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.

Warmest Wishes The Paper Players Challenge PP715

November 10, 2024

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

I am the hostess this week and I have a bright, bold Color Challenge for all of you! The possibilities are endless --so have fun! You can create any type of card you want with these colors! Bright colors always make me smile! I love what the DT did with my colors!

I had so much fun creating this non-traditional Christmas card. I added a purple background to my card base. The turquoise panel was embossed for texture. The ornaments are from the Simon Says Stamps Holiday Ornaments stamp and die set. I colored the ornaments with Copic Markers and cut the purple strings with the die. I added Glossy Accents on the candy and to the carrot nose to make them shiny. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Happy You Day Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC348

November 10, 2024

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

I just love this sketch by our Melissa! It can be used for any type of card. This one is a keeper! Have fun and get creative!

I needed a special birthday card for a dear friend. She loves pink so, I had fun making this for her. I found these fun papers and mixed and matched the patterns to create the sketch. The little cutie and sentiment is from MFT Pure Innocence. Birthday Girl is fun to color and I used the matching dies. I added Wink of Stella and rhinestones for more bling!
