Welcome t the New Paper Sweeties September Release Sneak Peeks!! =) SQUEAL!! These New Products are just SO FUN!! Today I've used the New

Thanks

Thanks Sweet Cuts

Thankful

Thankful Sweet Cuts
to create some SWEET Treat Packages, but you could also use these for a Holiday Gathering as Place Cards or Labels for any of your Holiday Masterpieces at a Family Gathering/Banquet/Party so people know what they are feasting on!! Just change out the words!! I started by Scoring a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor paper in half leaving the center area free from any lines!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Images and watercolored them in using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers!! I then took the coordinating Dies and Partially Die Cut the Images so they'd Pop-Up!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE the way they turned out!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the THANKS on one and Die Cut the Thanks on the other and attached them to some Mylar Treat Bags by Folding them over the top!! SO EASY and FUN to make for ANY Occasion!!  =)

Don't forget to stop by the rest of the AMAZING DT Blogs to see what they have created!!

Hello!!
Can you believe Christmas is only 4 Days Away!!?? Are you ready!!??
I'm getting there!! =)
I'm stopping in to share the New Any Thing Goes Challenge over on the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Blog!! This is the EASIEST Challenge you'll EVER enter and when there is a chance to win a $30.00 Gift Certificate to the Paper Smooches Store, what are you waiting for!!??
I decided to share the Ornaments I've made for the Holiday!! Every year I create Ornaments to give away with my Gifts to both Family and Friends and Beckett's Teachers!! I have made over 20 of these using SEVERAL Different Paper Smooches Images as the focal points of each Ornament!! They were so FUN and EASY to make and I LOVE how NEAT they look hanging on the Tree and the Packages!! =) I've used PS Chubby Chum Pals , Freezy Fellas, Hooties, and Santa Paws stamp sets along with the Fellas, Borders 1, Chums, Owl Icons, Scalloped Circles, and Snowflakes dies!!

I hope you like these and that you'll think of ways to use your stamps for Ornaments!! I've used several different Images for the back of the Ornaments too and then I'm able to add a written signature and the Year for a keepsake that will be cherished for years to come!!  =)

Hello!!
SO EXCITED to share my Project with you today!! =)
We are Celebrating the New Paper Sweeties November Release with a Countdown
today for the New Products that will be available in the Paper Sweeties Store on Saturday the 15th of November!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Tag that could be used in a TON of different ways!! I've used it on a My Mind's Eye Tree Bark Printed Treat Bag, but this could also be added to a Card Base for a Similar look!! I LOVE how it turned out!! The Printed Tag is from Pink Paislee and then I've used the New Homemade With Love Stamp Set and the Coordinating Sweet Cuts ~ Homemade With Love Die Set!!

 

 

 Hopefully you can see just how BEAUTIFUL this is and the Sparkle that it gives off!!

Paper Sweeties November Inspiration Challenge #25 Holiday JOY!! =)

Hello!!
Are you ready for the New Paper Sweeties November Challenge!!??
I can't believe November is here, but we have a New Challenge and a Prize up for Grabs so I hope you'll join us and Play along this month over on the Paper Sweeties Blog!!
I thought it would be FUN to create a Winter Scene and I wanted to make it an Anniversary Card so I decided to use two of the Snowman Images from the Newly Released Snow Friends Stamp Set!! I decided to die cut all of the coordinating Elements using the New Snow Friends Sweet Cuts Dies and then paper piece them together for a FUN look!! I used some Wink of Stella Glitter Marker for some added Sparkle and I just LOVE the way it looks!! A little Martha Stewart Chunky Course Glitter gives the PERFECT finishing touch making the Snowy Hills come to life!! =)  For my background I started with Tim Holtz Distress Water Color Paper and stamped and Embossed some of the Snowflake Images from the same New Snow Friends Stamp Set!! I stamped them in Versa Mark and then added my White Embossing Powder!! I used Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Broken China for the Perfect Background and I LOVE how it makes the Snowflakes just POP off the Page!! To finish my card off I added a Heart that I stamped onto some Music Patterned Paper and then colored with my Distress Barn Rad Marker and then Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter and added with Foam Tape to connect the Couple!!

 

I sure hope you'll go and checkout what the rest of the AMAZING DT Members Created because I know you'll be Inspired!!

I have some Red Doilies and then I Die Cut an Ornament Tag using a MFT Die Set!! I Stamped and colored my Image using my Colored Pencils and then blended it out with Gamsol!! I fussy cut the main part of the image leaving behind the Sleigh Runner and the Gift Bag Handles and then I stamped the Image again onto the Center of the Ornament Tag and then Colored in the Sleigh Runner and added a Snow Bank that I added some Rock Candy Clear Distress Glitter too!! I Adhered the Sleigh over the top of the other image and then I die cut another Smaller Ornament Tag from the same MFT Die Set and stamped my Sentiment onto it!! I glued it down off to the left hand side of the Sleigh!! I wanted to make it look like it was snowing so I stamped some Snowflakes using some White Pigment Ink and then I added some Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder and some Rock Candy Clear Distress Glitter!! I just LOVE the way this looks in real life!! =)  I die cut a couple Holly Leaves from some Green Felt using a PTI Holly Die and then I die cut the Holly Berries from some Red Felt and then to add some Sparkle I added a few SSS Red Metallic Sequins and added a few Red Gems to the Centers of them!!

HELLO!!

Are you ready for todays Preview as we continue with the Newton's Nook Designs October Release!! I hope so because I'm showcasing the New Newton's Curious Christmas Stamp Set today!!

 

 

I LOVE these SWEET Images and there are SO Many ways they can be used!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Shaker Card!! I started by Die Cutting the Elements for my Shaker using a PTI Snow Globe Die Set!! I LOVE this!! Then I stamped the Snowman and Newton Image and colored it in using my Colored Pencils and Gamsol!! I added some Clear Glitter Wink Of Stella Glitter Pen to parts of the Image for some Extra Sparkle!! =) I fussy cut the image out /and then used my Black Soot Distress Marker to finish off the edges!! I wanted some falling Snow inside my Snow Globe so I stamped a few of the Snow Flake Images with White Pigment Ink and then added some Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder and some Rock Candy Clear Distress Glitter!! =) I then added my Pretty Pink Posh Sequins and a Few MINI Sequins and I LOVE the way they look like Falling Snow!! I put my Shaker Element together and then Stamped my Sentiment chosing to only use a Part of the Sentiment!! I LOVE that you can use as little or as much of a sentiment as you want to personalize your projects!! =) I die cut some Trees from an IO Stamps Die and then added some Jute String!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Poinsettia with a Jingle Bell center for an Embellishment to my Snow Globe so I Die Cut some Felt and some Patterned Paper that I covered in Glitter using a Memory Box Die and then layered the pieces all together to create my Poinsettia!! I added a few Felt Holly Leaves too and I LOVE how it turned out!! I wanted the background to resemble the inside of my Snow Globe so I stamped and added to some more Snow Flakes and my card was Finished!! =)

Hello Sweet Blog Friends!!

Are you READY for Day 2 of the Newton's Nook Designs October Release!!?? =)

I can't wait to share the Tag I've made for today!! I LOVE this New Holiday Hounds Stamp Set!!

 

Isn't this FUN!!?? It just makes me SMILE every time I look at these SWEET Images and read the AMAZINGLY Clever Sentiments that go with them!! I decided it would be FUN to create a Tag for a Stocking Stuffer and I started by die cutting a Wood Grain Tag using a PTI Tag Die!! I then used the Winston's Home for Christmas Stamp Set that we shared yesterday to stamp the Holly Garland across the top of my Tag!! I colored it in with Colored Pencils and then I used the Sparkle image from this stamp set to add just alittle Sparkle to the Garland!! I wanted it to look like the Lights were Twinkling!! =) I stamped the little one only with Versa Mark and then added some Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder and then added my Gold Ritz Glitz Glitter!! I stamped and Embossed my Sentiment to make it pop and then I stamped the Stocking Image and used my Colored Pencils to color it in and used my Gamsol to Blend it out!! I fussy cut it out and colored the edges with my Black Soot Distress Marker and used Foam Tape to pop it up off the Tag front!! I die cut a couple Sweet Little Bows from an IO Stamps Die and layered them and then added a Mini Rusty Jingle Bell to the center of the Bow to finish it all off!!  =)  I LOVE the way it came together!! =)
