Happy Birthday Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC376

December 21, 2025

Wishing All who celebrate a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I hope your day is filled with special moments. 


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

Melissa has a fabulous sketch for all of us.  Have fun and get creative! 




I created a panel and embossed it with an embossing folder in my stash.  The peonies were created using the Altenew Peony Scrolls stamp set and dies.  I heat embossed the peonies on watercolor paper with Versa Fine ink and white embossing powder.  I used a water color brush and distress inks to watercolor the flowers.
A simple sentiment and white pearls were used to complete my card.  I also added Wink of Stella for shine to the flowers.

Warm Wishes Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC375

December 7, 2025

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

We have a gorgeous color challenge for all of you!  We can't wait to see what you create!


I used a Berry Blast background and then added a black panel.  The plaid is from my stash.  The little gift boy is from Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Santa's Helper.  I just love this silhouette.  The packages are pieced together using the matching dies from this die set.  A sentiment and black enamel dots were added to complete my card.

For You The Paper Players Challenge PP767

 December 7, 2025

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.  This is our last challenge of 2025.  We are very thankful that you play along with us and we wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!  We will see you back here in January, 2026! 

The talented Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a very timely Theme Challenge for all of us.  "Gifting" is the theme.  So gather up your supplies and get creative! 



The whimsical tree was stenciled using Catherine Poolers Tipsy Tree Layered Stencils.  I added Glossy Accents on the ornaments for shine and then added glitter to the tinsel after it was stenciled in yellow ink.  The little elf is from a retired SugarPea Designs stamp set.  It was called Merry Makers.  I colored him with Copic Markers.  I think his weary expression is because the gift is so large.  LOL!  Wink of Stella was added for shine.  I few enamel dots were added to complete my card.
