Paper Sweeties June Release Rewind


Hello and Welcome to the "Release Rewind" for Paper Sweeties June 2015 release!

Were you able to shop yesterday for some of the wonderful new stamps and sweet cuts?  So many fun items to love!!!  This has been one of my favorite releases! There are just so many things you can do with these stamps and sweet cuts dies! Summer crafting here I come!

Release Rewind day is when the Design Team creates projects using the new stamp sets combined with any of the existing products in the Paper Sweeties store.

I have used several previous releases on my cards today:

Sweeties Stand Stamp Set
Upper Case Alpha Stamp Set
Jake Stamp Set / Jake Sweet Cuts
Sweetie Pie Stamp Set

I also used these new releases:
At the Beach Stamp Set
Surf's Up Stamp Set
Let's Go To The Beach Stamp Set


My first card is all about the ice cream bar stamp in the new "At the Beach" stamp set:

I decided to make an Ice Cream Stand and feature the ice cream bar!  I plan to give this sweet "ice cream" themed card to my son on his last day of school which believe it or not is today - June 16th!   Tim's favorite dessert is ice cream of almost any kind.  He loves to get "Fro-Yo" at a little place in our neighborhood and we have been getting it once a week in the unusually HOT Seattle weather we have been having!  It is a nice Friday afternoon treat after a long week of school!  I think he will love this card! And I plan to take him for ice cream today to celebrate his very last day of 4th grade!

My second card uses the beautiful hot air balloon in the "Let's Go To The Beach" stamp set. It is a scalloped circle card:
This is a 1 layer card but the masking of the balloons gives it some visual dimension I think.  I stamped the balloon that I colored in blue and yellow tones first.  Then I covered it with a mask and stamped the second balloon which I colored in pink and yellow tones.  I then used the balloon mask again to add in my clouds around the balloons.  The balloons are colored with Copic markers and I sponged some aqua ink around the balloons to fill in the background. The sentiment is from the "Sweetie Pie" stamp set.  A sprinkling of pretty yellow "cookie dough" sequins as well as a "cookie dough" twine bow finishes off this sweet card.  


There is more incredible Release Rewind Inspiration to be seen on the rest of the Design Team Members posts.  Here is today's link list:

  3. So, so fun and cute, Jill! I love the beachy feel and ice cream bar of your first card, and that hot air balloon shaped card is really fabulous, too. Love all your masked stamping on that one. Love that it's a one-layer card but still has all that amazing dimension!
