Paper Sweeties May 2020 Look Back Inspiration Day #2

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends!

There will not be a new release this month for Paper Sweeties, instead we will be doing a 

May 2020 Look Back Inspiration! This month we will be focusing on the Sweeties Dolls and Outfits!

We will have a MONTH LONG special:  BUY 3 DOLL AND/OR OUTFIT STAMP SETS GET ONE FREE!  (This sale does NOT include Sweet Cuts dies).  Customer must leave name of FREE set they want in comment section of order form on our website.  NO LIMIT to how many sets you can earn for FREE and you'll get 1 FREE stamp set for every 3 that you pay for.

For my card today I decided to use the Ahoy Matey stamp set for a fun card
using the Jake stamp set and dressed him up in the super cute pirate outfit
that comes with the set.  This set features a cool pirate outfit, 2 fun pirate hats,
one hook and sword to put in his hand and a really neat eye patch like a true pirate!
There's even a treasure chest and a fun pirate starfish to keep Jake company.

The second set I used is called 

Beach Therapy with matching dies called Beach Therapy Sweet Cuts.

This card was so much fun to make! I enjoyed dressing Jake up as a pirate and
creating a distressed style card around him!

I just love that sweet Jellyfish stamp from the brand new Beach Therapy
stamp set.  I stamped him out and colored with my Copic markers.  They look
great on the swirly embossed background.  I also made a cute border at the bottom of the
card with the little fishy from the Ahoy Matey stamp set.  I cut and colored 5 sweet
fish swimming through the coral reef stamp from the Beach Therapy stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I hope you enjoyed all of the inspiration from the new release, so much

nautical, piratey craftiness!

I decided to use that awesome ship stamp from Beach Therapy with
the cute little heart on the sail.  I just love how the sails look all colored up with my
Copic markers. I popped the ship up on the largest die from the
Sweet Cuts Circle Scallop Frames. I picked out some cute stripey patterened
paper for my background and I added the note in the bottle stamp from Ahoy Matey
to the sentiment. The sentiment is from the stamp set released last month
called Mermaid Wishes.

Simon Says: Add Some Texture

SSS Wednesday Challenge Add Some Texture

I love this week's challenge to add some texture to your project.  I knew I wanted to use a woodgrain embossing folder on the main card but the treasure map on the front wound up having it's own texture.  I didn't realize how much until I showed my son this card and he actually wanted to feel the map, he said it looked like leather.  That's when I knew it was the perfect project for this week's challenge.  I just love the little DeNami chickie stamps and their Pirate Chickie was just meant for this treasure map!  I used the Distressed Edges Rectangle dies from Kat Scrappiness for the map and I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Ground Espresso Distress Ink after I sprayed it with water and crumpled it up a few times.  

I used the SSS "Circle Friends" stamp set for the fun stitching lines and the Stitched Alpha Dies from Craftin Desert Divas for my "X" marks the spot embellishments.  The sentiment "Ahoy Matey" came from the Papertrey Ink stamp set "Out to Sea" and the banner and circle seal dies are from the 

Spellbinders "Hipster 1" dies.  

I actually made a list of how many companies products I used on this card just for fun and it came to 11.  I really enjoyed making this card and it turned out just like I wanted which is rare.  Sometimes the card ideas in my head don't actually make it to the card itself.  See you next week for another 

SSS Wednesday challenge!

Thanks for stopping by today.  

Have a great day, I already am!
