WOW long time between posts! Made this awhile ago for a girlfriend who treated me to a fantastic birthday. She just loves elephants, so bought this stamp set just to make her this card.
Supplies:- Bazzill Cardstock, Scrap pattern paper (old), Spellbinders Label 1 dies, Humphrey's Corner stamp set byCrafter's Companion - UK

I made several of this style, in different colours for 5 co-workers. They were very happy with them. I am pretty sure I 'cased' this from Nicole Heady, when she was introducing the Wonderful Word additions and dies.
I made these for some ladies who came to a clothes party I had. I haven't had a lot of luck with holding parties over the years - usually no one turns up......so because they turned up I really wanted to let them know how much I appreciated it!
This was for one ladies husband, who made his famous noodle chicken for us to snack on! Oh yummy :)
I just loved making this card for my mother in law's birthday. I just can't believe I haven't used this set more often!!! This coming year is my year to break out all my Papertrey sets more often :)
A good friend lost her mother late last year and I made this card for her and her family. I found this verse years ago on the internet and use it often. I used Papertrey's "With Sympathy" for the floral background and then cut out lavender coloured tissue paper with the Beautiful Blooms dies and made the gorgeous flower. I then made a tag from "Tiny Tags die" and stamped with "Mixed Messages" - With Sympathy. Was so happy with the end result, simple, clean and very heartfelt.
Made this for a girlfriend's 50th (of course). Love this patterned paper. I used Papertrey's By the Numbers dies, and stamped with the Embellishment set in Papertrey Fresh Snow (white ink) on a strip of Spring Moss cardstock. I dry embossed the numbers with a Cuttlebug folder and I added some real Swarovski Crystals to add bling!
Back for 2012, sadly with a Sympathy card, but thanks to Papertrey's wonderful heartfelt "With Sympathy - Child"....I was able to make this very special card.
Made this for a great friend who, of course was turning 40! Don't know why but my 'mojo' was flowing freely and I put this whole card together within 15 minutes total.
It's never nice to have to make a Sympathy card, but I have started to make them a little brighter, hoping to lift the spirits of the receiver, if only a little.
Always a hard task.....making a sympathy card, but with the range of Papertrey stamps it isn't hard to put various ones together to make something beautiful.
I wondered what on earth I could do for a 50th Anniversary that was coming up, but once I got out all my supplies - especially my Papertrey stamps..............it all flowed and this was made :)
Papertrey's "Fly Away"...was thrilled how this card turned out and so was the little boy who received it. Love how his name was short enough to fit in the banner. All Papertrey goodness here :)
