The new release at Paper Smooches just went live this week on the website, so I thought I'd share some cards I made with the new goodies to kick off the weekend! My first card uses the new dies for the My Guy stamp set! I paired up the My Guy stamps and dies with a little Zoo Crew to make this fun card...
For this next card, I went girly and blingy with the new Deco Bag die. This card is the perfect size for a gift card or small favors. It's also perfect for making a quickie shaker card.
I die cut the deco bag in vellum and used scor-tape to put it together. I filled my shaker with lots of sequins and lots of glitter. I found this oversized hexagon shaped glitter at Michael's and it's perfect for shakers! To seal the top of the bag, I sewed on the die cut sentiment cut in metallic gold card stock. Love all the sparkle!
My last card uses the new Quotables dies. I love the scale of these dies! They fit across an A2 card and I love that they have left-facing and right-facing dies:) I die cut each speech bubble so that they all hook together like puzzle pieces.
I pretty much used every die in the set and paired them up with sentiments from a variety of sets (Hooties, Slang Gang, and ). Kim has designed such fun sentiments and I love mixing and matching them to make a totally custom sentiment:)

Love your fabulous projects, JJ! That giraffe cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I have to ask, where did that gold cardstock the "thanks" is cut out of come from? It's FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteChrissy, I got it from Michael's of all places:) I usually don't buy much there but I found this in the front where they keep single 12X12 sheets. With the glitter sheets:) I love it and haven't been able to find gold card stock that I like as much as this one.
DeleteLove these JJ! That giraffe is cracking me up on the first one, and I love the conversation going on in the last!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh Love your cards so much JJ :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards ROCK, Miss Lady!!
ReplyDeleteYou never seize to amaze me, JJ. Love the cards. Hmmm, I may just have to order those speech bubbles. I think I am addicted to speech bubbles lately.
ReplyDeleteFirst and third card make me giggle! So clever. And and the shaker card is awesome...perfect for party favors at celebrations requiring some confetti-throwing:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, JJ!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever, JJ! I love how you played with the deco bag and quotables dies so much! And your giraffe is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always so much fun to visit your blog ♥
These cards are all AWESOME!!! LOOOOVE them !!!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Can I ask you where at Michaels you got the glitter from? THANKS!!!
ReplyDeleteI found the glitter in the general craft supply aisle (not in the paper crafts area). They are in these bottles that have a pop open top kind of like spices. One side is regular glitter and the other is this hexagon glitter. I just got some more yesterday, lol! Love it!
DeleteLove, love, love!!! :)
ReplyDeleteoh my! The Giraffe card is so funny and cool!
ReplyDeleteFun, fun projects, JJ! That giraffe card is a hoot and I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, totally inspiring.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards love them all!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Wow! These speech bubbles are so funny!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Elisabeth
Brilliant cards! Each one of them is amazing. Love the new idea of the shaker card and the way you layered the speech bubbles in the third card is incredible, they fit together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteAmazing creations! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe best cards evah! ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet cards, JJ! Love the shaker filled with sparkles -- it will certainly bring smiles to the recipient! That giraffe...just funny! And you're so right about those speech bubble dies; they are such a perfect size. Great group of cards. Bev
ReplyDeleteThat giraffe made me laugh out loud!!! Great idea :0)
ReplyDeleteLOL, OMG, that giraffe card is so awesome! Love these, JJ!
ReplyDeleteNice job on all the cards. Love all of them. I will keep an eye on that hexagon glitter at Michael's. The sentiment you used in the giraffe card, is that part of a stamp set? I think it will be fun to add it to my collection. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTotally smiling here! Love the colors and how you fit everything together in a conversation perfectly!
