It’s a very sad day when I announce that I’m stepping down from the Paper Smooches team. How does one say goodbye to Kim after four amazing years? Four years. Wow, that’s the longest I’ve served as a design team member on any manufacturer team. It’s a big accomplishment, something I’m very proud of. I’m lucky to have had the amazing opportunity to work alongside Kim, who is one of the kindest, most generous and supportive people in this industry. I’m proud to call her my friend. Kim, these cards are for you and to say thanks for being so awesome! I have endless gratitude for everything we’ve shared these past four years. ♥
My second card uses the Botanicals 1 stamps and coordinating Botanicals 1 Icons in four shades of purple ink. The sentiment is from Many Thanks. For the final touches, I added a strip of patterned paper from Avery Elle’s Neutral Collection paper pad, gold glitter cardstock at the edge of the front panel, plus some gold enamel dots.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

These cards are beautiful, Emily!! You are certainly a part of why I've always loved PS so much and I appreciate all the amazing you've made over those four years. Ack! I'm so bummed, but so glad you had an amazing time and shared so much of it! Plus, you'll make more amazing, of course!! 🙂 🙂 xo
I am very sad that you are leaving the PS design team. Your work for them was the reason I began buying their stamps and dies. I hope that you will continue to share your gorgeous work with blogland. I get so inspired by your creativity. The cards you showed on this post are truly lovely and really make my brain excited. Thanks!
What a cool card. Your creatioms were some of my favorites on PS! I hope you have something excited in the future or just take time for yourself.
It makes me sad that you're leaving PS. I've always been such a huge admirer of your work. BUT I'm so happy to have gotten to know you, even a little, and will continue to admire your work, no matter the manufacturer. ♥ 🙂
Let me join the others by saying 'be seeing you' Emily … I will miss your PS cards! Kim must be so sad to lose you … be well, my friend!
