So Grateful The Paper Players Challenge PP711

October 13, 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 beautiful Color Challenge for all of us! She wants us to feature shades of orange and brown in our projects! So get creative and have some fun!

My card is created using a wood grained paper for my background. Then Iused Very Vanilla and stamped all the leaves using Distress inks. I sponged the edge with a vintage color of ink. The sentiment is cut using brown and orange paper and it is from Concord & 9th More To Say Dies. I love that is has the outline to make the sentiment pop. I added a few gold enamel dots to complete my card.

Love & Laughter Forever After The Paper Players Challenge PP710 Sunday Stamps Challenge 346

October 6, 2024

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

The amazing Jan is our hostess this week and she has a lovely Theme Challenge for all of us! "Love is in the Air". There are so many reasons we need "Love" cards in our stash. Weddings, Anniversarys, Engagements, Valentine's, a Love Note or just a card for a friend to tell them how much you love them. So get creative and have fun!

This card was made for a very dear friend that got married recently. I LOVE this gorgeous DSP called Regal Winter by Stampin Up. Blackberry Bliss was added to the top of the card base. Then I added a layer of Regal Winter floral paper. The three rectangle strips were added using Blackberry Bliss card stock. The foliage was cut using the Forever Fern dies from SU. The sentiment is also from this stamp set. I added a few rhinestones to complete my card. I love how it turned out.

Hello Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC345

Sept. 29, 2024

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

We have a Color Challenge for all of you We hope you have fun with these bright, vibrant colors. I love them! You can make any type of card with this combo.

My card is created using Whimsy Stamps Pink Autumn paper pack. I added a black panel to start and added a piece of the paper to the next layer. I used another sheet of DSP and cut the frame using a die in my stash. I can't find who makes the die though. I added a layer of foam tape behind this panel to make the frame 3D. The hello is cut using the Honey Bee Stamps Hello Cuts die. I love that is has the outline part to make it pop off the card, I cut a few orange, magenta and purple leaves to add behind the sentiment. I love these bright, non-traditional colors for Fall.
