Beautiful Inside & Out The Paper Players PP680

March 10, 2024

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 all of us!  I can not begin to express how much I love these bright colors together and black and white always make such a statement.  So have fun and get creative!  



I had a lot of ideas for this challenge, but after looking through a lot of my stamps, I decided to use these wacky flowers.  This set is from My Favorite Things and it is called Doddled Blooms.  It is retired now.  I stamped the flowers  in black ink and colored them with Copic Markers.  I used the matching dies to cut them out.  I used a cover plate to cut the black frame for the flowers.  I cut the sentiment with a Beautiful Die from Simon Says Stamp.  I heat embossed the words in white embossing powder.  I added green enamel dots to complete my card.  I love the way this turned out.

Look at this amazing sketch challenge we have for you! This sketch so versatile and can be used for any type of card.  We can't wait to see what you create! 




My card is created on a white card base.  I found this tropical paper in a paper pack and decided to use it to create the elements in this sketch.  The flamingo is stamped in pink using a stamp set be SugarPea Designs.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  The set is no longer available.  I am used three gold enamel dots to complete my card.

HAPPY SPRING! The Paper Players Challenge PP 679

March 3, 2024  

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

I am the hostess this week and I have a fun and timely THEME for all of you!  Rainy Days---Spring is coming and we know lots of rainy days are ahead.  So get creative and let's see all your great ideas! 



My card is created on a white card base.  I added a black panel to the front.  I found this little scrap of black and white polka dots/ yellow flowers in my scrap box and that sparked my idea for this card.  I added a black/white striped sunshine die cut behind the boots.  I got the boot die once years ago as a gift.  I can not find the maker.  I cut the boots out in yellow and then paper pieced the red tulips and green stems over the yellow die cut.  I added some Copic Markers to the boots for dimension.  The sentiment is stamped in black ink.
