My New Year's Resolution: A few new cards...

My New Year's Resolution is to revamp my website: www.designsbykathie.com with all new samples since I changed from using exclusively Stampin' Up stamps and supplies to exclusively using Papertrey Ink stamps and supplies.  My short term goal is to make 5 cards from each category on my website with my new vendor.  I sat down the weekend after we moved into the new house with my sketch binder and paged through the whole thing till I found a few sketches I liked.  I then went through my PTI Color combo collection to find what colors I'd like to work with and then went card crazy.. Here's what I made:

This can be a Birth Announcement, a Baby Shower Invite or a card to the Mom-To-Be

I used PTI Spring Rain, Enchanted Evening, Vintage Cream, and Stamper's Select White for cardstock. I stamped the images in PTI Spring Rain and Enchanted Evening. Ribbon is SU''s Very Vanilla (trying to use that up and not be wasteful of great grosgrain ribbon), Button is from PTI's Vintage Button Mix.  I also used the Limitless Labels 1 3/4" die collection.  The glitter is Martha Stewart fine glitter in Sugar Cube. The stamps come from Hero Arts It's a Boy Clear Stamp set.

This is a girl version of the above card and can be a Birth Announcement, a Baby Shower Invite or a card to the Mom-To-Be

I used PTI Sweet Blush, Autumn Rose, Vintage Cream, and Stamper's Select White for cardstock. I stamped the images in PTI Sweet Blush and Amuse Studio's Currant. Ribbon is SU''s Very Vanilla (trying to use that up and not be wasteful of great grosgrain ribbon), Button is from PTI's Vintage Button Mix.  I also used the Limitless Labels 1 3/4" die collection.  The gillter is Martha Stewart fine glitter in Sugar Cube. The stamps come from Hero Arts It's a Girl Clear Stamp set.

This is an everyday Thank You card that I chose a different sketch for.  I started off with the color combo of PTI Scarlet Jewel, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado and Stamper's Select White for the base.  I used Bitty Dot Basics Patterned paper in Ripe Avocado and Simple Chartreuse.  I stamped the images in PTI Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, Scarlet Jewel and Raspberry Fizz.  I inked the edges of the Nestibility Circles in PTI's Tea Stain Duo and used foam dimensionals to make them pop above the paper.

More to come hopefully this weekend.  I hope you enjoyed looking.  Thanks for stopping by!
