Glitter Me Silly

Well, I am definnitely starting to get that Christmassey feeling what with the upcoming Papertrey Ink release (swoon) and the general change in the weather around here.  I have realised that I better get my skates on if I’m going to get all the cards made for Christmas that I need to!  As a start here is a little card and gift box set I made a few weeks ago for the Passion For Papertrey blog – totally forgot to share it at the time – oops!

I used a Sizzix Bigz XL die for the box and made my focal point for the card out of the little pop-out from the front/  I used Peaceful Poinsettias stamp set and Pure Poppy cardstock and ink.  The image on the box is stamped in Versamark and then embossed in white. 

Ok, better get organised – got a busy day ahead!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Well, this was supposed to be a scheduled post for last Monday but something went wrong and it didn’t post.  I am only just remembering to do it now – shame on me!!  This card is my sample (as the featured stamper) for the current challenge at Passion for Papetrey which is to use polka dots.  I was so happy to see this challenge – I LOVE dots and so whipped out my old cuttlebug embossing folder which hasn’t seen daylight in a while!  I also used the kraft coloured paper from the Dotty Biscotti collection – EVERYTHING is Papertrey Ink of course.

I also just wanted to say to Kate and Aimes  it has been an honour being a part of your challenge blog an I’m SOO looking forward to getting together again in October.

Hae a great day everyone,

I am sharing this card today to join in the appreciation thread going on over on the forum at Papertrey Ink.  This is a wee card to say to Nichole, the DT, the admin peeps and anyone else involved in making the whole PTI machine work that they are so appreciated and loved by so many customers worldwide.  I am also thankful to all the other forum members who have reminded me about where my priorities lie and that anniversary set or no anniversary set – PTI rocks 110%.  I have winged and whined a little bit about not getting mine but I have realised that it really doesn’t matter how long it takes, or even if it never comes – I buy the products be I like them – full stop!!  Thanks EVERYONE!
