Paper Sweeties February Release Party

Yay!  It is RELEASE DAY at PAPER SWEETIES

Today is the day that all of the new stamps and sweet cuts are available at Paper Sweeties!

I hope you have enjoyed following along the last couple days as the Paper Sweeties Design Team has been sharing all of their projects leading up to release day!  Such gorgeous inspiration! 


Let's get right to my cards for today!  These are the first cards I made after receiving my design team package for this month.


I started by playing with the lovely "Pretty Posies" stamp set and stamping and cutting out lots of flowers in some spring time patterned papers!

For this card (below) I used the "Tea for Two" stamp set to create my teapot!  I paper pieced it mixing a Tilda floral pattern paper with some pink gingham.  I love the gingham details on the teapot! Wish I could find one like this in real life! LOL! 
The sentiment is also from the "Tea for Two" stamp set.  The adorable flower decorating the teapot is from the new set "Pretty Posies".  I stamped it twice - once each on the two papers and then fussy cut the center and popped it up for some dimension!  I added some stamped hearts from the "You are Tu-Tu Sweet" stamp set as I plan on using this for Valentine's Day and thought some heart-shaped steam coming out of the spout would add just the right touch!

My next card uses both of the new stamp/die sets being released this month:  "Pretty Posies" and "Garden Time"
 I created a lovely little pot of flowers to say "Thanks" with.  I added some Paper Sweeties "Marshmallow" and "Tuti-Fruiti" sequins to the center of the flowers to add some sparkle!  Here is a close-up......



And for my last card I decided to play with vellum!
I created what I think looks like a little cluster of "primrose" flowers which are just making their presence known in the nursery near my home!


  I heat-embossed the flowers using some "blush" zing embossing powder onto some card-stock weight vellum.  Then I fussy-cut them out (I didn't use the dies) and colored the back side of each flower center with copic markers. I heat-embossed the leaves in "cricket" zing embossing powder and fussy cut them too. The sentiment "Thinking of You" is from the "Occasions" stamp set. 

Well that is my trio of spring-themed cards for you today!  I now get to send you off to the lovely Jinny Newlin's blog...here is the whole link-list:
