Hello and welcome to the first day of the Papertrey Ink Anniversary Festivities! I am thrilled beyond thrilled to be joining this amazing team of designers for 2016! It's pretty surreal to see my picture up there with so many that I have admired for so long.
Boy do we have some fun things planned for the next 10 days, lots of challenges, and of course peeks of all the new February release products. And seriously people, when I got my first preview of the February release, I almost hyperventilated!! It is stunning! I love every single thing... A LOT!!
So today we have shared over on Nichole's blog a favorite card from 2015, along with the list of colors we used to create it. And now we are challenged to share a brand new card for 2016 created with those very same colors. You can find all of the designers favorite cards and color schemes on Nichole's blog!
Here is my new card created with the lovely combination of Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest, Sweet Blush, and Summer Sunrise.
I adore this color scheme and I have used a couple of PTI stamp sets that I also love. The Day Dreamer stamp set is one of my most loved sets. My Mom and I both have used that set so much and still love it like it was new! I stamped the Happy sentiment with my MISTI using Sweet Blush at the top and Raspberry Fizz at the bottom to give the ombre effect. Everything was adhered with foam tape.
I cut a piece of the pink striped paper from the Ombre Stripes paper pack with the Sentiment Splits : Angle Vertical dies and glued it along the bottom of my card. I stamped the birthday sentiment and also cut it with the Sentiment Splits.
- STAMPS: Stacked Sentiments, Day Dreamer
- DIES: Stacked Sentiments, Day Dreamer, Sentiment Splits: Angle Vertical
- INK: Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest, Sweet Blush, Summer Sunrise
- PAPER: Stamper’s Select, Ombre Stripes paper pack
That is all I have today, but I have SO much fun stuff to share with you in the next ten days! Be sure to stop by Nichole's blog to read all about the Anniversary Festivities going on and also stop by the other design team members blogs to see their inspiration!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh my goodness, Kay! What an honor! I am so thrilled for you! Congratulations to you on your success! The card you shared is pure Kay delight! I adore those colors. You have a wonderfully beautiful cluster and it even has the happy already on the card! So, so pretty! I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us! Congratulations, Kay! So well deserved!! Hugs! I guess you are having a super awesome Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! I am so looking forward to seeing everything!
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to see why PI wants you to be one of their fabulous designers for 2016, congrats!
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted for you, Kay - you have so earned a place designing for this fabulous company - every single PTI thing that I own is special to me. I am continually inspired by your use of colour and design elements, you are at the top of my favourite card designers list! Congratulations
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Kay! Daydreamer is one of those wonderful, classic sets, isn't it? (PTI does that so well) I have always been inspired by your release posts each month and am glad to know you'll be back this year. :) Looking forward to a great year!
ReplyDeleteOh, Wow, this is gorgeous, Kay! So glad you'll be on PTI's DT this year, too!
ReplyDeleteIt IS a beautiful color scheme, Kay...so HAPPY!:) I loved your first card and the second is equally as beautiful...so crisp and bold, yet you've given it a softness with the letters. Just gorgeous! Not much time to craft or visit for me these last months, but I continue to enjoy inspiration from you from ALL your many teams and peek in on it whenever I can! Keep it comin', my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, particularly those pinks!
ReplyDeleteStunning! My jaw is always open when I visit. Superb work, gorgeous stamping and arranging, and color and ombre and just wow! Love that little bloom tucked in. So glad you're on my favorite design team!!!
ReplyDeleteYour skill and creativity is unsurpassed! I can't tell you how many of your designs I've tried to reproduce....looking forward to a wonderful year of new designs!
ReplyDeleteStunning!! I LOVE your designs and have to say that you are one of my idols of the card making world. You make everything fresh.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy colors! Glad you joined the team!
ReplyDeleteBright, cheerful, happy! Perfect once again.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love that you are a member of the PTI DT, Kay! You are one of my very favourite designers -- I always find your work so inspiring, as well as hard on my wallet! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards (on Nichole's blog and here) are fabulous! I love this colour combo and how you stamped the "Happy" with an ombre effect!
So happy you're back (as if you wouldn't be) for another year with PTI! Obviously you know a littlle something about eye-pleasing design because I don't think I'm the only person who can't help loving every single card you make. Thank you for always inspiring and leaving me with a smile on my face. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what you've created...today is no exception!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are always so over the top gorgeous and so inspiring! Love these colors! You are a fabulous addition to the PTI team!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're on the design team. You have the most incredible talent. I always look to your blog for inspiration. Thanks for all the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you made it to PTI - I have followed you for a long time on Feedly and you are simply. Amazing. The projects you share just knock my socks off each and every time - I can spot a Kay Miller project anywhere- your use of color, technique and all things with dies - give you a signature all your own. Looking forward to lots more!!!
ReplyDeleteHow difficult it must have been to pick one favorite card from 2015. All of yours are favorites in my book. Your newest Happy Birthday card is spectacular, Kay! Love the ombré, the stripes, the angles, the placement and bright colors...love everything you do.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw this card - I thought two things. One, I can't miss any of Kay's creations, and two, I don't like these colors together, and yet, I can't stop looking at this beautiful card! It is possible to have orange and pale pink in the same composition, and have a glorious effect. You just need a fabulous talent to show you it can be done.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are with Papertrey, because I can't imagine my creative life without you, and for some reason, you were not squarely on my radar before joining them. Some of your projects literally make me weak in the knees. Your tuna can project with the Petite Places was a 'most Pinned', and I guessed that one before I even saw the list.
Your posts arrive in my emails almost daily, and they are like opening a gift every time. Thanks from the bottom of my heart, and enjoy this new year on the DT; I certainly will!
Congratulations, Kay!! You are amazing =)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Kay! Always LOVE your cards and LOVE PTI! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you are part of the PTI Design Team, Kay! You are so deserving!!! What a gorgeous card, too! I love how you created the ombre effect on the sentiment...it's perfect with the striped papers, and your floral grouping is stunning! Nichole is truly blessed to have someone like you on her team :)
ReplyDeleteYour work is amazing and Papertrey Ink is a perfect fit,that ...and now you are at one of my favorite stamping places. Gorgeous cards! Congratulations,this must be a fun and busy month for you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I will be able to CASE your lovely designs for another wonderful year at PTI!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards and color combo...Happy colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your inspiration.
Love your card so much, these colors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou weren't the only one who was thrilled to see you on the Papertrey team. I just love your work. Your cards just speak to me, they are always so clean, bright and happy!! I think you have a wonderful color sense and your favorite card of the year was my favorite too. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in 2016!!
ReplyDeleteBright, cheerful, gorgeous - in other words just beautiful in a Kay Miller way! You are right where you belong, my friend!
