Release Rewind Day at Paper Sweeties

Hello again, and thanks for stopping by today as my teammates and I wrap up this month's FABULOUS new release at Paper Sweeties.  We've been showcasing lots of fun projects featuring this month's awesome new Get Well Stamp Set and coordinating Get Well Sweet Cuts.  I've sure had fun playing with this new set, and I know that you will love it as well.

I used some Crate Paper Farmhouse patterned papers and journalling card, and machine stitched them onto a cream cardstock base.  I stamped the sentiments (Sorry you're sick and feel better soon) from the new Get Well Stamp Set.  These fabulous sentiments make it SO easy to create a sweet get well card to cheer someone who's feeling down.  Getting a handmade card always to helps make people feel a bit better.  The cute tissue box is also found in this fabulous new set (both the stamp and the cuts).

I cut some hearts using a cut found in the Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts, and placed them across the card just in between the lines of stamped sentiments.  So cute!  I did one in a maroon, one in peacock, and one in lemon out of wool felt.  These amazing cuts can be used on paper, wool felt, and all sorts of different things.  Just use a metal shim if you're cutting through something thicker than paper or wool felt.  They're amazing!  Oh yes, and I topped one of the wool hearts with a Cookie Dough Sequin just for an extra kiss of cuteness.

Here's the list of all my talented teammates who have prepared something for you today.  You won't want to miss out on picking up this darling new Get Well Stamp Set, or the coordinating Get Well Sweet Cut Dies.  There's all sorts of creativity just waiting for you at Paper Sweeties.

It's Release Day at Paper Sweeties

Hurray!  Today is the big Release Day at Paper Sweeties, and that means you are now able to purchase the DARLING new Get Well Stamp Set and Get Well Sweet Cuts from Paper Sweeties.  If you haven't seen this awesome new set filled with well-wishes and remedies of cuteness to cheer those you know who are going through a rough time (physically, emotionally, etc.) you will want to check out this lovely new set.  It's filled with wonderful sentiments and some cute images as well.  Here's a look at the new set:

For this card, I used a sweet gingham patterned paper for  my base, and wrapped it with a long luscious piece of Bubblegum Seam Binding...finishing with a fluffy bow of the lovely Seam Binding.  I stamped Madison in Coal Ink and colored her with  my Copics.  I cut her out using the coordinating Madison Sweet Cut.  Please note that Madison is missing the lower half of her body because I "tucked" her into the Seam Binding; showing her from the waist up since she's not feeling well.  I also gave her the cute little box of tissues so she can wipe her runny nose.  I'm sure we ALL know someone who can relate to this condition; and wouldn't they just LOVE to get a card in the mail from you?  This set will really help you reach out to your loved ones in a thoughtful way that's sure to lift and encourage many hurting hearts.

I used the Oval Scalloped Frames to cut the oval on my card where I placed the word GET, and then a lace doily below where I placed the word WELL.  These words can be stamped using the Get Well Stamp Set, or they can be cut using the Get Well Sweet Cuts (as I did)...or, they can be stamped and cut.  Very versatile, as always.  The smaller word (soon stamped in Coal Ink) is also from the Get Well Stamp Set along with about 14 other words you can alternate to create the perfect sentiment.  I personally know that when I had my shoulder surgery in October, I was SO blessed and encouraged by the hand-made cards I received in the mail.  This set will be a great investment into encouraging others for years to come.

I also added some Robin Egg Sequins and some Grapefruit Sequins here and there.  Then I stamped the ADORABLE little Kleenex box found in this set.  It's just the most darling little thing.  I was trying to think of a way to place some tissues in Madison's hand.  I'll just bet one of my crafty teammates have done something like this.  They're SO clever!  Here are the links to their blogs so that you see all the fabulous inspiration they've prepared for you.  And on the first stop (Debbie's Blog), you will also be at the Paper Sweeties store so that you can pop this fabulous new set into your Basket and treat yourself today.  And just think of how many others you'll be blessing by purchasing this set.  The possibilities of how far your love and creativity can reach is truly endless.  OK...here are those fun links:

Sneak Peek With Paper Sweeties

Hello friends and Paper Sweeties fans!  I'm so glad you've stopped by today because it's time for my Paper Sweeties teammates and I to share our "sneak peeks" at the awesome new Get Well Stamp Set and Get Well Sweet Cuts (coordinating die-cuts) that will be released tomorrow.  We all need to have get well stamps on hand, and this amazing new set has so many heartfelt sentiments to help lift the spirits of anyone you're thinking about - and for several different situations.

I created this sweet card using some random patterned papers and cream cardstock.  I cut the frames using the Rectangle Scallop Frames Sweet Cuts, and inside the smaller frame I created a little shaker element filled with the darling Sequins from Paper Sweeties including some Robin Egg Sequins, Raspberry Sequins and Marshmallow Sequins.  I also attached several Sweetheart Blossoms (flowers) around the frames.  I apologize for my messy shaker element...I'm still learning.

The lovely sentiment (Sending Prayers) can be found in the new Get Well Stamp Set.  I stamped this onto cream cardstock and cut it with the adorable banner found in the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts.  There are so many amazing little sentiments in this new set, along with cute little images, and a larger sentiment that says Get Well, and has a matching die - the Get Well Sweet Cuts.  As I mentioned, this perfect new stamp set will be available for purchase starting tomorrow at Paper Sweeties.  But in the meantime, I hope you will stop by my teammates' blogs to get some fabulous inspiration using this new set.

Thanks again for visiting,

Karen

Paper Sweeties New Release Rewind

What a fabulous month it's been at Paper Sweeties!  If you haven't yet seen the ADORABLE new Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Cuts, I hope you'll take the time to visit my talented teammates for inspiration, and then stop by Paper Sweeties to do some FUN shopping!  I just LOVE that this sweet new Planner Series: All Occasions set can be used for your Planners, for Bible journalling, for cards, and so much more.  Like all of the products at Paper Sweeties, this new set is super versatile and is a fabulous set on its own, or when combined with other Paper Sweeties sets.  Here's what I came up with to with you all today.

For my project today, I created a sweet little house or "Treat Box" using the awesome Treat Box Sweet Cuts.  I also used the Treat Box Add-Ons: Home & Garden Sweet Cuts to cut the door, windows and shutters as well as the coordinating Treat Box Add-Ons: Home & Garden Stamp Set to stamp the door and windows.  I stamped the background of the house using the LOVE sentiment found in the Merry Stamp Set. 

I used this month's new set Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating All Occasions Sweet Cuts to create the sweet little banner over the window and the adorable heart up by the Oatmeal Seam Binding bow and tiny wooden clothes pin.  To the heart in the corner, I added some layered Strawberry Sequins.  This sweet new set can be used for stamping in your planners, Bible journalling, or on cards and projects like those you'll see on this inspirational hop today.  There are SO many cute and creative ways to use all of Paper Sweeties' SUPER sweet products.

It's Release Day at Paper Sweeties

Hurray!  The Paper Sweeties February New Release is finally here!  This month we are featuring a new stamp set from our Planner Series called All Occasions (for all you planner people); but since I'm not a planner person, I had to get a little more creative.  That just goes to show you that all of Paper Sweeties stamps are incredibly versatile and can be used in so many different ways.  I sure had fun using this sweet new set on my projects this month.

Today I'm sharing a card that I create by starting with a pink cardstock base.  I attached a piece of sweet patterned paper that I inked and machine stitched to the base.  Next, I used the same pink cardstock and cut a rectangle using the Scalloped Rectangle Frame Sweet Cuts, and again in ivory for the inside of the rectangle.  I stamped Abigail and Madison onto white paper and colored them with my Copics; and I used the Abigail Sweet Cut and Madison Sweet Cut to cut out the girls.  I attached them to the inside of the Rectangle Scalloped Frame.

I cut some borders out of these recurring patterned papers using the scalloped border found in the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts.  I inked those borders and attached them under the girls to create a little base for Abigail and Madison to rest on and, well....just look cute.  I used the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and All Occasions Sweet Cuts to stamp and cut the little flag borders/banners, and the cute little flowers.  This new set has 15 adorable little images that you can use to stamp, cut, journal, and create in so many ways.  

By the way, I used a set called At The Beach to clothe Madison today; and Abigail is wearing an outfit found in the Stamp Set.  I also added bow using Frosting Seam Binding and pink baker's twine.  I layered and attached several Marshmallow Sequins and Robin Egg Sequins along side of a sticker I attached that holds a sweet sentiment (LOVE) which can be found in the Merry Stamp Set.

It's so much fun using all of Paper Sweeties products together.  I love them all...older and newer.  They're all SO sweet, and we know that you will love Paper Sweeties as much as we do.  Here is the list of the other ladies sharing projects with you today.  Enjoy the creative journey.

Paper Sweeties February New Release Sneak Peek

Hello, sweet friends!  Welcome by today as my teammates and I begin to reveal the February New Release from Paper Sweeties.  We have so much inspiration to share with you this month as we take a look at the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating All Occasions Sweet Cuts being released this month at Paper Sweeties.  As always, this set works great on its own or when combined with other Paper Sweeties products.

I'm sharing a very quick little project today just to give y'all that little "Sneak Peek" I promised.  You're going to absolutely LOVE this new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Cuts.  It contains 15 darling image icons to represent each and every season/occasion throughout the year.  For today's project, I made this sweet little tag.

I cut this tag from blue cardstock using the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this set?  All the Stitched Tags sets from Paper Sweeties are adorable (there are three).  Next, I stamped the star image (a few times) using the new Planner Series: All Occasions Stamp Set and cut them using the coordinating Sweet Cuts.  I also tied on some Robin Egg Seam Binding and added a few Cookie Dough Sequins.  These shapes are all SO cute and they make such great accents.

I had a lot of fun stamping these little images and adding them to my projects this month.  And - to show you just how versatile this set really is....I'll be using this set in three very different ways in each of my three Paper Sweeties posts this month (today, tomorrow and Saturday) as will all of my talented teammates - so I really do hope you will pop by our blogs each day to see some AMAZING creativity and say hello.   You will see SO many fabulously fun ways to use this adorable new set.  I think it's time for some much-need retail therapy at Paper Sweeties!

Here's the list of all my teammates sharing their talents with us all today.  Enjoy!

Winter Joy With Paper Sweeties

Hello again today, friends!  Thanks for joining me as I share yet another fun card I made using some of my favorite products from Paper Sweeties.  I hope you've been inspired the past few days by all the darling projects shared by my talented teammates.  If you missed anything, you can catch all the details on the Paper Sweeties Blog.  My teammates and I have been sharing some super sweet Winter projects this month combining a few of the newest Paper Sweeties products as well as a few of all our favorites.  I've been having SO much fun creating with these sweet stamp set, sweet cuts and products because Paper Sweeties carries the most adorable stuff ever!

This card uses some more of that soft pink and soft mint green patterned paper from Prima.  This print also has some rose gold accents in the hearts.  It's so soft and sweet, and I can always find the perfect Seam Binding at Paper Sweeties to match just about any line I'm working with.  For this card, I used some yummy Bubblegum Seam Binding along with some double-head stamens and open roses.

I stamped the awesome pick-up truck found in the Merry Christmas Y'all Stamp Set, and I colored it pink with my Copics.  I knew that I wanted to fill up the back of the truck with something.....but what?  So, I figured I'd fill it with lots of snow and some gifts, candy, etc. to deliver to friends.  The sentiment I chose (JOY)  is from the Merry Stamp Set.  I stamped it in Coal, Fog and Ballerina Pink.  The gifts/packages were stamped using an image found in the Wishing You Stamp Set, and the candy sticks can be found in the delightful Homemade With Love Stamp Set. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Paper Sweeties?  Oh my friends, these are the sweetest products and SO much fun to create with.

Here's the list of all my Paper Sweeties Teammates who have created a sweet Winter project to inspire you.  By clicking on the names below, you will be taken directly to that blog to see that person's creativity.  Thanks again for visiting me, too.  I really appreciate it.

Celebrate Winter With Paper Sweeties

Welcome by again today, sweet blog friends!  Much like I did yesterday, I'm sharing another card today for Paper Sweeties using some more of my favorite "Winter" stamp sets and products.  In fact, all my teammates at Paper Sweeties have created some Winter inspiration for you; and you can see it all on the Paper Sweeties Blog or by clicking on the highlighted links (names) at the bottom of this post.  And of course, all the fabulous products you see featured can be purchased now at Paper Sweeties.

For today's project, I used the new Merry Christmas Y'all Sweet Cuts to cut these gorgeous wool felt trees.  I used the same Sweet Cuts to cut the trunks of the tree from a wood-grain patterned paper.  I also added some Stickles and ultra-fine glitter to the trees to give them a light dusting of "snow".  As you can see, these trees are GORGEOUS.  I have already used this set countless number of times, and it was just released in December.  This set is definitely an all-time favorite for me.  Have you seen the adorable pick-up truck?  Oh my yes, this Merry Christmas Y'all set is a must-have.

The patterned papers I used are from Prima, and I inked everything pretty well.  Did you know that Paper Sweeties carries several fabulous colors of Stamping Inks?  They are just $3 each and just the perfect size to easily ink your stamps in the perfect color.  There are SO many fabulous products in the Paper Sweeties Shop.  For instance, the sentiment I used on this card (SNOW) is from the AWESOME new Merry Stamp Set.  With eleven fabulous words, this will be another set that I will use for many years to come.  I also used the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts to add the wood-grain swirl border at the bottom of my card.

I added several layered Sugar Sprinkles Sequins to my sentiment spot.  The other items I used on my card (items not carried at Paper Sweeties) include the various patterned papers/journalling card, cardstock, some stickers, and the double-head stamens in pinks and creams.

Much like I did yesterday, I'm sharing a quick little matching envelope that I created for this card.  It's so easy to grab your Paper Sweeties stamps and give your envelope a little love to make it as special as the card tucked inside.  I used the awesome new Merry Christmas Y'all Stamp Set to stamp the trees on my envelope.  I used Ballerina Pink and Mud Pie Ink to stamp the trees on the envelope.

Here are the names of my talented teammates I mentioned earlier. If you click on their names, you will be taken directly to each of their sweet blogs so that you can peek at their Paper Sweeties inspirations for the month.  Perhaps something you see will inspire your creativity.  I do hope you'll take time to visit these talented gals, and that you'll treat yourself to some Paper Sweeties products.

Winter Fun at Paper Sweeties

Hello, sweet friends!  Thanks for stopping by today as my Paper Sweeties Teammates and I share some fun new projects we've created using a few of our Winter favorites.  There are SO many fabulous stamp sets and matching die-cuts (Sweet Cuts) available at Paper Sweeties.  You can't go wrong.....from the sweetest of stamps and matching dies to the Sequins, Seam Binding, Patterned Papers, Inks and more...you're sure to find something extra sweet for your crafting needs.

My card today was created using the coffee mug, steam, cupcake and candy sticks found in the SUPER sweet Homemade With Love Stamp Set and the sentiment on the cup (JOY) is from the awesome new Merry Stamp Set.  I also added some luscious Licorice Seam Binding to create my bow, and I topped that with wool felt holly leaves and berries that were cut using the Meet Me Under The Mistletoe Sweet Cuts.

I also created a quick matching envelope for this fun Winter card.  I used the cupcake and candy stick found in the SUPER sweet Homemade With Love Stamp Set and stamped the envelope to match the card.  It's quick and easy, and Paper Sweeties' sweet stamps can help make your envelopes just as cute as your cards.

Like I mentioned earlier, all of Paper Sweeties' products work together to compliment one another so nicely.  You really will LOVE everything you find at Paper Sweeties, and they're sets you're sure to use over and over again for years to come.  I do hope you will stop by Paper Sweeties to look around and shop; and that you'll visit the Paper Sweeties Blog for lots of great inspiration.

Paper Sweeties December Celebration

Welcome by, everyone.  I hope you've been enjoying every day in December with Paper Sweeties.  If you missed any of the fabulous inspiration from Days 1-22 before you arrived here today, you can see the complete list on the Paper Sweeties Blog.  This is also where you can learn about special sales and promotions, see all the latest products, and find out about any special challenges or give-aways. There's always something extra sweet and fun going over at Paper Sweeties.  In hopes of inspiring you today, I've made this sweet multi tag set using several of my Paper Sweeties Christmas favorites along with the fabulous new Merry Christmas Y'all Stamp Set and the coordinating Merry Christmas Y'all Sweet Cuts.  I really hope you've already ordered yourself a set before they're gone.   I know this is a set I will use over and over again.  It's just SO sweet.

I can't seem to put down this ADORABLE new truck and tree set from Paper Sweeties.  I've had so much fun creating with this new Merry Christmas Y'all set, and I know that you will love it too.  I stamped the truck and colored it in blue for this project.  I stamped it with the #noel sentiment found in the Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Stamp Set.  I also stamped and cut the holly berries and ivy found in the Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Sweet Cuts.  The larger tag is cut using the For You Sweet Cuts.

Using the Merry Christmas Y'all Sweet Cuts, I cut the tree from deep green wool felt three times, and I layered them with 3-D tape to give this tree extra depth and dimension.  I cut the tree trunk from a wood-grain patterned paper and inked it with Mud Pie Brown Ink.  I also added some miniature rusty paper clips to  my tags.  ALL of the products found at Paper Sweeties are adorable, and work so well in combination with all the goodies they carry.  Sweetness and creativity await you!

The holly ivy and holly berries were stamped and cut using the Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Stamp Set & Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Sweet Cuts, and I attached some ribbon snippets.  The large tag itself was cut from wood-grain patterned paper using the tag found in the For You Sweet Cuts.  This is a super versatile and basic tag that I use a lot - all year long.  It's a highly useful die-cut that (along with all Paper Sweeties Cuts) are able to easily cut through paper, fabric, felt, materials, etc.  As you can see....I also created four smaller tags.  These smaller tags were cut using one of the four sweet tags found in the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts.  This is another wonderfully useful tag set, just a bit smaller than the For You Sweet Cuts tag.

I used paper scraps, and added the holly berries and ivy from the Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Stamp Set.  Each sentiment (Faith, Hope, Joy and Love) was stamped using the sweet new Merry Stamp Set released last month.  Adorbs!  And don't you just LOVE all the cute hashtag ### sentiments at Paper Sweeties?   SO cute.

I sure hope you've been stopping by Paper Sweeties every day this month so that you won't miss any of the excitement and fun, but if you missed anything just stop and by and follow the links to all the amazing inspiration.

How adorable are those sentiments from the Merry Stamp Set or the holly and ivy from the sweet Meet Me Under the Mistletoe Stamp Set......SO adorable!   I just love all the sweet products found at Paper Sweeties, and you will too!  These simple little tags turned out SO cute using these darling products to adorn them.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, and for leaving me some love.  It's greatly appreciated.  You really will love all the fun, excitement and inspiration happening at Paper Sweeties this month; so be sure to stop by often.

Blessings,

Karen

More December Christmas Card Fun

Welcome by today, friends!  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at this card I made to celebrate along with Paper Sweeties this month.  There are special sales and promotions, new products, lots of great inspiration, and of course the ADORABLE Paper Sweeties Shop where you can find the sweetest of things!

Have you SEEN this adorable new set?  It's called Merry Christmas Y'all and it's my new Christmas FAVORITE!!  I can't seem to put it down.  Seriously!  I'm absolutely smitten with it; and guess what.....it comes with matching Sweet Cuts (coordinating dies for the truck and tree).  I used just the Merry Christmas Y'all Sweet Cuts to cut the two green trees from wool felt.

I stamped the cream wool felt tree using the Meet Me Under The Mistletoe Sweet Cuts; which was always my favorite until the new set came out.  And now...I simply LOVE them both!   I cut the white tree and stamped it with the adorable tree found in the Meet Me Under The Mistletoe stamp set.

The adorable sentiment (JOY) was stamped using the new Merry Stamp Set which is the cutest sentiment set.  Oooohhh....it's lovely!  I also added some Cookie Dough Sequins to my trees, and I added a little bow to the chipboard piece using a length of Cookie Dough Seam Binding.  The yellow stars at the tops of all my trees were cut using the star found in the Meet Me Under The Mistletoe Sweet Cuts.

There are so many fabulous products at Paper Sweeties to help YOU create something extra sweet.  Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to visit the Paper Sweeties Blog to see all we have going on this month.  You won't want to miss one single day of the Paper Sweeties December Celebration.
