Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing a card I created using new dies and new patterned paper now available from Paper Smooches.  (It was super easy!)

I started with a woodgrain pattern from new Rainbow Sherbet paper pad. There are such pretty shades in the pack. I used the woodgrain for the background and the included corresponding solids for the Bitty Bows. Before adhering the bows, I used the single strip die from new Stitch Builders to die-cut holes for stitching. Once die-cut, I stitched using matching DMC thread.

Bows were adhered only in the centers, leaving the “loops” and ends to lift for a bit of dimension. In the center of each bow I adhered a solid Goosebump from Queen & Company. They are no longer in the store but there are other Goosebumps from which to choose. They’re all very pretty and sparkly. Any would work with this design. I don’t see this particular Happy Birthday die in the Paper Smooches store but this one would work just as well.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Hello everyone! I have something a bit different today with very little stamping. I created a dreamcatcher on a card using Paper Smooches‘ new Charms dies, Vanilla Verbage, a Flaunters die and pretty new Rainbow Sherbet patterned paper.

I first layered a few Flaunters die-cuts (scalloped circles) to use as a frame. I laid the stacked dies on my Rainbow Sherbet paper and using the scallops as a guide, I poked holes in a circle shape. Coming up from the back with white string threaded onto a needle (I’ll call that Hole A), I counted over six holes then inserted the needle into that hole (Hole B). I then came up in the hole next to Hole A and back down into the hole just past Hole B. continuing all the way around in this pattern until the design was complete. I secured the ends on the back with double-sided tape.

After adhering the Flaunters frame, I die-cut the feather charms from cooresponding patterned paper and stamped the simple sentiment using black ink.

It was so easy, and I think it’s cute too.  🙂  You can find all of Paper Smooches’ latest release HERE.  Thanks for visiting today!

My card came together very quickly! I used a panel from new Rainbow Sherbet paper pack (isn’t it pretty?), You are Awesome & Amazing dies and new Stitch Builder dies.

Before adhering the sentiment to the diagonal panel, I die-cut rows of holes for stitching then used my DMC thread to stitch a border.  As a finishing touch, I adhered tiny hearts to each side of the die-cut sentiment.

I’ve always been mesmerized by sunflowers. The blooms are so very large and heavy, it seems they wouldn’t be able to stand upright at all yet they do. I think they’re the perfect flower to send thoughts of encouragement or support.

The new Sunflower dies from Paper Smooches are lovely. The set includes two flower sizes, two styles of leaves and the flower centers. (Die-cutting tip: Use a thin metal shim for crisp clean cuts and embossed detail.) I cut thin strips of green card stock to create the stems.

The sentiment is from new Feel Better Sampler. The set includes 14 sentiments which can be used on the outside as well as the inside of a card. It’s a *great* set.  Highly recommend.  🙂

Hi everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using Paper Smooches‘ new Botanical stencil and Thinking of You die. It’s spring in November!  (Not really, just in card maker world.)

This was very easy to create. I first blocked off  two inches of the center section using Post It Tape then used the stencil and blending tool to blend in each of the flowers and stems. I did all of the Guava first, then Pineapple, then the Granny Smith stems. The way the flowers are positioned on the stencil makes it easy to line everything up.

After die-cutting the sentiment, I added some dotted hightlights with a Kirarina Wink White Pearl pen, adhered with Multi Medium Matte and added a few sequins as a finishing touch.
