The July Blog Hop is not taking place until July 25th, but we thought we would share the challenge as well as the inspiration photo here to give you a head start.
A day dedicated to seeking inspiration through projects utilizing Papertrey Ink products. This event allows all of our customers who enjoy sharing inspiration & artwork with their peers do so through their personal blogs.
The actual Blog Hop will take place on July 25th, beginning @ 10 am EST.

Check out this gorgeous piece of inspiration I stumbled upon while on Pinterest! As soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a perfect blog hop! Here are just a few things that I found inspiring:
- The patterns and colors in the banner. A simple banner like this and a sentiment on a crisp white card would be amazing!
- The gingham envelope with the stitched flap and floral button. Could easily be recreated with a mini envelope die or for an overall A2 card front.
- The vintage button cards could be re-created using Button Boutique, paired up with some of the colors and patterns from the other fabrics included in the photo.
- The dainty embroidered flowers and possibly a sentiment added with Stitched Alphabet.
- The sweet bouquet of flowers paired with a doily could be interpreted in a million different ways, with dies or stamps!
- The slightly shabby background could be recreated by swiping ink or paint onto your cardstock, allowing to dry and using a sanding block to remove some of it.
- That sweet bird! Use your favorite bird stamps or dies to re-create the patterns and colors used on this one.
I am sure that many of you will come up with even more ideas! We look forward to seeing all of your creations!
This is wonderful inspiration. Love the colors too!
Papertrey Ink has several stamp sets that would work well when using this inspirational image. I have found that it is very helpful to watch the “Make it Monday” videos to be reminded of ideas and techniques that sometimes slip my mind! It will be a lot of fun to design a project using both this image and the videos for inspiration!
I love this one so much! The problem will be too many ideas! Thanks! 🙂
So sweet! Love the colors, patterns, texture AND style. 🙂 Looking forward to playing along with this one.
Such great creative vision! So much to learn!
Like the subtle mint green with the bright red pink and aqua.
Swoon-worthy inspiration! I can only imagine what Melis would do with it.
My first response was OMG! I want to replicate everything “as is” in this image. Wonderful inspiration for the challenge!
Love everything in this photo! Every. Last. Detail.
What are the rules for the hop? Is it PTI products only or at least one PTI stamp used? Thanks much! LOVE the inspiration!
Always one of my favorite themes!
Using the old arts like embroidery and crochet and flowers always gives inspiration – love the colors and variety of crafts shown!!!
Totally LOVE the color choices! Tons of new inspiration for me here! Thanks for the opportunity to join the HOP!
