Autumn Greetings The Paper Players Challenge PP803

September 13, 2026

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

The lovely LeAnne is our hostess this week and she has a bright, fun color challenge for all of us!  When I looked at these colors I thought -- Fall, but you can do lots of other types of cards with these color.  So, get creative and play along with us! 



I was looking through my stash and found this set by Papertrey Inks.  It is called Kind of Corny.   I grew up on a farm in Indiana and we always had a big garden. My Mom and Dad grew Indian Corn.  I always thought it was so special.  So, when this memory ran through my mind, I decided to use this set.  My background is Crumb Cake card stock.  This plaid layer is from my stash and I cut it with a die from Stampin Up.  The panel is cut using a die from the same set.  It included the border stamp.  I stamped it in Early Expresso.  The corn is a series of layered stamps and I used Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry to create the Indian Corn. The  bow is stamped in two shades of red. The sentiment is from the same set, too. Two orange enamel dots were added for fun.

    I love Indian corn, it's a perfect reminder of fall! Your plaid background is perfect for this bundle too! I ran to PTI to see if I could get this set...it's still available, but no dies, boo hoo! Love how you used my colors this week!

    Claire, I love this - and the story behind the inspiration. Isn't it wonderful when crafting goodies can bring back such wonderful memories? The plaid background is the perfect backdrop to your fabulous focal image. Have a wonderful week

    I'm not sure what Indian corn is but it looks lovely and, if it like other corn, also delicious.I like the detailing you've achieved on the various panels with the dies - those decorative edges really give oomph. :-)

    I had to Google Indian corn Claire - how interesting! Your corn bundle is very evocative of it and that plaid is the perfect co-ordinated frame choice too!

    Oh, Claire! What a perfect fall card! The Indian corn is such an iconic image, and this stamp is such a lovely representation of it. Of course, you can never go wrong with plaid paper and a beautiful bow. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

    This is such a great card, Claire! The corn is a quintessential icon of fall in the US, and I loved reading your story behind why you created it. Love the plaid and the fancy die cut panel behind the corn. So beautiful!
