I've got a new card to share along with a step-by-step video tutorial so you can watch how it all came together! This one features the Feathers and Feathers 2 dies as well as the Group Hugs stamp set. I wanted to create something bright, artsy and whimsical with a specific color palette in mind.

I created these cards back in April but NEVER shared them! I don't know why! I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOVE these cards- they are quick and fun! 

Here's how to make the CAS cards: 
  1.  Add ink to background.
  2. Die cut your Paper Smooches sentiment.
  3. Add sentiment die cut and a few embellishments to card base.
That's it---- I told you that was EASY! 

Here's the video *****Be sure to change your settings to HD before watching! THANKS!

Watercolor Butterflies Card

Hi there, Kalyn here! Hope your week is off to a great start! Today I'm sharing a new card and video with you featuring watercolors and how to create your own custom die cuts!

I love the look of watercoloring on projects, but sometimes you don't want to commit to painting right on your card. I've found that painting on die cut pieces not only makes it fool proof, but also gives you an awesome customized look to your embellishments!

Watch the video below or over at YouTube to see how it all came together!






On this card, I used the Pretty Phrases stamp set as well as the Butterfly Duet die set and the Just For You Icons die set. Be sure to check them out at Paper Smooches!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
