WELCOME The Paper Players PP687

 April 28, 2024

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

The wonderful Joanne is our hostess this week and she has an amazing sketch challenge for all of us!  This sketch is so versatile and you can create any type of card with this special sketch!  Have fun and get creative!


My neighbors just had a baby girl!  I am so excited.  They named her Betty!  How sweet is that.  I wanted to make a fun card for her, but didn't want to use pastels. So, I looked through all my paper packs and found this fun, bright pink paper.  I added a panel for the background and cut the four squares with a coordinating paper using square dies.  The white circle was cut with a die and I sponged it with ink.  The little onesie is from a "vintage" Stampin' Up set called Something for Baby.  I will always keep this gem in my stash.  I don't make many baby cards, but it sure is an amazing set when I do.  Of course, every Southern girl needs pearls, too!  A little welcome was added to complete my card.

Happy Birthday The Paper Players Challenge PP686

April 21, 2024

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

The lovely Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a beautiful Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us.  "Spring Flowers" is the theme.  I know we will have a lot of gorgeous blooms in the gallery this week.  

Remember, this is a CLEAN and SIMPLE challenge.  When The Paper Players use the term “Clean and Simple”, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered







I added a gorgeous plaid background to my card front.  I just love these plaid papers for Spring cards.  I used the Altenew Beautiful Lady stamp set.  I can't find this set on the Altenew site, but I think there are still companies that sell this set.  The beautiful Lantana bloom made me smile!  I stepped out of my comfort zone and used colored pencils to color this flower.  I still need a lot of work with blending, but I enjoyed the process.  I added a simple Happy Birthday sentiment from the same set.  I used a postage die to cut the white panel.  I wanted to add embellishments, but I kept it CAS.  


  1. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
  2. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
  3. Please be considerate of our requests; entries that do not follow any of these rules will be deleted without notification.

Birthday Wishes Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC333

 April 14, 2024

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

We have a gorgeous color combo for you to work with.  

Just remember to use a minimum of 3 colors is your project.  Have fun and get creative! 



My card is created on a white card base.  I added two rectangle strips of pattened paper that I found in my stash that had the same colors.  I cut a white panel with a die and embossed it with polka dots.  The vintage jar is stamped using the Sunny Studios Vintage Jars set.  I used the matching Dies to cut out the jar.  I added twine around the jar lid.  The daffodils are from Sunny Studios, too.  I used the Daffodils Dreams stamp set and the matching Dies to cut out the flowers.  The sentiment is from the same set.

Bikinis Are Like Fries The Paper Players Challenge PP685

 April 14, 2024 

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

I am the hostess this week and you know I love bright colors.  SO ---get creative and show me what you can do with this amazing color combo.  



I love slim-line cards and summer time, so I pulled out a little bikini die from an old SSS set-"Sea You Soon."  I used the four colors of ink to create these fun bikinis.  I just took the stamp pads and smudged the ink on white card stock.  Then I used the bikini die and cut them out.  Easy Peasy-  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.     I used scallop slim-line dies from PinkFresh Studio to create the panels.  Lots of enamel dots were added to complete this fun card. 

  1. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
  2. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours

Sunshine & Rainbows The Paper Players Challenge PP684

 April 7, 2024

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

The lovely Anne Marie is our hostess this week and she has a fun Theme Challenge for all of us!  Sunshine & Rainbows---have fun and get creative!





I had so much fun creating this card.  I found a paper pack that had all these fun patterns.  Rainbows, stripes and polka dots.  So I just started layering all these fun patterns.  The little dog, umbrella, duck and clouds are from the Sunny Studios Rain or Shine  stamp set.  I colored them with Copic Markers and added some Wink of Stella for shine.   I used the matching Dies to cut out all of the images. I didn't add a sentiment because I am not sure who I will send it to yet.  I think the scene speaks for itself!  



  1. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
  2. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
  3. Please be considerate of our requests; entries that do not follow any of these rules will be deleted without notification.
