Paper Sweeties August Release Party

It's Finally HERE!  HAPPY RELEASE DAY WITH PAPER SWEETIES! Today is the BIG day!!!!  It is August 15th and that means all of the new Paper Sweeties products are available in the store right now! Hooray!  This is such a fun release!!!!!  I have not stopped creating with it since I received it!

Here are the sets that are being released today:



FOUR wonderful stamp sets and THREE sets of awesome Sweet Cuts Dies! 

I have a sweet card to share today featuring the cake from the new "Happy Cake Day" stamp and die set:


I tried my hand at some water coloring by using the "smooshing" technique on my background panel using my distress inks.  I made the panel on some Ranger water color paper and allowed it to dry overnight.  Then I added some pink "Fireworks" glitter spray in a few spots the next day.  In real life the background has a very pretty shimmer. Once everything was completely dry I embossed the background with my swiss dots embossing folder to add lots of texture.  The cake takes center stage on this card and a second embossed panel with hearts sets the tone for a wedding cake.  I plan on adding a beautiful wedding sentiment to the inside of the card.  A few marshmallow sequins add a little sparkle to finish the card off just right!


There is a lot more inspiration to be shared on my Paper Sweeties teammates blogs:


I hope you will come back tomorrow for the release rewind where everyone will be sharing projects that combine these new sets with some of the existing Paper Sweeties stamps and dies.  I have a lot more to share with you including some non-card projects so I hope you will join all of us once again!

 Thanks for visiting me and leaving such sweet comments! I read each and every one! 
:) Jill
