It's Pep Rally week and we are here today to share a sampling of the NEW Paper Smooches May/June release with you! FOUR new stamps and EIGHT new dies will be available to purchase at midnight on April 30th (eastern time) (12:01 am on May 1) You will find our new releases HERE!
For my card today, I used the new Congratulations word die:) This die is just the thing I needed to make a card for a friend of mine that is expecting. I'm sending off a gift and this card will go with it...
My friend is a prolific instagrammer, so I thought I'd use my Polaroid dies and Pip Squeak stamps. In my camera and word die cuts, I used some metallic silver paper. They totally look like they are made of brushed stainless steel (which I kinda love:). The Congratulations word die creates a really intricate die cut. For detailed cuts like this, I highly recommend the Xyron sticker maker. So much easier and cleaner than using a glue pen (which was the way I used to do it). Here's a closer look at those awesome die cuts!
Since Paper Smooches is working along side of Xyron adhesives this week, they have a special prize to offer one random winner as well. The prize is worth $100.

ReplyDeleteYou guys crack me up! This time I actually used silver paper (I know I even shocked myself):) I haven't given up the gold yet, but I thought silver may be better for cameras. Come to think of it though, a GOLD camera would be awesome!!!
