Paper Sweeties January Release Rewind

Hello Paper Sweeties Fans!  Today is the Paper Sweeties Release Rewind for January! Did you treat yourself to some of the lovely new Paper Sweeties products yesterday?  I cannot wait to see what you make with them! Happy Mail is my favorite kind of mail!  LOL!

Today I have some more lovely projects to share with you.  Today is the day that we combine the new stamp sets with some of the existing Paper Sweeties.  First I have some more inspiration using the adorable giraffe stamp....

These have got to be my favorite thing that I created for this release!  They are sweet little cupcake toppers created with the new "Bouncing Baby" stamp set!

 

 I used Debbie's lovely Robin Egg and Cotton Candy paper straws cut into thirds as the holder for each of these giraffe cupcake toppers.  To me it looks like they escaped from our local carousel at the Woodland Park Zoo here in Seattle.  I had a heck of a time keeping these delicious goodies safe from my son's hands so I could get a few pictures....after I finished taking pictures they disappeared rather quickly!  Way too tempting for a growing boy....and for me too! Yummy! 

Then there is this lovely gift bag and matching card.  This could be used for a baby shower or a small child's birthday party. 

The card has the sentiment "A Gift For You" from the "You're Invited" stamp set. 

Now for some creative combining of the new sets with some of the existing stamps and products from Paper Sweeties.....
How about a pink gingham elephant shaker card shown with those sweet giraffe-topped cupcakes?  I created it with some of the pretty Marshmallow and Cotton Candy Sequins that Debbie carries in her shop.  I also added some fun pink seed beads I had in my stash.

 Here is a closer view of the card....I love the sweet Paper Sweeties flower-shaped sequins with the beads! So cute!

The sweet pink gingham elephant is standing up for us and holding a hand-made sign that says "Wish" from the "You're invited" stamp set. I just stamped the word and then cut around it to make a sign shape.  Can you guess what she is standing on?  That is the bottom portion of the cupcake from Paper Sweeties set called "Sending Sweet Thoughts".  I turned it upside down and added a selectively inked star from "Party Time" to create a circus animal stand. I just love finding multiple uses for stamps!

Here is one last shot of everything I made for today's Paper Sweeties Release Rewind:

Over the Christmas holidays I had lots of crafty time and so enjoyed creating all of these fun items!  These new stamp sets are so wonderful!
