It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the talented LeAnne has an awesome challenge for us: Create a CAS project featuring Silver or Gold. I hope you enjoy today’s clean and classy card, created with the Angel from Rejoicing with You.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Clean and Classy
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Hi-ho, Silver! The Angel from Rejoicing with You was inked with VersaMark and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. After snipping it out, it was popped up onto an embossed circle to serve as the focal point.
- Subtle texture! The Simply Scored Diagonal Plate was used to form a subtle background. The diagonal lines add interest, but are not overpowering.
- Bling-a-licious border! Seven Basic Rhinestones form an elegant border when placed at the intersections of the scored diagonal lines.
I love this angel image. When heat embossed, it is elegant and classy. Yet, when paired with the right inks and paper, it takes on a delightful country feel! I like popping it up onto an embossed circle to complement the curve of the angel’s body.
What do you think? Did I keep it clean and simple…at least for me? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one. Until next time…
(Twin Update: Woo hoo! Muffy is gaining back the weight she lost during her recent illness. It won’t be long until she is back in tip-top shape! A big thank you to everyone who has emailed get well wishes!)

Beautiful card Ann! Love the rhinestones on the intersecting scored lines! Must try that…
Absolutely gorgeous card, Ann! The texture & interest from the embossing, both heat & dry, are fabulous! 🙂
Clean, simple and absolutely stunning! Love the embossed circle and the quilted background. The angel is heavenly perfection is silver. Gorgeous, my friend!
Beautiful, Ann! I love the embossing on the background of the card using the scoring plate. I think I’ll need to do something witht that.
Ann love this CAS angel in silver. Wow… those rhinestones at the corners of the background scoring are amazing. Love that.
Also really like the embossed circle behind the angel… love it. hugs
PS: Off to see my grandkids for the Thanksgiving holiday. Can’t wait. Hope yours is wonderful too. See you when I return. hugs.
Ann, this is gorgeous. I think your most beautiful CAS card ever. The angel is really stunning in silver and the little pearls are perfect at the intersection of the hatching. I agree with you that this angel can be fabulously vintage or much more modern. It’s really very versatile and you showcased it wonderfully.
Hugs

That is sooooo pretty! Love the angel. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Gorgeous, Ann! This “Hark the Herald Angel” (that’s what it reminds me of!) is just gorgeous embossed and popped up…beautiful!
This is so pretty, love your great design
I so love your card! All the texture underneath that exquisite angel really made this a rich visual experience despite being CAS. And the rhinestones provided nice additional elegance.
This is beautiful! What a great design with texture! This makes a beautiful card! Hope you and “the kids” are doing well. Hugs, Curt
BEAUTIFUL!
BEAUTIFUL!
Is it just me or does the angel look black on the blog posting. ? I assume that is a camera effect. That is good news about Muffy.
Beautiful card Ann. I love the sdded bling.
So glad to hear Muffy is getting back to where she was before her illness!
Another beautiful card. Silver and white – perfect for Christmas. What great news – Muffy is getting back to her normal self. Such good news.
Very pretty card with that angel. I think heat embossing adds so much elegance to the holiday cards. Good news that Muffy is doing a lot better!
Hi ho Silver away! Don’t ask, I just felt like saying it! I still think it is CC&S – Classy, Clean, and Simple! At least yours is! I wasn’t sure about that angel image but I really like what you did with it. That background with the subtle diagonal pattern really sets this off! Love it! Rhinestones a fun touch too.
So, glad Muffy is doing so much better! That has to be a relief to you. To you and your family – a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Gorgeous, Ann! So beautiful in its simplicity and great bling!
This angel is just simple and stunning! I love that embossed background you did as well – you gals outdid yourselves this week! All that glitz made for some gorgeous cards!
Oh how elegant! Absolutely stunning for sure! I really love the subtle diagonal scoring and the rhinestones set under the sentiment! That angel is beautiful!
So glad that Muffy is gaining some weight back and is doing much better! My Sabrae is starting to put some of her weight back on as well! So thankful that both our girls are recovering!
This is gorgeous! I love that scored background and placement of the rhinestones and the retired embossing folder you used. I still don’t know why they retired that one. It has to be one of my favorites. TFS!
Thanks for the update on Muffy. I am so glad to hear she is feeling better. Love being updated on your “babies.” 🙂
Gorgeous Ann! This angel looks like she is floating on a cloud. Love your clean card!
SO happy to hear Muffy is gaining her weight back. You must be so relieved. A true thanksgiving, huh. Big hugs for Muffy!
She is lovely! The texture is beautiful, but very clean and simple. You knocked it out of the park!
Beautiful! Interesting how different techniques change the look of our images! You are so right! This is an elegant card!! Glad to hear that Muffy is doing well and will be back to herself in no time!!!
Super, super! Love this card. Glad to hear Muffy is doing so well.
Oh my goodness – this is another of those take-my-breath-away cards! Absolutely stunning.
