Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge-February 2017!








Hi, Friends!

It's time once again for the Paper Sweeties Monthly Challenge!   And, I'm excited to announce that the winner will be awarded a $25 gift certificate to the store!  You can make a project and be inspired by anything in the photo...anything goes! 

This is my second post for today, so please scroll down to see my card made for Dies R Us Challenge!  And, here is my fun shaker card for Paper Sweeties...



For my card, I was inspired by the gingham heart in the inspiration photo.  What a beautiful Valentine wreath.  I would love to have one like that hanging on my front door!  You can be inspired by anything in the photo, so please do join us!

I started with a red card base and paired it with gingham paper.  The heart is from the stamp set Pretty Posies.  And, the love sentiment is from the set Little Wishes.  I practiced at least two times before I stamped the love sentiment to get the spacing right around the heart.  The heart border was made using Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders.  For the sequin mix, I used  Strawberry, Marshmallow, and confetti hearts.  Ribbon Frosting and gems to finish the card.

Project Supplies:  




Please hop along and view more inspiration from my teammates...
