Paper Smooches Co-Hop

Have you heard?

My super talented  friend Kim Hughes opened a stamp company on February 1st called Paper Smooches! How cool is that?! I’m so excited for Kim and thrilled that she is designing stamps again. They are fabulous!

On The first day of every month, she is releasing 3 new whimsical and fun clear stamp sets that she hand draws. I’ve had some sneak peeks and I know you’re going to be as excited as I am.

Kim asked me to create a card using one of her February stamp sets.  I used   Pretty Phrases on today’s card. I adore this set in Kim’s signature hand drawn style.

Supplies: white cardstock by Bazzill, stamp set by Paper Smooches, Jet Black Archival Ink and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink by Ranger, Paper Girl line patterned paper by The Girls’ Paperie, Round Binding Edge Punch by EK Success, twine, glitter chipboard heart by Melissa Frances, Doily Transparency, Kraft Envelope & Heart Trinket Pins and Flower by Maya Road, Tiny Attacher by Advantus, sewing machine

She offers high quality photopolymer clear stamps, shaped card templates, a design center and so much more.

There will be a monthly challenge on the The Paper Smooches Blog.  (Free digi stamps are involved) Yay! Participants will be eligible to be a guest designer for the following month.
