It's A Beautiful Day Today Paper Players Challenge PP580

Feb. 27, 2022

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

The "AMAZING" Anne Marie is our hostess and she has an amazing sketch for all of us.  This one is a keeper and will be used many times.  We can't wait to see what you create. 

My card is created on a white card base.  I added a fun Spring Patterned Paper from my stash.  I cut it with a postage stamp die cut.  I used the reverse side of the paper for the horizontal strip.  I cut pink and white gingham with a sunburst die.  The umbrella and sentiment are stickers that came in the pack.  This card was so easy to create.  No stamping and just fun to have on hand to send as a  happy note.  I did add some green enamel dots to complete my card.

Feb 20, 2022

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

The Amazing Ann is our hostess this week at The Paper Players.  She has a FUN "CLEAN and SIMPLE" Challenge for all of us.  The theme is "Wild about Wildlife"!  

Remember:      Clean and Simple Rules:

• Have minimal layers and embellishments
• Have plenty of open space

Sunday Stamps has a fun color challenge this week.   I love when I can combine two challenges!  

We can't wait to see what you create!  Have fun!

Use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral of your choice.

My card is created on a white card base.  I added a layer of blue using a stitched rectangle die.  The top layer is white and cut with a stitched die.  The giraffe is cut using a die set called Joyful Giraffe. I used Kraft and Early Expresso papers on the giraffe.  The sentiment is stamped in black using the Giraffe Greetings stamp set.  I really wanted to add embellishments, but I kept in CAS for the challenge.

Best Friends are the Best Therapy Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC276

 Feb. 6, 2022

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

Amy has a fun sketch for all of us!  Have fun and get creative!

                                            Sketch by Amy

This card was very easy to create.  I started with a white card base.  I added one panel of gold glitter paper.  Then I added a piece of Valentine DSP I found in my stash.  It had gold foil hearts on it.  The top layer is from a piece of Valentine paper in my stash.  I used a circle die to cut it out and that made the sentiment.  No stamping was done on this card.  I love when the paper does the work.  Then I cut a little banner using a die from each paper for the finishing element to match the sketch.

WOW Tic Tac Toe Challenege #tttc147

 Feb. 3, 2022

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 right column:  CAS, Word Die Cut, Stencil.

My card is created on a black card base.  I added a panel of white that I stenciled sun beams on.  I used yellow and orange distress inks to create the background.  I heat embossed in black the Swallowtail Stamp from Stampin Up.  It have been retired for years, but I still love this stamp.  The WOW is cut using a word die from MFT.  It was cut in black and in yellow four times to add dimension to the sentiment.  A few sparkling clear sequins 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!

HUGS!
