It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players. The talented Lesley is hosting a color challenge this week: Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party! Remember that you can substitute with similar colors if you don’t have these! At The Paper Players, we are all about having fun! I hope you enjoy today’s quick and easy vintage style card.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: The Power of Three
Today’s finished card measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
- A Trio of Images! The “Stamp” image from Fresh Vintage was inked with Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, and Pool Party and stamped onto Whisper White card stock. They were then punched out using the 1″ Punch and mounted onto coordinating card stock squares punched using the Postage Stamp Punch. These were adhered to Crumb Cake card stock and zipped through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A second set of images were stamped and punched out. These were in turn “popped up” onto the top of the embossed stamps using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Basic Pearls on each stamp provide the perfect accent.
- A Trio of Sentiments! Sentiments from Loving Thoughts were inked in Early Espresso and stamped onto Naturals Ivory card stock. They were then flagged on one end, while the opposite end was curled and separated into two layers. The bottom layer was flagged and slightly curled for a different look.
- A Trio of Ribbons! Ribbons do not have to match! Snippets of Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding, Victoria Crochet Lace Trim, and Pool Party 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon add a “pop” of color and texture!
Today’s card also holds a triple meaning: I DREAM up my design and CREATE my card, all in the hope of INSPIRING you! And I do hope that you found today’s post inspiring in some way. Won’t you please let me know in your comment? And as always, if you ever have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
I love this card Ann-everything about it says perfection to me-the pennant setniments with the curled edges look fabulous
Wow where do I begin? Ann this card is sooo amazing on so many levels. So beautifully detailed, you can tell you put alot of thought into each added touch. I especially love how you used the little scraps of ribbon and you are defintately the master of vintage.
Wow,Ann…what a lovely card….I really like that image stamped in white….very, very nice!
Like all your wonderful followers, you truly inspire me too! This card is no exception … love it!
Oh Ann, you ALWAYS inspire me with your beautiful projects! This is gorgeous and I love all of the pretty textures you added. The pearls are perfectly places, as always. Love it! Hope your weekend was fun! Hugs! 🙂
Very creative…lve the card!
Ann, I might just be able to call you the queen of vintage! 🙂 This card is so intricate, but I should not expect anything less because your cards are always full of such detail! If only I had an ounce of your ability to turn a handful of paper products into a work of art…vintage style! I’ve always admired it, but it doesn’t quite come naturally for me as it seems it does with you! I love that our styles are all so beautifully different and that we can inspire each other in so many different ways. Thank you, thank you, thank you for always doing that for others! Hope you had a wonderful time at Regionals.
Wow!! I LOVE how you put together the sentiments to make this a creative inspiration. Very thoughtful!! I love the warm vintage feel of the card!! Stunning!! Have a wonderful week!! Amy
Gorgeous, just gorgeous, love the colours used and the textured background!!
Still in TX, so not much time today. I really enjoyed this card. I learned something new from your card–the mixture of the 3 ribbons as you did–fabulous! Dar
Very pretty card. Love this color combo and your use of it, as well as the sentiment flags and different ribbon snippets. TFS
Ann so pretty. I like this DSP so much more with the dry embossing and the distressed edges. The small stamps are so pretty and the flagged/rolled sentiment banners and ribbons look fab. Love that, but I especially like the meaning behind your card. Just for the record you DO inspire me! hugs.
Elegant and so pretty Ann! Love the three stamped images and of course your vintage take on the colours.
Love this creation, Ann! The pearls add just the finishing touch and really set the flowers off. Love all the Ann details, curled flags, textures and layers. Hope you had an awesome time at regionals. Hugs
What an awesome card. Love the layering, ribbons, and sentiments along with the fun embossed background.
Another great card! Love how you used the different ribbons. Can’t wait for the a regional report! Hope you are having a great time.
Just beautiful Ann. I love the limes, purples…I don’t know what collection these are from but they are stunning. I love what you did with the beige…the curlycue and the antiquing is a gorgeous touch!
Another master piece.
Thank you this is truly inspirational, I am going to CASE it and make some artist trading cards…
Love the idea…
Yep, like I said yesterday, I knew I would love it. A wonderful CAS with beautiful colors, lots of “Ann” details and lovely sentiments. Thanks for this beauty!
Hope you are having fun in Milwaukee. Too bad you couldn’t have come to Columbus. Then we could have met each other.
I really like this! I like the color combination of the pear pizzaz and the wisteria wonder together. I am still not sure about the pool party anyway. But, it works with this card. Love the touches of texture from the embossing, curling, pearls, and the ribbons! Of course the words have always been a favorite for me – if only I would spend more time on them! Great job as always!

Ann, a beautiful card with the texture on the card stock and DSP. I really like the ribbon tabs and the sentiments tie so nicely into the stamped images.
I am speechless, Ann! I love this – you rocked the color combo and I especially love that little trio and the sentiments you chose. Such a perfect card for inspiration and a perfect motto too!
Hope all is well and Lexi sends her hellos to the Twins!
Love, love, love it!! Love the colors, the vintage look. You never stop amazing us with your creativity! TFS.
Super pretty….I love your little curly-q sentiments! Hope you had fun at regionals!
I love how you used the colors for this challenge. The tags and touch of ribbon are very pretty.
AHA! THERE are the pearls! You sneaky thing you!! I just love this! So pretty…and those little banners! WOW!
Just beautiful! I love the soft colors and all the embossing, what great texture! The curled tags add such an elegant touch and I love the pop of colors with the ribbons! Another Ann masterpiece!

Hi Ann! Hope you are having lots of fun at Regionals! Your card today is just stunning. I love the power of 3! All the texture, the curled flags, the mix of ribbons, and beautiful sentiments and meaning behind them. Fabulous!
Beautiful card. Love those curled ends on the sentiments; really have to try that. And the different ribbons really add that Ann touch.
Beautiful looking card. Love the colors as well as the layout and also the way you curled the tags…….totally cool. Like the look. The pearls make such a great accent and very nice touch.
