Gingerbread guys

Happy eve of Christmas Eve! So have you got everything done? Cards sent, presents bought and wrapped, baking done so you can put your feet up and relax for the next few days??!!! I most definitely haven't lol!

Here's a bunch of Christmas cards I made with the fabulous Holiday Button Bits set - isn't this gingerbread guy just too adorable?!

The flourishes on the base layer were stamped with Versamark Dazzle ink, giving them a nice shimmer :)

Close up:

Recipe: Stamps - Holiday Button Bits/Fancy Flourishes (PTI)
Card - Scarlet Jewel/Ripe Avocado (PTI)
Ink - Versafine/Versamark Dazzle/Colorbox - Chestnut Roan
Other - Scarlet Jewel buttons (PTI)

Got to dash into town now for a few (more!) last minute bits and bobs - I'll post a few more cards tomorrow! Enjoy your day!

Welcome to A Passion for Papertrey - a place where lovers of Papertrey Ink can get together to share ideas, inspiration, take part in challenges and join swaps!

We're Kate, Aimes and Caryn - we all live in the UK and became friends thanks to our mutual love of all things Papertrey. We soon found out there were lots of other fans in the UK and Europe and thought there should be a corner of the web to bring us together.

Of course we welcome readers from around the world but our primary aim is to unite stampers who use Papertrey products from the UK and the rest of Europe.

Every fortnight we will set a challenge using Papertrey products AND at the end of each challenge we will randomly draw a winner who will recieve some Papertrey goodies! This may be a roll of ribbon, a selection of papers and matching cardstock or even a stamp set!!

We know that as it is an overseas company you may not have a large collection of stamps and Papertrey colours so these will be kept quite general.

For example if you don't have the Papertrey colours you could use one of their stamps and cardstock/papers from other companies, or get creative with just some Papertrey papers and ribbon - the main thing is to have fun!
