Gobble Gobble The Paper Players Challenge PP763 Sunday Stamps SSC373

November 9, 2025

It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps.

The lovely Jan is our hostess at The Paper Players this week. She has a beautiful fall color combo for all of us. We have a fun sketch on Sunday Stamps this week. I decided to combine the two challenges.

I found this fun two tones of green Fall paper in my stash. I added a strip of wood grain on the bottom. The little turkey was colored with Copic Markers. I used brown and Cajun Craze to color this little pilgrim. The gobble gobble came with this retired stamp set. Three enamel dots were added to complete my card.

I have not played along with any challenges for a few years, but loved the fabulous sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.

I needed a birthday card for someone very special and decided I would use this sketch by Kim to make her card. She just loves pink, so I searched my paper stash and came up with this.

I followed the sketch to create the background for my card. The mailbox, letter and sentiment are from a Casual Friday stamp set. They are no longer in business, but I love this set and will keep it in my stash. I colored the images with Copic Markers. Wink of Stella and two enamel hearts were added for shine.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs!

I Am So Thankful To Have You In My Life The Paper Players Challenge 762

November 2, 2025

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

The lovely and talented LeAnne is our hostess this week. Her Theme Challenge is perfect as we enter November. "Thankful For You"! We all have someone we are thankful for. It could be a friend, a family member or someone that did something kind for you. So, get creative and have fun!

I love November and taking time to thank people that are special to us all year long. I have several stamps to choose from for this season, but I decided I wanted to use this Stampingbella stamp set called Fay Loves Fall. I had extra time to work on this card so, I got out my Copic Markers and had fun coloring her. I used the matching die to cut her out. Then I started digging through my stash of Fall papers and found this fabulous leaf pattern. I loved it with the colors I had used for coloring. The brown dots was the backside of this sheet. It was perfect! I added a neutral strip to ground her and placed a few enamel dots for fun. The sentiment came with this stamp set.
