Paper Sweeties | January 2021 Look Back Inspiration Day #2

 

I'm here with Paper Sweeties 

for the January 2021 Look Back Inspiration Day #2!!

One of my favorite stamp sets from Paper Sweeties is the Sea You Soon set! It has the absolute sweetest little sea creatures in it. The seahorse in the set is definitely my favorite.  I just love her little smile and sweet face.  I also added the funny little octopus because it's my second favorite creature in the set.

The sentiment is from the Mermaid Wishes stamp set and was perfect for this card!

For the finishing touch I added some beautiful Green Apple sequins.

I love how this card turned out and I hope you do too!

Make sure to hop around to all of the Paper Sweeties designer's blogs and see what they made for the January look back inspiration! Don't forget to check back tomorrow for the last day of the January Look Back Paper Sweeties Inspiration!

Mermaid Love

Hello again and welcome to another mer-mazing day on my blog! 

Today I am up on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog and I have a mer-mazing shaker card to share with you using the newly released stamp set Mermaid Hair. I just love 

that sweet mermaid and she literally 

looks good on any card you put her on.  Since my favorite type of card to make is a shaker card

I knew that's where she belonged.  For my sentiment I used the previously released 

Sofishticated stamp set.  Here are the details for my card.

Card Recipe

• Start with white A2 card base cut to 11 1/2" x 4 1/4" and fold in half at 5 1/2"
• Cut panel of Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock down to 5 1/4" x 4" and dry emboss with scalloped embossing folder.
• Sponge Distress Inks in 3 different colors over embossed panel in Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers, blending where colors overlap. Adhere embossed panel to base of card.
• Die cut scalloped rectangle frame for top of card and back with clear acetate. Once acetate is secure to back of frame, build up foam tape around frame border to house your shaker bits.
• (Optional step) Stamp, color and cut several fish from the Mermaid Hair stamp set and glue in place to embossed panel.  I always like some details not to move around on my shaker cards so they are always in view.
• Next pick out your favorite sequins and shaker bits for the inside of your window.  This is the fun part because you can be creative and pick out a fun assortment of sequins, sprinkles and other fun additions. Spread your mix on to the embossed panel towards the center so you can lay your frame down over the top. The sequins and sprinkles I used are from the Kat Scrappiness sequin shop. (Pink Flower Sprinkles, Purple Flower Sprinkles, Blue Flower Sprinkles, Baby Pink Confetti Mix and Pink Heart Confetti)
• Expose adhesive from foam tape and lay your frame down over the shaker bits making sure to center your frame over your embossed panel.
• Stamp, color and cut your sweet Mermaid and pop her up on foam tape towards the bottom corner of your card and stamp your sentiment from Sofishticated on to a white banner and adhere to top of card. I also added a few of the flower sprinkles from above to my Mermaid's hair for an extra fun touch!

Now try your own shaker card, they are so much fun to make and they are

even more fun to play with once they're put together!

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!

Mermaid Wishes

Sea You Soon

Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts

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!

Mermaid Wishes

Sea You Soon

Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts

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!

Paper Sweeties June 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends!

I'm so glad you've stopped by today because Paper Sweeties has 2 new stamp sets

with matching dies that I think you are going to fall in love with!

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 will all be available for purchase tomorrow in the Paper Sweeties shop.

Mermaid Wishes

Sea You Soon

Sea You Soon Sweet Cuts

I am so in love with these new sets! They have the sweetest images with dies to match.

The Sea You Soon set has 2 different fish, 1 octopus, 1 clam, 1 seahorse and 1 crab.

There are so many different ways to color them and the matching dies make cutting them

out a breeze!  The Mermaid Wishes stamp set has the cutest mermaid tail and swim suit

top and it fits perfectly on to any of the Sweeties Girls.

For my card today I decided to make a liquid shaker card.

I ran across a great video tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers the other day and it looked like

so much fun I thought I'd give it a try.  The theme of this new release was perfect for a 

liquid shaker card. The card uses hair gel to give it a watery look but I think I got a bit

carried away with the hair gel and added too much.

Here is a link to that YouTube video:

Liquid Shaker Card

Here is a closeup of the card and you can see how it has the look of a watery

backdrop. You can also see how it's almost overflowing, I also added glitter to the hair gel 

to give it a sparkly appearance.

I really had fun coloring up all of the fish and friends from the Sea You Soon stamp set 

with my Copic Markers and I just love how Emma looks in that sweet mermaid tail from 

Mermaid Wishes!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, don't forget to 

check back tomorrow for Release Day!

Make sure you visit all of the other New Release Team members blogs to 

see what they have created for the sneak peeks!
