Park Your Broom & Sit For A Spell The Paper Players Challenge PP707

Sept.15, 2024

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

The amazing Ann is our hostess this week.  She has a fabulous "Clean and Simple" Challenge for all of us.  Back to Nature is the theme.  You can use a plant of an animal on your project.   WOW--so many possibilities with this theme.  Have fun and get creative! 


The Paper Players use the term "Clean and Simple" meaning:

Minimal Layers and Embellishments 
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered 


I decided to add to my Halloween stash with a Clean and Simple card.  I used watercolor paper and distress inks to create the background.  I used an edge die to cut the panel.  The Clearly Besotted Halloween Hippo set was used for the hippo and the sentiment.  I colored the hippo with Copic Markers.  I also stamped a few bats in the evening sky.

Oh, The Places You"ll Go--- Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC334

We have a fantastic sketch by Heather for all of you!  We hope you have fun and enjoy this tag sketch.  You can make any type of card with this sketch.




My card is created using a fun pattern for the background.  The tag was added and I cut the pencils using the Honey Bee Brilliant Day pencil stamp.  I colored the pencils with Copic Markers.  I added a piece of polka dot paper and the sentiment is from SugarPea Designs.  I bought this ruler ribbon and thought it was fun to add to my tag.

You Are Brilliant The Paper Players Challenge PP706

Sept. 8. 2024

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

The amazing Elizabeth is our hostess this week.  She chose this fun primary color challenge for all of us!  Bright and Bold--this combo makes me smile!  So, get creative and have fun! 




This fabulous color combo made this old teacher's heart happy.  I loved playing with these colors.  I used a circle stencil to create this panel.  Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point are the colors I chose.  Then I cut the panel with a scalloped border die.  I used the Honey Bee Stamps Brilliant Day set to stamp the crayons and sentiment.  I used the matching dies.  I colored the crayons with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for shine.  Red enamel dots were added to complete my card.

It's time for a new challenge at Sunday Stamps. 

Our Color Challenge is so gorgeous and one you can use over and over!  Just perfect for any type of card.  Have fun and get creative!


I added a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock for the background.  The school paper was in my stash and had the light yellow, light blue and red lines.  So, it was the perfect colors for the combo.  I used a MFT Pure Innocence stamp set- You Color My World.  The little girl is colored with Copic Markers.  I added a little frame for her to paint for Fall.  I used a leaf stamp and watered down the ink to make it look like watercolor.  A few red enamel dots were added for fun.  Wink of Stella was used on the little artist.

Trick or Treat The Paper Players Challenge PP705

 Sept. 1, 2024

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

The fabulous Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a FUN Theme Challenge for all of us!  Spots or Stripes---can't decide?  You can use both!  Have fun and get creative!  


I love Halloween cards and I love polka dots, so I combined the two and came up with this fun card.    I was digging in my paper stash and found this fabulous paper by Carta Bella.  I love the big polka dots and dark vibrant colors.  I used a die to cut the polka dot DSP and added a dark orange panel for the background.The ghost, bats and sentiment strips were all part of a sticker pack that came with the paper.  Isn't it great when the paper does all the work?
