Three for Onesie!!!

Hello :0)
I'm popping in with some new baby cuteness at the start of this wet and wild weekend!!!

One of the Paper Smooches dies I just had to have was the Onesie because not only is it cute but it offers double value to us crafters by cutting a solid shape and an outline too...come and see :0)

By cutting a couple of onesie's from pink, blue and cream I could swap the positive and negative portions around to make three different cards...... the cute fish and star icons are from the Paper Smooches Sailboat die set. The card above has the designs inlaid into the cream panel...... it's quite easy and fun to do, just like a kiddies jigsaw puzzle :0)

I've stitched a curved washing line and made a couple of tiny pegs for added cuteness on the boy version :0)

The size of the die makes a perfect embellishment on it's own for a 4" square note card and of course you can add any type of embellishment to the Onesie..... if you have alphabet dies/stamps why noy add a monogram !!!

The sentiments I've used come from the sets Salutations and Sentiment Sampler (currently out of stock).

Thanks for stopping by :0)

Welcome baby girly

Hello.

My card today uses lots of Paper smooches products.

I was playing with the paint palette die and couldn't decide what to do when it hit me that i could just use the paint brush to make it look like the sentiment had just been painted.

I started by stamping the sentiment. 

I used Salutations, Word up, and Little lady.

I heat embossed the sentiment as i thought it would make it easier to add the glitter to the word "Baby".

I have ended up wearing most of the glitter! So think i will just use stickles from now on lol.

The hand that is holding the paint brush is from Helping hands. 

I stamped, cut then added a small cut in the card just above the top finger where the die cut paint brush just slides in.

Thanks for looking.

Trolley Towers!!

Hi there.... Jenny here, hopefully at the start of a sunny Bank Holiday weekend!!

I'll say no more, I don't want tempt fate :0)

For my card today I've used the Paper Smooches Shopping Trolley die but 

I wanted to see what else I could do with it other than the obvious.

All those little squares and rectangles looked like windows to me and when I sliced up

the basket section it made a few great shaped buildings....

To give the windows a bit of glare I used a shimmery opaque vellum behind the buildings

and then added a few highlights with a white coloursoft pencil.

To add an extra pop of colour I used small enamel dots and drew in a string to turn them 

into balloons..... I'm thinking this could be for a New Job or New Home, hubby even suggested 

they look like school/uni buildings so possibly a new Graduate Card ???

Well that was fun... I love a bit of recycling!!

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by :0)

Sentiment from Paper Smooches 'Salutations'

Bright Reflections

Good Morning, Jenny here again so it must be the weekend :0)

My card today is inspired by a bright new bedding set I bought in the week.

I thought of Paper Smooches stamps the moment I saw it...does anyone else do that

when they're out shopping???

I started by matching up ink colours and pulling out my Paper Smooches Reflections stamp set

to make a patterned panel on Cream cardstock. I choose an area to die cut with

a square nestie and then used the 'next size up' square to make a thin frame.

The centre panel is raised up on foam inside the frame for a different look and 

 a simple banner sentiment made using the Salutations stamp set from Paper Smooches.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend :0)
