Back 2 School Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC288

July 23, 2022

We have a fabulous sketch challenge for all of you!

The amazing Heather created this sketch!

My card is created on a white card base. I added a red layer on top of the base. The crayon paper was in my stash. I cut a white and striped rectangle using dies. I stamped the sentiment in red using the Back 2 School stamp set by SugarPea Designs. I dug through my stash and found some vintage SU stickers from my scrapbooking days for the stars and crayons. I added a blue button and some red white twine to complete my card.

School Subjects The Paper Players Challenge PP600

July 17,2022

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

Can you believe this is our 600th challenge??? We are very thankful for all of you that have played along with us over the years. It is such an amazing team and I am honored to be a part of it. THANK YOU for being so loyal and supportive over the years! We wouldn't be here without YOU!

The fabulous Ann is our hostess this week. She has a very fun challenge for all of us! "Kards for Kids" is the theme for the week. There are sooo many ideas for this challenge. Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create!

Remember, at The Paper Players, when we say Clean and Simple, we mean cards or projects that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open, or "white" space
Are simple and uncluttered

My card is created on a white card base. I used a journal die by SugarPea Designs. I cut a striped one and a white one. I added a stamp of subjects by Technique Tuesday Stamps. This stamp is no longer available, but I will keep it because I love to make school cards. I added two pencils that were stamped in black ink using the Sugar Pea Design Teacher's Pet stamp set. I colored them with Copic Markers. I added a red twine bow around the journal piece. To keep it CAS, I did not add any other details. That is always hard for me.

In Georgia, the children go back to school in two weeks. This card is for my Granddaughter Addison. She will be in 8th Grade. I do not know how that is even possible. I thought this card wasn't too childish. She is a full blown teenager now and too cool for lots of things. LOL!

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.

My card is created on a white card base. I added a layer of Tahitian Tide to the top of the base. I then took a piece of water color paper and created the smooshed background with the Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party inks. I added a white frame cut with a die. The dandelion and sentiment are stamped in black using the SSS Dandelion Messages stamp set. I added clear sequins to the centers of the dandelion and a few more for fun.

Life Is Meant To Be Enjoyed Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc 169

July 7,2022

It's time for a new challenge at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge! We hope you will play along with our new board.

My card is created using the Top Row: Something Round, Outdoors, Stencil

My card is created on a white card base. I added a watercolor panel using Distress Inks and a stencil to create the rays. I also sponged Distress inks on another sheet of water color paper and used a ray die to cut it out. It is my sun! My little PI girl from MFT is the Fun in the Sun stamp set. I colored her with Copic Markers and added some Wink of Stella for shine. The sentiment is stamped in black using the same set.
