Paper Sweeties September Release Sneak Peeks!



 

Hi Friends!
 
Welcome to another month of  sneak peeks for awesome *new* stamps/dies from Paper Sweeties!  Today,  I am highlighting the stamp set You Are Tu-Tu Sweet!
 
For, my card I started with a pink card base and paired it with Bazzill and Best Creation paper.  I used little Abigail with coordinating die and paper pieced her outfit.  She was colored with copics.  And, I added stickles to her hair bow, tu tu, slippers, and wand.  She is center stage and ready to put on a show for you!  I remember when my little sis was in ballet.  It was so much fun watching all the little girls in their gorgeous costumes dance around the stage!  So, if you have a ballerina in your life, this is the perfect stamp for you!:-)
 
Lots more inspiration to view from my teammates...Please hop along and have fun!

Thank you...

Hi there!

First of all, I want to comment on that it's a day of memory for those we have lost in regards to 9-11.  Thoughts and prayers are with the families.  May God bless our country and we thank all those who serve to help protect us and keep us safe!  Thank you!

Now onto my card...

 
 
I started with a white base and stamped the diagonal background with a new stamp, Studio G.  The bird stamp is from Hero Arts, which is new also.  I used distress inks on the bird and added an enamel dot for the eye.  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy.  All items on the card have never been used before.  Yeah!  This challenge helps me to find things in my craft room to use!  It's a great idea that Darnell has come up with this fun challenge.  So, I'm entering this card over at Darnell's NBUS Challenge!  I'm sure I'll be checking out her challenge again soon...thank you, Darnell!
Take care and have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Maria

Hi there!


Hi there!

This is my second post for the day.  Just popping in again to share with you a card that I made for the challenge over at Paper Smooches! 

And, here is my card...


I started with a brown card base and added Doodlebug paper.  I used distress inks for the next panel and sprayed with water.  I masked the sun and went over it with Tim Holtz distress inks(Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, and Barn Door).  The Paper Smooches trees and leaves were die cut and MFT glitter glaze was applied.  I gold embossed the PTI sentiment on vellum.  Gold sequins from Paper Sweeties for the final touch.
Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Maria
