Hey friends! Happy weekend! What are ya doing? I'm having a super busy weekend (spending part of it at work boo) and I'm so excited to be hopping along today in the Papertrey Ink Customer Blog Hop for January! The theme for this month is "hearts" and that is right up my alley at the moment. I really enjoy making Valentine projects - they are so happy and feminine. When I saw the theme for the blog hop I got out one of my most favorite PTI stamp sets of all time - With all my Heart. Man, I love this stamp set. So, it's funny with this one, because I made the glassine bag envelope first! Then I made the card to go inside! I flipped the colors of the hearts and flowers to make it match.
First up, here's my card - kept it flat and clean/simple to go inside the envelope. I chose my colors to be red, pink, cream and kraft. Kind of vintage...
And here is the glassine bag envelope with the card inside! I folded the top of the bag over and wrapped it with kraft polka dot ribbon. Then I totally went to town adding decorations, stamps, and paper! I love the doily in kraft paper!!
Here is the challenge inspiration graphic....Hearts!
I cannot wait to see what everyone else made! So many ideas!
Can you see why I love this stamp set? The hearts, the leaves, and the flowers are all different stamps so you can mix and match the colors easily. For the card I made the heart red and for the envelope I made the heart pink. LOVE. I used an edger die to make the bottom of my cream layer. All the supplies for this post are from Papertrey Ink.
I found some pretty pink/cream gingham paper in my stash. Love it with the heart...I stamped my sentiment in rich red ink. I layered another bunch of pink flowers on top of the stamped ones - to add a pop of dimension.
This card finishes up relatively flat - so it would fit into the envelope. This could also be a good card to mass produce for mailing in a regular envelope. The color possibilities are endless!
Back to the envelope...can't decide which I like best...the card or the envelope! LOL. I really like to use these glassine bags. They are such a pretty and cool canvas to make any sort of treat. For this I just dumped out all my PTI dies on my table and picked out things that spoke to me.
Here you can see how that nice edge on the card shows through at the bottom of the bag. I did that on purpose to have a pretty compliment to the outside!
So that's it for my PTI Customer Blog Hop entry! I'm going to head off now and see what all the other crafty ladies made! You have all day to enter yours too...why don't ya? It's really such a fun event. Have a great day and a blessed week ahead. Until we meet again... XOXO
I love it! I love how you used the glasine bag as part of your card. Where did you find the craft doily, and was it a PTI die?
