Paper Players #81

Good Tuesday morning to everyone! Four more days left until the weekend! For this weeks Paper Players Challenge #81 they ask that you include a floral image…

I decided to use the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini. It’s one of my favorite sets and it coordinates with a punch and we all know how much I love a punch! I stamped two flowers, one in Calypso Coral on Very Vanilla Card Stock and one in Pool Party on Pool Party Card Stock. The 1″ Circle Punch works perfectly with the flower middle. I mounted them together with a brad from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad pack (Sale-A-Bration – FREE with a $50 purchase). Then I ran some Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration) through the Big Shot using the Labels Collection Framelits Dies. I stamped another of the images in Soft Suede on Soft Suede Card Stock for the card base and rounded 3 of the four corners. The Memories greeting is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set and it was stamped in Calypso Coral on Very Vanilla. I used the 1 1/4″ Square punch to make the flag end. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals to mount the flower and its all done. Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy your Tuesday. 🙂

Paper Players #80

Hello everyone… it’s Friday!! I had a great time dropping off all of the Stampin’ Up! goodies to my Workshop attendees yesterday. The Phantom of the Opera was amazing! If you get a chance to see it… GO! Thanks to Kim for my ticket! Today’s card is a little late again for The Paper Player’s. This weeks challenge sketch #80 is nice and simple:

I decided to go with the Tea Shoppe Set from the Occasions Mini. I love this set, possibly because of my English background! I stamped the large cup in Basic Grey and then cut it out. Using the Big Shot, I ran some Cherry Cobbler Card Stock through in the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and placed it on the Basic Grey Card Base. A piece of 1/4″ Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon was placed across the middle. I markered one of the pansies in Cherry Cobbler and then used the smallest of the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies to cut it out and adhered it to the handle. The cup was then mounted on some Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed in the middle. The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler on a punched out piece of Very Vanilla using the Decorative Label Punch. Three Metallic Brads mounted on Very Vanilla finish off the card. I hope that you like today’s card and have a great day!!

Paper Players Challenge #79

Good morning every one. It’s a perfect stay inside and craft day here on Long Island. It’s raining and I think it’s supposed to rain all day. I’m a little late with my Paper Players Challenge this week, but I will get it in just in time. This week they ask you to do a clean and simple card with a tag.

I decided to use three tags. They look like they aren’t spaced equally and I did that on purpose. I wanted a little pause after you read Inspire and Create… then Dream. The words are from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini. They are stamped on Very Vanilla Card Stock and punched out with the Extra Large Tag Punch. I rubbed the edges against the Island Indigo stamp pad for a little definition. The flower is from the For All You Do Stamp Set that I got when I first signed up to be a Demonstrator. I haven’t used it in a while and forgot that I had it. It’s perfect for when you need something tall and slim for the side of a card. The images are stamped in Island Indigo and Crumb Cake. A piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock ran through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder gives it a nice background and looks great mounted on the Island Indigo card base. Some 3/16 Metallic Brads in gold finish off the card. I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and as always, thanks so much for stopping by!

The Paper Players Challenge #78

Hello everyone! I hope that you all are having a good week so far. It was a little rainy here yesterday but as long as it’s not snow I’m happy! This week I decided to give another challenge a try. The Paper Players has some really great talent. I was excited to sit down and make my card using the colors for this week: Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzaz. I immediately thought of the new Designer Series Paper Everyday Enchantment from the 2012 Sale-A-Bration Catalog (starts January 24th). I love the colors in the paper and it actually prompted me to get all of the In-Colors for 2010-2012 and 2011-2013. The greeting is from Outlined Occasions also in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. I stamped it in Pear Pizzaz and then used a Blender Pen to color in the confetti around the word Celebrate. The flowers are from the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set available in the 2012 Occasions Mini. They coordinate with the Blossom Punch and the 1″ Circle Punch. I also punched out some Pear Pizzaz Card Stock to back the flowers. The brad in the middle is from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack from Sale-A-Bration too. There are so many great items in the catalog I can’t wait for you to get your hands on them too! I popped the flowers up on some Stampin’ Dimensionals and framed the greeting with some more Pear Pizzaz Card Stock. I really like the color combination and hope you like the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
