Gotta Love Paper Smooches!

Hello! This is the last week in March- can you BELIEVE it?! I am SO ready for some April Showers to bring on the May Flowers! Also- Easter is coming up and that's always a big holiday for my family. We have tons of fun Easter & Spring products in our themed categories.. check 'em out!

Today I am super excited to share and update you on one of my favorite brands here- Paper Smooches! Now, I am the Brand Manager of Paper Smooches so I may just be a little biased ;), but this company is so lovable and their owner Kim Hughes is such a delight to work with! I encourage you to check out the Paper Smooches blog for more inspiration and behind the scenes of new releases!


I love these two examples of the Paper Smooches Smarty Pants Stamp set! The Paper Smooches Design Team Members Heidi Van Laar and Kryssi Ng did a beautiful job stacking the books stamp in the set, and then using the sentiments too! There are over 15 stamps included on the Smarty Pants Set- MORE than enough to share how proud you are of someone's smarts!

Think that's just some leopard patterned paper?! Nope! The pattern is made from patterned stamps in the Little Lady Stamp Set! The Little Lady Set was just released on March 15th, and it is just feminine enough to jazz up any project! (Plus, the high heels, diamonds, and purse included in the set could help plan an outfit for ya too!)


Doesn't this card just scream "nice weather" out to you!? The window cut out is so creative to frame the beautifully colored balloons! These balloons and clouds come from the Metropolis Stamp Set. I am really also liking that Laurie Schmidlin pulled these two elements from the otherwise very urban set, and created this light & airy project! The stamps are so versatile!

Stamp Sets Used Above and Alternative Sentiment Sets:


Now a sneak peak of the April Stamp Releases!
Pretty Momma by Kryssi Ng




Simply Said by Emily Leiphart


Be sure to check our Paper Smooches Category after April 1st for these 2 new beautiful stamp sets to be fully released, and a 3rd titled "Get Outta Town"! Until then, check in at the Paper Smooches Blog for more sneak peeks!

Thanks for reading! Comment on this post, join our blog following, and you could win the Pretty Momma Stamp Set (example above!) from us and Paper Smooches!

The winner of the "Don't Forget The Tag" Blog Post was: Sharon G! Please email Steph@SimonSaysStamp.com with your shipping info and the title of the blog you won from!

Have an inspired day!
-Michelle
