Hi Everyone!!!

I am so glad you stopped today to see the fun card I created using Xyron and Paper Smooches products!

This week the Xyron Design Team hopping along with Paper Smooches...

Today I created a simple "Hi" Card using Paper Smooches Natural Beauties Stamp Set along with Xyron products.

Begin by first punching out two borders from pattern paper using a scallop border punch.

Run them through the Xyron 1.5 Sticker Maker with Permanent Refill.

Adhere pattern paper and border strips of pattern paper to top of a square card using Xyron Anna Griffin Tape Runner with Permanent Refill.

Stamp flowers from Paper Smooches Natural Beauties Stamp Set on pattern paper.

Stamp the "Hi" sentiment from Paper Smooches Natural Beauties Stamp Set on pattern paper with black ink; punch out with circle and scallop circle punches.

Adhere sentiment pieces together with Xyron Anna Griffin Tape Runner with Permanent Refill.

Fussy cut flowers out.

Run Filigree Leaves chipboard through the Xyron 1.5 Sticker Maker with Permanent Refill.

Remove prepared Filigree Leaves from adhesive sheet; add to front of card.

Add prepared sentiment to top of card with pop dots.

Using ACCO Swingline staple each corner of borders.

Adhere bow to top of cards along with prepared flowers.

Add centers of flowers to center of flower with pop dots.

Enjoy the Little Things Card Set with Xyron and Newton's Nook

Hi Everyone!!! I am so glad you stopped by today to see what I am up too!

The Xyron Design Team is hopping with Newton's Nook this week!!!

I am so excited since this is the first time I have used their stamps and I can tell you now this won't be the last.

Today I created a set of 6 CAS Card Set to gift to one of my aunts.

The Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set is the perfect set since you can create multiple cards with one layout design.

I began my cards by first cutting all my pieces on the Swingline Classic Cut Lite Guillotine.

PHOTO 1

Begin by first layering all your pieces together; border punch a piece of the pattern paper to go along with each stack. Distress all the paper pieces with your distress tool.

PHOTO 2

Emboss the mats with embossing folders prior to adhering them together with your Xyron Tape Runner.

Once I had my cards created I decided I need to make a cover set for them.

So I cut two pieces of chipboard and pattern paper; ran them through my Xyron Creative Station Lite using 5" Permanent Adhesive.

PHOTO 8

Cover the chipboard with the adhesive paper.

Adhere to a pattern paper strip that will fit around the stack of cards.

Stamp "Enjoy the Little Things" on white paper along with the wreath from Newton's Nook Happy Little Thoughts. Add to front of prepared cover with pop dots. Add gemstones.
