BEWARE! The Paper Players Challenge PP606

August 28, 2022

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper PlayersCan you even believe it is the end of August??  This year is flying by! 

The amazing Ann Marie is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous sketch for all of us!  WOW--so versatile and perfect to use over and over again.



My card is created on a white card base.  I added a layer of black to create my card.  My patterned paper did all the work this week.  I had this paper in my stash from Carta Bella-"Trick or Treat".  I just love it.  I can't find it on their site, so it must be from the past.  I cut the huge polka dots for the background and used the coordinating papers for the two rectangle panels.  To add interest, I cut them with a scalloped die.  The papers included a page of stickers, so I used the spooky ghost and the Beware sentiment to complete my card.  The little candy corn stickers are from this set, too!

My card is created on a white card base.  I cut another white layer using a stitched die.  I added a piece of red with stars for the rectangle panel.  The wave was stamped using the SSS stamp set "Sailing".  It was part of a monthly kit that is no longer available.  The two circles were cut with stitched dies and the boat is stamped using the same set.  The sentiment is heat embossed in white powder.  It is also from this stamp set.  I did not add embellishments since it is CAS week.

Welcome Little One The Paper Players Challenge PP604

 August 14, 2022

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

The lovely Anne Marie is our hostess this week and she has an amazing color challenge for all of us!  I love black and white cards but, today you get to pick a "POP" of color to add to this fun challenge!  We can't wait to see what you create.  



I needed a special card for a friend's new grand- daughter!  The best part is--they named her Claire.  I decided this princess needed Neon Pink for the pop of color.  My card base is white and I added a black panel on top.  Then I used white and embossed it with polka dots.  Every girl needs polka-dots in the South.  I trimmed this panel with a scalloped die.  I cut a strip of Neon Pink triangles for the middle panel and added black to the back.  The stork and baby are stamped on white and colored with Copic Markers.  The stamp and sentiment are from Sugar Pea Designs.  The stamp set is called Bundle of Joy.  It is no longer available on their site.  It is perfect to welcome a new baby!  I cut the image out using an oval die and added a black oval frame. Wink of Stella was added for shine, and a black button and a white twine bow was also added for fun.  A few black enamel hearts completed my card.

  3. Please be considerate of our requests; entries that do not follow any of these rules will be deleted without notification.
