Paper and Such Challenge Time!!

Greetings Friends!!!  Today is a very fun day over at the Paper and Such Challenge Blog.  It's a brand new challenge, a favorite technique of mine, paper piecing!!  Come on over and join us!!! 

I've chosen to use the Paper and Such - Bitty Love set.  It's just so cute and lovely and was just waiting to be inked up!  I used a bunch of delicious scraps that have been on my desk recently pulling in bright colors and fun patterns.  I inked the image with Momento ink and colored with my Copics.  I used my Sakura glitter pens for the tiny bee and honey on the top of the pot.  I paper pieced the label on the front of the jar for a tiny bit of extra dimension. 

This is such a sweet set and it's really so lovely and quick to create with!  I can't wait to slip this cutie into one of my kiddies lunchboxes this week! 

See you tomorrow, here at Paper Canteen, with more fun posts!!

Paper and Such - A Fun And Simple Creation

Greetings Paper and Such Fans!  I'm here with you today to bring you a sweet and simple card using a newly released set from Paper and Such called Bitty Love. 

 I snipped apart the sentiment 'you rule!' from the ruler itself. 

I then stamped the ruler five times using black Momento ink and then took the sentiment and stamped it inside the ruler image.  I then very carefully trimmed them out and added a micro-brad to each one.  I pulled out some of my very favorite teacher paper, matted with yellow cardstock.  I stitched around the edges and added it to my skinny Kraft cardbase.  My cardbase measures 5.5"x3".  I adhered my rulers with three dimensional foam adhesive for some added oomph!  I tied a nice fluffy bow using red Grosgrain stitched ribbon and voila...my card front was done.

For my interior, I used simple graph paper - yes, the kind you can buy at your local office supply store.  I stamped it with another amazing sentiment from this set.  I then stamped another ruler image to tie it in with the card front.  I again, matted my paper with bright yellow cardstock and adhered it all together.


I hope you've enjoyed my simple and fun creation!


Thanks for coming by!

Paper and Such Sneak Peeks - Bitty Love!

Greetings friends!!  I'm thrilled to be here with you sneak peeking the upcoming new releases for Paper and Such.  There are three new sets being released next Monday, January 9th.

Today I'm sneaking a super cute set called Bitty Love that will be PERFECT for all of the sweet Valentine's in your life.  This upcoming set has adorable images, fun sentiments with simple and crisp lines that make creating a snap!

I am using just one of four images and sentiments today keeping my card crisp and colorful.  I stamped the adorable apple with Momento ink and colored my image with my Copics.  I trimmed it out and added it to my card front using papers from MME.

I stamped my sentiment on the interior balancing the chevron paper with the clean and simple circular layer.  Wait till you see the rest of the set!  So cute!!

Thanks so much for popping by today!  I hope you've enjoyed and been inspired!!

With many wintery Hugs!
Meredith
