Meet Madison from Paper Sweeties

Have you met my friend Madison yet?  She's beautiful.  This girl always has the cutest outfits, too.  She gets all her cute stylish clothes from the Paper Sweeties Boutique, and the good news is....ALL the outfits are on sale this month.  All the Sweeties (dolls) are looking forward to having YOU stop by to pick up some new outfits for them and start creating with them.  They're counting on you (to clothe and style them).  LOL
It's always FUN creating with Paper Sweeties.  I started this card with basic black cardstock and I added one layer of patterned paper (Crate Paper - Bundled Up) and one layer of white watercolor paper.  I used oxide inks to rub on a pink and red background, and then I stamped several of the small images found in the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set to create a random design.
I stamped Madison with the Madison Stamp Set, colored her with Copics, and cut her using the Madison Sweet Cut (plus a little extra shaving to fit into her outfit).  By the way, don't you just LOVE all those adorable layers of ruffles on her outfit?  This Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set I used is included in the current sale.  The sentiment I stamped (JOY) can be found in the Merry Stamp Set.
The cute scalloped border I aded on the left-hand side of the card was created using patterned paper scraps along with the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts.  This is another great Sweet Cut set that comes in handy time and time again.  I also added some Black Licorice Seam Binding, some red baker's twine and a few rusty jingle bells.

Thanks again for visiting me today, and please visit again soon.

We All LOVE Our Paper Sweeties

Hello sweet blog friends and crafters; and welcome by my blog.  I'm posting today for Paper Sweeties; and while there's no new release this month, there is still some really EXCITING NEWS I'd like to share with you all.  My talented teammate, Maria Patrick, and I will be joining the Paper Sweeties Sweet Kit Design Team starting next month.  What does that mean, you ask?  Well, the Sweet Kits are a wonderful collection of items from Paper Sweeties that come out quarterly.  They normally contain items such as a mini stamp set and coordinating cuts, patterned papers, embellishments, etc. that are designed to help you create several lovely projects.  I can hardly wait to get my hands on the 1st Quarter Sweet Kit of 2021, and I sure hope you'll stop by to see what Maria and I create with the Sweet Kit to inspire you.  The Sweet Kits sell out quickly, so be sure to stop by February 14-16 to see what the 1st Quarter Sweet Kit contains.  I have no doubt that you would LOVE to have one of these awesome Sweet Kits for your very own.
This month we're taking a look back at some of our (many) favorites from Paper Sweeties and showcasing fun ways to use these DARLING products.  I love ALL of Paper Sweeties' amazing stamp sets, sweet cuts and more.  And because I love to create with them, today I'm sharing this sweet card using a few of my (many) favorites.  I just adore all their sweet products; but I can't use them all in one project (I try, trust me).  I started with some patterned papers from my stash and created a base.  I used more patterned paper scraps to cut the Rectangle Sweet Cut, and I machine stitched the inside of the rectangle.  I stamped Madison and cut her with the Madison Sweet Cut.  Her dress was cut using another snippet of patterned paper and the At The Beach Stamp Set.
I used the With Heartfelt Thoughts Stamp Set and Sweet Cuts to create the flowers in Madison's hair.  The sentiment can be found in the With Heartfelt Thoughts Stamp Set.  I stamped the sentiment in Coal Black Ink and I cut the sentiment using the sentiment banner found in the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts.  There are lots of creative ways to use patterned paper scraps/snippets.  This card is a good example of that.  Paper Sweeties products make it easy to create cute cards.
Thanks again for stopping by today.  The Design Team and I will be sharing inspirational projects today, tomorrow and Saturday to inspire you and to showcase all the awesome products from Paper Sweeties.  There's sure to be something YOU "can't live without", so why not stop by and pick up what you didn't get for Christmas.....stamps, dies, seam binding, and more.  Go on ahead and treat yourself!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow.
Blessings,
Karen

I'm playing along here:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog - Simon Says "Layer It Up" so I used several different designs of patterned papers and ephemera because I love layering patterned papers and adding machine stitching and other textures, etc.
