PTI Anniversary Stripe birthday card

Anniversary-blog-header

Hello everyone,

I'm back again with today's contribution to the ongoing Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities. Today Nichole asked us to make a project using stripes in some way, and I came up with this one :-



 I took a panel of aqua mist card and embossed it with the stripe impression plate. I then cut one of the Banner Border dies and stuck it to the aqua card before using one of the stitches dies at the top. I then stitched with jute twine before sticking the panel onto my base card. I added a strip of kraft card which I cut some banner ends into, and topped it with the Boutique Borders: Birthday stamp and die. I couple of little buttons and bows finished off a girly card destined for one of my neighbours next week.

I tell you that doing such a lot of PTI cards in a short space of time has highlighted my lack of organisation. I really need to label everything - especially the dies, because it has taken nearly as much time tracking down the name of the dies as it has writing these posts:( I feel some organisation time coming on!

I'm also going to enter his into Creative Card Crew - Keep it Simple and Sweet

and the 2 sisters challenge to use embossing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs

I hear you on the organizing my desk is a huge mess. This is sooo pretty and creative Carol. Love the way you stitched and topped the card with that die...simply elegant!

Oh, this is perfect. Love the design, and your execution is flawless. Every time I try to use that IP, it ends up crooked, and it is not such a forgiving plate--every bit of crookedness always shows. Great job.
