Paper Smooches Congrats…

_MG_6632

I needed a baby shower card and the gal loves purple and monsters!  Just so happened that the Paper Smooches Little Fella set showed up in my mailbox, just in time!  I was inspired by this gal’s card HERE… so creative and fun!

I’m going to link up to the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge… this week, it’s the Picture Perfect challenge… well,  I followed it ‘loosely’!  When you see the picture, you’ll know why!  This is what happens sometimes,  you know!  Consequences! gotta love ’em!   lol

I stamped several monsters, cut, layered and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  ‘Congratulations’ is from the PS Sentiment Sampler.  I used the PS Alphadot set to stamp out the rest of the words on the front.  The stamps on the envelope are from the PS Birthday Sampler and PS Pip Squeaks sets.  On the inside I stamped a sentiment and bear from the PS Pip Squeaks set… it says, “to a super cute family”.  I forgot to take a picture of the inside.  Thought it was an adorable sentiment though! : )

I used my Perfect Layers Tools to cut the mats and a little bit of twine for the bow in her hair.

It was fun to do something unique…hope it was a hit!   Thanks for stopping by!  I’ll be back this week with some more cards for Printworks.  See you then!

I used the Sylvia Zet/Wee Stamps Angelica stamp.  So sweet!  love her and her wintery scene!  I stamped her on Papertrey Ink Select White card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch markers.

Sentiment from Hampton Arts and the postal cancellation is from Inkadinkado, both of them are old.  Sorry about that.

I used a couple older Magnolia stamps from the So Jolly collection @ Tilda’s Town. com, HERE and the snowflake DooHickeys die HERE.

I stamped on PTI card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Die cut the Fir in Snow image with Spellbinders rectangle die, left it in the die and embossed it.  Colored in the snowflakes with white gel pen.  Let them dry and then used Distress ink pads in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans, applied with the Ink Blending tool while the image was still in the die.  The Calendar stamp is colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Stardust stickles on the snowflake and circles.

The pattern paper is from SEI… two years ago, maybe three… who knows! lol  I purchased three sheets of it and I still have one left!  It’s so pretty.   Do you remember my House Mouse card?  I used it then too… it’s HERE… I loved this card.  Are you ever that way?  Every once in awhile I have a card I just love more than others… hehe   So, make that three years… the date of this post was 2009!  My how time flies!

I used my Perfect Paper Layering Tools… link over there on the right!  Yes, YOU need them… they are awesome!  : )   Use that Christmas cash! HOHOHO

Happy New Year to you dear stamping friends!  It’s been a great year and 2013 is looking even better!  Why? Because today our internet service was fixed!!!  I have been limping a long with less than stellar service for a couple years.  The last several months it’s progressively gotten worse until this last week it’s been less than 1 mbps when it’s supposed to be up to 15 mbps!!!   I am in shock today to be speeding along!  I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!  All that to say,  I hope I get around better this year!  I should!!!!

It’s a joy following and sharing this wonderful stamping and paper-art hobby with you!  Thanks again for a wonderful 2012 and looking forward to 2013!

Be sure to scroll down for the great sale at the Scrapping Center!  Trust me,  it’s amazing!  hehe

talk to you again soon!
