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?

    Claire... the ephemera chosen is adorable! I love Halloween cards too, and make too many each year. I have started sending Halloween cards to friends to whom I want to send a long holiday note. It shortens the Christmas list and makes sure I make contact with those I don't see often.

    i hadn't appreciated that dots could be scary but here, they look like a bunch of crazy moons! Such a fun way to use the challenge. :-)

    I love Halloween too and I absolutely adore your cute-scary card, Claire! I wouldn't normally think of using a polka dot background for this holiday, but Carta Bella is brilliant for great papers and ephemera, and this set is fabulous! I especially love the "ghost" boy tricker-treater on run. Totally fun, fun, fun!

    Your trick-or-treater is properly scared of those bats Claire - how funny! I knew you'd choose dots too!! Such a fun card.

    Claire, this card just made me LOL. That image is just delightful. I love the polka dots with it - they make a wonderful bokeh style background. Fabulous card, my friend

    Oh, Claire! I LOVE Halloween cards and I LOVE polka-dots, so it only makes sense that I LOVE your card! The stickers are so cute. Yep, I also appreciate it when the paper does all of the work, and this paper with the stickers is amazing. Have a wonderful weekend!
