Here are two cards that I am sending out this week. I am experimenting with the PaperTrey Ink (PTI) line and I am enjoying myself! The first card includes a patterned paper compatible with the PTI cardstocks and inks. The second card includes a background paper created on their white cardstock with their stamps. I used Verve stamps for the sentiments and I also played with Spellbinders Dies for the circular die cuts and scalloped mats.
Other paper/ink lines that I am interested in include Stampin' Up and Gina K. Designs. For right now, though, I am enjoying PTI. For about $100 I got enough material to get started. This included white 120-lb weight cardstock, colored cardstock, patterned paper, compatible inks and 2-stamp sets. So far, here is my review of the PTI line:
PROs:
- Affordability
- Coordinating Color System - cardstock, patterned paper, inks, ribbons, buttons all match and work together seamlessly
- High-quality white cardstock (for card bases)
- Good-quality stamped images
- Fast shipping
- Accompanying dies for stamps
- Rewards point system for purchases
- Oddly shaped ink pads
- Slightly difficult to navigate website

The first card is going to someone experiencing the first anniversary of his dear wife's passing. The second card goes to close family friends who are always so loving and supportive. We used to live in the same town as them and we miss them dearly :-(.
May God's blessings of hope and love accompany the sentiments of each card.
Who can you bless today with your gifts?
