PTI March Blog Hop




This month's PTI Blog Hop challenge is to gleam inspiration from the above photo and use it to create a project!

I am over-the-moon about this challenge as I absolutely LOVE a beautiful, bright, cheerful yellow! It's my all-time favorite color and has been since I was a kid. I LOVE it!

For this challenge I decided to include some aqua color. I had previously made a zipper tag (here), and decided to make a modified version of it to include some cash for my niece's birthday gift.


I covered a portion of my sentiment with tape so that I could stamp one word over the other. This is one of my favorite stamping tricks - except - when I forget to pull the tape off before stamping! Nothing like a pretty stamped word with a colorful inky blob right next to it. :) So, instead of scrapping the whole thing, I decided to stamp on a die cut and hide the evidence!

To make space for the cash, I was careful to place the scor-tape around the perimeter of the tag and made sure I left it open where the "zipper" portion zips off.


Her birthday celebration is today, so hopefully the theory behind the design plays well with reality! :)

Supplies (all PTI unless noted):
Stamps: Beautiful Butterflies, Polka Dot Basics II, Think Big Favorites #12, Button Boutique, Movers & Shakers Sentiments
Ink: Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Dandelion (Memento)
Dies: Beautiful Butterflies, Movers & Shakers Zippers, Happy Day
Card Stock: Stampers Select White
Other: Stickles (Ranger), Scor-Tape

Thanks ever so much for stopping by today!
