It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the talented Nance has a unique color challenge for us: Calypso Coral, Real Red, Basic Black. I pulled out one of my old favorites, Stippled Blossoms, and created a “Thinking of You” card for a friend who recently experienced a loss. I hope she likes it. Won’t you play along with us this week? If you don’t have these Stampin’ Up! colors, feel free to substitute with a similar hue. At The Paper Players, we are all about the fun!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Two steppin’! Stippled Blossoms is a Two-Step stamp. I used Calypso Coral as my base, and overlayed it with Real Red stippling. Of course, I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the stippled image.
- Black butterfly! Given my choice of colors, I probably wouldn’t ink up the small butterfly from Butterfly Basics in black. However, it does look striking on the Calypso Coral pattern from the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper collection.
- A Beauty of a Bow! Stampin’ Up!’s Seam Binding is one of my favorite ribbons for making bows. This time I selected Calypso Coral, and made a double loops. The ends were shaped and held in position with Glue Dots.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I needed a classic, feminine card for my friend, and I thought this set and layout filled the bill. What do you think? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. Of course, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

I just love how you used the colors! It’s such a striking, beautiful card.I love that bow!
I love all the different cards you have made with this set. You have really maximized it.
Lovely card….a beautiful combination of images and embellishments! I just love that bow, too! Gorgeous!
Your friend is certain to be cheered by this beautiful card.
I would never have thought to use those two colors together, Ann, but the end result is certainly stunning! The wow factor is off the charts!
I love what you have done with your card. I believe Stippled Blossoms is my most used stamp set. It makes beautiful cards in various colors.
This card is very striking with those beautiful blooms in red and the background in black. Love every single detail of it, specially that beautifully done bow. The Stippled Blossoms set is fabulous but, to get perfect results, you must use the Stamp-a-magig, this is one of the most “have to have” tools.
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous card.
Wow you made a believer out of me for these colors. I would have struggled to even think of them together, but all the samples are fabulous! hugs.
I wouldn’t have thought to combine Calypso Coral and the red together but it works great on your card. I love that stamp set!
Another beauty, Ann!
Gorgeous, Ann! I never tire of seeing those beautiful stippled blossoms. Your beautiful bow is the icing on the cake!
Another beautiful card, Ann. I love that you used my colors to make a classic and elegant flower card–just what I had in mind. The black sets off the other colors so well and I adore the little black butterfly! Thanks for rockin’ my challenge, friend!
Gorgeous! I always think of you when I pull out the Stippled Blossoms stamp set. No one showcases it better than you! Love your choice of DSPs as well. And why not have a black butterfly?! I love it!!
Beautiful Ann. I always love your cards using stipples blossoms.
Fantastic design, Ann! Your blossoms are perfectly done. What would we do without a Stampamajig?
This is just beautiful Ann, very striking! I know your friend will love it!
Just beautiful!
Classic, timeless, and elegant! Your friend will love her card Ann!! The layers, pretty flowers, and gorgeous bow make me smile. Wishing you a happy Sunday!
