Now for a bit of sad news.  This week we are saying goodbye to both Jen and Eret.  We are going to miss having them on our team.  Both ladies have been fabulous to work with, a joy to have on the team and we wish them both the best in whatever life has in store for them.  Love you ladies!! <3

Our challenge for you this week is:

Another sad goodbye...

Hello friends! Today, we have another sad goodbye. But first, I wanted to tell you to check out the sidebar of the site! We're currently working on revamping the blog a little bit, but now it may be easier for you to grab those blinkies you love! Why? Because I finally figured out how to display a scroll bar and encode! Go me! hehe. Ok, so I get excited easily. :) So feel free to share your love for Paper Makeup Stamps! :)

And now for the sad news... Kim Stewart is having to step down from the PMS design team

in order to fulfill some commitments to her family. She will be greatly missed from our team!

We all love Kim so much, and wish her the best! She has assured us that we will still be seeing PMS creations from her!

Here is a little show off of some of Kim's fabulous work!

WE LOVE YOU KIM!

Reminder... this week's countdown to christmas sale is making some sets sell out fast! Be sure to check out the site for which sets are still available at a 35% discount! Use Sets35 as your voucher code. This code is not able to be used with other codes.

PMS Monday Is Getting Punchy!

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to another Paper Makeup Monday Challenge!! This week Tangii is challenging everyone to get punchy: use die cuts or punches on your creations. Before you go "WOOHOO! NESTIES!" I have to tell you that Nestabilities do not count for this challenge. You can use them but you must use another kind of punch/die as well.

I decided to play it safe and just use my square punch...
All of the squares in the background were punched using my 1 3/8" square punch. :) Now check out the rest of the design teams punchy creations...

Aren't they gorgeous?! Awesome job this week ladies. :)

I hope you all can play along with us this week! Remember, you do not have to use Paper Makeup Stamps to play along but if you've got them why not use them?

Please link up to Mr. Linky with a direct link to your challenge creation and if you upload to SCS/PCP please use keyword PMSMC28 so we can see your creations there as well.

Now go get inky & punchy! LOL!! Happy Stamping!!

September Sneak Peek day 4... Apples to Apples!

Welcome to day 4 of our September sneak peeks! I told you that we wouldnt disappoint this month! Well, today we have "sort of" a new designer for you! :) It's Shaela Odd! Ok, now you all think i've lost my marbles and are saying, "Katie Dear, Shaela has been doing awesome wordart for a couple months now!" Well, I havent COMPLETELY lost my marbles yet! Now Shaela is using her drawing skills as well! Ok, not the first time, the rainbow and clouds in the Raindrops and Rainbows set are hers to. Ok ok so it's not that new! But i'll tell you want is new... this set! I love it! It's so much fun! And after some discussion with this fabulous design team of mine, we've decided that it will be available in rubber AND in digi! :) Just think of the possibilities! :)

Here is what the design team has come up with...

The cards below have used the rubber stamps... just so you know the size of the stamps. :)




And then these Design Team samples were created using the digi version.  Some sizes may have been adjusted slightly...  :)

And just think... with it as a digi set as well, you could make a GINORMOUS apple. In fact, i think i might do that. I love me some apples! :)

Leave a comment here about what you love most about this set and you could win the whole thing! :)
