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

The amazing LeAnne  is the hostess at The Paper Players and she has a very fun CAS Challenge for all of us!  Just remember it is Clean and Simple Week.  

CLEAN AND SIMPLE WEEK
MINIMAL LAYERS
LITTLE TO NO EMBELLISHMENTS
LOTS OF CLEAN WHITE SPACE (NO PATTERN)

The Sunday Stamps Color Challenge is fabulous and it paired perfectly with the card I wanted to create!   I love this great color combo!  
 
Have fun and get creative with your projects! 

 

 



   
My card is created on a white card base.  I added a piece of orange and yellow plaid for my background.  I added a white rectangle panel in the center of the card.  The cat and it's bed is from Clearly Besotted "You're Purrfect stamp set.  It is no longer available for purchase, but I love the set and keep it in my stash.  I used the matching dies to cut out the kitty and bed.  The sentiment is stamped in black.  It is from the same stamp set.  I colored the two images with Copic Markers.  I added the sand color ink around the edges to bring in that color from the color palette.

Let's Celebrate Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc101

 Feb. 18, 2021

It's time for a new challenge at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

We hope you will play along with our new board! 


My card was created using the middle row:  Celebrate, Dots, Stripes


My card is a 5 X 5 square.  I added a Navy background and then cut 1/4" strips in three colors and added them to a smaller white square.  After the colors were complete, I ran it through my Big Shot with an embossing folder to add lots of dots/circles.  I used star dies from Stampin Up in all three colors.  The sentiment is stamped in black.  Enamel dots were added to complete my card. 



Please stop by and see all the fabulous cards by the Design Team.  There is so much inspiration!

We hope you will play along with us this week!

The amazing Anne Marie is our hostess this week and she has a FUN theme challenge for all of us!   Let's use Hearts and/or Stars on  our projects this week! 




My card is created for my grandson.  I know he will love it.  I used a slim line die for the red scalloped background.  I created the shark using the MFT Baby Shark Die.  I used turquoise, gray and red papers.  I accented the body and eyes with a white gel pen.  I cut out turquoise hearts with a SU punch and added them around the sentiment.  The "I Chews You" is from the MFT Sharky Sentiments Stamp Set.  The "Will You Be May Valentine is from a stamp set I found in my stash!

My twins, Joe and John have a birthday this week, so I made them cards using this sketch.  I added some fun polka dots to the background and then cut the strips using playing card symbols on the DSP.  They both like to play poker, so I thought this was fun.  I added some white twine,  a big red heart and another smaller heart using a different pattern.  The sentiment is from the MFT stamp You're Super stamp set.  I could not find this stamp set on their page.  It must be retired.

You're My Forever Galentine Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc099

 Feb. 4, 2021


It's time for a new challenge at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

We hope you will play along with our new board! 


I used the first column to complete my card:  Pink/Gray, Ribbon and Fun Fold.



My card is created on a white card base.  I added a Basic Gray panel that I embossed with for a subtle texture.  Then I added a small white card for the fun fold.  I covered the top with polka dots.  I found this heart die in my stash and added a beautiful red heart.  The little bow was added to the top for fun.  The sentiment is from MFT My Galentine.  I left the inside card blank so, I could write a message.

We hope you will play along with us this week!
