Paper Smooches

Warm Hugs!

If you haven’t seen the whole new release from Paper Smooches yet, be sure to check it all out!! 🙂

Today I am using a couple little ditties to make this sweet little winter scene, perfect for my local landscape today! 🙂

I combined the new Scene Builder Stencil with the new Winter Greetings Stamps and Dies! It’s a match made in stampy heaven! 🙂

The cutie little snow peeps are from the new Winter Greetings Stamps and Dies  and I blended on lots of inks to create a sweet scene for them to hang in! 🙂 The best part is that background is all one layer, but all the blending from the ONE Scene Builder Stencil, gives it a great layered look easily and mailing friendly! 🙂
Gah, so cute! This new PS release is so Paper Smooches: ❤ !!

This NEW Paper Smooches release is available…and includes the new black and white paper!!

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Take care–Jill 🙂

i love you

Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing this cozy card with the new papers and new die from Paper Smooches January Release. Check out all the new products HERE! 🙂

Black and White and Red all over indeed! 🙂 Such a great new set of I Heart You dies (saying I Love You) with Kim’s fantastic whimsy handwriting! So many things to do with this little gem!

I die cut the sentiment out and matted it, adding it all to a die cut frame (using the Scallop Frame Dies) and the Half Moon Paper. The plaid is so fun and I love the cozy feel of this card. 🙂

Be sure to check out all of the NEW Paper Smooches release! ♥️

Missing You & A Congratulations!

Can you believe we are about to wrap up the decade?! Wow! So much to think about. 🙂 Almost too much! So let’s talk paper crafting, shall we? 🙂

Today I’m sharing this little cutie patootie card using a sentiment from the  Paper Smooches NEW RELEASE. Check out all the new fun HERE! 🙂

I combined the new sentiment set Vanilla Verbiage Stamps (& Dies) with an oldie but a goodie little critter from Santa Paws.  🙂
I colored the little mouse with Copics and kept the rest very simple. Sometimes this really conveys so much, doesn’t it? He’s so stinkin’ cute. The new Vanilla Verbiage set moved straight to my top of my PS faves….love how the sentiments are so uniquely arranged and designed. Kim is so good like that! 🙂
And speaking of these sentiments…Here’s another card I made using the same Vanilla Verbiage set with another new die set called Charms Dies. These are so fun and like no other die set I own! 🙂
This card also uses the previously released die from the Postage Stamp Dies. White and white and white is always a win with me. The simple pops of color make my CAS heart happy! 🙂

Be sure to check out all the NEW Paper Smooches release! ♥️

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great week!

Take care–Jill 🙂

You Are Awesome!

Happy Friday! I’m here today to share another new project from the  Paper Smooches NEW RELEASE. Check out all the goodness HERE! 🙂

I combined lots of new PS goodies: Stitch Builder Dies, You are Awesome dies, and Rainbow Sherbet Paper 🙂
If you haven’t seen the new paper from Paper Smooches and you like colors and rainbows and sherbet, you’re going to want to check it out. Just sayin’ 😉
I added a bunch of random and fun stitches on this card using floss. It’s quite fun to do while watching TV or sitting in the car. The trick is to have them pre die cut and ready to roll when you need them! 🙂

Simon Says Stamp: Love You More!

There is a New Release available over at Simon Says Stamp HERE–This release is called: Love You More! I used the new Wedding Rings dies HERE! Perfect for a wedding card, engagement or an anniversary celebration!! Or you can even use these in fun alternate ways! 😉

I cut all these strips and then weaved them through the die cut SSS Wedding Rings. This sentiment is a great one from the Paper Smooches set: New Beginnings 2. I added some score lines and stitching to polish it all off! 🙂

I thought this turned out quite sweet and really, it was pretty quick and simple to make overall.

A quick recap:

You can find the whole new release of Love You More HERE.

Thanks to Simon Says Stamp for having me along to celebrate another fun NEW release! Be sure to check it all out HERE!
