Paper Sweeties hosts monthly challenges here on the blog! Each month on the 1st we will have a brand new inspiration board to help spark your creativity. You can enter as many times as you wish throughout the month — the more times you enter, the more chances you’ll have to win!
It’s as easy as 1-2-3 to create, share and win:
1. CREATE a NEW project based on the current inspiration board using any of your favorite crafty supplies — receive an EXTRA VOTE if you use something from Paper Sweeties such as a stamp, die or embellishment! If you don’t have any stamps from Paper Sweeties yet, we have some complimentary digital images for you to try out! Use this month’s board as a starting point for your project — be inspired by one or more of the colors, shapes, theme — anything goes!
2. POST a DIRECT LINK to your project in our link gallery below — please link to your project post (not your entire blog) so we can easily find your creation. You do not need to have a blog to enter — you can use any of our online galleries to upload your project: Flickr, Pinterest, Facebook or Splitcoast Stampers (keyword papersweeties)!
3. LINK back to this blog post so your readers can easily find us!
Our challenge will run for the entire month. You can play along as many times as you wish and combine with as many other challenges as you want! The challenges will end at 12 pm EST on the last day of each month. The new challenge and winner will be revealed on the 1st of each month!
Paper Sweeties Inspiration #31 – ‘Celebrate Mom’
HOW will YOU be inspired this month — colors, theme, sweet treats?? CLICK on the photos for enlarged views …
The little tea pot from the Tea For Two set is one of my favorite goodies to create with. For today’s card, I die cut the tea pot using pink & white gingham patterned paper and then die cut a heart in the center of the pot to create a fun shaker card! Shaker cards are so fun and trendy right now — the pretty flower-shaped, iridescent sequins from the Paper Sweeties boutique are perfect to add to a shaker card or on any project where you want to add a little sparkle and bling!
Stamp supply list: You are the most Wonderful
Die supply list: Tea For Two Sweet Cuts, Be Happy Sweet Cuts
Embellishment supply list: Frosting Sequins, Raspberry Sequins, Cotton Candy Sequins, Frosting Seam Binding
Please be sure to continue to hop along and be inspired by the rest of the Design Team projects today … and a happy Paper Sweeties WELCOME to our newest Design Team Contributor, Angel Johns:
