Sneak Peeks for the march Release BEGIN!

Today is the day! The first day of sneak peeks for the March release!

Without having a rubber release last month, everyone has been itching to show off some new rubber! We hope that you've been as excited to see it as we have been to show it! And this month we're going to show things a little bit differently during the peeks. This time you will literally get peeks! But to view the full card, just clickie on the design team members name to go directly to their blog. You'll want to do that anyway for your chance to win a LOT of free rubber. More about that at the end of the post! :)

Let it begin!

Today is wordart day! Shaela Odd has done it again! She has put together a slew of wonderful new wordart! Check out what the Paper Makeup Artists have come up with for you!

This month we are going to give away the entire release to not 1 but 2 lucky lucky winners!

How do you enter? Comment away! Comment Comment Comment! We want to know what you like! We will be gathering the comments from all the design team members blogs everyday and will give away the entire release (which is valued at over $70!) The more you comment, the more your chances to win! Please note though, only 1 comment per design team members blog per day counts. So you cant leave 10 comments on each blog for over 100 entries a day! haha!

We will also give away the release from collecting comments from the PMS company blog. Each day leave a comment on what your favorite stamp shown that day is! Easy Peasy!

PS... only 1 more day until sneak peeks start! :)

One last time, to rethink!

It's the last day of February. Our birthday month is soon to be over..... *SIGH*

BUT, that means that sneak peeks are soon to begin.... contest winners are soon to be announced

and a whole new month of fun is about to begin!

First, let's show off the final Paper Makeup Artists rethink cards!

First we have Amber Kroening...

Amber has used some of our first every PMS releases.... Dreck and Starstruck!

I love this card of Amber's. Just such a sweet card to send to a little boy... Well that amber is a smart one. To rethink her card... she turned it into a "she" version! GENIUS!

I also love that 1 sparkle star! What a super fun way to make it stand out!

Next we have Dawn Mercedes....

Dawn has used one of the first every Beautiful Day Fairies on her card named Penelope.

One of the reasons I snagged Dawn up to be on the original PMS design team is her mastering of watercoloring skills. Her cards are so striking ad this card is definitely no exception!

Here is her rethink card...

THis card is also equally stunning... but she took it one step further.... look what she did to the inside!

It's so so sweet! What a great card to send to someone with lots of goodies tucked away inside!

So thats our month of rethinks! Whew! I am truly blessed to have such an amazing and talented design team! They rock the stamps in so many ways! The first team has helped the company grow and the newest additions are just awesome and have brought new life and flavor! I love them all! Thank you guys so much!

If you are entering our contests to help in designing a PMS stamp (you can help design what a fairy will look like, a moody girl, a monster, or choose a quote you'd love to be made into a wordart!) There is still time today to upload your cards to the Splitcoast and PaperCraftPlanet galleries! All you have to do is make sure your tags in the gallery say PMS, Paper Makeup Stamps to make sure we can find them! 1 lucky stamper will be chosen at random from each website gallery to win! Cards can be uploaded until midnight tonight and winners will be announced tomorrow. The same card may be uploaded o both galleries.

GOOD LUCK!

Another day to RETHINK

Well February is coming to a close (soon, but not yet!)

We have a few more Paper Makeup Artists very first cards to share with you!

Today we have Maria Gurnsey and honorary Paper Makeup Artist (and one of our illustrators!) Shaela Odd!

First, here's Maria's very first PMS card!

First of all, i have to say that i LOVE Maria's asthetic! Her cards always make my jaw drop to the floor. One of those, man, why cant I make cards like that! In her first card she used Gus, the birthday monster. And she used a sentiment from the monster sentiments set. I love how her card is a combo of pink, brown and black! Simply fab.

For Maria remake, use used the same sketch, but changed up the look of her card. Again, i love her card and my jaw has dropped to the floor. Here she used the raindrops and rainbows set!

Look at all the little detail like the subtle stitching over the ribbon. ACK, love it!

Ok, next up....

Shaela Odd.

Now Shaela has been with us from the get go. I knew i wanted her as an addition to the team before I even made the design team call! What i didnt know at the time was what a fabulous illustrator she would be for the company! She gets me. And i love that from my illustrators!

Oh right, the card... hehe. She has used one of the first PMS fairies, Lauren in Love.

And here is her remake...

This card stuns me as well! Shaela has really developed some mad coloring skills in the last year! Of course her first card was fab, but her rethink... fabULOUS. :)

Thanks so much for dropping by today!!! We always love seeing you! :)
