Paper Makeup Stamps - Fairy Sneak Peeks

Happy Tuesday! I've got another sneak peek for you from Paper Makeup Stamps. Today we are sneaking the new Beautiful Day Fairies. There are two new ones plus another in the new January kit (which you'll see on Thursday) that you will fall in love with. I have Sasha the Skating Fairy to show you today. I don't say this too often, but I really love this card! I wasn't sure of its outcome while I was working on it, but once I added that velvet ric rac ribbon and flower, I just went "ahhhh!" Did that ever happen to you? I'm sure it did!


I took the colors of light pink, yellow, and peach from Mona's CR84FN color challenge. The colors just grabbed me...I've always loved peach. My bridesmaids wore peach in my wedding (it was the '90s!) and I just love that soft color. So I used blush blossom cardstock and ran it through the swirls folder and paired it with paper from Basic Grey's Porcelain paper pad. I colored Sasha accordingly.

The layout is from Jen del Muro's Sketch for You to Try. She's going to monthly sketches (which makes me sad, but I know it's difficult to keep up with weekly demands) and just LOVE her sketches. I used a new tool on this card that I've had but have not used. It's My Favorite Thing's Die-namics rolled flower die (they must be out of stock because I couldn't find it in their store). It took me a while to figure out how to use it, but I managed to get it right. I cut it out of the blush blossom cardstock and added a pearl in the middle. I also addes star dust stickles around it...so pretty! The ribbon was gifted to me by Bonnie Sharp and it's from Sharon Johnson's store.

I'm also entering this in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #15 to use something new and ribbon. Well, the die, the ribbon, and the Sasha fairy are all new!

You can see more sneak peeks on the PMS blog. Randee, Jami (our newest PMS DT member!), Lisa M, Maria, and Simonne are all posting today, so stop over to their blogs as well. Don't forget the new release will be available on Friday, January 7th. We're having our blog hop that day as well as our Release Party starting at 9:00 pm EST. We'd love for you to join us in the PMS forum for some fun!

Thanks for stopping in today!

Paper Makeup Stamps - Sneak Peek

The Paper Makeup Stamps sneak peeks began yesterday for the fabulous January release! You can check those out on the PMS blog. We've also gone to doing releases every other month. We have so many beautiful stamps in the store, so we are going to be featuring those on the off months. It's going to be a great year!

Today, the team is featuring the Sending My Love set. It's a very cute set perfect for those Valentines you'll be sending soon! I love this mailbox! So quick and easy to color up and put together! I don't know if you can tell, but I gave the mailbox some dimension by cutting out an extra heart and flag and adhering it with some dimensional silicone gel. I added star dust stickles for some sparkle and a few pearls in each corner. The sentiment is part of the set as well. I love this paper from October Afternoon! So pretty and feminine. The sketch is from this week's Just Us Girls challenge.

Stop by the PMS blog to see more of this set. Katie, Shaela, Tangii, Michelle, and Stephanie are also posting today so stop by their blogs. I'll be back tomorrow with another PMS sneak.

PMS Sneak Peek and Just Us Girls

Happy Saturday! Today is a two-for-one post! Paper Makeup Stamps is nearing its release tomorrow, and today we have one last sneak peek before the release. Today is also the Just Us Girls sketch challenge, so I've decided to combine the two! Paper Makeup Stamps is sneaking the new set called Christmas Cheer. It's a really cute set illustrated by our own Shaela Odd. There are a variety of winter/Christmas images included in the set. I'm using the Christmas tree on my card. I had to get creative with that flower image because I was using this tree! The image actually has a tree trunk, but I didn't ink up that part of the image. I paper pieced it with a piece of Jovial dp from Basic Grey. I used some pearls to mimic the stem in the sketch. I didn't have room on the bottom of the card for the three pearls, so I added them (plus one!) on the upper corner. The sentiment is from Little Moments sentiment set.

If you want to see more sneaks from the Paper Makeup Stamps DT, stop by the PMS blog. Also tomorrow is our blog hop, release day, and release party. The information is on my sidebar for times and places.

The JUGs girls also have some inspiration for you. And my good friend Cheryl Rowley is our Guest Designer for November! I'm so excited about this! She is an excellent crafter and has some fabulous creations on her blog, Cottage Creations. So stop by the JUGs blog to what the girls have for you!

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you tomorrow for the PMS blog hop!

Paper Makeup Stamps - Sneak Peeks Begin!

Today begins the first day of sneak peeks for Paper Makeup Stamps! We are sneaking some fabulous new holiday wordart today. Some great stuff!

Isn't this a beautiful sentiment? I wanted to go traditional with the colors...I think these are traditional! My starting point was this great paper from the Domestic Goddess Collection from Graphic 45 and the Sketch for You to Try from last week. I also used this beautiful seam binding I purchased from my friend Debbie Marcinkiewicz's Etsy store. I've never worked with it before, but it's so fun!

Stop by the PMS blog to see sneaks of what the other PMS girls have done! We're having sneaks for the next few days, then on Thursday, November 7, (release day) we have our blog hop all day and release party in the PMS forum. You are all invited to come and have some fun! Hope to see you then!

PMS Sneak - Moody for Chocolate

Hi everyone! Today is another sneak peek day for Paper Makeup Stamps. Have you been enjoying the sneaks so far? If you haven't seen them, stop by the PMS blog to check them out.

Today we are sneaking everything chocolate and diet related! Should those two words be in the same sentence? I have a new Moody girl which we are calling Moody for Chocolate.These Moody girls are so crazy to color! You can really use your imagination when coloring them! I couldn't make out what some of the things were that she is holding, but it didn't matter because I am the artist coloring it, right? No need to be intimidated! So I just colored in two shades of brown and two shades of pink. (I guess I'm in a pink and brown mood...my post yesterday used these colors, and I think I'm going to wear pink and brown to work today!) The sentiment is also new this month from a set called Weighing In. What an appropriately named set! I thought it would be fun to paper piece her sweater (I love paper piecing!) in a pattern, so I used a piece from Bittersweet by Basic Grey.

I used the Taylored Expressions sketch for this card. I just added the tag on the bottom for my really cute sentiment and flipped it.

Stop by the PMS blog and see more of our chocolate and diet themed sneaks. Katie has linked them to the DT blogs. Don't forget that tomorrow is our blog hop and release day. We'll be hopping all day starting at 7:00 am EST and partying in the evening at 9:00 pm EST in the PMS forum. We'd love for you to stop by.

Thanks for stopping by again today!

Paper Makeup Stamps - Sneak Peek

I can't believe that we are sneaking another release from Paper Makeup Stamps again! Where has the time gone? We went from summer to fall in 0 to 60!

Today we are sneaking the new fairies we are calling the School Fairies. I have the boy to peek today...he's just so handsome! He reminds me of an English schoolboy...think of Prince William and Prince Harry. I colored him to match this dp I just purchased this weekend. It's the Communique Collection from Graphic 45. I wanted an old-school or formal look to this card, and this paper was perfect. It also sort of reminds me of a Burberry pattern. The layout is from this week's SCS sketch. The red pieces were run through Canvas Impression plate from PTI and I just added the black pearls. The sentiment is also a new one this month.

The PMS DT has some other sneaks for you to see, so stop by the PMS blog to link up to their blogs. We also have a fun new Halloween Kit for purchase now. You can see examples of that one here, and you can purchase it here. This release will be available for purchase on Thursday, October 7.

PMS Sneak Peek Day 4

Happy Labor Day! I hope your day is going well and that you are spending it with family and friends! Today is the last day of peeks for the September Paper Makeup Stamps release.

I hope you enjoyed the new sentiment set called Nothing Left to Say that we released Saturday because we have another sentiment set being released. It's called Little Moments and here is a picture of all the "little" sentiments included in it.I just know this is going to be a go-to set in the future for me. There are so many uses for this set. I decided to make a winter card with the Let It Snow sentiment.

I need to get a head start on my holiday cards, so I used a set released last year called Snow Happy. This cute little snowman was the perfect match for the Let It Snow sentiment. I used retired Christmas Cocoa paper from SU as my inspiration. The sentiment was stamped three times: once in soft suede and twice in real red. The snowman was colored to match the dp with copic markers. I ruffled the ribbon by placing a piece of Scor-tape down, then tacked down the ribbon making ruffles along the way. The bling snowflakes are from Memory Box. Very simple and easy card to pull together.

The PMS Design Team has many cards using this set that you can see on the PMS blog. There are some contests going on over there, so make sure you check it out. Tomorrow all the new images and sets will be released, and we'll have our blog hop and release party in the PMS forum at 8:00 CST. Check out the release party button on my sidebar. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by again today, and enjoy your holiday!

PMS Sneak Peek Day 3

Hi everyone! Welcome back for day 2 of the Paper Makeup Stamps sneak peek of the September release. Today we are sneaking several images, including three fairies, two retro critters, and a few others. I have a new fairy to show you today called Chatty Cathy. Remember that doll? I don't think this fairy looks like her, but she is "chatting" on the phone!Isn't she just adorable? And look at that old-fashioned phone! I just had to add my little keychain phone that my grandmother gave me. She used to work at the phone company here in Buffalo, NY and she had a bunch of these to give away. I've kept mine all these years! I always wanted one of these princess phones as a kid. This was as close to it as I got!

Back to the card. The Martha Stewart punch sort of reminded me of a curly phone cord, so I used the punch around technique and created the square behind Chatty Cathy. The dp is SU's Rich Razzleberry. I also used Melon Mambo for the base. The ribbon is Crushed Curry dotted grosgrain, and I made an easy tailored bow. I cut the image using the out-of-the-box technique and colored it with copics. The sentiment is from the new set called When There's Nothing Left to Say, which was sneaked yesterday. Here is a picture of the entire set.Stop by the PMS blog because there are some contests going on. We have one more sneak tomorrow, then Tuesday, September 7 is our release day hop and release party in our PMS forum. You can see the details of that party on the release party button on m sidebar.

Thanks for stopping into today! See you tomorrow!

PMS Sneak Peek Day 2 and Just Us Girls - Sketch Challenge

It's the beginning of September and time for another Paper Makeup Stamps release! Do you love our new peek logo? Our Senior DT member Shaela Odd created it as well as the Release Party reminder button on my sidebar. Check out the PMS blog to see how you could win a $20 shopping spree at Paper Makeup Stamps for displaying the button on your blog!

Yesterday some of the girls sneaked the new PMS kit called Arelia's World of Make Believe. Check out the PMS blog for more information on that as well. Such a pretty kit this month!

Today also begins a new challenge over at Just Us Girls. Alicia came up with a great sketch. I used the sketch in conjuntion with a new sentiment set being released this month by PMS called When There's Nothing Left to Say. Here is a picture of all the sentiments in the set.Here's my card using two of the sentiments in the set.Since the sketch had a butterfly on it, I decided to use this sentiment. It reminded me of a butterfly, and I paired it with the Togetherness dp from Cosmo Cricket and this butterfly image from PMS called Color It Summer, which was released last month. It matched the dp so nicely.

That's it for my nice and easy card! So now I'm going to send you to two other blogs that you have to check out. First go to the PMS blog and drool over all over the peeks for this sentiment set, then go to the JUGs blog and drool again over what the JUGS DT did with this fab sketch! Make sure you stop by their personal blogs, too! They love hearing from you! Then we'd love for you to join our JUGs challenge. Who doesn't love a good sketch?

Hope you are going to enjoy this holiday weekend (before school starts...boo hoo) with family and friends! See you tomorrow with another PMS peek!

PMS Sneak Peek Day 4 - Color It Summer

This is going to be a quick post. It's 1:30 am when I'm writing this and I'm tired! I forgot to schedule this earlier! Ugghh!!

Today is the last day of peeks for the Paper Makeup Stamps August release. We have a new fab set called Color It Summer to share with you. It's a set that has various flowers, leaves, flower parts, and butterflies to create some great cards and/or scrap pages.

I was at Target today and saw a boxed set of cards that gave me the inspiration to create my card. Here is my inspiration.So I tried to create something that looked like this. How did I do?
I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to place the stems and leaves, then stamped the flowers on a scrap piece of paper and colored them with copics. I cut them out and placed them on the card. I did not use dimensionals...I just curled the edges of the petals a bit for dimension. I added star dust stickles to the centers. The sentiment is a freebie you get with your PMS order this month! The card is a 4" square. You can see more sneaks on the PMS blog.

Tomorrow is our blog hop and release party. The hop is all day and the party starts at 8:00 pm CST in the PMS forum. Remember our contest...if you put the PMS button (on my sidebar on the upper left) on your blog and comment on the PMS blog, you'll be entered to win the ENTIRE RELEASE!

Hope to see you tomorrow and thanks for stopping by today!
