Paper Sweeties March Release Countdown!

Hi, Friends!

Welcome to Release Countdown for Paper Sweeties!  Tomorrow is the day that you'll be able to purchase *new* March stamps/dies from Paper Sweeties!  I just LOVE the coffee themed stamps/dies this month!!!
 
Today, I like to share with you a card I made using the *new* stamp/die set Coffee, Yes Please!  Just like the sign says...I want to stay in my jammies all day, drink coffee and make cute stuff...hehehe...how fun!
 
I used the coffee cup, beans, and sentiment from the set.  Abigail is all set and ready to create for the day.  I paper pieced Abigail in her jammies using stamps from the set I Love You.  She is holding a card made with love.  It is from the Planner Series:Celebrate.  The table is from the set I'm Having Tea. And, her adorable little pet is lovingly at her side, which is from the set Sweeties Pets.  The dies used are Sweet Cuts-Abigail and Sweet Cuts-Coffee, Yes Please.
  
Hop along with the list below to see what my talented teammates created...have fun!



Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and enjoy your day! 

Hugs,
Maria

Paper Sweeties March Release Sneak Peeks!


 

Hi Friends!
 
Welcome to Paper Sweeties February Release Sneak Peeks!  Debbie has designed some wonderful stamps sets/dies to inspire you for those cards/projects that have a coffee/tea/cocoa theme!  I love having a good cup of coffee in the morning.  Sometimes you need a big cup of coffee to get you started...lol!  In the evening before bed I often have a hot cup of tea.  Either way...I hope these stamp sets this month inspire you to make some fun projects!
  
The *new* stamp set used on my card is But First, Coffee, which is the coffee cup and sentiment!  The coffee cup was die cut using Sweet Cuts-But First, Coffee.  Isn't that the cutest sentiment?!  Little Emma is peeking out the window at her Mommy, Sophie, who is chatting with a neighbor while drinking her cup of coffee!  They were die cut with coordinating dies.  Their outfits are from the stamp set Sweetie Pie.  The flowers are from the stamp set Thinking of You, which were colored with copics.  And, the fence was die cut using Sweet Cuts-Home Tweet Home
 
Ok, well I hope you take a peek at what the rest of the design team came up...have fun!

Happy Easter!


Hi, Friends!

Sorry I haven't been here in ages...whew!  Time does fly even when you're not having fun....ha!  I've been under the weather with bronchitis.  It started as a sinus infection and got worse.  I started antibiotics and cough syrup on Monday.  Last night was the first night I got a decent night's sleep since a week ago.  I have to be much better for this weekend since my husband turns the big "60"!  We will meet up with my son and go out to eat and to a hockey game.  I'm looking forward to having some fun!:-)

Anyways, the above Easter card I made for my friend, Peggi.  She loves tulips so I thought I'd incorporate them on the card.  All stamps are from Paper Sweeties.  I love the bright striped panel behind the water colored scene.  Twine and dots to finish off the card.

Well, that's all for now.  More Paper Sweeties projects will start this weekend, so please stay tuned.  Thanks so much for taking a peek at my card!  And, take good care for a lot of flu/colds, etc. is going around! 

Hugs,
Maria
