Paper Sweeties October Release Countdown!

Welcome back as we countdown to release day!

I'm hi lighting a new set released tomorrow, called 'Stitched Tags #2'.

I used the mittens from Sweet Cuts Stitched Tags, 

and cut it first from designer paper, then cut the cuffs with white wool felt.

I stamped my sentiment (from another new set called The Reason for the Season),

in versamark and white embossing powder, on a strip of vellum.

Then colored the back side of the hearts with copics.

Here's a shot of the inside, all ready to send!

You're going to love this set! So versatile!

Be sure to come back tomorrow, Release Day, to see more inspiration!

Create Along With Us: October

Create Along With Us gives PTI fans a chance to

not only enjoy the fabulously talented designers at Papertrey,

but to try creating a project like theirs.

Practically impossible to choose just one!

But Nichole used a technique I wanted to try.

Such a neat framing look!

Stamps: Bells & Boughs, Peaceful Pinecones

Inks: Ripe Avocado, Limeaid Ice, Melon Berry

Hero Arts: Wet Cement

Cardstock: Stampers Select, Shimmer: Silver

If you look closely you'll see I didn't add her soft grey shadow to 

the greens. (sigh...) Too late when all was together! Oh well.

Warm Fuzzies

It's time for a new challenge at Tag You're It!

Just look at this adorable tag/card by Kelly.

I love working on a kraft bg, and Kelly's shiny snowy inspiration 

sets a perfect stage for her jolly Santa.

I brought out my Waltzingmouse robin stamp from Warm Fuzzies,

and copic colored him, finishing with a pom on his cap.

Stamped the bg with trees from Little Deer, and snowflakes from Warm Fuzzies.

Accented snowflakes, cardinal and heart with some shine from Wink of Stella, but not too

easy to photograph.

Can't wait to see what inspires you...

Christmas, the colors, her playful Santa and sentiment script?

Have fun, and Happy Tag Making!

Button and twine: PTI

MIM #226: Creating With Stripes

Creating with Stripes is our challenge with Laurie 

this week at Make It Monday.

I love all kinds of stripes, so this was especially fun to 

see what could be used to create a card with stripes.

The Herringbone stamp reminded me of diagonal stripes,

so that is my stripe background.

More stripes with the cover plate.

Paper Sweeties October 2015 Inspiration Challenge

October 1st marks the start of a new challenge at Paper Sweeties!

Just look at our inspiration...

Fall, Vintage, lace, pumpkin, what inspires you?

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I did a card with one of Paper Sweeties' dolls, Sophie.

Lots of PS stamp sets, and some paper piecing, and some lace on her poncho.

Just had to add some PS sequins, to look like leaves falling to the ground.

One more little item before I let you go, the pumpkins from Sweeties Wagon are not 

finished on the bottom, so I 'finished' them after stamping, with a black marker,

then fussy cut them.

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Don't forget to visit each designer for more inspiration, 

and a big welcome and congratulations to out Guest Designer this month,

Boo!

This week's MIM has Ashley showing us how to make 

boxes out of dies.

Wonderful sweet treats and decorations for the upcoming holidays!

Ashley's shaker used the candy corn die,

mine is with the Shaker Shapes: Pumpkin

The spine on the box was scored several times so it would rock slightly,

allowing the contents to shake up a bit.

Easy to do, hope to make several for the grandkids!
