August Paper Makeup Stamps Blog Hop

Happy August!! Hard to believe the summer is coming to a close. School starts next week and soon we'll be back to our daily routine (I think I'm secretly looking forward to it :)

It's a non-release month at Paper Makeup Stamps but that doesn't mean we don't have some fun stuff to show you!! Actually it's one of my more favorite hops because we get to play with some oldie but goodies - and in my case some images that I LOVE but haven't played with before. If your coming from Michelle's blog then your in the right place! If not, then start back at PMS for all of the hop details.

This card uses images from the Home Matters set. The car is only available with the Digi Set version and I have been dying to play with it for a LONG time. So cute and so simple. I printed out tons of little cars so you may be seeing more of him in the future (wink)! The green part of the car is actually printed on colored PP and paper pieced. The tires, bumper and windshield were colored in with Copics, and I used half pearls for the headlights - what a cute and fun dimension they add!

Thanks for taking my little trip down PMS road!! There are still some more awesome creations to stop at so get going on your way to one of our newest design team members whose inside of her cards are just as beautiful as the out!! Shana Dahl

Enjoy the rest of your summer!!

Paper Makeup Stamps July Blog Hop

If you're hopping and came from Ginger's blog then you are in the right place. If not go to the PMS blog and start there! you won't want to miss any details because there is some fun stuff going on!

This card showcases one of three of the new frame stamps being released! Super fun! I used two other PMS images - the lips and sentiment to create a fun little "I'm sorry" card. I painted some pink shimmerz over the lips so they are nice and sparkly :0)

Remember the new release goes live tonight at the release party 8:00 p.m. CST. You can earn 15% off new release items by collecting letters to spell out the special discount code to use when placing your order.

So you want my letter?!?!?!?

PMS March Blog Hop!

It's time for another Paper Makeup Stamps release blog hop! If you didn't start at the beginning, go back to the PMS Blog and start there. If you're well on your way - well then this is a great way to start a Monday don't you think?

I got to play with a brand new Critter Cutie called Sally. All of these different "ewe" puns were going through my head, but I decided to go with a"fleece"pun instead. I created the sentiment on my computer and then printed it out on cardstock.

I created the Earth by cutting out a circle with my Nesties and then free hand drawing a couple of continents out of patterned paper. Although it doesnt look very realistic, I think I got the general idea across!

You've got one more stop on the hop, so take your letter and get moving! Be sure to stop by in the forum tonight at 8 P.M. CT for our release party. Lots of fun games and chit chat!

Your letter from me is N . . . Your next stop on the hop is Lisa McKinney.

Happy Hopping!

Things We Love

Paper Makeup Stamps is turning 2 years old! And to celebrate the occasion, the entire design team invited special crafters to play along in this hop. To see everyone involved, please go back to the Paper Makeup Stamps company blog for a master list as well as to enter yourself to win a super fabulous prize!

The theme for this months hop is "The Things We Love. I decided to make a card dedicated to what I love most . . .my family and friends. Just as the quote on this card states, my family and friends sustain me, they give me purpose and without them my life would be empty.

One of my friends is a super talented crafter and a coworker of mine. I love her quirky style and I was excited she was able to join us this month. I'm sure she will have something fun to share with you, so off you go to Tiffanys' blog. But don't forget to join us tonight in the forum for more fun!

Toodles and happy hopping!

Paper Makeup Stamps January Blog Hop

Happy New Year, Happy Blog Hop! If your coming from Dawns blog your in the right spot, if not go back to the PMS blog and start there!

I made a resolution to simplify this year. In all aspects of life. Too much clutter in my life right now ;0) So, in keeping with that motto, I made a simple card for the hop to showcase one of the two Moody's that are being released this month. This is Moody for France.

I actually like the way it turned out!! The entire card was made using items you can find in this months kit "Mon Cheri". I stamped Moody girl and the sentiment, Je taime, on a patterned piece of paper that came in the kit. I lightly colored Moody girls hat pink to tie in with the other pink writing on the paper. A pink bow and a strip from another piece of paper and that was it! I added some other pieces of patterned paper on the inside and this card was done!!

I know your eager to see what else the design team has created for you so I will quickly remind you to stop in at the release party for some fun and games. And don't foget to collect your letters to reveal your secret code that will save you 15%off the new release.

Your letter from me is "I"

Thanks for hopping, now off you go to one of our newer DT members with some amazing talent - Jami.

PMS November Blog Hop

It's here!! Are you ready for some serious eye candy!! The PMS DT have put together some awesome samples using this months new release. Hop on over to the PMS blog to start the journey, but if you've already done that and you're well on your way, well then here ya go . . .

I'm using the new sentiment "Christmas in the heart . . ." I couldn't decide if I wanted to go cute and simple or elegant/shabby chic, so I did BOTH!! What do you think? I love it that the sentiment is simple and generic enough to use on both cards. The first card uses the tree that is also being released this month. I just added a few heart stickers to coordinate with the sentiment. The second card uses a whole bunch of buttons I received from my MIL who in turn received them from her mom. So they are vintage to say the least! Guess who's getting this card for Christmas :0)

Having fun so far? Well then why don't you join us tonight at the PMS release party where the fun will continue. Katie promises this release will be packed with lots of freebies :0) It starts at 8:00 EST/7:00 CST in the PMS forum.

And I'm SURE you've been collecting your letters to reveal your secret code right? I've got not 1, but 2 letters to add to your list!! Double cards, double letters!!

T and Y are what you need to jot down before you hop on over to Sweet Miss Christi's blog who I'm sure has something fabulous to show you!!

Happy hopping, happy day :0)

I'm here to give you another look at the new School Girl Fairy that will be available at 9:00 p.m. tonight when the release goes live! I colored her with copics and paper pieced her skirt and matching backpack with the same DP as the scallops. Her plaid skirt and tie remind me of the uniforms I had to wear when I was in high school!! I wasn't that cute and the skirt is a little TOO short :0) The background paper is the Core Impressions cardstock from Cosmo Cricket. Love it! Just lightly sand the embossed images and a blackboard with letters magically appears!

Time again for another FABULOUS release from Paper Makeup Stamps!! I hope you have been enjoying the hop and peeks at all of the great images in this month's release. If you came from Elaine's blog then you are in the right spot!! My peek for you today is one of the new fairies being released Chatty Cathy paired up with a sentiment from the must have sentiment set When There's Nothing Left to Say . . .

I had so much fun making this card I couldn't stop with the front and had to use another sentiment from the When There's Nothing Left set for the inside as well!! I drew the phone template and then used Nesties for the circle parts. The cord is just a black pipecleaner that I wrapped around a pencil. If you're interested in the template let me know and I will send it to you.

Before you leave let me strongly encourage and remind you to join the release party tonight in the forum!! The party starts at 8:00 CST and there will games and prizes and challenges and just like Cathy . . . a LOT of chattiness going on :0)!!

HaPPy Birthday to You,

A surprise blog hop -who knew!!

We love ya, dear Katie,

May all your wishes come TRUE!!

If you came here from Maria's blog then you are in the right place. One more stop on PMS owner, Katie Cottons, birthday blog hop :0) Start from the beginning over at the PMS Blog to see all the birthday wishes all the way through. And when you're done, hop on over to Katie's blog and leave her some birthday wishes too!

A litttle about the card, it uses PMS's new floral Faith Hope Love silhouette set that was released this month. I first sponged the blue, then stamped the flowers and grass in black, then highlighted it with a white gel pen and finally, went over it with a Spica glitter pen. It really glitters IRL, but the camera wouldn't pick it up.

Today is my sister's 21st birthday too! So, happy birthday to you too Christi - Love ya!

I hope both of these amazing women have a truly splendiferous day!!

So now - on to your final stop on the Birthday Hop - Shaela!!

I'm so excited to introduce you to DUNCAN (as in Mr. Hines)!!

Isn't HE the sweetest?! I paired him with a coordinating sentiment that is also being released this month. I know you've seen some great apron stamped cards, but I decided to make an apron shaped card. I'm not sure Duncan could wear an apron however, he seems to be a little low waisted :0) .The template was created by super talented and my fav Anna Wight.

To stay with the vintage-y feel of the apron I used WE R Memory Keepers - Grandma's Kitchen paper -perfect. And the buttons are actually from my DH's grandma's stash!!

I'm sure you've heard it before, but the PMS release party is tonight in the forum, so stop on by for some fun. And don't forget to collect your letters along the hop to spell out your discount code.

If you haven't started from the top then go back to the PMS BLOG, lots of details on fun, fun, fun!!

I decided . . . that I couldn't decide . . . on my favorite PMS stamp that is!! Just too darn many to choose from. So instead, I chose to use the images that made me fall in love with PMS in the first place, my beloved monster buds - Argus, Dreck and Spike . . .And they're ready to celebrate too :0)


These guys just crack me up!! For the inside I used another fav image, Jerry. I actually thought he looked a little like Argus's little buddy. Maybe Argus didn't hold on tight enough (hee hee)!! The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the "Rats I forgot" set and the "get carried away!" came with Jerry (I just omitted the "don't"). Everyone deserves to get a little carried away on their b-day!!

So party hearty PMS style and collect your letters for 15% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER this week. And join us tonight in the forum for lots of other fun stuff!
