colors on the butterfly to give a pop of color. Come play with us at PTT and show us what you can design with these colors. You might win a prize!

 

Another way to be a winner is to join in PTT's 1000 Follower Give Away. Become a follower on Google, Network, Facebook,  and/or Twitter.

Happy Birthday PTT!

It's Party Time Tuesdays' 3rd birthday! To celebrate,  the challenge this week is to use the number three or three of something on your project. Here's my card...

I used the three cute bees and sentiment from the Bee Happy set by There She Goes Clear Stamps. TSGCS is one of the sponsors for the challenge this week. If you're not familiar with their stamps, hop on over and check them out...very cute stamps.

Happy Birthday PTT!

Love & Romance

It's time for Love & Romance over on Party Time Tuesdays challenge blog. I used The Digi Garden image Ursula's Big Heart to make my card for the challenge...

 

 

 

 

The paper piercing template came from Fred She Said and it fit's Stampin'Up's Top Note Die perfectly. Join the challenge and show us some love and romance.

Anything Goes @ Party Time Tuesdays

This week's challenge at Party Time Tuesdays is Anything Goes! I need a birthday card for a friend so I used this cute mouse and cheese stamp by Hambo Stamps to make this card...

 

 

I wanted the background to look like Swiss cheese, so I punched the card stock with different size hole punches. Then I sponged around the holes to give it some depth. The image, Say Cheese, is colored with Copics. I just love the sentiment, Cheese, Louise. I used another Hambo sentiment, Another Birthday? inside. It says "Another birthday? Didn't you just have one last year?"

 

I hope you'll join us over at PTT and share with us your Anything Goes creations.

Sparkle! Sparkle!

Party Time Tuesday's challenge this week is to create a project that sparkles, shimmers and/or shines. I reached for my glitter mat pack of paper and created this sparkly birthday card.

 

 

 

IRL this card is very sparkly. The DSP has glitter on it and the silver flower shape is punched from silver glitter cardstock. Even the ribbon has a irredescent shine to it. I stamped the Happy Birthday image in red and added a red bow for a pop of color.

 

Hop on over to PTT challenge and join us. Show us your sparkle, shimmer & shine.
