You're Always on My Nice List The Paper Players Challenge PP761 Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC372

October 26, 2025

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps. I can not believe it is almost Halloween. Not sure where the month has gone, but I wish time would slow down.

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week at The Paper Players. She has a very fun sketch for all of us. This can be used for any type of card. The colors at Sunday Stamps are gorgeous this week. Some of my favorite colors are in this combo. So have fun and get creative!

I used Cherry Cobbler card stock for my background. I embossed the panel with a plaid embossing folder. The two strips were cut with some Christmas paper scraps in my stash. I found this Santa in my ephemera stash and found an old MFT stamp that I could use on the list. Such an easy card to create. Three enamel dots were added to complete my card.

In All Things Give Thanks The Paper Players PP760

October19, 2025

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 very timely Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us. "Foliage" is the theme. So have fun and get creative. Just remember to keep it CAS!

My card is created on an Early Expresso card base. I added a panel of Very Vanilla. The leaves were stenciled using a few distress ink colors. I cut the panel using the SU Textured Notes dies. I sponged brown ink around the panel. The sentiment is stamped in brown ink. The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps Fall For You. The matching dies were used to cut out the sentiment. Three enamel dots were added to complete my card.

Bring on the Boos! The Paper Players Challenge PP759

October 12, 2025

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

The amazing Elizabeth has a fun color challenge for all of us. It screamed Halloween to me, but you can create any type of card with these colors. So get creative and have fun!

I found this purple cobweb paper in my stash and added it on a black card base. I used water color paper and distress inks to created the martini drink and olives. The dies to cut out all of these pieces are from Spellbinders. Olive Martinis Sketch Dies and Boos Cocktails Etched Dies were combined. It is time consuming to cut all the pieces, but I think it is so worth the effort. My Martini loving friend, Pam will love this card. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up set that I kept in my stash.
