Wherever You Go The Paper Players Challenge PP787

May 24, 2026

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

The lovely LeAnne is our hostess this week. She has a fabulous sketch challenge for all of us. I love sketches because you can make any type of card you need in your stash. So have fun and get creative!

I created this card for Victoria to celebrate the end of 7th grade. She loves purple and roller skating so, I thought this would be a fun card for her. I used the American Crafts Jen Hadfield Groovy Darlin paper pack. The disco ball was cut using the Spellbinders Disco Balls Etched Dies using white glimmer paper. The sentiment on the front and inside were created using an retired Papertrey Ink set called Shakers and Sprinkles. I added the disco stars cut from the glimmer paper.

Have A Rice Day! The Paper Players PP786

May 17, 2026

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

The amazing Ann is our hostess this week and she has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us. The theme is "food". There are endless possibilities with this week's challenge. So have fun and remember to keep it CAS.

Remember, when we say Clean and Simple, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments

Have plenty of open space, also known as "white" space

Are simple and uncluttered

I embossed a black panel with a bamboo embossing folder for my background. The little penguin with his sushi was stamped using an old stamp set by SugarPea Designs. They are no longer in business but, I still have all my stamps and love them. This one always makes me smile. The name of the stamp set is "Rice, Rice, Baby". I colored the image with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the same set. I didn't add any embellishments to keep it CAS.

Beautiful Day Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC386

May 17, 2026

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

This week we have a very fun sketch by Laurie. You can create any type of card with this versatile sketch. We can't wait to see what you create!

My card is created using papers from the Carta Bella Honey Bee paper pack. I backed the rectangles with black card stock. The rest of the designs was created from the paper pack. This card was so easy to create. I love it when the paper does all the work. The sentiment is cut using one of the papers. No embellishments were added.
