Well, since you were intrigued as to what my PTI blow-out consisted off, here are a few pics with which to better illustrate... ;o)
Some stamp sets - there were more I really wanted but had to show some restraint.
A good selection of very versatile dies including two of the fillable frames. I was very good and removed a load of fillable frame sets from my order but wish I'd added one of those mat stack dies now! Oh well... I'm sure I'll survive!
And the rest... all the felt that was available to date, it cuts very nicely and some assorted buttons, alas the holiday button collection that I ordered last year and that got lost in the post on the last leg of its journey is no longer available. But hopefully there will be some more collections in future as I love all the colours but don't need bags of each of them, I already have dark chocolate and sweet blush buttons.
And as for play time... after finishing my work yesterday I got everything out of its box, updated the PTI inventory excel (I told you I'd need it!), got my stamp sets unpacked and ready to use and went and created! I wanted to do something for this month's UKS cardmaking challenge but also have a go at a challenge for the A Passion for Papertrey blog...
Paper: My Mind's Eye
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Dies: Papertrey Ink, Cuttlebug
Brads: Lasting Impressions
Other: Felt, twine, button
The white felt is the PTI felt, and the leaves are cut with Cuttlebug dies from one of the quilling sets from some other felt I had.
And those Just the Ticket stamps and die are fab. Will definitely be using them on all sorts of things.
Anyway, now that I'm done with work for the day I think I might just get back to my stash. The washing up can wait! ;o)
Washing up can always wait LOL! Oh you have me drooling over your PTI order - I haven't ordered for so long!
Love your card, and love how you've put all those new goodies to such good use already!
Thanks so much for joining us on A Passion for Papertrey!
Hugs,
Aimes

Gosh I'm so envious of your PTI goodies but I love the card you made with them. That's a fabulous flower.
