Clean and Simple Floral Hello Card

Quick and easy are two words that describe today’s clean and simple floral hello card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

clean and simple floral hello cardThis week I have the pleasure of hosting our monthly Clean and Simple challenge.  The theme I have selected for you is Spring Has Sprung:  Please feature a flower on your Clean-and-Simple card. I truly went clean and simple, as well as quick and easy, creating a card that can be used for so many different occasions by merely switching out the sentiment.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create.  But before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, remember that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Beautiful cards do not always have to take hours to create, nor do they have to have multiple layers. Sometimes the beauty lies in the simplicity of the design, or in the beauty of the paper itself.   In the case of today’s card, it’s a combination of both.  The design is perfect for showcasing the lovely Hello, Irresistible designer series paper, an Online Exclusive.  The yummy Crosshatch texture is also courtesy of another Online Exclusive, Basics 3D embossing folders, a collection of three different patterns. Although the folders are currently unavailable, they will be back in stock later this spring.

Nueve’s Corner

Hi, everyone! It’s me, Nueve!  I got to get a pretty picture taken with Michelle and her sparkly dress.  We were in Kansas City.   It is in Mizzuri.  I don’t know why they don’t call it Mizzuri City. Anyway, Michelle and I got a big ribbon.

Nueve Kansas City

Sixxy looked really pretty, too.  She got ribbons every day, but not a BIG one like me.

Sixx Kansas City

‘Cause she didn’t get a BIG ribbon, Mom made Sixxy feel better by getting her a crown with her name on it for her crate when we go to dog shows.  She got a crown ’cause she’s a Princess!

Sixx crate tag

I told her it was awesome, and that she did good at the show, too.  It made her very happy and made her nub wag.  Letting others know they did a good job, even if they didn’t get the BIG ribbon, is part of what I do. I am a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!

Colorful Hello There Card

Who wouldn’t love receiving a colorful “Hello There” card to brighten their day!  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

colorful hello there cardIt’s color challenge week at The Paper Players, and our talented hostess, LeAnne, has a palette of bright colors for us.  If you follow my blog, you know that brights usually are not in my wheelhouse, but I really had fun playing with these cheery hues.  I thought they would be perfect for brightening one’s day with a colorful “Hello There” card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I fell in love with the Better Days stamp set the moment I saw it.  Maybe it was because it was released at a time when I truly needed some better days ahead of me.  It is a very simplistic set, not like what I usually buy, but it called to me.  Has that ever happened to you?  I thought it would be perfect for today’s colors.  I paper pieced the water, hills and sun, and backed the fussy cut arched shape against a large Granny Apple Green tag.  The lovely textured panel is courtesty of one of the Online Exclusive Basic 3D embossing folders.  A double ribbon and matte Tahitian Tide dots accent the tag.

The paper helps to do the work on today’s Happy Easter card.  Adorable daisies on this delightful pattern from the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper collection form the backdrop for this cute little bunny. Don’t you love the rhinestone accented floral collar? And how about the little bluebird, perched so sweetly on the sentiment? This entire stamp set is filled cute images.

Nueve’s Notes

Hi, everyone! It’s me, Nueve!  I’ve got some awesome news!  Last Saturday, sister Sixxy and I were winners in Madison, Swissconsin, Home of Cheese! My Dad made us wake up really early on the day we left so we would beat the ice storm there. When we got there, they let us into the hotel even though we weren’t supposed to be there for six hours yet.  They wanted everyone to be safe ’cause of the storm.  One night Sixxy and I had to come in through the circle doors ’cause the other doors were locked. Mom said they were called “Revolving” doors. I didn’t like them very much, but I did it anyway, ’cause I am a good boy.

Here’s a picture of Sixxy with the judge. She got a plaque and two fancy ribbons. She was very happy. People said she looked gorgeous.

I only got one ribbon, but that’s OK.  Sixxy really likes fancy ribbons, so she deserves two.

Sixxy and I went to eight shows in four days.  We were ready to play and rest when we got home. Sixxy is playing with her new toy.  It’s a carrot that has baby bunnies inside. She couldn’t see where she was running.  It was funny.
