Bite Me! PP403

July 29, 2018

 It’s Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

 I am the hostess this week and I have a fun sketch challenge for all of you!  I love layers and this sketch can be used for any type of card.  I can't wait to see all of your fabulous ideas! 


My card is created on a white card base.  I trimmed a piece of black card stock to fit the front of the card.  The ant patterned paper was cut for the main panel.  I trimmed two coordinating papers to make the two rectangles for the sketch.  The boy and sentiment are a digital stamp but,  I can't find where I purchased it.     Sorry  --I had it in my files.  I printed it  and then trimmed it with a tag die.  I colored the image with Copic Markers.  Wink of Stella and a black ribbon was added to complete my card.

Be Jolly Keeping Christmas

July 25, 2018

 WOW!  5 months until Christmas!  Time to get started on your stash!

I am honored to be a part of the Keeping Christmas Inspiration Blog Hop.  


It's time for this month's installment of Keeping Christmas with The Challenge Design Team!  We will be sharing Christmas creations on the 25th of each month!!!

The whole idea is to have some Christmas cards and projects in our stash ready to go for December 2018!

I had so much fun creating this trio of cards.  



All of my cards are on a 5 X 5 white card base.  I dug through my box of Christmas papers and found these matching pieces.  I used the assembly line method and cut the backgrounds first.  I added two rectangles on each card base and mounted them on Lemon Lime Twist card stock.  



I stamped the snowmen in Memento black ink.  The stamp is from Artistic Outpost Frosty and Friends.  I trimmed the stamped image and added a background in Lemon Lime Twist card stock.   I used colored pencils to color the scarves and mittens.  

The sentiments were cut using the Lawn Fawn Winter Big Scripty word dies.  I cut "Be Jolly" and "Be Merry" four times and added Glossy Accents for lots of shine. 


Enamel Dots were added on all the cards. Each one has a personality of it's own.  I hope these make your smile! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

The hop is hosted by the fabulous Kelly Lunceford's blog, so head over there to start from the beginning.

ENJOY the blog hop!  I hope we inspired you to make a few cards, too!

HUGS!

Hope This Makes You Smile PP402

July 22, 2018

 It’s Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

 The amazing Nance is our hostess this week and she has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for us!  She wants us to use "Negative Space" on our cards.  We can't wait to see what you create! 




My card is created on a white card base.  I did add an orange background in order to make my stenciled sunshine pop.  I used a stencil and Fossilized Amber Distress ink to create the sun rays.  The Hope die is from Concord and 9th Hope bundle.  It includes the die and the stamp set.  I covered the back of the die with a piece of orange card stock and stamped the sentiment in black.  A few sequins were added to complete my card.  I hope Nance thinks it passes for CAS.  LOL!  It is always hard for me to stay clean on a card.

July 18, 2018

 Today I am sharing a fun card that I created for the Craftin Desert Divas-- Let's Get Creative Coloring Challenge.

 Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE Hippos! 
This adorable little guy is a digital stamp called Get Well Hippo.  I copied him on Neenah Solar White paper and colored him with Copic Markers.  I added some Wink of Stella for shine.  

The base card is a 5 X 5 white card base.  The  background is created using the Hearts Galore Stencil and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink.  The black frame is created using the Inside Scalloped Square Dies and black card stock.  The sentiment and the little doctor bag is from the Get Well Stamp Set.  I stamped the sentiment with Memento black ink and colored the doctor bag with Copic Markers.  I added a few clear sequins for fun!   Hope my card brightens your day!

Prayers and Love PP401

June 15, 2018

It’s Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

 A huge thank you to everyone that played in our 400th challenge!  All of your kind words and comments made us feel so special!  The gallery was amazing!  We are very thankful for your support each week!

 The amazing Joanne-from across the pond is our hostess this week.  I absolutely LOVE this color combo.  Although my first thought was flowers, I am excited to see what you create!  Use your imagination!  



I created a card and a wine tag this week.  I was going to a party and needed a tag for my hostess gift and then I loved it so much I made a card for someone special!  

The stamped set is Hello Lovely from Concord and 9th.  On both projects, I stamped the image with Versa Fine ink and heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder.  I colored the image with Zig Clean Water Brushes and an aqua painter.  Wink of Stella was added to the flowers.  



 The prayers sentiment was cut using the Hero Arts Prayers stamp and die set.  The Cheers was cut using gold glitter paper and black card stock.  I added a few gold sequins on my card.
