I'm Thinking of You!!!!! The Paper Players Challenge PP672

January 14, 20224

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 very fun Color Challenge for all of us!  Black and White with a BOLD POP of Colors is the combo.  We can't wait to see what you select for your fun color!  Have fun and get creative!  



I have a box of just random sheets of patterned paper.   I have no idea what packs they are from but, I was looking through them and this black and white patterned piece popped out at me.  I knew I wanted to use it for my background.  I used a fun die to cut the white panel.  I stamped the stem of my flower in Old Olive ink.  The flower is stamped in Real Red and Cherry Cobbler ink.  The stamp set is from Stampin Up called Art Gallery.  I love this set and use it a lot.  The sentiment and die cut is from the same set.  I added three black enamel dots to finish my card.

Happy You Day! The Paper Players Challenge PP671 Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC326

 January 7, 2024

t's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps.  

The Amazing Ann is the hostess at The Paper Players this week.  The Theme Challenge is to create a Birthday Card, "Cheers to the Years"!  There is always someone to celebrate, so this will be such a great theme to start the New Year!

This fantastic Sketch Challenge at Sunday Stamps by Heather is perfect for any type of card. Have fun and get creative! 




I found some coordinating papers in a my stash and with the New Year, I thought the gold flakes were festive.  The little PI girl is from My Favorite Things.  It is called "Happy You Day"!  I colored her with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for shine.  I cut her out with the matching die.  The candles were trimmed with a scalloped die.  I added gold enamel dots to complete my design!  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Let's Celebrate Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC325

December 24, 2023

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

For the last challenge of the year, we have a very festive color challenge for all of you!  We can't wait to see what you create! 



My card is created on a white card base.  I added a back panel and a red panel cut with a wonky die.  The light gray window pane was cut with a die.  The little girl is from a Stampingbella set called Celebrating Squidgy.  I think it is retired now.  I heated embossed it in gold embossing powder and then I colored her with Copic Markers.  I added Wink of Stella for shine.  I fussy cut her and adhered her with pop up dots.  A few gold metal dots were added for fun!
