It’s hard to believe that The Paper Players are celebrating challenge number twenty! Lesley, our hostess this week, has created a lovely sketch for you to follow:
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips:
- Layer the labels for contrast! The Crumb Cake Decorative Label would blend too much with the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper if left by itself. However, a second label, punched from Cherry Cobbler adds the perfect “punch” of color!
- Elegant bling! Basic Pearls are perfect for accentuating the bands of the bells!
- Quick and easy bow! A quick and easy Cherry Cobbler bow fashioned from 1/2″ Seam Binding completes the look. To view my video tutorial on how to create this bow, simply CLICK HERE!
I will be anxious to see what you create this week using Lesley’s lovely sketch! For more inspirational cards from our Design Team, be sure to visit The Paper Players. And remember, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, please don’t hesitate to email me.

Wow, Ann, What a card! Stunning, as always.
Gorgeous!
WOW!!! What a beautiful card, so much detail and I love your coloring…thanks for such awesome inspiration!
So beautiful! So, those bells are on the dp? I thought it was an image you had colored. If it is dp, aren’t you smart! I have not prefected the art of “let the dp take care of the work for you” yet. I’m a dp hoarder, for some reason, and don’t use it enough.
Anyway, what a gorgeous card, Ann. I love your work!
Absolutely beautiful, Ann! Love how you’ve showcased the DSP and your bow is simply luscious!
Oh my gosh. This is such a stunning card.
Beautiful job, Ann. There is so much dimension to this card. And the DSP adds so much.
Well done,
Mike
The touch of pearls on the bells is genius. What a gorgeous transformation of the sketch. Bravo! Hugs, M
JUST beautiful bells, Ann!
Wow! Your card is just beautiful! It is breathtaking!
Ann, I absolutely love the way that you used the DP as your main image. What a wonderfu idea. I love that you added the tiny pearls to the bells. Your card is absolutely stunning!Oh if I had your artisitic ability I would be one very hapy camper. š

The DSP makes a beautiful card. The pearls were such a good idea on the bells.
What an amazing card. The bells intrique me, did you use something to make them shine and pop of the card, hope you will share with us the technique. How’s Muffy doing, she is so cute! Thanks again for a great card.

Beautiful card! I thought it was 3D because it is colored so perfectly.
WOW – gorgeous – but im confused are the bells stamped and colored or were they cut from deck the halls dsp (i havent seen the paper yet – didnt buy it – but if those bells are on the paper – SOLD! – your cards are always amazing but this is the best one yet
So beautiful – rich and elegant!

Quick and easy!?!?!?!?! You have to be kidding – this is such a gorgeous card!
