Welcome back to day 2 of our release festivities for Paper Sweeties May 2015 Release! Today I have two cards to share with you using a wonderful new stamp and sweet cuts set called "Happy". From this new set I used the "Sweet" word die to create my two birthday cards.
This first card started with inking a rainbow of colors onto a piece of white card stock. I then created a rounded panel and cut the word "Sweet" using the new Paper Sweeties "Happy" set which contains word dies for both the word "Happy" and "Sweet". The rest of the sentiment is from the "Occasions" stamp set. I actually cut apart the "Easter Wishes" sentiment and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment so that I could use the words "Birthday Wishes" together. I cut my clear stamps apart quite often so that I can have the versatility of creating additional combinations with the words that are available.
This picture shows the dimension I added by gluing two additional "Sweet" die cut words underneath the inked version. The word die cut actually pops up off the card which adds lots of dimension and interest.
I finished the card off with a sticker party hat and added a sweet "Marshmallow" sequin to the pom pom at the top. I love the way these sequins catch the light!
For my next card I decided to go with a floral theme...
I used the same "Sweet" die and sentiments as on the last card but went with a floral theme for my paper and embellishments. I tucked more of the "marshmallow" sequins in around my tiny paper flowers for a little bit of sparkle!
Once again I added two additional "Sweet" die cut words underneath the glitter card stock version to add dimension and interest to the card. This picture shows how the word sits slightly above the inlay area.
Well that is it for me but there is a lot more inspiration to see on today's blog hop. Here are links to everyone that is participating:
