Birthday balloons

Just received an order from Papertrey Ink which included the Up, Up and Away stamp set and had to create something with it.  I cased a card on Nichole's blog for this layout.

The balloon is paper pieced and I cut out the clouds from felt.  I can see this set getting a lot of use!

Supplies
Paper - PTI stampers select white, SU riding hood red, baja breeze, bella rose designer paper
Stamps - PTI up, up and away
Ink - Memento tuxedo black, PTI tea dye duo
Accessories - PTI canvas/linen impression plate, PTI cloud & balloon dies, PTI vintage cream felt, SU real red & chocolate chip stampin' write markers, sewing machine, foam mounting tape, glue dots

PTI May blog hop

Hi and thanks for peeking.  The challenge this month was to use felt and I've made 2 cards.
 
The first uses some layered flowers I cut with my Cricut. I used the deep cut blade and stabilised the felt with heat 'n bond first. I hand stitched around the edges of the flowers to give them some definition and the leaves come from YOF violets:

The second card is a congratulations card for a friend who just bought a new house.  I designed the house using SCAL (super easy - just weld a square, triangle and rectangle together).  Used a strip of paper from the Green Boutique pad and scor-tape to create the glitter strip.

Butterfly thinking of you

Supplies

Scraptastic button bits

Thought I'd try out a card with blooming button bits and my new tiny tags epoxy stickers instead of buttons. This will work well for mailing I think. I cut the small circles with my cricut and the George cartridge. Another card made using scraps - my stash is slowly being reduced!

Paper - SU baja breeze, riding hood red, bella rose designer paper, PTI stamper's select white, Core'dinations chocolate box collection

Asian fusion

Here is a simple card using two of the images from PTI's asian fusion.  I like the combination of  kraft with the black white and red.  The white border is stamped with versamark and then embossed using white powder as I don't have a white ink!

Supplies
Paper - SU kraft
Stamps - PTI asian fusion
Ink - Memento black, SU riding hood red, versamark
Accessories - white embossing powder
