February Papertrey Ink Blog Hop...

ETA: GEE WIZZ!! It WASN'T meant to be!! I missed the hop!! Time difference! Have to laugh!!!

Welcome "night owl" hoppers! This will be brief--promise! It's the card and post that almost wasn't, but after all my frustration with it...it SHALL be posted!!

The challenge was to make an interactive card. Mine was made the old fashioned way--didn't get any of the new bells and whistles from PTI in time, so I came across a tutorial for a similar design and thought I would work up this pull-out card. Here it is together...

and here is the pull out message...

You can probably see one of my frustrations in that photo...my last step, the sentiment, didn't stamp completely and I had to try to fix it...NOT happy!! I apologize for the photos, also. It has been a long time since I have had to take a photo inside and at night...pitiful!!

I appreciate your visit. Forgot about the blog hop and really didn't plan on participating...wish I could have been earlier and a little more creative! I think this is somewhat of an old design. Went back to search for the tutorial I watched to include the link and couldn't find it. The card is almost 100% PTI products...if you see anything you don't recognize, give me a holler!!

  1. Okay, I can't see the flub with your sentiment, even when you point it out - so you're crazy. Also... this is *awesome*, even if it isn't a new idea! HELLO - did you see my lame entry?! I think this is a really neat idea, and you pulled it of PERFECTLY - it's meticulous and beautiful!

    Too bad you were too late to link up though :(

Perhaps it's now happening to you as well! ;o)

  3. Sorry you didn't make the deadline cause this is just gorgeous! Beautiful soft colors on those flowers and I never tire of seeing these flower pot cards. I don't think your sentiment looks bad at all, but I certainly have been there before. Everything completed, stamp and ARGGGHHH one letter is half stamped. Talk about your creative mood killer. LOL So glad you shared this with us Geri! Hugs!

  4. This old design is always appreciated by those that receive it. I think this card is gorgeous with all those pretty pattern flowers. I like the doily added to this. And maybe you see something wrong with the sentiment but it is just fine with these old eyes. Sometimes the image does not stamp 'crisp'. But we are not machines and it gives it a vintage look.

  6. Been off-line for two days, and was delighted to be able to visit you again and see such a beautiful card! I just LOVE it. I really like the doily, and the sewing is a really special touch. The flowers are soooo beautiful, and I love the button centers. This would make a great Mother's Day card.
