15 Aug Paper Sweeties: August *new* product RELEASE PARTY!
Yippiee … it’s FINALLY HERE! Today is a BIG, BIG … BIG day here at Paper Sweeties! First, today is Paper Sweeties’ official 1st BIRTHDAY! Exactly one year ago today, the first Paper Sweeties stamps were launched on our shiny and brand new website! Boy, what a fast and fun year it has been!
Next, my very sweet friend, Suzi, and I are beginning our excellent road trip adventure today — headed to Charlotte, NC for the amazing Creating Keepsakes Convention! I can’t thank my friend ‘enough’ for volunteering to go with me to help out in the booth this weekend … I am truly blessed with such wonderful, caring, generous and thoughtful friends! I just ‘know’ there will be a lot of giggling, late night girlie pajama parties, yummy meals out … and tons of CRAFY FUN this weekend! I’m looking forward to seeing many of the Paper Sweeties fans at the show … and can’t wait to make some new friends too! I’ll be back here next week to share photos from the show … stay tuned 🙂
I also have a group of gals that I stamp with each month attending the show for a girls’ weekend – Joanie, Megan, Martha and Cindy … what FUN we’ll all have together!!
The next BIG news is that today’s THE DAY … all of the NEW AUGUST STAMPS are now LIVE in the Paper Sweeties boutique! Let’s meet the newest members of our line up:
‘Celebrate’ – created especially for our 1st Birthday!
August Release Bundle – all five new sets at a 20% discount!
And … for our final BIG NEWS for today … ready, set, here we go! You asked for it and we listened! Paper Sweeties is pleased to introduce: SWEET CUTS … steel metal dies to coordinate with the Paper Sweeties acrylic stamps! Whooo hoooo! I’ve been keeping this little news under my hat for a couple weeks while all the logistics were worked out, but today’s the day I can finally share this exciting news with all of you! Today, for phase one of our steel metal die launch, we are introducing four Sweet Cuts metal dies to coordinate with the four paper dolls we currently offer – Abigail, Emma, Jake and Sophie!

Sweet Cuts dies will help you create fun cards, adorable scrapbook pages, sweet treats and pretty little gifts lickity split — stamp, cut, decorate and ENJOY! The Sweet Cuts dies are wonderful for little hands too — they allow for easy ‘mommy and me’ craft projects — no fussing cutting for little hands or asking mom to cut out for them!!
A big thank you to my crafty friend, Tina, for brainstorming with me on the naming these {sweet} dies 🙂
We are also offering each of the Sweet Cuts dies packaged in a BUNDLE with the coordinating acrylic stamp at a 20% savings! So, are YOU as excited as I am about the Sweet Cuts?? I got to play with them for the August release and ooohhh are they fun! Instead of fussing cutting the paper dolls, one quick crank through my Big Shot machine and viola – done! Easy peesy! LOVE!!!
So, let’s get to peeking at today’s inspiration projects ~
