The stamp set is called <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/products/floral-envelope-stamp?_pos=2&_sid=a436161df&_ss=r">Floral Envelope Stamp</a>. I sponged the envelope with distress ink and colored the flowers with Copic Markers. I cut the bow out of green and white polka dots. I used the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/products/floral-envelope-die?_pos=1&_sid=a436161df&_ss=r">matching dies</a> to cut out all three items. I had to search all of my stamp sets to find the words Good Luck. I can't believe I only had one and I know I own hundreds of sets. I did not add any embellishments since it is CAS week. That is always difficult for me. </span></div><div style="background-color: white;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, FreeMono, monospace;

This set is from My Favorite Things and it is called Doddled Blooms. It is retired now. I stamped the flowers in black ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the matching dies to cut them out. I used a cover plate to cut the black frame for the flowers. I cut the sentiment with a <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/products/simon-says-stamp-beautiful-wafer-dies-sssd112326">Beautiful Die</a> from Simon Says Stamp. I heat embossed the words in white embossing powder. I added green enamel dots to complete my card. I love the way this turned out. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTUDNbK2wxNLFWlhnqrvwP7e_RR4ILv8VrXobXF928lhYqrAi_hQA5jVTvKy6WRD0XPlYpQGsHbQIoWXsihgbe7HpkmLp7hwEDQnffTPQ-lfwj6ua2o5ugS7VaQc2Q7Ml2zH2ehTxwtN34-olTBBMnDtoBycyDJoedaN5Pd7YA94Epfhuice6ruzzUfA/s2911/Beautiful%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I added a black panel to the front. I found this little scrap of black and white polka dots/ yellow flowers in my scrap box and that sparked my idea for this card. I added a black/white striped sunshine die cut behind the boots. I got the boot die once years ago as a gift. I can not find the maker. I cut the boots out in yellow and then paper pieced the red tulips and green stems over the yellow die cut. I added some Copic Markers to the boots for dimension. The sentiment is stamped in black ink. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha6n3eB_SZdxYMQqJiHA4JOKXj8hHQdSPivbyiyDXmTUTKGXL6hPAqcIpF6qcTcqAeEVqjtHlAwjQD06BJWnmcVhxdeo7NBE41q7HA2xUL3siXJhPid8Q9kUDPXJTihEU0Jn1b-NOOEXlWAXO5J_XyMALXOC93RpjOPxLySzNjtZiohyphenhyphenV5eExf3JloVm8/s2844/Boots%202%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I stamped the whiskey glass and sentiment using the stamp set by Unity called <a href="https://www.unitystampco.com/if-you-were-whiskey-coordinating-die/">If You Were Whiskey</a>. I used Copic Markers to color the whiskey and shade the ice cubes. The panel was cut using a whacky die. I sponged an antique distress ink around the edges. I also added a matching pattern behind the panel for more contrast. I loved the way this turned out. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy8Sz5ZkByz39a1QfY79dkdp3kzEJZaIu3kOhgKhyphenhyphenjEcktxZbXEw9AhES1opw9KgjKhk5UaFhda0LKaG2ioS9aPRXDYLRjSrQfqW-ZU1ULJWMICaXlvQqbaZICLXpYf1p5ufh7MKMTgX13Oy3KfGZMw95HU-HFeqrRGLQzhoiKoaFhcm5WJJFuqmatQwo/s3424/whiskey%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The sentiment is stamped in black using <a href="https://thegreetery.com/collections/january-2024/products/flourished-phrases-love-additions-stamp-set">Flourished Phrases Love Additons Stamp Set</a>.

The pen was created using the <a href="https://thegreetery.com/collections/january-2024/products/inked-well-stamp-set">Inked Well Stamp Set</a> and matching <a href="https://thegreetery.com/collections/january-2024/products/inked-well-die">Dies</a> with Berry Burst and Bubble Bath card stock. I cut a few Berry Blast Glimmer hearts with a die to add some shine. This card had a lot of steps, but I think it was worth the effort. I love this color combo! </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGU7HBOynEMTKE-QUeklxig3NYnOqfwdY_bpFtzaDMPLQTFltg1bhoDECGfunI6ldWPIHCO-zr9DQt510UCJ36VnidV1O_4nKaBdmOl-Xy3DsFmmOCzUyq-cKgQcsjUvYdK3cLcf3LntIH7TP6lfsWKulFrQgWlllZMY9Fzo6kyWqTQ7rmiKXOK7f0dF0/s2767/Love%20letters%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The top layer is Berry Blast Soft Shimmer paper by Stampin Up. I embossed this with a heart embossing folder. I added three Smokey Slate circles cut with dies for my hearts. I stamped the hearts with Berry Blast ink and cut them out with the matching dies. The sentiment is from an old Valentine set I found in my stash. I added a white twine bow and three rhinestones to complete my card. I added some Wink of Stella to the hearts to make them shine! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyna6vQmWXPnbAvK_ymqfjgLEGLt-rvaKrQqiGIhQ2Ln24MEk5S_DfIfL_L5GIPoxcYXd5CHHfdm2xmPH9V1QopDbCJ92qz-T_5AjMRcHsAAjdWfxpJPF5p3scoUYHJhQINrDeJGAdJeP1B48E1eDfA7PFvoCzQGvIcoEWRrO6332AETkeJRMfRGTN0fc/s3131/%203%20hearts%202%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3131" data-original-width="2606" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyna6vQmWXPnbAvK_ymqfjgLEGLt-rvaKrQqiGIhQ2Ln24MEk5S_DfIfL_L5GIPoxcYXd5CHHfdm2xmPH9V1QopDbCJ92qz-T_5AjMRcHsAAjdWfxpJPF5p3scoUYHJhQINrDeJGAdJeP1B48E1eDfA7PFvoCzQGvIcoEWRrO6332AETkeJRMfRGTN0fc/w532-h640/%203%20hearts%202%20.jpg" width="532" /></a></div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.845px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div style="letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">The Paper Players Guidelines:</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">1. </span></span>Create a <b>NEW</b> paper, or digital, project.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">2.

I colored the bird with Copic Markers and added gray ink for the shadow to make the angel. I added an orange beak too so that I used four colors for Sunday Stamps I did not add any more embellishements since it is Clean and Simple Week at The Paper Players. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiW5msQ1YddX_TwuTeP83i-w28lqWHATJ1qCeSAheUmF5G-Yz_k1FRz9h4JEHQa2g4O9dZeLQf52vkxmAepudy9FwxCIvfPTRS2vySwtGhmT29224pJGWzF_2_e81RJTr9EKudjrqi6mtV766zzbSBd9oupQeUdgWnS1BVCHWscZWdK1anQUeyk4JQWzg/s2747/IMG_7624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2747" data-original-width="2199" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiW5msQ1YddX_TwuTeP83i-w28lqWHATJ1qCeSAheUmF5G-Yz_k1FRz9h4JEHQa2g4O9dZeLQf52vkxmAepudy9FwxCIvfPTRS2vySwtGhmT29224pJGWzF_2_e81RJTr9EKudjrqi6mtV766zzbSBd9oupQeUdgWnS1BVCHWscZWdK1anQUeyk4JQWzg/w512-h640/IMG_7624.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.845px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div style="letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">The Paper Players Guidelines:</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">1. </span></span>Create a <b>NEW</b> paper, or digital, project.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">2.

I have no idea what packs they are from but, I was looking through them and this black and white patterned piece popped out at me. I knew I wanted to use it for my background. I used a fun die to cut the white panel. I stamped the stem of my flower in Old Olive ink. The flower is stamped in Real Red and Cherry Cobbler ink. The stamp set is from Stampin Up called Art Gallery. I love this set and use it a lot. The sentiment and die cut is from the same set. I added three black enamel dots to finish my card. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYitHpyx7UjIV5Zkd1rTn-sKFWW0GgeamMeT19Cok8_6fGjtbOxwrZ9ZF91WXuYOJBwLue-OQhLeAJDnFc54OLJMtglEJv5V2-ze4vsUMZIfSvKMOkTohVz2cw6TRdDzq_lDYWM1Xgmbc4-904L3Gt4Kqc_-eWj_D877vle25vP9MUU31IbTOanZvPpcU/s2977/IMG_7621%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The little PI girl is from My Favorite Things. It is called "Happy You Day"! I colored her with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for shine. I cut her out with the matching die. The candles were trimmed with a scalloped die. I added gold enamel dots to complete my design!

So, I decided to design my card with all red. I love the way it turned out. I found the candy cane paper in my stash and the back side was the stripe. I added a Real Red layer first and then added the DSP. The red border was cut with a zig zag die. The Santa is from an old Tim Holtz set called Santa Christmas. I have had this set for years. I added the Ho Ho Ho sentiment in red ink. It is from the same stamp set. I also added red enamel dots. I sponged red ink around the white panel, too.</span><div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3QLxAdQF48i1bp1PRyZ17GLZU-FkBQFVteY236Ztbpifr0Z-I-KnWF6ZHtyKE4vr2aIX30ZHw_ZG-UjHBHcSZZUuRahesB0AmTfmOHTunQbwXjxT6q3sK9e7xRDkzA54rVLA6h09RD5MEJagE0GxAW31Wwdinb37je0fkJwuDIGKgiryrSy8_L74j6ks/s2032/Santa%20ho%20ho.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I used a piece of kraft paper that was ridged when I bought it for the diagonal panel. It added so much texture to the cozy feeling I was trying to create. The tree is from Altenew Night Before Christmas Stamp Set. I added a red layer behind this panel and popped it up with dimensionals. The little package was stamped and colored with Copic Markers. I cut a kraft circle to put behind it. A few yellow stars were added to complete my card. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixiioL8nEPeAS5yGiWC7T3nFjMNIAsEwqzp0C3mlEFJGCz1pa1C3LrI0EMTSZmxYtMdLXc1NxcQ1dBZ64h8URgg9vNdj4etkqNdBRWYhDtpdO6lkAIHjAfub1DLRCme2-vkPwh7ZiuCfJzediSKhfvZuFT0iZeiPpwCuhqpTgvZ506U7G5sO1wnf1O32E/s2806/gift%20tree%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2806" data-original-width="2327" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixiioL8nEPeAS5yGiWC7T3nFjMNIAsEwqzp0C3mlEFJGCz1pa1C3LrI0EMTSZmxYtMdLXc1NxcQ1dBZ64h8URgg9vNdj4etkqNdBRWYhDtpdO6lkAIHjAfub1DLRCme2-vkPwh7ZiuCfJzediSKhfvZuFT0iZeiPpwCuhqpTgvZ506U7G5sO1wnf1O32E/w530-h640/gift%20tree%202.jpg" width="530" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14.3px; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><div style="letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">The Paper Players Guidelines:</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">1. </span></span>Create a <b>NEW</b> paper, or digital, project.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">2.

Well, anyone that follows me knows I love layers and embellishments, so I decided to go with this snowflake. My card base is white and I added a layer cut with with a fun die for some detail. The snow flakes are from an old Stampin Up set called Snow Flurries. I have saved these dies for years and still pull them out every year. I used white glitter paper for the snowflakes. I added the tag using a piece of red and white polka dot paper. I wasn't thrilled with the bow, but I tried five different ones and decided this added just enough contrast to complete the card. The sentiment is stamped in black ink. I really wanted to add more bling, but I reined it in for LeAnne. LOL! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-TQV9RJKg9hoG13s1cRUc8zPeab5qNGpuxUOZz0G961ENmSHQHOJihtjBC1810VKn5r1sX5XzKal4gT7Ipun7N53z_-SzPrYo6HxMnMdgPLIWSvL6kmpKoPU3_43YFPv1TQKjZaVO6eWCM5eVqExSVUHm_Om2o-Pkc-gXCjLRX05BA55_72uFBUgSEeI/s3733/Snow%20tag%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The poinsettia stamp set and die is from <a href="https://altenew.com/products/build-a-flower-poinsettia">Altanew -Poinsettia</a>. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I added a layer of Copper Clay card stock for my background. I used a Kraft paper for the next layer and embossed the panel with a plaid embossing folder. I cut a circle on this layer with a circle die and added a piece of SU All About Autumn DSP. I used the left over scraps of this piece and SU Oxidized Copper paper to cut the leaves and the veins. I used the SU Autumn Leaves Dies to cut all the pieces. I also added a piece of twine behind the leaves for texture. I loved how the leaves turned out. The sentiment is from a stamp set by SugarPea Designs that is retired called Bountiful Blessings . I stamped in brown ink on the Kraft paper and added Copper Clay behind it. I then added gold enamel dots to complete my card. </p></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGAgnZKXwINnz1CLh_ozLoWRwYyZURv0s1oOOHf3LKRq3Z8UBOgKz_GOgCFWx6F1IXC5XJaBG-lkg294BZvQ6SwgcYtKOfKrhrg7hXGO7I0KS0u98k4mQCVp37fVzYC0EZhGoADaYrgxCcKtLCijKCmGZ1trDq8AvxFkUdZDs02-Bj58ndc5tCJnno2do/s3212/Friends%20Leaves%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I embossed the panel with a subtle embossing folder. It adds so much textured. I wrapped the panel with twine to add more texture. I used a piece of watercolored paper and smooshed it with two colors of Distress ink and water. It made a red/orange/yellow look. I used the Oak Leaf stamp and die set from Neat & Tangled. I stamped the panel with Versa Fine ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then cut the leaves out with the die and cut two more leaves with Bermuda Bay for a background. The sentiment is from the same stamp set. I added orange enamel dots to complete my card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Tic-Tac-Toe Board Bottom Row--Embossing, Twine Fall Itme </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSB1V_s6dcH5gnwReISvKuIJeygwmwfVZuTwj9z7b4Z1jIlqU8ER0dpOADgF5Y-GrNAEot2UE2qDHg8sp_V6kQGspG0_DFSiQK-PF1IMAM0gkVpYfHFyV040YemqRE2_XE2qu754F_Z-_ypfLzjwd9CnY01wfV4gWVyrhQ7OAxT8-3LVgDmKC0q3oPz-4/s3157/Grateful%202%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3157" data-original-width="2772" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSB1V_s6dcH5gnwReISvKuIJeygwmwfVZuTwj9z7b4Z1jIlqU8ER0dpOADgF5Y-GrNAEot2UE2qDHg8sp_V6kQGspG0_DFSiQK-PF1IMAM0gkVpYfHFyV040YemqRE2_XE2qu754F_Z-_ypfLzjwd9CnY01wfV4gWVyrhQ7OAxT8-3LVgDmKC0q3oPz-4/w562-h640/Grateful%202%20.jpg" width="562" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; letter-spacing: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> The Paper Players</span></b></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px; text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; letter-spacing: 0.845px; line-height: 21.45px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"></span></span><div style="letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.845px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="color: #503931;"><span style="color: black;">1. </span></span>Create a <b>NEW</b> paper, or digital, project.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">2.
