Paper Sweeties March 2019 Release Rewind

It's time for the Release Rewind over at Paper Sweeties... today we're sharing some more makes using the new Get Well Stamp and Sweet Cuts Sets along with some of our old favorites!  And Since March is all about rainbows for me... I've created a Get Well Rainbow!

I've used the flower from Hello Spring, the rainbow from Somewhere Over The Rainbow and the Sun from Island Time and of course that adorable Square Scalloped Frame!

Rainbow and plaid... a plaid rainbow... this is my happy place!

I'm playing along with the Rainbow Challenge over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday and don't forget it's all rainbows at Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge this month!  I'm also playing along at Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge which is Whatever the Weather!

Thanks for stopping!  Now be sure to stop at these places and see what they've created for you!

Paper Sweeties March 2019 Release Party!

It's time for the Release Party over at Paper Sweeties!  The new Get Well Stamp and Sweet Cuts are now available in the shop!

Today I'm sharing with you a card using the new sets and I created a background using a couple previously released sets!  I used the leaves from the Bee Happy Stamp Set and my favorite flower from the Hello Spring Stamp Set.  I embossed them onto some watercolor paper.  Then I blended some distress oxides over the top.  I used the "lift" technique to then remove the color inside the stamped images... you just add a little water with a paint brush only to the area you want to remove or "lift" the color from and then blot it with a paper towel.  You can take as much or as little color away as you want.  Then when I removed some of the distress ink from inside my images, I filled them back in with the colors I wanted using my Zig markers along with a little bit of water.  Then when it was all done, I splattered some drops of water all over and blotted it with a paper towel and splattered a little gold Color Shine over the top.

Then I cut the Get Well die cuts once out of this pretty shimmery paper and two more times from white cardstock and stacked them together.  Then I embossed one of the sentiments from the Get Well stamp set onto black paper and added it.

And there you have it!  I'm playing along over at Double Trouble Challenges where the challenge this time around is Wearin O' The Green!  Create something with green as the main color and I met the twist with my gold splatters!  And Double Trouble is partnering with Heart2Heart Challenges and I'm linking up over there as well!

So! You can head over to the Paper Sweeties shop and order up your new sets right now!  And while you're waiting for that to come to your mailbox, you can check out these places and see what they've created for you today:

Paper Sweeties March 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks!

Welcome to the March 2019 New Release Sneak Peeks over at Paper Sweeties!  Today we're sharing some makes with the new Get Well Stamp Set and Sweet Cuts along with some other favorites from the Paper Sweeties Shop!

I created this loose plaid background using my Zig watercolor markers.  I first saw this over at Lori Hairston's Choux Choux Paper Art Blog and it's so much fun to make them!  I used watercolor paper, and wet my markers with water for the wider lines and used the side of the markers and used the tip and less water for the thin lines.  I didn't try to make them perfectly straight.  I love these because you can use whatever colors you want!  After I was done, I splattered some small water drops onto the background with a paintbrush and then soaked them up with a paper towel to soften it a bit.

Then I layered on all of the goodies.. that pretty Scallop Oval Frame, the sweet little flowers and leaves from the Hello Spring Stamp Set, and then that awesome Get Well sweet cut that I cut three times so I could stack them for a little dimension.  I stamped the sentiment from the Get Well Stamp Set on black cardstock with Versamark; heat embossed it in white, and fussy cut it out.  I like to do this when I don't want my sentiment to take up too much real estate on my card.

Lastly I added some sequins to the center of the flowers from the Latte Coffee sequins and scattered a few around on the card.

I'm playing along over at Cupcake Inspirations Plaid challenge!  You have a little time left to play along if you'd like!  I knew I had to... I mean... it's plaid!  My favorite color!

Thanks for stopping and be sure you check out what everyone else has made for you today!

Get Well Wishes with Craftin Desert Divas

Taking a (short) break from Valentines to work on this Get Well card... love these adorable bunny digis from Craftin Desert Divas!  I used the Get Well Bunny Digi.. no brainer for a get well card, right?  But then he looked so lonely sitting there in the grass all by himself and I had printed up a bunch of different digis in different sizes that I thought I might use on this or that and when I saw that cute little Bunny Heart Balloon sitting there I had made her the perfect size to accompany this cute fella... so I cut her and the basket out without the heart balloon... I think if I weren't feeling well, and someone brought me a basket with a bunny in it... I just might start to feel a little bit better!

I just love using these Wishful Thought Word Dies to add a sentiment... I didn't leave much room for this one...lol... but I like the dies because you can layer them on top of or below some of the other elements to help build your sentiment...and along with one of the other cute sentiment stamp sets like the Simply Said set it's easy to add... I love the sentiment Big Hugs because it goes with almost any kind of card and it's easy to find a spot for it... and of course I added my favorite shimmer sequins....

I just love these two together... that grass is from the Landscape 2 Dies and the background grassy hills I made using the Stitched Scallop dies... To get them to fit on that cloudy sky paper, I first cut my cloud paper using the largest Stitched Frame die and then I cut a piece of green using the same die... then I put it through again with the grass and scallops so that the edges would fit nicely on my background piece.. easy peasy!

And these balloons from the Party dies along with their pretty strings and bows... love them!  I love to wrap that loopy string around one of my elements and I love to cut them out of vellum...

I'm playing along with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 393... these beautiful springy colors and those pretty heart picks (that kinda look like little heart balloons) inspired me... it's a fun challenge and you should check it out!

And this little fella... I guess I think he's a fella 'cause he has no bow...lol!  Which reminds me of when I was pregnant with my youngest and I took my oldest with me to an ultrasound.  The tech told us she couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl... and when we got in the car my little one said to me... "Mommy... how come she couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl?  Was it because it went like this?!" and proceeded to place his hands over his face... because that's how you tell a boy from a girl, right?  By looking at their face?  especially if they are wearing a bow or a baseball cap ..lol... that was the short version...lol... but it was so cute and funny!

Here is the Cupcake Inspirations photo for this challenge.. so pretty!
