Paper Sweeties July Release Party!


It's July 15th,
and that means, Paper Sweeties July Release Day!
2 new stamp sets, and 2 new Dies to match!

My card features the new 'Wish' set,
first stamped, and then die cut in gold foil card stock.


Stars are from Sweet Cuts- Fun Shapes & Be Happy.
I recessed the aqua star, and backed it with aqua glitter.
Hope you like it!
Lots of stars to wish upon!
Don't forget to check out the other designers, and 
be sure to come back tomorrow for the rewind!

Paper Sweeties July Release Countdown!


July 15th is the day when the new Paper Sweeties 
stamps and dies are available to buy!
Tomorrow's the day!

Today's card features a new stamp & die set called 'Wish'.


I love the large words in script, along with sentiments to complete,
and know I'll use them often!
'You' is a partial, selectively stamped word, from 'you to pieces'.
The sweet butterfly is paper pieced. Pretty Posies rose, paper pieced as well.
The bg is stamped repeatedly with the word Love in soft grey,
and Cotton Candy twine and Paper Sweeties sequins complete.

I added the butterfly and leafy sprig from another new set, Be Happy.
