Pink Paislee | Thickers

Hello and welcome today!  I have a couple of cards to share with you today using Thickers and bits and pieces from the Fancy Free collection.



The thickers in the Fancy Free collection are lovely. I decided to use the fancy glitter foam thickers to use as sentiments on my cards.





To create my first card I hand cut geometric shapes from patterned paper #06. This is the paper filled with lots of squares. Perfect for patterned piecing. I arranged the geometric shapes onto my card face and then used my sewing machine to stitch them down.









For my second card, I used a cut file called Film Club Background cut file by Paige Evans sold at Studio Calico. The heart shape originally had more pieces, but I cut it down to size us use on my card front.





I used the same patterned paper that I used on my first card (#06) to fill in the heart shape. I dipped a paint brush in white paint and splattered it across my card face. I added the cut file, thickers sentiment , some loose string and a few other embellishments from the collection.



What creative uses do you have for using Thickers? We would love for you to share them with us on the Pink Paislee Facebook page.

When I received the C'est La Vie collection, I just couldn't wait to sit down and play with all the beautiful embellishments.  Those cork hearts!!  And the mirrored stickers!!  So fabulous!

I whipped up a couple of quick cards using some of my favorite pieces from the collection.

I kept the themes simple so that they can be used as everyday cards.  I try to keep a lot of those on hand to send out when a friend or loved one needs a card.

The simple Me + You theme of my love card could be used as a Valentine's day card, Anniversary card or everyday card.

This collection should be shipping to retailers soon!  I hope you get the chance to pick some of it up.

Cards with the May Debate team

Hi everyone, good morning! I have some cards to share today that I made for the Paper Bakery using the May Debate Team Scrapbook Kit.  I love the variety of patterned paper and cute embellishments in this kit, and just knew right away that I would want to use them on a card.

Hello card

To create this card I cut paper strips and then adhered them in a diagonal fashion.  I added the adorable Switchboard puffy stickers that are included in the kit, and my card was made in a snap.

To create my second card, I also used strips, but this time I adhered them in a horizontal pattern.




Hello Friend card

To create the heart background I used the May cut files, and resized the heart background before cutting it to fit my card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today, I really loved playing with this kit and I know you will too.  Stop by the store to pick up your May Debate Team Scrapbook kit today.  Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your day!
