PMS Makeover Challenge - Thank You Card!

It is time for a new Paper Makeup Stamps Challenge! This one is called Thank You, we want to see your Thank You card creations!

For my card I decided to ink up Color Kids - Gift Wrapper. I thought that a card that could be a 'thank you' from a little kid for a gift they received over the holidays was what I wanted to create. Unfortunately I couldn't find any PMS Thank You sentiments (I know I have some!), so I decided to write 'Thank You!' like a little kid might, sort of skewed and uneven.

I hope that you get the chance to play along with us, you know you want to! Thank you for stopping by today, have a fabulous day!

This card was entered into the following challenges: Bows and Berries - Clean and Simple; iCopic Weekly Challenge - Thankful.
Stamps: Color Kid - Gift Wrapper from Paper Makeup Stamps; Paper: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Red Orange, Bo Bunny Prancer DP; Ink: E00 Skin White, Y11 Pale Yellow, R20 Blush, E08 Brown, B93 Light Crockery Blue; Accessories: Pop Dots, Grosgrain Ribbon, Scalloped Edge Punch

Paper Makeup Stamps - Release Day!

Today is release day at Paper Makeup Stamps! For my release day card I am using the adorable new Snowflake, part of our newest line of stamps Color Me Kids! I simply LOVE this line of stamps, they are all so darn cute!
I had a lot of fun with this cutie, I just love how sweet she is and the matching sentiment that come with her is just prefect, "there's snow one like you". I just love this stamp and I paired her with this fun winter line of designer paper from last winter that I still love called Wintertime from Echo Park. I thought that the stripes and the dots went so well together, I also pulled the colors from the designer paper out for both the main image and the layers. I found this pretty brown ribbon and used my circle Nestabilities to die cut the main image and then my SU! slot punch for the sentiment.

Be sure to head on over to the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog and check out the rest of the peeks for today! I do hope that you have a fabulous day!

Paper Makeup Stamps Sneek- Color it Winter Tags!

It's that time of the month again! Yes, it is time to kick of the Previews for the Paper Makeup Stamps November Stamp release! Have you heard?! On November 7th we will be releasing all sorts of wonderful stamps, and you are going to love them all! Today I get the pleasure of sneak peeking one of our newest stamp sets, Color it Winter Tags Set! You are going to love the whole release, I know that I do!

I had a lot of fun with this set and it is perfect for making all of your Christmas tags! I was going to wrap a present and add a tag that I made using this set (yes, I have some Christmas gifts already), but I started working with this set and it took on a life of it's own. I pulled out my Candy Cane Stripe Cuttlebug Embossing folder, some ribbon, and my scalloped edge punch and when I was done I had this card that I simply love! I think the tag is just perfect for this card and I love that I was able to cut out the little holly leaves and berries and add a bit of something to the tag itself.

Be sure to head on over to the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog and check out the rest of the peeks for today! I do hope that you have a fabulous day!

Photo Inspiration at Inky Impressions!

Good morning all! Today I get to share with you the card I created for the new Inky Impressions Challenge! This week is our challenge at the Inky Impressions Challenge Blog is to create a card using the below image as inspiration. I pulled the colors from this image and got to work.
Today the Inky Impressions Design Team will be sharing our creations for the current Inky Impressions Challenge! For my card today I decided to ink up Lili's First Day of School, isn't she just the sweetest! When I think fall I constantly think 'back to school' so I thought that a card that uses the colors from the inspirational image and the theme would work. I used some of this yummy gingham orange ribbon that I found in my stash (where has this been?!) and of course some shine too! I also used these fun Wonky Rectangles from Nestabilities for my main image.

I hope you like my take on the current Inky Impressions Challenge, be sure to join in on all the fun over at the Inky Impressions Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the Inklettes have created, they are sure to impress! I can’t wait to see what you create! Have a wonderful day all!
