Merry Christmas--PP 259

August 23, 2015  

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!  The multi-talented, Joanne, is our lovely hostess this week and she has a fun sketch challenge for everyone this week!  We can't wait to see what you create!  

My base card is white. (5 1/2 X 4 1/4).  The top layer is cut using the  SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched dies.  The Designer Series Papers featured on my card  are from the  "Home For Christmas" collection in the new catalog by Stampin' UP!.  It will be available for purchase on Sept. 1st.  (Let me know if you need a catalog!)   I absolutely LOVE this paper!!   It is my favorite item in the new catalog!  The Real Red banner was cut using the Avery Elle-Dotted Elle-ments die set.  I love the way the little holes give the appearance of paper piercing.

I used the SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Circles for the two circles.  The papers are also from the "Home for Christmas" DSP collection.  The sentiment was stamped in black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I found this stamp in my stash. Two Real Red Candy Dots were added for fun.  I also wrapped some red and white Baker's Twine around my card and tied a bow.  This card was very quick to make!  

So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!  

Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from our design team and I hope that you will play along with our challenge this week.
