Paper Sweeties March 2017 Inspiration Challenge



Hello everybody! Hope you are having as pretty weather as we are having right now! I just love these 72 degree days!!! I'm just praying we don't get a cold snap!  Because I'm ready for Spring! 

 It is time for a new Inspiration Challenge here at  PAPER SWEETIES!

PinkBlack And Bright Green!

I was immediately inspired by the pretty pink tulips and the black board in the picture.
The flowers are from the Paper Sweeties Pretty Posies stamp set. I stamped them with black Archival ink onto Bristol White smooth paper. I colored the flowers were Zig Clean Brush markers and a water brush. Next I cut thin strips of green card stock to make some long stems.  The silver swirls were die cut with Paper Sweeties Sweet Cut set-Sweet Borders.



The jar is Paper Sweeties Sweet Cut -Mason Jar. I die cut it with vellum paper and some silver foil paper. I fussy cut the top of the silver one and adhered it to the vellum die cut. And then tied some black and white baker's twine around the top.
The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties Hello Friend stamp set. It was stamped onto another Sweet Cut from the Sweet Borders die set.
 I hope I have inspired you to want to join us this month! We love seeing your creations! You could be chosen to be a Guest Designer or win a $20 gift card to the Paper Sweeties Shoppe!

Paper Sweeties February 2017 Release Rewind!


Hello my stampy friends! 
Welcome to the Paper Sweeties REWIND Party!

It's time to show you how easy it is to mix the newest Paper Sweeties Stamps and Sweet Cuts with older releases to make all kinds of cards and projects!




My card today features lots of different Paper Sweetie stamps!


I thought it would be fun for the Easter Bunny to set up a stand to sell Easter Eggs!


All of my images were stamped onto Bristol white paper with Archival Ink. They were then colored with Zig Clean Brush markers. I added Glossy Accents and a clear Wink of Stella glitter pen for some fun accents!

Card Concept Challenge #67


Hello! 
It's time for a new challenge here at the Card Concept.





Every two weeks we post a new inspiration photo challenge.

Each designer chooses a different style of card to make!
All of the styles are explained HERE.
You can use any of the styles we have defined or create your own with a combination of styles.  This week I chose Shabby and Vintage.

  • the use of used, worn or inexpensive components to make stylish goods
  • distressed or sponged edges
  • old feel-antiqued
  • lots of embellishments
  • ribbons or lace
  • lots of layers

I was inspired by the rustic heart in the challenge photo



I began by creating my background. I sponged  Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress inks onto some Tim Holtz water color paper. I stamped different images onto the sponged panel.


I stamped and heat embossed three hearts with bronze embossing powder. I used my Prima Metallic watercolor cakes and added color to the centers of the hearts. They look really cool IRL. I attached the hearts to a piece of torn and sponged vellum. And finally added some twine and a tag.



I hope you will be inspired to join us here at 
The Card Concept!
