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!

The background was sponged with some Distress ink, and all of the images were colored with Copic Markers.

The Card Concept Challenge #123-Thanksgiving Table

Hello my stampy friends!!!

Welcome to another 

Another beautiful inspiration board!

I was inspired by the pretty fall colors to 
create my Clean & Layered style card.


I started by masking a rectangle in the middle of the white panel. I then masked off the area around the rectangle with purple tape and sponged the inside with Tumbled Glass and Weathered Wood Distress inks. I just love how the background turned out.


Next, I die cut some leaves out of white card stock and colored them by sponging them with Carved Pumpkin, Aged Mahogany, Gathered Twigs and Vintage Photo Distress inks.


Finally, I stamped the sentiments.

The style of my card would be considered
CLEAN & LAYERED
~Clean lines
~Lots of Layers
~Designer papers, embossing
~Embellishments/accents
~Clean & Fresh looking
~Some colored images
~White space
