PTI September Blog Hop

This is my second post today, so please scroll down to see the first.
Its time again for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This months challenge is to Go Green: to reuse, repurpose and recycle our packaging from our Papertrey Packages. Here is what I came up with...
I chose to reuse three different packaging materials to create my flower... the corrugated cardboard, the kraft colored packaging paper and the cream colored packaging paper. I cut all three using my Blossom Nestabilities, stamped the cream paper with red polka dots, and tied them all together with a button and a twine knot.
Can't wait to see what everyone else created! Thanks for hopping by, I hope you enjoyed!

  • Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II, Fancy Flourishes & Damask Design
  • Ink: Aqua Mist, Dark Chocolate & Pure Poppy
  • Cardstock: White, Kraft, Bazzill Red, PTI Packaging
  • Accessories: Dark Choc Button, Twine, Aqua Mist Twill Ribbon, Corner Rounder, Blossom Nestabilities
