Time to Rethink... again...

Welcome back to another wonderful day of RETHINKING your first PMS card!

Read all about our month of rethinking HERE.

Today we have 3 Paper Makeup Artists showing you their first cards and their wonderful remakes.

First is Senior Paper Makeup Artist, Tangii Crain.

Her first PMS card....

You know i'm lovin' that color combo! haha! And her little paperpieced skirt is so cute!

Tangii used Jaina Fairy, one of the very first fairies from PMS.

Now that Tangii, she's a clever one! She took her very first card for inspiration, and then took our Makeup 4 the weekends challenge (this week it's an awesome sketch, check it out HERE)

Look at how awesome this card turned out!

And next up is Paper Makeup Artist, Randee Elsing.

Here is her first PMS card...

I love that green polka dot paper, and in fact i think i have some. Randee has just inspired me!

Randee has always loved the PMS monsters. You can often find her making some GENIUS cards using the monsters in super clever ways! Here she has used Argus with Teddy.

For her remake, she has added in the use of the Monster Sentiment Set (and some awesoem stitching might i add!). And i LOVE how she added the button to the bow!

And last but certainly not least is one of our most recent FABULOUS additions to our design team, Paper Makeup Artist Christi Snow!

Here is her very first PMS card...

I love Christi's Shabby Chic style! And again.... liking this color combo! haha! Here she has actually used 3 different PMS stamps all from our very first release! The fairy is Lauren in Love who continues to be a best seller among the Beautiful Day Fairies. She also used the butterfly from Buggy Sayings and she oh so strategically only stamped the word life from the large Art is the tree of Life wordart!

Here is her rethunk card. ;)

Again.... loving hte color combo! Ok, so i like anything with grey in it! But those papers are delish! She has again used Lauren in Love but has comboed her with one of our most recent releases, Hugs and Kisses!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please feel free to go and leave our designers some love!

OMG did you SEE?!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone's weekend was filled with wonderful christmas ness!

Mine was filled with a sick preschooler. Oh the joys of motherhood. At least it seems to have skipped everyone else in the house!

Since bringing back the OMG did you see, i've been browsing the web finding oh so cute cards and creations made using the stamps. Remember, if your card is showcased on the PMS blog as an OMG did you see card... you get your choice of a free digi! Just as a little thank you for showing off PMS so well!

here's what i have for you today!

We are going to start doing this again on the PMS blog! Showcasing cards from customers and friends! If you think you have a card worthy of an OMG post, or perhaps you things a friends card is just amazing, please send the picture or a link to makeupbykatie@yahoo.com and you may just see it on the blog!

ANd last but not least is someone you're bound to see on the OMB spotlight a few times!

Elaine Hughes

Elaine is the owner of Quixotic Paperie, a UK based webshop. This is the only other webshop that carries PMS stamps though you will find other brick and mortar shops carrying the stamps! Because QP carries the stamps, elaine makes cards with them often, but her work is fantastic, so I cant help but show them off over and over again! You can leave Elaine some love on her blog.

So thats it for today's OMG did you SEE! Thanks for stopping by today! For those making last minute christmas purchases, all orders placed today before 2pm EST are guaranteed out in the mail today. Today is the USPS last recommended day to mail things before the holidays!

Happy Monday but a sad goodbye....

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful monday! This weeks countdown to christmas sale has been going great! (As you may see by the stock of spellbinders on the website). Never fear, there are a few left BUT we have already placed another order! Product is estimated to be in on Wednesday or Thursday but as soon as the product has shipped and we know exactly what we are getting, it will be added to the website. All orders from the weekend are set to be shipped out today.


And we have a sad goodbye for you today... due to some family reasons, Jamie Morris is stepping down from the design team. She will forever remain and friend of PMS and we will miss her greatly but wish her the very very best! She just needs time to focus on some other things in her life!

Here are some of Jamie's cards....

Dont forget to go leave Jamie some love today for all of the wonderful things she has brought to Paper Makeup Stamps!
