Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

Welcome to Day 1 of the Paper Sweeties 

November Release 2019!! 

I created a FESTIVE Holiday Card for today using the *NEW* Stamp Sets called "Truck Add On: Occasions" along with the the "Bleassed" Stamp Set!! 

Here's a look at the *NEW* Sets!!

                   Truck Add-on: Occasions

Truck Add-on: Occasions Sweet Cuts

Blessed


I wanted to create a FESTIVE Holiday Card using the Truck Image from the Merry Christmas Ya'll Stamp Set!! Then I paired it with the Presents from the NEW Truck Add On: Occasions Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Masked the Truck so I could add the Presents to the back of the Truck with a seamless Image!! 
I then used Copic Markers to color in the Images!! 
I used ( Truck: BG10, BG45 & BG49  Window: BG000  Tires: N2, N4 & N8  Light: Y11, Y19 & YR23  Presents: YG61, YG67  R43, R46 & R89  Y11, YR23  N0 & N2) 

I Stamped and Embossed the "HOME" Sentiment from the NEW Blessed Stamp Set and then I Stamped and Embossed the "for the Holidays" Sentiment from the Merry Christmas Ya'll Stamp Set onto a Black Strip of Cardstock using White Embossing Powder!! I added it to the card using some 3D Black Foam Squares and then I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!! I added some Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew over the Window, the Tire Centers, the Light and the Ribbons on the Packages!! I LOVE the CAS Design and think this would be an EASY Design for Mass Producing for the Holidays!!

Poinsettia Blooms Holiday Birthday Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

HELLO Crafty Friends!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing a BEAUTIFUL Holiday Birthday card!! I LOVE the Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set and ALL of the different ways that you can use it!! Such a Versatile Set to add to your Stash!! Here's what I've created for today!! 

 

 I started by Stamping and Embossing the Images from the Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set. I colored all those lovely blooms from the set using Copic Markers in shades or Red, Green and Turquoise and trimmed out all the pieces with the coordinating Poinsettia Blooms Die Set, layering them to create a gorgeous cluster of flowers in the corner of my card. I also added in some berries and boughs from the Winter Birds Stamp Set and cut them out with the Winter Birds Die Set to add more elements to the floral clusters!! For my Card Base I added some Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks and then I mixed some Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint together and added some Splatters to add some Dimension!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the "make a wish" sentiment from the Birthday Essentials Stamp Set to turn this card into a birthday card! I wanted the Sentiment to SPARKLE so I used some WoW Neutral Shimmer Glitter Embossing Powder!! Its hard to see in the Photos, but in real life that little addition of adds a TON of Beauty to this Card!! If you are still creating Christmas cards, this would make a stunning Holiday Card too. Just add in a Holiday sentiment. I framed the lovely floral panel using the scallop edged frame from our Frames & Flags Die Set. To finish off the Design and add even MORE SPARKLE, I added some Tonic Studios Blizzard Glitter Drops (BONUS it matches the Glitter in the WoW Embossing Powder) to ALL of the Berries and then I added some Sunrise Glitter Drops to the Poinsettia Flower Centers!! A few Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Star Sequins scattered around Finishes off the Design!! 

On the inside, I added some more Distress Ink and Distress Paint Splatters along with a second sentiment from the Birthday Essentials Stamp Set also Embossed with the WoW Glitter Embossing Powder!! A few more Iridescent Star Sequins finishes it off!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Hello!!

I'm SUPER EXCITED to be the Guest Star Stamper for the NEW 

Color Throwdown Challenge #491!! 

I LOVE the Inspiration Photo and the Colors!! I was INSPIRED by SO MANY things in the Photo!! 

First the Texture of that Coffee Table made me think of a Pineapple!! Also, the Gold Metallic had to be a feature!! I also wanted actual texture so after brainstorming I decided to use some of my FAVORITE Paper Smooches Products for my Card today!! 

I used some Metallic Gold Embroidery Thread and Stitched my Heart Shape!! Then I used the SWEET Image from the Pineapple Crush Stamp Set!! I used Distress Inks to Watercolor her and then added a SWEET Bow from the Bows Dies Die Set!! Some White Gel Pen Dots finish off her Cheeks, and some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen for some SPARKLE!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the  Huge Hugs 2 Stamp Set with some Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder and added it to a Bookplates Die Frame also from some Simon Says Stamp Black Cardstock!! I added some Distress Ink Splatters in Tattered Rose and Cracked Pistachio and some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters along with some Gold Pretty Pink Posh Sequins in 8mm, 6mm and 4mm Sizes along with some Mini Heart Confetti!! To finish off the Design I added some Tonic Studios Glitter Nuvo Drops in Orange Soda and     to the Center of the Sequins!! 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!! =)

Toucan Love w/ Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It
 
HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!!  
I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing this SWEET Toucan Love Card!!

I Started by Stamping and Embossing all of my Images from the Toucan Party Stamp Set and colored them with fun bright colors, using my Copic Markers!! For my background I Stamped and Embossed a bunch of the toucans from the Toucan Party Stamp Set randomly around the card then I added some ColorQue by Lisa Marie Jimenez Black Diamond ink splatter!! Some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops and Pretty Pink Posh Star Sequins finish off the Background Design!!

 

 I Die Cut all of the Images out using the coordinating Toucan Party Die Set and added them onto a Waffle Flower Scalloped Die Cut from MFT Yellow Gingham Patterned Paper that I layered with a Black Cardstock Circle and a Distress Tumbled Glass Inked Circle to create a SWEET Scene!! To Finish of the Images, I added some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen to their beaks and the Flowers then coated their Beaks with some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops and just some Dots of Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Centers of the Flowers and I just LOVE how it looks!!

I created a custom sentiment using the word "toucan" from the Toucan Party Stamp Set along with the word "love" from the Sending Hugs Stamp Set and White Heat Embossed it onto a Black Cardstock Banner using the Frames & Flags Die Set!!

 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!! I Hope you have a FABULOUS and BLESSED EASTER WEEKEND!!

SQUEAL!! How AWESOME is this NEW Stamp!!?? I wanted to show how you can use this Image to Highlight certain Images!!

I used my Copic Markers to color the Image and then added some Black and White Gel Pen Details and some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen for some Sparkle!!
