PMS is Getting Fab N Funky

Paper Makeup Stamps is hosting this weeks Fab N Funky Challenge! I was a little "shy to try" at first - can you believe it!

The challenge is to create your own handmade flower and use it on your creation - fun! I tried to keep it really simple and came up with this;


These flowers were made by punching out a large circle and then spiral cutting it towards the center. I then crumpled it all up and tried to fray the edges to distress it a little. Finally, using a few glue dots, secured the flower to my card.

The sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps and fits perfectly with my pretty little flowers. They definitely make me smile :0)

Check out Fab N Funky Challenges and play along. There is a PMS prize up for grabs!

Happy Hump Day!

PMS May Release Review

Look how wonderfully the PMS images coordinate! The presents are a new release image but don't they look great with Dreck?!? I think he has a favorite one picked out :0

I used 3 separate PMS images on this card; the monster, the presents and the sentiment. All released at different times, but look like they were made for each other!

Head on over to the PMS blog to see other May release reviews and stop by the PMS store to see all of the PMS images, both old and new.

PMS May Blog Hop

Happy Hop day! If you are coming from Andreas blog then you are in the right place. If not go back to the PMS blog and start there. You won't want to miss anything!

This card uses the coordinating stamp for Lars, but as you can see it does just fine on its own too! I actually tried to make the card look like a present with a tag attached. Did I succeed?

The sentiment is also being released this month. Simple and subtle, love the font!!

Don't forget to grab your letter for 15% off new releases and don't forget to stop by our release party tonight in the forum!! Chatting starts at 8:00 p.m CST.

Fairy Silhouette Sneak Peak

Paper Makeup Stamps is about to release some new (and not so new) images.

This is Sprout in solid form! Love her as a silhouette. She's a little smaller than the original stamp, easier to work into your designs.

Where did Spring go?!?!?! I woke up this morning to find 2inches of friggin snow on the ground!! Not a good way to start a Monday :0( But I have Spring on my mind and Spring in my heart. AND . . . over at the Cardmakin Mamas blog they are hosting a challenge to make a Spring card. PMS is sponsoring this challenge and the winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to the PMS store!!



Isn't this a cutie?! I decided to make a Springy wedding card with these two little love birds from the PMS Tweet Things set. I love the little heart shaped wings and leaves on the branches. I figure this could easily be a wedding, anniversary, or Valentine card - LOVE the versatility. The flowers on the background are from the PMS Springtime Solids set - love it!! and the wording is from and oldie but goodie - Fench Script from SU!

Play along with the challenge and then head on over to PMS and see what you could be shopping for! There is a huge inventory reduction sale going on right now so you might be able to stretch that gift certificate even a little further!!

Happy Monday!!

Paper Makeup Stamps Springtime Blog Hop

Happy Spring!!

The flowers are bloming, the birds are singing, and PMS is hopping!!
We're showing off some of our springy things as we anticipate next months release.

I have something a little crafty to show you that I made awhile ago for a friend but never posted :0) This was a blank wooden birdhouse that I decorated "PMS Style"!!

I painted the birdhouse black and then for a shine painted modgepodge over that. I stamped PMS images and sentiment on some sheet music patterned paper, distressed it with Ranger ink and then pasted it onto the birdhouse. I removed the little wooden peg perch and added a small black iron drawer knob for a little flair, and a coordinating metal embellishment at the top for a little pizzaz. Finally, I screwed in a little hanger at the top and adde some pretty ribbon and twine for hanging :0)

If you've been hopping then you know that PMS is having a huge sale right now, so be sure to hop hop hop and shop shop shop!! One lucky commenter on the blog will win the entire May release!! And ooh is it a good one!!

Happy hoping on your way to Jami's blog
