Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

Hiya!

I finally got the chance to play along with PTI's Blog Hop - hooray!

This month's blog hop challenge involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust!

I used both types  my oldest PTI set (Home Made) that I haven't used in ages, and a set I got at CHA that has not seen ink yet (shocking!) - Everyday Button Bits. I made a little house ensemble with some magnets to put in it for a house warming gift:

This is the front of the house and here is the back:

Here is the completed ensemble:

 and a close up of two of the magnets:

I'd love to stay and chat (and give more details!) but my Mum and husband are waiting impatiently to get to a movie so I must run... will try to stop back later to give some more details!

edited to say - back from the movie now! Here's a few more deets: I used a combination of Aqua Mist/Scarlet Jewell colour combo. All the elements of the house (apart from the curtains) were stamped in brown and the curtains were stamped with a retired blue. I cut out all the elements and added shading with yellow copics in the windows. The door was also coloured with copics. I used some PTI mat stack dies to create the magnet shapes, as well as the limitless labels dies. A combination of buttons finished these off! The sentiments on the magnets were stamped on strips of Kraft cardstock and then I trimmed the edges into a 'v'. The magnets were a bargain that I picked up at a local supermarket (20p for 4!) - I just glued them to the back of the finished pieces of card with a hot glue gun.

Thanks for stopping by!
