Pantone Chip Inspired Cards (MIM #288)...

I have to admit, I've never seen Pantone chips, or if I did, really didn't pay attention to them. But after seeing Lexi Daly's video Make It Monday #288: Pantone Chip Inspired Cards, I'm hooked on this technique! Lexi shows us how to create and decorate the chips.

Since I just received my June PTI purchases, I decided to use Beautiful Berries: Summer for my card. I started by die-cutting the berries and stamping them in Pure Poppy and Scarlet Jewel inks and the leaves in Green Parakeet and New Leaf inks. I die-cut the berries 4 times and stacked them together.

My chip is Pure Poppy and white cardstock. I did it the way Lexi suggested, with a backer piece to give it a little more stability. The size of this chip is 3.0" x 3.75". I stamped the sentiment, from Beautiful Berries: Summer in black ink. 

I didn't want to have a plain background and used one of the Modern Background stencils with Pure Poppy ink. I added a little glitter to the berries to finish the card.

I had so much fun making this card that I decided to make another one in blue. For the chip I used Blueberry Sky and white cardstock. The berries are stamped in Blueberry Sky and Enchanted Evening inks. Everything else is the same.

For the background, I used a brick wall stencil with Blueberry Sky ink. This time I placed the chip to the left side instead of centering it. The sentiment is Keep It Simple: Friendship.

Fun technique, especially if you need a quick card! I can see myself using it often!
