Paper Sweeties February Release Sneak Peeks!

 
 
Hi Friends!
 
It's time for the Paper Sweeties February Release Sneak Peeks!  Debbie has designed some wonderful sweet stamps sets/dies to inspire you for those cards/projects that have a caring touch!
  
The *new* stamp set used on my card is Thinking of You, which coordinates with the die Sweet Cuts-Thinking of You.  The heart on the label is from the stamp set released last month, which is With Love.  The label was placed over a heart embossed white panel.  Twine(Strawberry) and dots from Doodlebug were placed to finish the card.
 
Ok, well I hope you take a peek at what the rest of the design team came up...have fun!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-February 2016





 
 
Hi, there!
 
Debbie has designed a new set this month for your planner decorating, which is Planner Series: Celebrate!  This set is a must have to remind you of birthdays, parties, etc! 
 
Planner Series:  Celebrate
 

 
 
I stamped the new cake stamp on certain dates.  There is also balloons, party hat, and present. The set also comes with little envelope stamps to remind you to write a note or send out a card, etc.  I also used the Planner Series: Get your Craft On, Winter Sentiments, and Happy Icons that were released last month.  I colored Sophie with copics and die cut her with coordinating die Sweet Cuts-Sophie.  Her outfit is from the stamp set Have a Holly Jolly Holiday.  The small hearts next to Sophie are from the set Stand Add-on: Fresh Baked.  Isn't she cute all ready for Valentine's Day?
 
Please hop along and view some awesome planner inspiration from our Planner Team:

The new Planner Series: Celebrate stamp set will be available for purchase on February 15th!  How awesome to have a stamp instead of writing it all the time!  I'm having lots of fun decorating my 2016 planner!  Come join in on the fun!  I'm sure you'll just love these new planner stamps, too!
 
Thanks so much for dropping by!  Have fun decorating and organizing your planner!

Paper Sweeties February 2016 Inspiration Challenge!

Hi, Friends!

It's time once again for the Paper Sweeties Monthly Challenge!  I just love those pretty colors in the inspiration photo!  And, the sweet girl holding a little snowman she made...so CUTE!  A $20 gift certificate goes to one lucky winner of the challenge!  This is my second post for today, so please scroll down to see my cute love bug card made for Dies R Us Challenge!

And, here is my card for the Paper Sweeties Challenge...

 
 
For my card, I started with a pink card base.  I paired it with paper from Bazzill and the sparkly snowflake background is from Reminisce.  I colored Sophie with copics and die cut her with coordinating die Sweet Cuts-Sophie.  Her outfit is from the stamp set Let It Snow.  The snowflakes at the top are from the set Holly Days and die cut with Sweet Cuts-Holly Days. The little snowman is from the set Snow Time.   They were die cut with coordinating dies Sweet Cuts-Snow Time.  The sentiment and tiny hearts on the snowflakes and snowman are from the set Mason Jar.
 
Please hop along to see what my fellow teammates have created!  You won't be disappointed!
