Welcome back by today, everyone! I'm so glad you're here as we share inspiration using the 3rd Quarter Sweeet Kit from Paper Sweeties that you can now purchase. It is FILLED with the sweetest new stamp sets, coordinating dies (sweet cuts), patterned papers, seam binding, and Doodlebug embellishments galore. Ever since I opened my "pretty pink package", I haven't been able to keep my hands off these FUN products. That's ALWAYS the case with my Paper Sweeties' orders.
For my first card today, I started with a navy (and golden/yellow) cardstock base, and then I attached a piece of floral patterned paper from the 6x6 Doodlebug Paper Pad that you'll find in the Sweet Kit. Once I had my papers all attached and in place, I used the adorable new stamp sets found in the 3rd Quarter Sweet Kit to stamp the sentiment (Blessed To Have You As My Friend). Aren't these colors just SO bright, cheerful and fun?
I also ran a piece of the Doodlebug Washi Tape found in this Sweet Kit across my card. Then, I used some Cookie Dough Seam Binding along with the Raspberry Seam Binding from the Sweet Kit along with some Blueberry Baker's Twine to create a pretty bow. I topped that with a Doodlebug 3-D flower from the Sweet Kit.
There are several Doodlebug Stickers in the Sweet Kit, and I used some of them here and there (mostly flowers and leaves, the bird and heart, and the house) to adorn my card. Tomorrow I will be sharing another card using some of the darling images from the new stamp sets. They are SO cute, and I'm super excited to share more with you. Speaking of which.......
My second card has a white cardstock base and more of those delightful Doodlebug patterned papers that you'll receive in your Sweet Kit. I took another piece of white cardstock and used the stamps (also in Sweet Kit) to stamp the rotary telephones and the word Hello on the background. I stamped them randomly here and there to create a fun background. They're just SO cute.
I ran a piece of the sweet Candy Hearts Doodlebug Washi Tape (included in Sweet Kit) across my card. You'll also receive a package of sweet little sequettes (a what? well, not really a "sequin" - so I call them "sequettes"; as they're flat, they come in different sizes, and they're iridescent so they somehow grab the colors around them). I placed them here are there.
I cut the small tag using Sweet Cuts Stitched Tags #1 and ran some solid baker's twine through the hole. I used the darling Doodlebug Doodle Pops (telephone and hello) and placed that on the tag. There are SO many cute products in this Sweet Kit, and it's SO much fun creating with them. I do hope you'll stop by Paper Sweeties and treat yourself to something new. Go ahead, you deserve it.
Have a wonderful day, and I will hope to see you again tomorrow. Thanks so much for visiting me. It's always appreciated. Until tomorrow, take care and have a blessed day. I'm always SO grateful when you stop my blog and I hope you've enjoyed your visit. Stay creative, friends.
Blessings,
Karen
