Paper Sweeties - Sweet Mini Duos

💕What is a Sweet Mini Duo, you ask?  Well, at Paper Sweeties EVERYTHING is adorable.  Most months, there's a New Release of a full-sized stamp set and coordinating dies (which we call Sweet Cuts).  Once every quarter, there's a Sweet Kit released.  That's a pre-packaged kit which includes a smaller sized stamp set and coordinating dies; which we call a Sweet Mini Duo.  The Sweet Kits tend to sell out quickly.  However, every now and then we have extra sets of the Sweet Mini Duos  (smaller stamp sets with coordinating dies/Sweet Cuts).  This month, we are featuring projects that use some of these ADORABLE Sweet Mini Duos.  They are so cute, and SO much fun.  Today I'm sharing TWO sweet cards using one of my favorite Sweet Mini Duos - Sweater Weather.

This card started with a white cardstock base to which a machine stitched an orange patterned paper.  Next, I took another scrap of white cardstock and created an inked background using oxide ink.  I used the Sweet Mini Duo called Sweater Weather to stamp and cut the coffee mug with sentiment and the leaves.  I also used the Sweet Mini Duo called Home to stamp and cut the cute little pumpkins.  All the stamps and sweet cuts from Paper Sweeties are SO cute that it's really kind of impossible to go wrong.

I also ran some Robin Egg Seam Binding across the bottom of my card.  I used another length of the Robin Egg Seam Binding along with a length of Orange Creamsicle Seam Binding and some Black Licorice Baker's Twine to create my bow.  I also layered some Robin Egg Sequins, Cookie Dough Sequins and Creamsicle Sequins to decorate my card.  These Sequins are cup-shaped/flower-shaped and oh, so cute and unique from any other Sequins.  Oh, and guest what!!!  .....ALL the Sweet Mini Duos are 10% OFF for the Month of September - use code SWEETMINI.

My second card uses a black and a golden cardstock base and a piece of Autumn leaves patterned paper as well as a white cardstock that I used Cut Grass Oxide Ink to decorate.  I stamped and cut the adorable sweaters using the Sweater Weather Sweet Mini Duo, and I placed the sweaters on the inked background, and put some tea-stained mini clothespins on one of the sweaters.  The sentiments I used are also found in the Sweater Weather Mini Duo - as are the images in my first card as detailed above.  It's a super cute, super versatile set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  You'll find lots of great Sweet Mini Duo inspiration projects on the blogs of my talented teammates linked below.  I'll also be sharing more Sweet Mini Duo projects tomorrow and Thursday, so I hope you'll stop back by and visit.  Have a wonderfully creative week, and please visit Paper Sweeties for some Sweet Mini Duo shopping.
