Frightfully Sweet The Paper Players Challenge PP610

 Sept. 25, 2022

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.  The amazing Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous sketch for all of us.  There are so many possibilities with this sketch.  We can't wait to see what you create.  




My card is created on a white card base.  I added a layer of black card stock.  The next layer was cut using a die and black shimmer paper.  The ghost is from SugarPea Designs.  The stamp set is retired but, I keep it in my stash because I love it.  The set is call Eek-a- Boo.  I shaded it with Copic Markers and colored the Boo banner and tie with Copics, too!  Then I fussy cut the ghost and added Wink of Stella for shine.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set and cut with a smaller die from the die set.  I added a few green enamel dots to complete my card.

Happy Fall Y'all The Paper Players Challenge PP609

 Sept. 18, 2022

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.  Fall will arrive this week!  I love Fall because Halloween and Thanksgiving are favorite holidays of mine.  SO many activities going on, too!  Such a blessing to see the hot, humid days in Atlanta get cooler, too!  

I am the hostess this week and I hope you will have fun creating CLEAN and SIMPLE cards using scarecrows and/or leaves.  I know there will be some amazing cards in the gallery this week!  

** remember to keep it CAS!




My card is created on a white card base.  I used the Scalloped Edge Basic Edge Die from MFT to cut the border on the white card stock.  I added a piece of leaf patterned paper for the bottom of my card.  I found these leaves in my stash.  Lord knows, I own tons of patterned paper!   LOL!  The little scarecrow is from SugarPea Designs. It is now retired. It is called "Bountiful Blessings" --if you want to search for one.  I love this scarecrow because it is a girl.  I guess I always think of scarecrows as boys.  I colored her with Copic Markers and added a little Wink of Stella for shine.  No embellishments since it is CAS week.  The sentiment is stamped in brown from the same stamp set.  You know I love this sentiment being a Southern girl!

Thank You The Paper Players Challenge PP608

 Sept. 11, 2022

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

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week.  She has a very fun color challenge for all of us.  She has chosen six complimentary colors and you can use any combination of them on your project. Use just two or use all six - you choose.  Have some fun and we can’t wait to see what you create! 

My card is created on a white card base.  I used Pool Party, Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight and a rick rack die from Impression Obsession for the strips.   I cut the Thank You Swirl Wafer die from Simon Says Stamp in Old Olive.  So, I used four of the colors. This card was very simple to create but, perfect to thank someone special.

There Is No Better Friend Paper Players Challenge PP607 Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC291

 September 4, 2022

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps 

The Amazing Anne is our hostess at The Paper Players this week.  She has a very timely challenge for all of us!  "FALL FUN" is the theme this week.  There are so many possibilities with theme!

Sunday Stamps has a fabulous Fall Color Challenge this week! Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create! 








The top layer of my card is a piece of patterned paper that looks like bricks.  I added two rectangle panels of Fall leaves patterned paper.  The main image is from Honey Bee Stamps.  It is called "Acorn Sisters" Stamp Set and die.  It is now retired, but I just love this set.  I colored all the elements with Copic Markers and added white gel pen and Wink of Stella for shine!  The sentiment is from the same set.  It did take quite a bit of time to color this image, but I do think it is worth the effort.  It is perfect for this weeks challenges.
