Love You + A Fond Farewell

Before I start with today’s post, I want to say thank you to everyone who left comments on my last post and video. I’m sure that just about every card-maker goes through phases of feeling like their work isn’t “up to par” and feel like they’re in a slump, but after receiving all the love I did in the post, I feel like I’m back in the card-making game (so to speak). Thank you, sweet friends.

Today have another card to share featuring the Circle Sayings from the newest Simon Says Stamp release. I typically stick with A2 size cards, but I thought it would be fun to change it up a bit and create a shaped card. I obviously had to use the Falling Rain background again (because I’m obsessed with it at the moment).

As most of you know, I’m all about getting the most out of the stamp sets that I purchase, so I try to find unique occasions and uses for my stamps. Lately, I’ve been all about this little lion from the Cosmic Stars set from Mama Elephant. I have two other cards that I created with it recently and I cannot stop using it!

Once I was placing the animals, I realized it needed some more color, so I added a patch of grass using some watercolors. To finish it off, I adhered some Silver Star sequins and my favorite yellow chevron ribbon.

borderIt’s just days away from a new release (mark your calendars for May 1st) and I’ll be welcoming three new designers to the team. Sadly, that means it’s time to say a fond farewell to three very special gals- Maureen, Stacey and Leigh. These ladies have been so supportive of PPP and I’m grateful for all the love, encouragement and inspiration they’ve provided.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the announcement of the three new designers, along with a game that could win you a $50 PPP gift certificate! Thanks for spending some time with me today!

  11. I love this card, so adorable! Definitely thinking outside of the box–I never thought of doing a round card! I guess it would fit in a square envelope? Also love the bow! I can’t wait to see what new products you have in May (as I’m going to have to order some of that cute chevron ribbon now, lol!)

    1. I wrapped it around the middle of the card (like a normal card). It was just a little more time consuming to make sure I didn’t pull too tight and rip the card. :)

  13. Hi Paulina! This is one of my favorite cards you’ve made! I love it! I really enjoy seeing your cards AND TUTORIALS, and hope you do more of them! Your cards are on of a kind just like YOU!

  14. It is always sad when someone leaves the DT.
