Papertrey meets politics

Hope everyone is having a great day! I woke up this morning and started to clean the house as I usually do on Sundays, and I stopped smack dab in the middle to make some cards with some paper I received the other night at my SU! demo's house. With ten inches of snowing pending, I needed some Springtime fast, and these colors did just the trick!

All of the paper here is by SU!, as is the ribbon, but the stamp is from the Fancy Flourishes set by PTI. I stamped this in Fresh Snow ink and embossed with white embossing power. I added the miniature pearl stick-ons to the corners and butterfly, which was punched out with a Martha Stewart punch. It's very inspired by Dawn McVey's work, yeah? Her bows are WAY better though. That's the truth!

Needless to say, I never returned to my cleaning. My husband, who is running for political office here in our area, put me to the task of making invitations for one of his events. I am telling you that there is nothing better than the Select White cardstock from PTI! I made 130 invites and reply cards for him, and will be ordering more white cardstock later this evening. {Our first go-around at invites took place last week. We made those on invites on vintage cream cardstock and mounted them on enchanted evening paper. In combination with dark blue ink for the printing, this combo was fabulous!} I cut all the paper, and as I type this he is stuffing envelopes...if anyone from PTI reads this, you should know he said the paper is "awesome." In political-speak, I think this is his way of saying, "There's no way my opponent has mailings on paper as nice as this." You should also know that I am not hoarding your paper here if the quantity in my order startles you. Ha!

Have a good night!
