Thanks So Very Much The Paper Players PP783

 April 26, 2026

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 challenge for all of us.  You can make any type of card you need in your stash with this one.  So have fun and get creative! 


I needed a special thank you card for a dear friend and I found this fabulous paper in my stash.  I used the background sheet and the swirl on the opposite side for my border.  The feather was heat embossed in white powder using the stamp set Inked Well from The Greetery and I used the matching Dies.  The ink well and quill are from the same set.  I haven't used this set often, but I think it needs more love.  The sentiment was stamped four times and stacked for dimension.  It is also from The Greetery  Scripted Sentiments and the matching Dies were used.  The "so very much" is from the same set and stamped on the card.  I added three black enamel dots to complete my card.

Just For You Paper Players Challenge PP782 and Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC384

 April 19, 2026

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps. 

The creative Christy is the hostess at The Paper Players this week.  She has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us.  The theme is perfect for Spring--"Baby Animals."  So many choices, just keep it CAS.  Our color combo at Sunday Stamps is perfect for the season, so I combined these challenges this week. 


Use a minimum of 3 colors


When I think of CAS, I usually go with white.  I was looking through my embossing folders and found this one in my stash.  I think it was one of my first embossing folders.  I have had it for years and thought it needed a little love.  I adore the little tulips.  I bought the Stampin' Up Storybook Friends paper pack and die frames last year and never used them.  So, I decided on this fun frame and cut it out with pink card stock.  The little mouse was in the paper pack and her cup brought in yellow, pink and green from the color combo for Sunday Stamps.

In A World Where You Can Be Anything The Paper Players Challenge PP781

April 12, 2026

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps.

The amazing Jan is our hostess this week and she has a fun Color Challenge for all of us!  We can't wait to see what you create with this color combo. 







My card is created using papers from the Carta Bella Honey Bee paper pack.  I added a Smoky Slate panel for the background and then cut different layers and backed them with Daffodil Delight to make them pop.  The sentiment is from the same pad of paper.  I love when the paper does all the work.
