Paper Sweeties | September 2016 Release Sneak Peeks!

Posted on September 14, 2016 by Debbie Marcinkiewicz

Hello crafty friends -- welcome to day #1 of the September 2016 *NEW* product release here at Paper Sweeties! I hope you were inspired yesterday by the projects the Design Teamies and I shared using our *NEW* planner stamps and digital calendar pages! If you missed yesterday's festivities, click --> HERE <-- to check out all the creativity!

For today's sneak peek projects, I'm sharing a couple of cards I created using some of the new goodies which will be live in the boutique TOMORROW — (Click on the photos for larger views!)

I used the *NEW* Thanks stamp set to create this pretty card along with our *NEW* Thankful Sweet Cuts set to die cut the yummy burlap leaves! We also will have a coordinating *NEW* Thanks Sweet Cuts set that will easily and quickly cut out the words 'thanks' and 'hugs' as well! I added a rouched patterned paper ruffle, a pretty paper flower, a stick pin and a couple of Sugar Sprinkles Sequins for a little pop of sparkle!

My second card was created using our *NEW* Thankful stamp set, coordinating Thankful Sweet Cuts die set and some pretty Cookie Dough Seam Binding for the bow! Aren't those die cut green and white gingham leaves the sweetest??!!

Please continue to hop along and visit our talented Design Team Contributors’ blogs to be inspired by their AMAZING projects:

Paper Sweeties Inspiration #36:

HOW will YOU be inspired this month -- colors, theme, shapes, patterns? I was inspired by the colors, theme, pumpkin and lace in this beautiful photo (CLICK on the photos for close up views):

I cut a pumpkin shape from kraft cardstock, embossed it with a script folder and then inked the raised print with cream paint to create a time-worn look. The leaves were die cut using the Bee Happy Sweet Cuts set, embossed with polka dots and inked with paint.

I die cut the tag using the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts die set and then stamped the sentiment and pumpkin image using the Give Thanks stamp set. I added a snipett of vintage lace trim, a bronze button and a pretty little Rusty Bell on top of the tag. To finish things off, I added some yummy Frosting Sequins for a little pop of sparkle!
