Stampin' Fun Friday (Papertrey Ink Friendship Jar & Fillers Card) + GIVEAWAY

Welcome into day 5 of Blog Reader Appreciation Week!

Today I have a friendly little PTI Friendship Jar & Fillers Card to share with you.

The inspiration was this print I saw on Etsy (there are actually tons of different ones available HERE.)

I loved how the text peeks through the colorful image. 

I didn't have any vintage text paper, so I improvised and made my own. 

A close up of how cool it looks with the text print all over the card. Consider using vintage book pages as a background if you have some! 

That Friend Definition Cling Stamp from Hero Arts gets a real workout in my craft studio. I can't even count how many times I use it!

Lately I have been wanting to finish off the inside of my cards just to give them a little extra somethin' somethin'.

I stamped the same florals inside the card using the Hero Arts Soft Brown Shadow Ink. I find the shadow inks work perfectly for things like this. Very soft and doesn't compete with either your hand written sentiment and/or stamped greeting.

Here's how:

SUPPLIES:

PAPER: Daffodil Notecards by Hero Arts; Neenah Solar White Cardstock

STAMPS: Friendship Jar Stamp Set by PTI; Friendship Jar Fillers by PTI; Signature Greetings by PTI; Friend Definition Cling Background Stamp by Hero Arts

INKS: Antique Linen Tim Holtz Distress Ink; Vintage Photo Tim Holtz Distress Ink; Soft Pool Shadow Ink by Hero Arts; Soft Brown Shadow Ink by Hero Arts; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Soft Suede Ink by Stampin' Up

Copic Markers: 

EMBELLISHMENTS: Button by Stampin' Up; Simply Chartreuse PTI Satin Ribbon

TOOLS: Big Shot Die Cutting Machine by Sizzix; PTI Dies to Match Jar Label; Tiny Attacher by Tim Holtz; Tim Holtz Paper Distresser; Ranger Inkssentials Ink Blending Applicator
