Christmas Bells Are Ringing The Paper Players PP717

November 24, 2024

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

The Sensational Stef is our hostess this week and she has a fantastic sketch for all of us! This one is so versatile and can be used for any type of card. So pull out those supplies and start crafting!

My card is created by adding some fabulous plaid I found in my stash. I love the gold in this plaid. The diagonal strip is gold foil. Then I added a Night of Navy square cut with a stitched die. I used the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layer Dies to create the bells. The sentiment is also from Honey Bee Stamps. Jingle All the Way Cuts has so many fabulous sentiments. A few gold gems completed my card.

Peace On Earth Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC349

November 24, 2024

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

We have a beautiful color challenge for all of you! These colors will make gorgeous winter or holiday cards, but feel free to get creative. We can't wait to see what you create!

To create my card I added a black panel to the card base. I then used a dark green panel for the next layer. I used the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies to create all the snowflakes. I cut them in silver and gold foil. I just started layering them and couldn't stop. LOL! It was a little time consuming, but worth all the effort. I added another green panel and heat embossed the sentiment with gold powder. I added a few gold sequins to complete my card.

Ho, Ho, Ho The Paper Players Challenge PP716

November 17, 2024

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

Our Queen of Clean and Simple, Jaydee is our hostess this week. She has a very timely theme for us. "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" is perfect for the season. So, grab your crafty items and get creative. Just remember to keep it CAS!!

My card is created using an embossing folder to create the back panel. The Santa is from Picket Fences stamps. It is called Santa Claus Comes Tonight. I colored him with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for shine. I fussy cut him and attached him to the panel. The sentiment is from a stamp set in my stash. I didn't add any embellishments since this was a CAS challenge. That is always hard for me.
