Make it Monday #27 - Custom Copic Striped Ribbon

Hello!!

This is my second post for the day, so if you are looking for the Paper Playtime post, go HERE, or scroll down to the post just below this one :).  I wanted to participate in this week's Make it Monday challenge from Papertrey Ink, which is to create your own striped ribbon using copic markers.  I don't know if I LOVE this technique, although I see the value when you want a coordinating custom ribbon....
Here is what I came up with.

Hope you enjoy!!  Please leave a comment.  I love to hear from you!

Make it Monday #23 - Creating Pockets with Edger Dies

Hello!

I am participating in this week's Make-it-Monday Challenge from Papertrey Ink!!  The challenge was to use edger dies to create pockets for use on a card or layout.  I actually don't own any of the edger dies yet (gasp!!)  however I made due with one of my border punches.  Dawn McVey was the challenge demo this week, and I seriously loved her layout and colour combination (she used a vibrant green, a more subdued green, and a beige print), that I simply HAD to be just like her and do something similar!  haha I used different colours, but a lot of scraplifting occurred (hehe).  You can see her original post on her blog, or by visiting the challenge link above.  Here is what I ended up with:

Cardstock: Aqua Mist, Hawaian Shores (Papertrey Ink)
Patterned Paper: 2009 Bitty Dots Basics (Papertrey Ink)
Stamps: Background Basics: Text Style, Embellishments (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Pool Party (Stampin' Up!), Jet Black (StazOn)
Die Cuts: Bracket Edger Punch, Double Crochet Lace Edger Punch (EK Success), Beautiful Butterflies (Sizzix)
Other: Material (Hobby Lobby),  Machine Stitching,  Decorative Pin (handmade)


Hope you enjoy!

Make It Monday #22 - Multi-Colour Stamping with Ink Refills

Hello!

I am participating in the Papertrey Ink Make-it-Monday Challenge this week (today is the last day!!...eek).  The challenge is to create your own 'ink pad' of sorts using re-inkers to stamp a single image in multiple colours...a multi-coloured single image?  Something like that...hahaha.  Anywhoo, here is what I came up with.  I used two different images from the Papertrey Ink Round & Round Anniversary Set (so fun).  I really like how this technique works, however had difficulty with it simply because I don't have a lot of stamps to choose from that have a need for multiple colours!!  Most of the sets I have (and I have FAR too many) are either single image or multi-step stamping...perhaps I need to invest in this area?? :)

Here are my cards!

Cardstock: Dark Chocolate, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink), Crushed Curry (Stampin' Up!), Vellum (?)
Stamps: Round & Round, Background Basics Text Style (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: True Black, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Dark Chocolate (Papertrey Ink), Crushed Curry (Stampin' Up!), Jet Black (Staz On)
Die Cuts: Mat Stack 1 (Papertrey Ink), 1 3/4" Circle Punch (Paper Shapers)
Other: iRock Gems (Imaginisce), White Satin Ribbon

Hope you enjoy!!
