PaperTrey October Blog Hop Challenge

This is my second post for today. Please click here or scroll down for the Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week.


This is my first PaperTrey Blog Hop!  I have 4 cards to show you:

This is one of my favorite Chanukah cards - The dreidels are plastic charms and I used the swirl from Pond Life to give the spinning motion to the dreidels!  The sentiment is from PaperTrey Mazel Tov set.  I used Bitty Box Basics paper for part of the design.
For the next two cards I used PaperTrey Stampers Select, silver and the sparkly dark blue cardstock.  I stamped the images and sentiments with Versamark and embossed with silver ep.  On the card to the right I embossed Polka Dot Basics with silver ep.  Both card fronts are embossed with Cuttlebug Embossing Folders and I used Enchanted Evening ribbon on both cards.  I finished them off with a few blue rhinestones.


The card below is a clean and simple and quick card that is easily massed produced.  I stamped the dreidel with Enchanted Evening ink and cut it out and matted it with my Nestabilities.
















Thanks for coming by!
