PMS Christmas Countdown...week 2

Paper Makeup Stamps is into week 2 of their countdown to Christmas! This weeks sale is free stamps! Yep! Every order will get a free sentiment! This sentiment will be perfect for just about any PMS card! On top of that, for every $10 you spend (in honor of the date, 10.10) you will get another free small quote or sentiment! You can make requests in the comment section of your order. New releases do not qualify for freebies.

Also, Paper Makeup's weekly challenge has been moved to FRIDAYS!  And their freebie wordart will now be posted on WEDNESDAY!  So...you need to check out the Paper Makeup Blog AT LEAST twice a week!

To remind you of...

Some of the other stamp companies I enjoy.  This one was made yesterday using the SCS sketch challenge 249. It was a classy layout...just up my alley!  Images from Sherrod Studio.

I made this a few days ago with a Starving Artistamp Doodle Factory set.  I crumpled the Cardstock and added some def inted leaves and stickles for shimmer.  Just like a true autumn tree!  I am sure that I will use this one for my neighbor some day soon!

PMSRP17...a RECIPE

Typically, recipe challenges give me the fits. But once I found the right combo of patterned papers and felt flowers, I was off and gluing!

foundation: Quote, large sentiment, or word art (as your focal point);

powder: Fall colors-themed (paper, ink, embellishments, etc.);

eyes: distressed look (paper, ink or tools as needed);

blush: use at least 3 layers;

lips: brads or eyelets (or something similar).

Again, use the Keyword:  PMSMC17 and be sure to link up on the PMS Blog.

Did you take the blog hop today?  Go through and collect letters as you leave comments on all the designers' blogs.  You will end up with a code for 15% off today's releases.  Not only that, but this week...until Friday...10% off of all the MONSTERS!  Did you see those awesome, awesome Halloween monsters on the PMS site?  They are way cool so get them with your new release order...and save on shipping!

PMSRP16...a CASE of Randee

Randee is our newest design team member for Paper Makeup.  Since this is her first release, we are honoring her by CASing her work! 

I liked how she used a nestie shape as a canvas in this card of hers!  Today, I just had to use Melody the Fairy as my cyber friend, Michelle came up with the concept of her.  Diem, the artist, nailed it too!

Head on over to Randee's blog and CASE one of her designs!  Be sure to use  the keyword:  PMSRP16 when uploading to online galleries.  And use Mr. Linky on the PMS company blog as well so we can see your card on the blog!

October Release and Blog hop...Paper Makeup Stamps

I'm SNOW HAPPY you are here today!  You should have come by way of Lisa M's blog.  If not, be sure to go to the beginning at the PMS blog so you can collect the letters for the 15% discount code on all new releases this month!

Because I live in Michigan, I definitely know snow.  These guys are simplified country cute!  This set, called Snow Happy, has a bunch of sentiments and some sensational snowflakes too! (Which is why the pix isn't the best...the sun was setting, it was raining and I was rushing to soccer practice!)

I used kraft, ruby red, mellow moss and vanilla CS.  A simple card with a cheerfully decorated inside as well...

Let's Get Steamy!!

The Corrosive Challenge Blog by Janet has presented a new theme for this week's challenge.  Tea and Coffee...which I stretched to Cocoa! (I do not drink tea and coffee.) 

Here is another simple project that would make an easy gift for bus drivers or garbage men or other workers who brave the elements during the year!  Basically it's a 4.25 x 11 folded into a pocket.  Decorate it as you wish!  This bear comes from a Starving Artistamps' Doodlefactory set. (For 10% off your order use Keyword:  savetenDM.)   I added a cocoa mix and chocolate reception sticks.  But...there are all sorts of drink mixes that you could use!  When uploading your work, be sure to use the Keywords:  CCJB32.
