Paper Sweeties August 2016 New Release Sneak Peeks!


We are still celebrating this month!  It's Paper Sweeties 4th Birthday in August!  And today is the day you get to see some sneak peeks for the new Release!  Here is what I've made for you today (links to the awesome Paper Sweeties products I've used are at the end of my post):


I was so excited when I saw this month's release stamp and die sets!  So many awesome possibilities with the new Window and Window Elements sets!  As you'll see when you hop around to all of the DT's blogs, this set isn't just for windows, but I went full on window for all of my projects!  And I have so many more ideas for this one... and you are going to love ALL of the creations you see over the next few days because they are all very awesome!


So... stained glass is the effect I was going for here.  I stamped the flowers from Pretty Posies, masking off so I could layer them, in Versamark and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  Yeah... my powder is a little messy... stuck in places maybe I didn't intend, but as you know... I don't mind a little mess.  Perfect is not what I'm all about.  Then I used my Zig watercolor markers to color them in.


And for me I kept the rest pretty simple.  A cute sentiment from Sweetie Pie on a banner cut from Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts, some beautiful Creamsicle Seam Binding Ribbon, a premade paper flower and some pretty Robin Egg sequins...'cause sequins are awesome... especially these beautiful cupped flower shaped ones!

So thanks for stopping by today and be sure to come back tomorrow for the Release Party!  And you do not want to miss all of the great makes my DT teammates have created for your viewing pleasure so be sure to check them all out and leave some love!




AND You can't see these yet... but soon...


Have you played along with the Monthly Inspiration Challenge yet???  This is the month to start!  This month's prize is a $100 gift certificate to the Paper Sweeties Shop!!  Happy Birthday to you!!  Nothing to lose... awesomeness to gain!

JessicaLynnOriginal Military Brentwood Owl Release


Welcome to the launch of JessicaLynnOriginal.com's Brentwood Owl Military Home of the Brave Stamp Set! Here's a Sneak Peek:

We're having a whole day of fun events leading up to Jessica's Facebook Live Event on the JessicaLynnOriginal Facebook Page at 8pm!  More details on this at the end of my post but you don't want to miss it!

The Design Team has been taking turns today revealing our creations with this awesome new set.  And it must be at least 6:00pm Central Time if you are reading this because that's when it's my turn!  And here is what I created for you:


You know I love Brentwood... and this one is no exception!  Brentwood loves to write letters to those who bravely serve our country to let them know he's sending love and thanks!


For this one I went with more traditional green toned camoflauge and colors for my card.  A little silver for his owltags and lots of gold for the Gold Star Recipient!


I watercolored the background and when it was dry added some stars with a stencil and gold texture paste.


I thought Brentwood might look good in pink and I was right!  I know there are probably mixed feelings about the pink camoflauge, but I like it!


I basically used the same design and most of the same or similar elements but with a lot of pink.  I love using liquid glass on Brentwoods big beautiful eyes... feels like he's staring into my soul.


And I heat embossed this awesome sentiment in gold.  So true!


And this set is adorable for non military cards as well... I just love that little snail holding his cute envelope!  I made my background using the Military set and mixed in the flower from the Jam and Coffee Set.


Isn't he adorable???  And I added the stump from one of Jessica's planner sets, the All Season Planner Set... it was just what I needed to give this little guy a boost!


And that Miss You sentiment is in the new set!  I added the S.W.A.K. to the envelope.

So thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Jessica's Live Event on Facebook at 8pm Central!  That's 9pm Eastern, and 6pm Arizona Time and on the West Coast!  Don't miss it... See the full new set ... Also, there will be a Brentwood Military Stamp Set giveaway, coupon codes AND a Scavenger Hunt... the winner of that will receive a $25 Amazon Gift Certificate!  Did you know you can buy some JessicaLynnOriginal stamps on Amazon??

So Be There or Be Square!!  It's gonna be fun!

Paper Sweeties 4th Birthday Celebration!


Woo Hoo it's time to party!  August is Paper Sweeties 4th Birthday and we are celebrating in a big way with a special Blog Hop today!  We're being joined by past Paper Sweeties Design Team members and some special Guest Designers as well!  Hop along and visit each blog, leave some love, and get inspired!

Here is what I've created for you today (links to all of these fun Paper Sweeties products are included at the end of my post):


I had so much fun with this one!  I started with a kraft background, layered some pretty kraft colored music paper on it and then took a doily stencil, added some clear texture paste through it and while it was still wet, I sprinkled on some Doodlebug white glitter.  While that was drying I cut out all of my other shapes.


For my little shaker element, I used the presents in the Stitched Tags #3 Sweet Cuts set.  I cut two in that paper and used a little rectangle to cut the center out.. added some clear cardstock and some foam tape, inserted some Bubblegum and Frosting Sequins and a small amount of micro beads. 


Those pretty balloons are from the Party Time Stamp Set and Dies.  I cut the balloon part out of some design paper and cut the balloon strings out of vellum.


I added a little crocheted flower that I made, some squigglies cut from vellum, some leaves from the Party Time set and that gorgeous seam binding ribbon... my fave!  Of course I added a few more sequins around to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out all of the other creations we have for you today!  And don't forget to stop back on the 14th for the start of the New Release reveal... it's going to be an awesome one!!
