But it's that time of year over at PTI and the Christmas stuff just rocks so of course I had to play along. It is a color challenge and here it the one I chose.<br />
<br />
<br />

I need to knit this hat for Summer.<br />
<br />
Anyway the colors worked up great into this fun gift card holder. All PTI including most of the paper. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

<br />
<br />
It's the 25th and it has been months since I joined in the fun with Papertrey Ink and the blog hop. I love the photo that was published for inspiration. How could I pass up this.<br />

Make it glossy, shiny and more. <br />
<br />
<br />
This challenge was a bit much for me and yet I do own embossing powder and a heat gun so it shouldn't be that hard. It was still tough but here is my jumbo birthday tag which I know I can put to good use. I "high glossed" the balloons. As usual the stamps, ink and die cuts come from PTI.<br />

It's the PTI challenge day and I made a few spring cards but this is one that I made last night. Now normally it is bright and sunny here and I have seeds in the ground but today is a perfectly gray day so my photos are great but my card is "spring like" which is what the challenge was all about. The bunnies, clouds, flowers, sentiment, and heart dies are all PTI. The inspiration and my card:<br />

Sure do love your products and the anniversary celebration. This year Nicole is offering up free downloads each month and so I did download. Just need a 3 ring binder now as there were 5 pages with 8 different color combos and 7 sketches for your card making. Here is the first card I made for the challenge. I have two more and will do more posts soon.<br />
<br />
Of course you need to use PTI product so I used PTI inks, dies and stamps for the flowers and the sentiment.<br />

PTI ChallengeUsually I don't use pink a lot in my card making and scrapping but I do love pink. Let just face it I love color. So when the PTI challenge was announced for this month I was on board. The challenge use pink with just a few neutrals if you must. A great excuse to make a Valentine or a Wedding card. Here is the inspiration photo:<br />

It has been way to long since I have played along with the MIM Papertrey Ink challenge so it was fun to get back to it this year. The challenge was a "angle" challenge and though I found the card not as cute as I wanted I loved the technique. I did another angle card but it is a diagonal card instead and I really like it. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This little card was following the sketch for the Summertime Online Card class. I love the layered lollipop so it was easy to decide on what to do for the circles. I used some different pattern papers, a few buttons and then of course some twine. Thought I would use some of the new solid twine with a bit of washi tape.<br />

Six, yes 6 different choices for the color challenge makes me crazy. I had a hard time making one card. Oh the decisions. In fact I made one card first and hated it and then this little project came to mind today the day of the hop. I had a very sweet friend drop off some delicious, gooey, fudgy BROWNIES last Sunday night. So I am dropping off this little thank you. The polka dot bags are found in my shop and starting next week I will be tying off that bag with SOLID TWINE. Can't wait for that to come in. The cheery tomatoes are from my garden. I am picking about dozen a day and they are soooooooo good. I have missed home grown tomatoes for to long. I think the jar stamp is the best stamp and it is one of my PTI favorites. The background paper is Canyon Clay. Here is the final color choice.<br />

In case this is the first you are seeing it the code is washifan and it ends Saturday. Just another way to use that washi tape. Dress up your chocolate! This is a jar from a friend who brought back some Giradelli's from San Fran. YUMMY but I was looking for something to cover and saw the great navy blue label and knew I had the perfect washi tape for the jar lid. Added a bit of tape to the tag and yummy looks pretty now.<br />

Next is my PTI weekly challenge project. Paper piecing with Melissa, check out here video here <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/">http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/</a>. I struggled to find the right stamp and then I had some beachy paper scraps sitting on my desk so here is my card. Again there is some washi tap here and I just love blue and orange together. The pattern paper, die cuts, and Wish Big stamp are all PTI. Thanks for dropping by.<br />

These are a couple of my current candles from Bath and Body Works. These are perfectly round and clear so I "dressed" them up with a bit of washi tape. <br />

So lets get to the good stuff. psssssssssssssst here is a code for a discount on washi tape good through Saturday the 25th on all washi tape in the shop. 30% off. The code is washifan. So try out the code. I have never done one before like this.<br />
<br />
Now for my card. The challenge was to add texture to your stamping with a comb. I did up a birthday card and yes it has washi tape on it and yes I used my new favorite birthday stamp. <br />
<br />
Next week more washi projects!<br />

It's PTI Blog hop day. I love visiting as many of the blogs on the first day as I can. There is so much inspiration out there. This months challenge is to "tilt". The world has been on a tilt lately so I am happy for a pretty tilt. Here is the photo posted for inspiration and then my take on the<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
challenge.<br />

And mine....yes that is washi tape there that the gorgeous sunflowers are sitting on. Super easy and fun to use. The twine is the next Red Shimmer.<br />

Think layers, layers, layers but only with your stamps. I loved Dawn's challenge today and had a great time creating this card for Mother's Day. Non traditional colors here but I am very happy with the results.

Welcome to day 2 of Little Prince Blog Hop. I hope you enjoyed your day yesterday looking through all of the blogs. My name is Jodi and I am the owner of Talking Twine and Trim @ etsy found here:<a href="mailto:talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com">talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com</a> It is a bakers twine shop with some fun new items such as pattern paper straws, seam binding, cupcake boxes, cookie bags and washi tape. Recently I did a 1 day outdoor boutique and I had questions about what can you do with all of the bright, fun colorful stuff. So today I am going to share a few ideas that would also work with the little guys in your life. </div>

It's a fun little party favor. I took a mix of paper straws in boy colors and started with a full length straw and just kept cutting them down by a 1/2 inch. Then I took 2 lengths of washi tape and taped them together. Kids could make there own they are so easy! With that said these little straw pipes don't make noise so they are a mothers dream but a little guy to sing/hum his tune and then they do make music.</div>

This is one of my favorite techniques and I was happy to see Heather use it. I am trying to use up the scraps here at my house so this "book paper" was lying there and I love the fruit fusion stamps so here is the apple as a background paper.Jodi_Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17178054437772756388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238657920336355763.post-17950049263165309302013-03-18T17:15:00.001-07:002013-03-18T17:15:19.348-07:00It's Day One of Pattern Play Online ClassI started up the first class from Online Card Classes Pattern play. I have taken a college class here and there online but this one was a lot more fun. Today I made two cards and here is the first one. It was to use 3 different pieces of pattern paper. I decided to take some of the paper that really have challenged me and here it is.<br />

I am loving the cloudy day today except when I pulled out the camera. ARHHHHHG. I am so spoiled living in the Valley of the Sun when it comes to photos. Anyway these are not the greatest of photos but the cards for challenges are done and I want them to go up. First up is the PTI MIM challenge. This challenge is to stamp something in "two colors" ink. I was not suprised to see so many of the gals pull out this "funky flowers" set from PTI as the stamp just seemed like a natural in doing this technique. I used Lavender Moon and Melon Berry ink along with some Winter Wisteria paper also PTI product.<br />

Next up is the Play Date Cafe with their weekly color challenge. I am so happy to have found this place as I love color challenges and this one really made me think outside the box. Just a simple card that I plan to put to use tomorrow or Monday just because I can. The colors to be used are Spring Bud, Azure, and Hollyhock. The stamped image is a PTI image and die. The seam binding is from my shop of course.Jodi_Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17178054437772756388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238657920336355763.post-3110897663385268082013-03-05T10:16:00.001-08:002013-03-05T10:16:21.971-08:00The Play Date Cafe my first<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I happened upon the Play Date Cafe Blog to find myself another color challenge and fell in love with the colors. A fun, NO PRESSURE blog. I think I will be over there more. This weeks challenge Apricot, Mint, and Tangerine. Here is my take using October Afternoon's Cakewalk and twine from my shop.Jodi_Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17178054437772756388noreply@blogger.com1
