PS Sparks – Happy Birthday!

June 16, 2013 at 9:01 pm · Filed under Birthday, Paper Smooches

I’m excited to be back with another week of Paper Smooches Sparks with 4 Cool Shades this week

And this week’s Cool Shades is yellow, mint, turquoise and green!

I used the light bulb from Freezy Fellas and stamped in repeatedly under the hand-stitched “strings” and coloured it in the cool shades colors. Then I finished the card off with a sentiment from Sentiment Sampler. Finally, a true one-layer card!

Here’s a close up of the light bulbs. I added some glossy accents to each light bulb to make them look a little more realistic

Runway Inspired Challenge #37

June 3, 2013 at 9:01 pm · Filed under Love, Paper Smooches, Runway Inspired Challenge

Hello!! Runway Inspired is back with Paper Smooches this week. Kim was very generous and gave each of us a set of Paper Smooches stamps to work with this week ♥

I love the bold red and black against the white dress so I stamped a line of circles vertically in red with the sentiments going horizontally in black.

(Used: Chit Chat, Alphadot)

I stamped the hearts five times on white cardstock, colored with copics and cut them out. After adhering it to the sentiment, I applied a thick coat of glossy accents on top.

So what are you waiting for? Come join us this week as we have an amazing prize from Paper Smooches!

Hello Butterfly

January 14, 2013 at 11:05 pm · Filed under Hello, Paper Smooches

Paper Smooches’ Sparks Challenge with a sketch challenge this week. I’m not really good with following sketches, but the design team’s inspiration was enough to get me started on the card this week.

And yay for a new stamp set During my short trip to Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, I went to one of Paper Smooches retailers in Hong Kong and found a lot of stamps from many manufacturers including Paper Smooches & Lawn Fawn. One of the stamp sets that I got was Flap Happy which is absolutely adorable!

I did a little something different. I stamped the sentiment with the butterfly resting on it and cut the sentiment and butterfly out, leaving the butterfly wings hollow as well.
