{Paper Smooches} Get Well


This card features the Get Well 2 die, which will be available for purchase tonight when the January 2016 Release goes live! I die cut it from a panel, and added a strip of patterned paper from Kaisercraft's Shine Bright paper pad, plus black cardstock behind the sentiment to highlight it.


I die cut several Band Aids dies and arranged them down the card in rainbow order. I only added hearts to the centres of the bandaids where they overlapped the preceding bandaid so the previous colour wouldn't show through the cut-out.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

{Paper Smooches} Wish Big featuring Curls & Swirls


Today's card features another look at the soon-to-be-released Curls & Swirls stamp set. When I think of damasks or flourishes, I think of backgrounds and frames so I wanted to use it differently. One of the swirls reminded me of an explosion so I went through my stamps and found the rocket ship from Space Cadet. The mad scientist from Great Chemistry would've worked great, too.


I used the MISTI stamping tool and ombre inks to stamp both the exhaust plume and the mock planet, which I masked off, then sponged over with distress inks after stamping. After stamping the sentiment, I added glitter silver and black strips at the top of the card, popped up the rocket ship with foam tape and rounded the bottom right-hand corner.


Links for new release items will be added as soon as the products go live in stores.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
