Paper Sweeties Sweet Kit Sneak Peek

How exciting!  Today we're giving you all a PEEK at the brand new 4th Quarter Sweet Kit from Paper Sweeties.  These FUN kits come out once per quarter, and they are FILLED with cute supplies to help you create oodles of cute cards and projects.  This month's kit includes a darling 6x6 Doodlebug patterned paper pad, a sequin mix, several adorable Doodlebug DoodlePops, Green Apple Seam Binding, a cute acrylic pumpkin, and Doodlebug ephemera.  Here's a photo of everything you'll receive in this Sweet Kit.

OH....and there's also a SALE taking place this month at Paper Sweeties, so this is a great time to pick up a few new cute products for your crafting.  You can get 25% OFF all Paper Sweeties Dolls (stamps and cuts), and ALL the fabulous Boutique (outfit sets) for the Sweeties using coupon code BOO.  There are also some discounted discontinued stamps and other bargains, so be sure to stop by and treat yourself.

For today's post, I made this cute Birthday card.  I did this to show just how incredibly versatile this 4th Quarter Sweet Kit is.  At first glance, you might guess that this Sweet Kit is just seasonal; but that's not the case as you can see here.  I used black and white cardstocks and attached a cute blue plaid patterned paper from the 6x6 Doodlebug paper pad found in the 4h Quarter Sweet Kit to create my base.

I did a bit of machine stitching in black around the outer edge, and the sentiment (Happy Birthday) is a piece of the Doodlebug Ephemera from the Sweet Kit.  I also added some of the adorable Doodlebug DoodlePops (coffee cup, coffee beans, birds) found in the 4th Quarter Sweet Kit as accents.  You'll see some various patterned papers that I attached, and one of them was cut using the Stitched Tags #1Sweet Cuts tag, and is tied with some Pink Baker's Twine.

As is the case every time I receive my Sweet Kits (or any other product from Paper Sweeties), I get SO excited and just start creating like crazy.  I mean, come on!  How CUTE are all these goodies?  They just make card-making SO easy.   Because this cute Birthday card has a coffee theme, I wanted to include a place for a coffee gift card.  SO......to finish the inside of this fun card, I used the same colors and Doodlebug patterned paper (along with some other patterned paper scraps) to create the card base.  I attached a small kraft bag to tuck in a Starbucks gift card.  On the front of that little bag, I used the Wishing You Stamp Set to stamp the sentiment.  I also used the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts to make the cute little scalloped borders.  This last photo (below) shows you the gift card that I tucked inside that cute little bag/envelope.  Paper Sweeties makes it easy to create cute cards and projects.  This new 4th Quarter Sweet Kit is filled with darling stamps, patterned papers and accessories that will provide endless hours of creativity.
