Paper Sweeties March Release Rewind!

Happy Monday!

Did you all grab the new Paper Sweeties March releases in the shop yesterday???

I'm back again to share another card I created using the Stitched Tags #1 stamps & Sweet Cuts- but this time paired with it with an older released sets... Bundle of Joy and Bouncing Baby! (still my favorites!)



I thought it would be fun to have this cute giraffe peeking her head out from different directions of the tag. & you might just say that I'm a little anxious for my baby girl's arrival too... :)

It's release day at Paper Sweeties!

The newest releases:  Stitched Tags #1 , Stitched Tags Sweet Cuts & I Pick You can now be found in the Paper Sweeties shop!

Since St. Patrick's Day is just a few days away, I decided to make a fun card using the heart shape from the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts to make a 4 leaf clover!



The stem is from one of last month's release, Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts & the sentiment from I Pick You!

Paper Sweeties March Inspiration Challenge: Waiting for Spring!

OMG- it's March! Can you believe it?

BUT it does mean that it's time for another Inspiration challenge over at Paper Sweeties!

This month's theme is "Waiting for Spring" and while I know there's a lot of you out there still digging yourselves out of the snow- we've been enjoying some pretty fabulous weather here in Arizona! (well maybe not the last couple of days of gloomy gray skies and rain- but I'll take it!)

Here is the photo inspiration for the month:


I just love those painted mason jars- makes me want to find some to spray paint- LOL!

Anyway, I kept my card super simple this time around and did some paper piecing using the newly released Pretty Posies & Garden Time sets and used the pretty pastels as the inspiration...



As always don't forget to stop by all the design team's blogs to check out what they created too! Hope to see you play along!

Paper Sweeties January Release Party!

I couldn't let this release for Paper Sweeties go by without a baby-boy card right?

I used the sweet elephant from the Bouncing Baby set for this one...



I kept my card clean and simple for this one and used some fun embossing folders for some added texture and dimension!

These *ADORABLE* stamps are *NOW* available!! in the Paper Sweeties shop!

It's here! It's here! Release day at Paper Sweeties!!

Popping in with one final peek at another card I made with the Snow Time & the matching Sweet Cuts!



I thought it would be cute to have the little snowman peeking out form the side instead of centered :)

I also paired my card with some sentiments that I masked and stamped to make a new message, I used part of the sentiment from Homemade from Love along with the "Christmas" stamp from the Happy Holidays set! 

Please be sure to swing by to see more inspiration here...

Paper Sweeties December Release Sneak Peeks!

It's *already* the middle of the month and that means there's a new release going on at Paper Sweeties!

This month there are two new sets with matching dies (aka Sweet Cuts) that will be available in the Paper Sweeties shop on the 16th!

Snow Time & Sweet Cuts - Snow Time

Deck The Halls & Sweet Cuts - Deck The Halls

For my first card I decided to play with the Deck the Halls set...


I found some kraft doilies at Michaels and I HAD to have it... you know with my obsession with kraft and all! (Seriously, I think the last 20 cards I've made have all had kraft on it in one way or another! LOL)

Anyway, I colored the sweet birdhouse to make it look homemade with some wood planks, popped on the festive bird with his little Santa hat & topped it off with some liquid pearls for snow.

As always don't forget to check out more fabulous creations from the rest of the design team...
