Paper Sweeties July 15, 2019-Release Party!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties Release Party!  Today is the day to purchase the two new stamp/die sets, Ahoy Matey and Beach Therapy!

Today, I am highlighting Beach Therapy.  I just love the lighthouse image!  I created a set of note cards for my sis for her birthday.

For my card, I started with a white card base and used broken china distress ink for the sky.  The lighthouse was water colored with zig markers.  Nuvo Drops(Morning Dew) was applied to the windows, starfish, and sand.  The star fish is from the set Mermaid Wishes, which was released last month.  The scalloped frame is from the set Sweet Cuts Oval Scallop Frames.

The sun is from the set Island Time and the sentiment is from the set Let's go to the Beach.  The waves are from the new set Beach Therapy.


I water colored a second version of the same lighthouse image.  The sky was made using Spiced Marmarlade, Spun Sugar, and Seedless Preserves distress inks.

Dies R Us Challenge-July 15, 2019 (Birthday)

Hi, Friends!

Welcome to the Dies R Us Challenge once again for July!  The theme is Birthday!

I have some Sue Wilson birthday die fun today since I recently purchased  the Frames and Tags-Birthday Party die.  It makes for the perfect birthday frame for my shaker card!

For my card, I started with a white card base and added a blue panel.  A Lawn Fawn zig zag panel was die cut using MFT paper.  I applied Nuvo Crystal Drops(Morning Dew) along with glitter for the Sue Wilson birthday die cut for more added fun!  White gel pen for interest on the balloons, gifts, sentiment, and cake.  SU red ribbon and dots for the final touch.

Another view of the card...

Paper Sweeties-July 14, 2019-Release Sneak Peeks!

Hi, friends!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties July Release Sneak Peeks!

Debbie is releasing two new stamp/die sets this month called Ahoy Matey and Beach Therapy!  Today, I am highlighting both sets.  Who is ready for some summer fun?!  I know I am!  These sets coordinate very well with the previously released sets that were released last month...Mermaid Wishes and Sea you soon!

For my card, I started with a white card base and paired it with Doodlebug paper.  The anchor, ship, and waves are from the new set Beach Therapy.  The sentiment is from the new set Ahoy Matey.  The anchor was die cut using Sweet Cuts-Beach Therapy and embossed.  A brad and twine for interest.  I haven't used brads in such a long time.  I couldn't even remember if I still had white brads, lol!

A view of the inside of the card...

I love the little smiling fish with bubbles for the inside of the card, which are from the set Ahoy Matey.  The sentiment is from the set Mermaid Wishes.

Happy Birthday!

Hi, there!

Happy 4th to you!  You plan on watching any fireworks?  We plan to watch them tonight.  Whatever you have planned stay safe and have fun!!

Just look at those yummy cupcakes...yummm!  It's near dinner here and I would just love to grab one of those from the inspiration photo.  They are so pretty, too!

  I wanted to try out a stencil that I recently purchased from Gina K Designs, which made for a lovely background on this card...

I'm entering this card over at Cupcake Inspirations.  I made this card for my friend, Barb, who has a birthday in a couple weeks.

For my card, I started with white card stock and used the Gina K stencil with distress inks of mustard seed, twisted citron, and cracked pistachio.  The flower image and sentiment is from Clearly Besotted. The image was water colored using zig markers. The frame is from MFT.  I know it's difficult to see, but for the finishing touch I applied Wink of Stella to the flower image and sentiment.  Dots to finish the card.

Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!
