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.

Paper Sweeties New Release Day

Can you believe it?  EEP!  It's finally here and available for sale at Paper Sweeties.  For those of you who fell in love with our original Merry Stamp Set, and then our Blessed Stamp Set, and possibly had to wait to purchase yours because they sell out quickly.........as of today, you can be one of the first people to purchase and own the adorable new GATHER Stamp Set.  It uses the same font as the other two sets, so the letters can be combined to create even more fun words.

When the MERRY Stamp Set was first released, it sold out immediately.  The same was true of the popular BLESSED Stamp Set, and it's very likely that this new GATHER Stamp Set could also sell out quickly.  These are such sweet stamp sets that I know you will enjoy using.  They work well with all of Paper Sweeties other stamps and products, on their own, or even when combined with what you already have on hand.  They're just super cute, super fun, versatile word stamp sets that you will LOVE.

I used a white and a dark plum/pink cardstock base and then I used a small piece of white watercolor paper to stencil a background using Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberries Oxide Inks.  I used the word WELCOME from the new GATHER Stamp Set and I stamped it with Coal Black Ink.  I just love the bold crisp font on these awesome stamps.  I stamped the house and the chimney "smoke" hearts with Coal Black Ink using the Somewhere Over the Rainbow Stamp Set and die-cut the house with the coordinating Somewhere Over the Rainbow Sweet Cuts.    The final touch to this sweet little card was the Black Licorice Seam Binding I used to stretch across my card and tie into a sweet bow.  There are so many lovely products available at Paper Sweeties.

Here are the links to the blog posts for each of my talented teammates who have prepared something special to inspire you today using the new GATHER Stamp Set.  Just click on the name(s) below and you will be taken directly to their posts for today's New Release.  I know they'll appreciate your comments as much as I do.
