To Brighten Your Day

Hey, 'Fetti Fans!  Today I'm sharing a fun slimline card to, hopefully, brighten your day!

  
For my card, I blended inks to create a background.  I then stamped and colored several images from the Multi-Step Cacti stamp set and then cut them out with the coordinating Multi-Step Cacti Confetti Cuts.  The sweet little pup is from the adorable Corgi Cuties set and coordinating Corgi Cuties Confetti Cuts (say that three times fast)!

To finish, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Best Sentiments set onto Salsa cardstock and cut it out with one of the Three Tags Confetti Cuts.

I love cacti!  I'm told other plants need to be watered often and cacti can go awhile without water :)  A cactus is the only plant I can keep alive for any length of time!  My first card features the new Multi-Step Cacti which I created a fun 'rock' shaker using the Rounded Stitched Window die.  The new This Says It All sentiment set is really awesome!  I stamped one of the sentiments on one of the new Three Tags dies.

For my next card, I used the new Background Builder to create the fun background!  This set has several borders and circles to create endless backgrounds in whatever color you want!  I used these colors:  Avocado, Parakeet, Wine and Midnight.  Again,
I stamped one of the sentiments from the new This Says It All sentiment set on one of the new Three Tags die.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for MORE sneak peeks! 

Farewell, Paper Smooches!

In case you hadn't heard, Kim Mraz (owner) announced that Paper Smooches is retiring!  I was sooooo sad to hear this as I've been a fan of Paper Smooches for...well, forever!  Thankfully, the monthly Paper Smooches Monthly Challenge will continue and we can all share of love of Kim's wonderful products there.

Today, see a tribute to Paper Smooches on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

My card features two of my favorite (recent) Paper Smooches items:  Posh Planters and Fab Frames Die.  I think they have both sold out, but there are still many great items to get and they are on sale!

Thank you, Kim, for sharing your talents and providing awesome products for us the have fun creating with - we love you!!  Your designs will live forever!
