Paper Makeup Stamps September Sneak Peak


It's officially the first of September. I know that because the kids are back in school, the trees are just starting to turn their fall colors and it's time for another Paper Makeup Stamps release!!

I'm so excited about a new line of stamps - cute little kids. And this little boy is perfect for the start of the school year . . .



He comes with a coordinating sentiment that I used on the inside . . . .



Cute eh ?!?! Well he has an equally adorable little girlfriend being released this month too! You can see her as well as some other images being sneaked today on the PMS Blog.


There will be sneaks everyday leading up to release day on Sept. 7th !! Then we'll kick-off the release with our launch party in the PMS Forum that night!!


Enjoy the holiday weekend!!

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!!

Christmas in July


Paper Makeup Stamps is sponsoring this weeks challenge at the Christmas Card Challenge Blog.

I created this card using one of the frames released this month in the Framed set. The wordart is also a Paper Makeup Stamps image. The snowflake is actually a plastic ornament I picked up at the Big "W" after Christmas and the sheet music paper is from an old OLD sheet music book I picked up at an antique store for very little. The paper was already frayed and had a nice aged color. Not much antiquing required!!

I'm linking this card up to te challenge and you should play along too. A $15 gift certificate tot he PMS store is up for grabs. Time to get an early start on those cards!

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?!?!?!?

Well here it is ((((((NNNNNNNNN ))))))))
Now off you hop to the super talented newly appointed Senior Design team member JAMI !!

Happy Hopping!!

PMS Sneak Peeks Continue!




What a wonderful long weekend with friends and family!! The weather was a little warm but that's to be expected for July :) !!

Today I get to show you another peek-a-boo at a new release image that will be available on July 7th. This is Madelyn in silhouette form!!

I combined her image with some of the flower stems from the Friendly Flowers set. I left it blank to leave options open. I'm thinking sympathy, birth, christening or encouragment. I think I might go back and add some grass or ground along the bottom, she kind of looks like she is floating! Oh well . . .

Check out what other PMS fairies are going to be released this month by hopping over to the PMS blog. You can check out all of the sneaks going on today. And don't forget to stop by on Thursday for the release day hop and party. We're brining back the release challenges so it would be great for you to play along!!

Back to work, but hey! It's a short week!!!

Paper Makeup Stamps Sneak Peek




Sneak Peek time!! What better way to start the beginning of the month . . . a holiday weekend AND Paper Makeup Stamps sneak peeks to the new release!!


The large star and swirlie are older PMS images but I selected them to coordinate with my sentiment which is new. The fun thing is that it is a build a sentiment set with endless possibilities . . . in the awesome PMS font that will coordinate with so many of the other PMS sentiments already available!!


I kept this card generic enough to use for birthday, graduation (tons of those right now), encouragement or congratulations.


PMS will be sneaking other peeks this week up until the release date on the 7th when we'll have our monthly blog hop and release party.


Make sure to join us for the fun! Have a Happy Fourth of July!!!!
