Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge PWC116

Our challenge for Paper Pretties this week is Back to School. I thought this new image by Victoria Case would be the perfect image for this challenge. This is a very easy peasy card that only took me a few minutes to put together once I colored it. I just used regular blue, red and white card stock with the white being run through my cuttle bug with a embossing folder. I had the corduroy buttons in my stash. So go check out the Paper Pretties blog to see links to everyone one else card and then if you would like this image it is available in the store along with some great other new images.

Here is some information from Heather about the stamps in case you didn't know which can be found at the Paper Pretties Blog.

1. We have 12 new sets being released on Thursday! 5 of them are from our INCREDIBLE veteran illustrator Joni Stringfield and 7 of them are from a brand new Paper Pretties illustrator! I am thrilled to tell you that Victoria Case has joined the Paper Pretties team as our newest illustrator! Victoria is amazingly talented and sweet as can be. You are going to LOVE her images!

2. All NEW Paper Pretties sets from here on out are going to be Clear Photopolymer sets. I want you to know that I did a lot of research and made sure I found the highest quality clear stamp manufacturer possible. I am VERY picky about clear stamps and I am EXTREMELY happy with the quality of our new stamps. The reason for the switch is to make our Paper Pretties sets more affordable for everyone! The new sets will have more sentiments and accessory stamps than the old sets and they will considerably less expensive for you! It also allows me to release more images every month, so it is a win-win situation for everyone!

3. We will be having a blog hop on Thursday, showcasing all of the new releases.

4. The new stamps will be available in the Paper Pretties store beginning at 6am CST on Thursday Aug. 12th. We will also be having several sales specials and prizes!

Paper Pretties Sneak Peak #1

Today is the first sneak peak for Paper Pretties and I can't say enough about good things about these stamps. I normally don't care for clear stamps too much because I never get a good impression on them. Well not with these stamps I have gotten a perfect impression every single time even the first. I know with some stamps you need to take an eraser on before you try and ink them. I have not had to do that with these stamps for Paper Pretties... Ok onto my card now I know you are just dying to see.

This little card is from the illustrator Victoria Case which you all know I use to be on her DT when she first started out. I am so happy to be making cards using her designs again because I just love her stamp. This set comes with the image you see here and it has several different saying stamps with it too. Isn't she just too dang cute. I just love her.

Stamps: Paper Pretties Cheerleader stamp Set
Medium: Copics
Paper: Misc
Accessories: Ribbon & Dies

You will be able to buy this little gal on Thursday over at Paper Pretties. Be sure to stop back every day and check out more peaks. Then on Thursday there will be a Blog Hop for the Grand Re-Opening release and you have a chance to win whatever stamp set I show that day along with other opportunities with the other DT members.
