Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

This is my first ever blog hop!
 My favourite project has to be the card I made using a die-cut frame. The friend I sent the card to loved it which makes it even more special.

That got me thinking and the most exciting thing I learned from Papertrey Ink last year was to use negative die-cuts. My son has a friend's birthday party coming up so I pulled out big birthday wishes stamp set (stamped with Jenni Bowlin spice tin) and by the numbers dies. I love the new leaf and enchanted evening colour combination for the cardstock. Some button twine was added and 3 stars as finishing touches. I'm really happy with the result.

I'll be blog hopping today to see all the yummy PTI goodies put to use. I'm so glad I've found Papertrey Ink as the products are fantastic quality and the the inspiration is awesome.

    Very nice cards. I like the idea of using negative cut-outs and should apply that to what I make sometime.

    Negative die cuts are the best! (As long as you don't throw away the inside pieces. Not that I would know, lol!) Great job using them on both cards!

    I really love both of your cards. What a great reminder to me of the stunning impact of negative die cuts. (I wish there was a better name--negative sound so--negative!) Fabby cards.
