Do you have the winter dole drums? Time to perk up and paint yourself in celebration.

I’m head over heels in love with this new specialty designer series paper, Painted with Love. While it’s bright and bold, it still has a shabby side with all of it’s thick brush strokes and spots of color. What makes this paper special?  Every single sheet is foiled with gold on one side.  And, it’s thick. Perfect for creating those sweet little treat favors we all love this time of year.

Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper Item 145580

Background: Both of these cards are created with the same sheet of paper, one side with foil and one without. The dot side may lack the shine of gold foil but the look of wet paint more is just as fascinating.

The Words are another new product, Celebrate You Thinlits Dies. They’re one of the products you can choose free with your order of $100. “Why $100?” you ask. Stampin’ Up! has changed things up a bit this year by adding a second tier of products.  Don’t panic! They haven’t taken away the $50 option. Personally I like the choice and you can see what one of my choices is right here. Sale-A-Bration 2018 products are only available between January 3rd and March 31st, 2018 as a free selection with your qualifying order.

Finishing Touches are added with the help of a few Tutti-Frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins.  YAY!  No waiting for the glue to dry with these little gems. Look for them under the word YOU on both cards. A few more are scattered about for good measure.

There you have it.  Two cards that could be used for many occasions, not just Valentine’s day. Work with this paper for a little while and you’ll feel your spirits start to lift during the dreary winter months.
