The last of my Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day!  I made these two cards for a couple coworkers who are obsessed with coffee.  I actually found this stamp set at Christmas time so I could incorporate coffee into the projects I made for them then.  I got it at Michaels, it's called Coffee Cafe by TPC Studio.  

For this card I used PP from PTI Simple Valentine, along with Sweet Blush and Kraft.  The raffia is from Target.

On this card I used more of the Simple Valentine PP with Pure Poppy.  The ribbon and buttons are also from PTI.  I love this sentiment "You're the cream in my coffee."  So cute!

Have a wonderful day!

PTI Challenge: DT Colors, Melissa

**Note: There are 3 posts today for the Papertrey Ink contest.  Details can be found at Nichole's blog.

Here is the last card I was able to make tonight.  It uses Melissa's color palette.

The colors actually turned out pretty good in this one, but those three buttons look like they are floating off the page!  Weird!!  Anyway, I'm excited to try all the other DT Favorites someday, but for tonight, this is it!  I need some sleep.

Thanks for checking them out!

PTI Challenge: DT Colors, Dawn

Dawn's favorite color palette and my card.

I promise all the colors are there!  I don't have any good lighting for pictures at 9:30 PM!  The card base is Hibiscus Burst, the Ribbon and button are Raspberry Fizz, the flower is Summer Sunrise, and the sentiment and backing on the punched edge is Dark Chocolate.

PTI Challenge: "Paint" by Number

Since my creative juices were a little low today after all my crafting over the weekend, I enjoyed being "told" what to do for my card today!  This is what I made following the directions over at Nichole's blog.  

The colors aren't what I would typically put together and I don't know that I have ever used 5 different colors on a card, but I like them and think they make a good gender neutral card.  This will make a great card for my stash.

Thanks for looking!

I love square cards but don't make them very often.  I really like the way the patterns and colors came together in this one.
