Paper Smooches: April RECAP

Hello friends:) Happy birthday to my younger brother, Carrel!!!!!!!!! 

Today I'm sharing the Paper Smooches April projects that I made! 

Here's what I created this past month. I kind of went crazy with my journaling cards and cat stickers making over 15 mini-cards! LOL! It was super fun and highly recommended if you need to use up scraps or Project Life journaling cards:) 

Here's the stack of PS stamps/dies that I used for these mini-cards! Isn't it always funny that smaller cards or simple cards use the MOST supplies!?!? Well, that's always the case for me! LOL! 

That's it for me today but there are more creations and projects coming---- for example, TOMORROW, May 1st, I'm sharing 5 different cards that I created using Bella Blvd and Illustrated Faith goodies, as well as some Paper Smooches stamps/dies! I hope you will stop by their blog for more details! 

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

Paper Smooches challenge- March 2018 #1

Hello, friends:}

Today I'm sharing Trav's favorite card of all time (or so he says until the next card is made! LOL!). It's for the Paper Smooches March sketch challenge. 

I usually change the sketch a bit... I think I did a bit more this time around! LOL! Here's what I changed: I rotated it vertically, I made the top layer/rectangle the bottom layer and actually made it into a file tab, and I moved the "word" to the new top layer. Does it still fit the sketch?!! I think so😬😁 I used the following PS stamps/dies: Many Thanks, File Tab, and Thanks So Much. 

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a gift certificate to the PS store! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and play along:) 

THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

Technique Tuesday + SALE (day 3)

Hello, friends! 

Today is the last day for the Technique Tuesday's stamp and die sale so I'm sharing some easy cards to make using the TT Faith Opens the Door stamp set and Pray die set, which are part of this amazing sale! Details can be found below or on the TT website. 

Did you know Easter is on April 1st this year? That is only 3 weeks away. Hop on over to the TT website and blog to see all the Easter and Christian themed clear stamps, crafting dies, and digital cut files. These products will help you get a jump start on goody bags from the Easter bunny, cards, a spring-themed tablescape, or Bible journaling about one of Christianity's most important holidays.

SALE ends TONIGHT, March 13th at midnight. 

I decided to create three different types of cards that were fairly simple to make using the TT Faith Opens the Door stamp set and Pray die set. For this first mini card set, I wanted to use just white ink and glitter paper as the main statement. I paired a couple of sentiments from the stamp set with the dove die, which was a perfect match. 

The second card uses watercoloring and piecing together die cut sentiments as the main techniques. I wanted to make a sentiment that said, "Prayers for you" but after making "prayer" I realized that I didn't have the letter S! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Trav says that what resulted was a "happy accident". LOL 

The word "prayer" was created using the die "pray" twice (for the whole word and the letter R) and "rejoice" (for the letter E). 

My last card is my fav and was inspired by a published card back in 2008/9/? by Smitha Katti. It's very simple- stamping the flower image several times using tone on tone ink and paper, fussy cutting them out, layering them and adding a gem, and finishing the card with a stamped sentiment. That's the great thing about this final card-- you can use any sentiment under the flower trio! 

That's it for me today! Don't forget to stop by the TT website and do some shopping before the sale ends tonight. THANKS so much for stopping by and leaving some love! 

Be blessed ❤️
