Paper Smooches: June 2019 RECAP

Hello friends:) 

Today I'm sharing the Paper Smooches June 2019 projects that I made! My friend, Jessica, thinks these creations are a bit different than what I normally make. My thoughts: It's because I didn't use much patterned paper {my fav}!!! I don't think I've made this many cards using plain watercolor paper or cardstock. So... yup! These are different! LOL! 

Here's what I created using PS stamps and dies.

Inspired by THIS graphic- everyone loves this card! LOL! 

Inspired by THIS graphic- I hope you can tell that her hair (sunshine rays) have been combed out on one side. She's got messy hair on the right side of her face; regardless she's choosing to shine! LOL! 

I hope you stop by the PS blog to check out the PS DT projects- there's inspiration shared DAILY! 

That's it for me today but there are more creations and projects coming! Be on the lookout for our July 2019 blog hop and sneak peeks starting July 6th. Leave some love and you could WIN some goodies! 

Thanks for stopping by ❤️   I hope you have a blessed day!

Today I'm sharing a fun and colorful card using the NEW PS Cuppa Sunshine dies stamp set.

I don't think I know how to watercolor well... but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out on this design. I channeled my inner Samantha Mann (LOVE her) and used a black/white washi tape on the side. I used some American Crafts Creative Devotions crayon markers for my color- pastel and super fun! I used two special techniques: 1) dry embossing and 2) stamping on dry embossed image- not easy unless you have your Sweet Petunia Misti!

I used the following Paper Smooches stamps/dies: Sunnyville (available June 7), Cyber Cafe, Rainbow dies, and Cuppa Sunshine dies (available June 7).

Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love along the hop:) 

That's it for me today- THANK YOU so much for stopping by! Be blessed ❤️
