Make It Monday #59: Computer Generated Sentiments on Die Cuts

PTI's Make It Monday challenge this week is to generate sentiments with your computer.  I thought it would be fun to make shipping labels to jazz up packages a bit.  Would love to make Christmas themed labels for shipping holiday packages.

Make It Monday #58: Graduated Backgrounds - Take 2

Here's my second take on PTI's Make It Monday challenge with graduated backgrounds.  I just got Beautiful Butterflies (love it!) and took my cue on how to layout the butterflies from a card by Jessica Witty.   That card is the one that pushed me over the edge to buy the set.

Make It Monday #56: Die Cutting Partial Images

I should start titling these posts "Make It Sunday" since I always seem to a do a last-minute project on Sunday.  This week's PTI Make It Monday challenge is to use your dies but only cut part of the shape.  Here's my take:

I discovered that this technique doesn't work so well with full-bleed images.  On the bottom portion of the card, you can see that the patterned eggs actually stamp beyond the edge of the die cut.  Oh well.  This card is a tri-fold, so the panel with the eggs folds down.
