Paper Sweeties November 2016 Rewind!

Hello! 
It is time to show how versatile the Paper Sweeties 
stamps and Sweet Cuts are! 




I used several different Paper Sweeties stamps and Sweet Cuts for this cute card!


First I die cut the tree from the 2015 MERRY & BRIGHT Sweet Cuts.




 I colored a string of lights from the BAKED WITH LOVE Stamp set with Copic Markers. I added Glossy Accents to each bulb. They look so real!


Next I stamped and colored the reindeer from the new JINGLE ALL THE WAY stamp set.

I think this turned out to be a very cute card!
I am having so much fun playing with these new stamps!

Paper Sweeties November 2016 Release Sneak Peek!

Hello my stampy friends!!!
I can NOT believe it is already November 14th! Thanksgiving is just around the corner! 
 And it is time for SNEAK PEEKS of the newest stamps and dies to be released here 
at PAPER SWEETIES ! 



I was tickled pink when I saw this release! So many adorable stamps and dies for the holidays!


 I started my card by stamping 3 reindeer from the new JINGLE ALL THE WAY stamps onto kraft paper. I then did some shading with Copic Markers. The sleigh was also colored with Copic Markers.
When the sleigh was dry, I added some Liquid Applique to the white area for some fun texture!


 For the background, I stamped some snowflakes from the new SWEET TREATS stamp set with Versamark ink onto a piece of white card stock. I heat embossed the snowflakes with some glittery embossing powder. I sponged this with Tumbled Glass Distress ink, and the snowflakes resisted the ink. This made such a pretty sky IRL! Next, I made a snowbank by fussy cutting a snow drift and adding some glitter to the edge. Lots of sparkle on this card!
I hope you will come back tomorrow to see another example of this adorable Paper Sweeties Release!

 And please visit my Paper Sweetie Teamies, too!

Card Concept Challenge #61



Hello my stampy friends!!! Welcome to another
Card Concept Challenge!

This time I fell in love with the pink & mint green colors of our inspiration board!

  
 I made a birthday card for a very good friend of mine. 


 She loves butterflies, so I started looking through my stamps and came across one of my favorites from Stampin Up...Watercolor Wings. I stamped two different butterflies with Distress inks and fussy cut them out.  Next, I die cut a vellum butterfly with the SU Butterflies Thinlits dies. I layered the butterflies together to make one big,beautiful butterfly!



 I used a newer favorite Stampin Up set...Swirly Bird for the background panel. I stamped and heat embossed the swirls with silver embossing powder.



I hope we have inspired you to join us here at 
The Card Concept!
We LOVE seeing your creations! 

Remember...the team is divided into the different styles and each designer explains how they were inspired by the challenge!  So come and join us and try your hand at a brand new "style" of card making OR work in your comfort zone! It is totally up to you!

Paper Sweeties November 2016 Inspiration Challenge

Hello my stampy friends!
Welcome to the November 2016 Inspiration Challenge
 here at PAPER SWEETIES!
We hope you will continue to play with us each month! 
It is so much fun seeing all of your wonderful creations!



Here is our beautiful Inspiration Board:


And here is my card...
I was inspired by the fall scene and the beautiful colors.


My card features the beautiful Paper Sweeties Gratitude stamp set.
I stamped the images with Black  Archival ink onto watercolor paper. I colored them with my Zig Clean Brush markers. Next I fussy cut them out.



I sponged the background with Weathered Wood and Bundled Sage Distress Inks. I added lots of splatters of white, Bundled Sage and Weathered Wood ink. When it was dry, I inked the sentiment.
After I adhered the pumpkin and hat, I added some shading underneath them with a light gray Copic Marker. Finally I added some beautiful Paper Sweetie sequins.
