Paper Sweeties June 2019 New Release Rewind!



Today is Release Rewind over on the Paper Sweeties blog and
this month they are releasing 2 new stamp sets and 1 new die set.
The first one is called Mermaid Wishes and the second one is called 
Sea You Soon with matching dies called Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts.
They are available for purchase in the Paper Sweeties shop!

For today's card I decided to do a little highlight coloring.  
I started with a kraft colored card base and layered some colorful Doodlebug 
patterned paper on it. The next layer is white card stock and I did some repeat 
stamping in black ink with the adorable fish from the Sea You Soon stamp set.
I made sure to stamp some of the fish off the page for a more random and organic
look.  I colored one of the fish in rainbow colors and popped him up over one of 
the black and white stamped images.  The rainbow fish really pops against all 
of the black and white.  I stamped a sentiment on kraft card stock and added a cluster
of balloons from the Hugs and Kisses stamp set and cut them out with the matching die
I really love how this card came out! Sometimes the simplest techniques have the biggest impact.

I hope you've enjoyed the new release over at Paper Sweeties this month,
I know the DT worked hard to bring you some adorable inspiration using the 
new products so make sure to visit each of them to see their projects!

Paper Sweeties June 2019 New Release Party



🎢You want Thing-A-Ma-Bobs? I got 20! But who cares, not big deal, I want more!🎢

Do those song lyrics ring a bell? When my oldest daughter was younger it was a daily
staple in my life! We watched The Little Mermaid a couple of times a day! 
Ok little secret, I LOVED THAT MOVIE! Anyway my card today 
is honoring Ariel the Mermaid and her 2 friends Flounder and Sebastian!

This month Paper Sweeties is releasing 2 new stamp sets and 1 new die set.
The first one is called Mermaid Wishes and the second one is called 
Sea You Soon with matching dies called Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts.
They are available for purchase today in the Paper Sweeties shop!

For my Little Mermaid inspired card I decided to use one of the Sweeties Girls
stamps.  Miss Madison was the perfect sweetheart to fill in for Ariel today with her 
flaming red hair! Her mermaid tail was made with the stamp from Mermaid Wishes.  I stamped her tail and top on to pretty patterned paper and hand cut them out. 
I used the Sea You Soon stamp set to color one of the fish stamps in Flounder colors 
and of course Sebastian the crab rounded out my trio of friends from the classic movie.
My background was stenciled on with 3 different colors of Distress Inks and I hand 
ripped some kraft color card stock for the sand.  I splattered brown ink on to the kraft
paper to make it look like more realistic sand.  The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped 
on to a rectangle die cut from the Rectangle Scalloped Frames die and after I trimmed
it, I glued it to the top of the sign die from the Basket Add On dies.

I'm having so much fun with this release and today you too can get your hands
on all of these goodies! I hope you hop along today and see what the rest of the design team
has made to inspire you! Make sure to check back tomorrow for Release Rewind Day
at Paper Sweeties, I have one more Mer-Mazing card to share with you!

Here's a list of all the DT and links to their blogs!
Enjoy!

Exciting Caffeinated News!!!!

Today is the day that I can finally share some exciting news 
I've been keeping to myself. 
Here is a new logo I've just acquired and I think it sums it up nicely!


I am thrilled and honored to be joining the Coffee Loving Cardmakers
Design Team! When Amy asked me to join the team I was so incredibly happy! 
I've been admiring the design team and all of their
caffeinated inspiration for quite some time now!
I've been enjoying taking part in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops and 
was fortunate to win a gift certificate to The Letter Lingo, one of
the super sponsors, for the most recent hop!
I bought the Tea-rrific Stamp Set with my gift certificate and 
I thought that this would be the perfect blog post 
to share the card I made with it!


I just love that little girl peeking out from behind her coffee cup!
I cut a piece of cream colored card stock out with the
Zig Zag Rectangle Dies by Kat Scrappiness and then 
I used the Tim Holtz coffee embossing folder to emboss that panel.
I stamped the sentiment on to a small Spellbinders tag die and finished 
it off with some twine!  A couple of Teal Jewels by the sentiment
for a little color and shine and my card was done!

Thanks for stopping by today to share in my good news!
I hope you'll follow the Coffee Loving Cardmakers if you don't already!
They have some amazing designers and incredible caffeinated inspiration
every day of the week!  I'll be sharing my cards every other Tuesday starting June 11th
on their blog so come visit me in "Lisa's ICU" (Intensive Coffee Unit)
to see my coffee loving projects!


Have a wonderfully caffeinated day!
I already am!
