For You The Paper Players Challenge PP794

July 12, 2026

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

The amazing Jaydee is our hostess this week and she has a gorgeous color challenge for us. This combo is so fun and I chose to use different shades of these colors So have fun and get creative!

I found this coral gingham check paper in my stash so, I used it for my background The Spellbinders April 2026 Large Die of the month was used to create the basket and all the grocery items. It is time consuming to create all the elements, but I love how it turned out. I used shades of all the colors in the combo to create my fresh market basket. I embossed the basket with a plaid embossing folder.

HOPE Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC390

July 12, 2026

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

We have a gorgeous color challenge for all of you. I love this combo of colors!

I used two shades of green cardstock to create my base panels. The top one is cut with a scalloped die and embossed with a swirly embossing folder. The breast cancer ribbon is stamped in pink ink and cut with the matching die. It is a old stamp by Cas-ual Fridays called Hope. They are no longer in business. I will keep this set in my stash. It does seem like I have to use it too often. I die cut the word "hope" five times and stacked them for dimension.

Sending My Love The Paper Players Challenge PPPP793

July 5, 2026

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

The Amazing Ann is our hostess this week and she has a fun theme challenge for all of us. Summer Love! Wedding cards, anniversary cards, any card that conveys love - the sky is the limit on what you can create when love is the theme.

I don't have any weddings or anniversaries to celebrate this summer, so I thought I would make a fun card that can go to anyone. I cut a scalloped panel in white and used a heart stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress ink to created my main panel. I used a LOVE die from my stash. It looks groovy, doesn't it? I used bright pink card stock for the background. My sentiment is stamped in black. A few enamel dots were added for fun.
