Thinking of You The Paper Players Challenge PP806

October 4, 2026

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

The Amazing Ann is our hostess this week. The theme is Nature's Landscapes. Let's celebrate Mother Nature and showcase oceans, rivers, lakes, mountains, deserts and snowy scenes, etc. We can't wait to see your creations. Have fun and get creative!

My card is a 5 x 5 square. I chose a piece of DSP from the Beautiful Gallery's paper pack from Stampin' Up. This woodsy scene looked like a perfect place to take a peaceful hike. I used the double vision technique on my card. You can find many videos on You Tube to try this technique. I used dimensionals to elevate every other strip. I cut a vellum oval and then a white oval to add a simple sentiment. Three rhinestones were added to complete the card. It is a very fun technique and easy to do. It adds so much dimension to your card.

Trick or Treat Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC396

October 4, 2026

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

We have a gorgeous color combo for all of you! It's shouts Fall but, feel free to create any type of card.

I had so much fun creating this card. I used all the new dies from Spellbinders from the dies of the month clubs in September. The embossing folder was the perfect background for my pumpkin car. I ran a white stamp pad over all the scary faces. The pumpkins, ghost, skull, bones, witch hate and bats were cut from all the dies. The sentiment is from the same set. It just takes a lot of time to cut out all the little pieces to assemble the design. I put a spinner on the back of the pumpkins so the car will spin around. I used white gel pin to add some highlights.
