Paper Sweeties March New Release Rewind

Hello creative friends, and welcome to Day 3 which is New Release Rewind Day for the Paper Sweeties where we're sharing projects featuring the awesome new GATHER Stamp Set.  This FABULOUS new stamp set uses the same adorable font as the popular BLESSED and MERRY Stamp Sets that have each sold out numerous times.  And because all the letters in these sets are in the same font, the letters from each set can be combined to spell pretty much any word you can imagine.  I combined all three sets to create this sweet card to share with you today.

I created a card base by cutting some pretty glitter music paper (from Michael's) and then I layered that with a piece of cut white cardstock to break up the music pattern a bit.  With that creamy backdrop in place, I used the Scalloped Rectangle Frame Sweet Cuts to cut the frames, again from the music paper to create a frame for each stamped word.

The words RELAX and REPEAT can be found in the new GATHER Stamp Set.  I created the word READ by combining letters from the new Gather Stamp Set, our Merry Stamp Set, and the Blessed Stamp Set.  It's so cool that these sets can be combined to help you create so many different words.  I used a book image from the I'm So Proud of You Stamp Set and I used a coffee image from the Life Begins After Coffee Stamp Set.

The finishing touches for this sweet card include a pretty bow tied with yummy wrinkly, crinkly, ink-stained shabby-delicious Bubblegum Seam Binding and a special Paper Sweeties Sequin.  I hope you've enjoyed all the projects using the sweet new GATHER Stamp Set.  Here are the direct links for today's posts on my talented teammates' blogs.  Just click on each name to be taken directly to their post for today.

BLESSED - Turner Syndrome Awareness

Welcome by today, everyone.  Thank you for joining us today, July 2 through Sunday, July 4 as our friend, Lori Kobular, leads the Turner Syndrome Awareness Card Auction on Instagram.  You can bid on many beautiful cards donated from talented artists representing various companies.  The card I'm sharing today was created and donated by me on behalf of Paper Sweeties.  I also have one other card and a mini album up for auction.

At Paper Sweeties, we LOVE all things cute AND...we love helping others.  It's been our privilege and pleasure to participate in this wonderful event; and Paper Sweeties products make it easy and fun to create something special.  This card uses some cardstocks and a pretty patterned paper that I topped with a small glassine bag.  I used the For You Sweet Cuts (tag die) and cut the tag you see on top of the glassine bag where I tucked in a Hobby Lobby gift card.

I stamped the truck using the Merry Christmas Y'all Stamp Set and I colored it with Copics as well as adding some woodgrain patterned paper to give that groovy retro 1970's look to the truck.  I cut the truck using the coordinating Merry Christmas Y'all Sweet Cuts.  The sentiment (BLESSED) can be found in the adorable Blessed Stamp Set.

Paper Sweeties carries SO many adorable stamp sets, coordinating cuts, seam binding, sequins, and oodles of other lovely products.  AND....at Paper Sweeties, we truly care about people.  We hope that you will stop by to help support the Turner Syndrome Card Auction with us, and to raise awareness and funds for further research for Turner Syndrome.  We're so grateful for your support, and we look forward to having you visit us again soon.

Blessings,
Karen
