Paper Sweeties November 2019 Rewind Day


Hello Sweeties!

Welcome back to the 
Day Three of the Release is always a fun day!
The Design Team shows you how easy it is to use the NEW release 
with some of the older PAPER SWEETIES stamps and Sweet Cuts. 

Here is my card:


I enjoyed making this card so much! So many textures!



I used the older PAPER SWEETIES stamp set and matching Sweet Cuts called Merry Christmas Y'all.


AND the older stamp set Basket Add On: Baked with Love stamp and matching Sweet Cuts.




The sentiment and packages in the truck are from our NEW RELEASE



I stamped the images onto Bristol card stock and colored them with Zig Real Color markers.
The tree lights have been covered with Glossy Accents to make them look like glass globes. And the last thing I did was add lots of snow with Copic Opaque white gel, mixed with water.


As you can see, it is so easy and so much fun to mix and match the NEW RELEASE with the older PAPER SWEETIES stamps and Sweet Cuts together! 


Please hop along and see what the other 
 Design Team members have created!

Hello Sweeties!
It is Day Two for the




And I just am in love with these stamps and matching Sweet Cuts!

Here is my card for Day Two of the 
NOVEMBER 2019 RELEASE!

I used the darling house from an older PAPER SWEETIES stamp set called Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and created this fun autumn scene.
Once again, I used the masking technique to create the card. 
The background was sponged with some Distress ink, and all of the images were colored with Copic Markers.


Please hop along and see what the other Design Team members have created!



Please come back tomorrow for the PAPER SWEETIES Rewind and more inspiration for these darling new products!
