Paper Smooches - Right as Rain

Inspired By Graphics on a Tissue Box

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Get Well card inspired by graphics on a tissue box created with Paper Smooches supplies.

With the Paper Smooches Flowers 2 die set, I cut the flowers and centers from SU Smoky Slate and white cardstock. I cut the leaves from SU Gorgeous Grape cardstock.
I adhered the centers to the blooms and the blooms and leaves to the FSJ Oatmeal Cookie rectangle panel with dot adhesive.
I heat-embossed the Lovely Thoughts sentiment on SU Gorgeous Grape cardstock and cut it with a circle die. I used a slightly larger die to cut a mat in white cardstock.
With the sentiment circle and blooms adhered to the card, I felt the card needed something more. I added 4mm clear droplets for texture and additional visual interest.
I added the assembled panel to a card base with a linen texture.

Paper Smooches Mason Jar Bouquet

Hello! Today I am sharing a Mason Jar bouquet created with a combination of Paper Smooches products. I recently purchased the Mason Jar die set; it has been on my list for a long time!

Here are the steps I took when I made this card, along with commentary:

I stamped the Botanical stems/floral sprays in Fizz and Aquamarine on patterned paper. I’m a big fan of orange and teal together.
I cut and assembled the Mason Jar. I’m all in on die cuts of any kind!
I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine black in on patterned paper and adhered the patterned paper pieces together. I really like the orange and white gingham paper.
I adhered the Mason Jar over the stamped floral pieces.
I die-cut flowers with the Flowers and Flowers 2 die sets from patterned paper. I added a white drop to their centers. The drop helped the flowers stand out.
When the flowers were dry, I attached them to the stamped stems/floral sprays with foam adhesive. Without the dimension from the foam adhesive, these flowers just blended into the stems/floral sprays.
I adhered a twine bow to the Mason Jar. This card needed texture and the twine gave it the right touch.

Paper Smooches – CAS Spring-themed Floral Bouquet

Hello! The sun is out here in the Pacific Northwest and the longer days are much appreciated. I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card featuring some favorite Paper Smooches dies – Dainty Flowers and Dainty Flowers 2.

I used one of the dies in the Lawn Fawn Rectangle set (3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″) to cut the panel behind the flowers from TE Confetti Cake cardstock.
The sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Carton Cuties stamp set was heat-embossed on Gina K Lagoon Blue cardtock (Gina K Autumn Rainbow pack) and cut with a Lawn Fawn banner die.
The flowers were cut from white cardstock, as well as, SU Pineapple Punch, SU Poppy Parade, Gina K Lagoon Blue (Gina K Autumn Rainbow pack), and Gina K Lucky Clover (2018 Add-On Collection). I attached the assembled flowers to the rectangle background and covered the bottoms of the stems with the sentiment banner.
I dry-embossed the white card base with the SU Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have an incredible day!

Paper Smooches Leprechaun

Hello! It’s hard to believe that March is just around the corner. I don’t have many occasions to make St. Patrick’s Day cards, but I couldn’t resist making one with a much-loved Paper Smooches stamp set A Magical Spring.

I paper pieced the leprechaun image with solid and patterned paper. It took some time, but I especially like the technique for the Paper Smooches images. I used a now-retired MFT Stamps die to create the frame on which I stamped the sentiment. I added clovers cut with a Taylored Expressions die set.
