Kim Hughes
Welcome to Freebie Friday!
You may have read on yesterday’s Paper Crafts Connection post that I have started my very own stamp company, Paper Smooches! YAY! I am SO EXCITED to be creating stamps again!
I took some time off from illustrating and found that I truly missed it. I started drawing again and it brought a cheesy grin to my face instantly, no joke. I was told all the time that my images make people smile. Well, they make me smile too. I truly love the process, and I am thrilled to share my art with you again.
Please welcome the February release:
Falling For You
You can create love, fall, Halloween and school projects with this set. The hearts fit on the monster’s belly and on the apple’s core. Hang the bat from your sentiment or a border. How about creating a paper-pieced plaid green monster? Cute visual, right?
Birthday Buddies
I like to make images of cute critters that I don’t see a lot of. Let’s call them “trendy”. The three circles can be used as bubbles or rocks. The stars fit inside the party hats and each image comes with their own personalized sentiment. “Happy” and “Birthday” are two separate stamps, so that’s an option if you want a more traditional sentiment. Glitter the fish gills, flock that chick, pop that gopher out from fun places…I think this set is so much fun to play with, and I hope you will too!
Pretty Phrases
I receive so many wonderful compliments on my handwriting, so I just had to create an every day sentiment set. They are large enough to take center stage and they also work well on scrapbook pages. Use different inks, emboss them and embellish them with sweet little accents.
On the first of every month, I will release three new clear photopolymer stamp sets and two shaped card templates. You can join the club and have the stamp sets arrive approximately one week before everyone else, among other perks. I am sharing information about the February shaped card templates at the Paper Smooches blog today. Please check out the Paper Smooches web site and take advantage of all the freebies.
Today, I would like to offer one of each set shown above and the February shaped card templates to one lucky winner. Just let me know which set is your favorite. All comments must be received by midnight (MST) on Sunday, Feb. 6.
I can’t WAIT to see what you create with my new stamps!
Smooches,
Kim
