Merry Christmas The Paper Players Challenge PP569 and Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC271

 November 28, 2021

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

The lovely Anne Marie is the hostess at The Paper Players  this week.  She has a fabulous sketch challenge for all of us. 

The Sunday Stamps Challenge is a beautiful color challenge.  It was so easy to combine these two challenges this week! 

My card is created on a white card base.  I used Ever Eden's Paper Pack by Stampin' Up! The base is Evening Evergreen (SU) and the shapes to match the sketch are from Ever Eden.  The Merry Christmas Circle Frame Die is cut in red card stock.  I used the Circle Shaker Pouch for the shaker.  I filled it with all different sequins, beads, and stars for fun.  I added a few gold stars to complete my card.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!!!  I hope you enjoy this wonderful holiday!

My card is created using the diagonal:  Stitching, Holiday, Plaid

Sprinkling Some Kindness Paper Players Challenge PP568

 November 21, 2021

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

The amazing Laurie is our hostess this week and she has a fun Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us!  "Gnomes or Fairies" is the theme for this week! Have fun and we can't wait to see your creations!  

I must admit I had to do some digging to find a stamp set for this week.  I know gnomes are so popular, but I don't own any stamps with gnomes!  I remembered I had this stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas.  This company is no longer in business but, I saved this set because it reminds me of my Grand Daughter, Victoria.  So, I cut a white card base and another layer in white with a scalloped die.  I stamped this little fairy and the sentiment in black and colored her with Copic Markers.  I added Wink of Stella for lots of shine and also added Stickles to her wings.  I know this is Clean and Simple week, but I couldn't resist a few sparkling sequins to complete my card.  

1. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
2. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
3. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
4. Please be considerate of our requests; entries that do not follow any of these rules will be deleted without notification.
5. Have fun, and thank you for playing with us!

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

I designed this fun sketch!  I hope you enjoy creating with it! 

My card is created on a white card base.  I added an Early Expresso panel on top of the base.  Then, I added an orange panel and embossed it with a pumpkin embossing folder.  I found two fall patterns in my stash and cut the two rectangle panels matching the sketch.  I added a blue and orange circle.  The little pie and sentiment is from Lawn Fawn --Cutie Pie is the name of the set.  I colored the pie and cut it out with the matching dies.

Silent Night, Holy Night Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc139

 November 12, 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 is created using the middle row: Inlaid Die, Free, Silver or Gold.

My card is created on a white card base.  I sponged blue Distress ink on a white panel.  After it dried, I used a paint brush and flecked white paint mixed with water to create the speckles.  The beautiful inlaid die is from Birch Press--String Art Nativity Star.  I cut it with silver foil.  I added the main star back in the die and then added a silver embellishment that I found in my stash.  The sentiment is heat embossed in silver. 

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!

Let Our Lives Be Full of Both Thanks & Giving Paper Players Challenge PP566

 October 7, 2021

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

I am the hostess this week and I have a timely theme challenge for all of you!  "Give Thanks" is our theme and we all have so much to be thankful for.  We can't wait to see your creations!  Have fun!

My card is created on a white card base.  I cut a leaf panel using the MFT Lots of Leaves Cover Up Die.   I used orange and brown distress inks and sponged the colors on the leaves.  I just mixed them together until I was happy with it.  The sentiment is stamped in brown using a Sugar Pea stamp that is retired.  I think it is called Lovely Trees.  I added 3 brown sequins to complete my card.
