 October 30, 2022

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

The Amazing Jaydee is our hostess at The Paper Players this week.  She has a fun Tic Tac Toe board for all of us!   There are so many possibilities with this board!

Sunday Stamps has a fabulous Fall Color Challenge this week! Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create! 




My card is created on a white card base.  I cut a piece of Soft Suede (SU)  card stock with a Penny Black die--Antique Frame -and used the frame for the background.  I used the inner piece to create the main panel.  I used dimensional tape to adhere it to the card.  The leaf is created using Distress Oxide Inks and a stencil from Lavinia Stencil-Leaf.  I added a sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps-Fall For You that I embossed with gold embossing powder.  I cut it out with the matching die.  I added a few enamel dots to complete my card.

Welcome Baby! Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC 294

 October 16, 2022

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

We have a fabulous sketch challenge for all of you!

The amazing Stef created this sketch!  It is so versatile, too!  You can use it for any type of card.  I love that!



My card is created on a white card base.  I added large blue polka dots on the base.  The two coordinating papers were used to cut the rectangle at the top and the striped banner.  The little onsie and diaper pens are cut from SugarPea Designs "Welcome Baby" dies and stamps.  These are no longer available, but I will always keep these in my stash.  Just perfect to welcome a new baby!  I added the word "BABY" on Night of Navy card stock.  I cut it out with a die five times for lots of dimension.  It is also a retired die from SugarPea Designs.   I added a white twine bow to complete my card

There's Magic in the Air The Paper Players PP612

 October 9, 2022

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

The amazing Laurie is our hostess and she has a fun color challenge for all of us!  We can't wait to see what you create. 



My card is created on a white card base.  I added a layer of black and then the white panel.  The white layer is watercolor paper so it adds texture.  I used a Halloween stencil to create the background I used grey ink and a sponge.  The stencil is from a company that is no longer in business--Craftin Desert Divas---.   The little witch, stars, cats and bats are from a stamp set from SugarPea Designs, called Bewitched .  I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers.   The sentiment is from the same set.

I Just Hugged You in My Thoughts! The Paper Players Challenge PP611

October 2, 2022

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

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a fantastic Theme Challenge for all of us!  "Changing Seasons" is so appropriate with the seasons changing and the days getting shorter.  We can't wait to see what you create!  



My card is created on a white card base.  I added a piece of Early Expresso card stock to the base.  I used the plaid paper from Lawn Fawn for the next two layers.  I have had this paper for a while, so not sure if it is still available.  I used the MFT Inside & Out Stitched Arch Stax Dies to cut these panels.  Then I cut a third layer with Very Vanilla card stock.  The little girl is a PI Girl from My Favorite Things.  The Jumping With Joy set is just perfect for changing season,  I colored her with Copic Markers and paper pieced her pants and scarf.  The leaves are cut with the plaid papers I used in the background.  I cut the girl and leaves with the matching dies.  I stamped the sentiment in dark brown.  It is from the same stamp set.

My card is created on a white card base.  I added a top layer of white using the Nordic Frame Die.  I used the Picket Fences Shadow of Leaves stencil and shaded the leaves with orange, brown and cream.  I kept blending the inks until I was satisfied with the colors.  I cut the Sympathy Die from SugarPea Designs five times to stack them up for lots of dimension. The sentiment "with deepest" is stamped in dark brown on Very Vanilla card card stock and I sponged around it with dark brown ink.
