I was so excited when Paper Trey Ink announced that they were going to be making their own printed paper. I just love all the projects that Nichole makes, and everything is perfectly coordinated, and she makes it all look so easy, but, it just doesn't come as naturally for me. So, it was a given that I'd buy that paper.
I picked up the Out on a Limb set when it launched, and I've had it tucked away for about a month as I've been so crazy busy lately. When my most recent PTI order arrived, I promised myself I'd dig in and get stamping. I'm so glad I did.
For this project, I used the Paper Trey Stampers Select white cardstock, as well as the Perfect Match Cardstock and Ink and Everyday Blessings Designer Paper and let me just say WOW! Everything inked up just SO nicely and I really enjoyed making these cards.
The only thing I used on these cards that isn't from Paper Trey is my my Pearlescent Chocolate ink from Brilliance.
I definitely fought the urge to pull out the sewing machine, or scallop punch anything. I wanted to add ribbon somewhere, but fought that urge off too. I hope that this reads as clean to you, not lazy or lame!
By keeping the design fairly straightforward, I was able to crank out several of these in a very short period of time.
Have a great day everyone!

Nothing lazy or lame about these. They are gorgeous! I think simple is best sometimes. Especially with PTI images.
This card is gorgeous. I love it, I can not wait to get some goodies from PTI but I am on a diet. YOu know the one where you can't buy any stamping supplies because Easter is coming and moms birthday is coming and the stamp festival is coming. Save, Save, Save! Have a stamp happy day! Stacy

Joanne, I'm in love with my new PTI 'stuff' also, and I love the cards you have posted here using the pattern papers and the 'Out on a Limb' stamp set...the colors work so well together, especially with that stamp set...this is a great card that could be used for either a man or a woman....how neat is that! I may just have to 'case' this one....you are always giving us such terrific inspiration. Thanks, Barb g
