Paper Smooches You’re Swell

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS friendship card featuring Paper Smooches supplies. I have created similar cards in the past using a now-retired My Favorite Things die that cuts a three-circle frame.

Paper Smooches You're Swell

  • My starting point for this card was the Echo Park Dive Into Summer patterned paper.
  • I cut the three-circle frame for the underwater scenes and sentiment.
  • I combined the Paper Smooches Water Wise and Ocean Scene die sets with the Surf and Turf sentiment, choosing colors for the ocean plants and the fish to tie in with the patterned paper colors.

Paper Smooches Thank YouI die-cut and assembled the flip flops and floral elements and added them to a SU Tempting Turquoise (now retired) card base, on which I had heat-embossed the sentiment.

The hot pink and orange color combination screams late 1960s summer to me!

I took my color cues from the colors on the floral patterned paper. The frame was cut from SU Island Indigo (now retired) and the sentiment stamped with matching ink.

Hello! Today I am sharing a birthday card, created with Paper Smooches supplies, which is on its way to a friend who is an avid gardener. I am entering this card into the latest Paper Smooches Challenge, whose theme is Anything Goes.

Paper Smooches Birthday Wishes

  • I die-cut the daisies with the Sunflower die.
  • I glued the daisies on to light blue paper and trimmed the panel. The panel was sized to fit behind the Polaroid die-cut.
  • I added the Polaroid frame on which I stamped the sentiment.
  • For whimsy and additional detail, I added a bee!
  • I added the Polaroid panel to a dry-embossed background (SU Island Indigo cardstock, now retired, embossed with the Taylored Expressions Burlap folder).

Paper Smooches – Sunflowers

Hello! I created another card for the current Paper Smooches challenge whose theme is HAPPY. Shades of yellow and orange paired with teal, as well as sunflowers, make me happy!

Paper Smooches - Sunflowers

  • I cut the sunflowers from cardstock in shades of yellow and orange. I cut their centers from a brown linen-textured cardstock, which I backed with white cardstock.
  • I glued the assembled flowers on to a teal cardstock background.
  • I trimmed the flowers that overlapped the background and adhered a white cardstock frame.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock, which I cut with a circle die.
  • I framed the sentiment with a circle cut from red-orange cardstock.
  • The sentiment circle was added with foam adhesive.
