I am thrilled to be back as a Guest Designer for The Paper Players 300th Challenge! The theme this week is “Clean and Simple Celebration”. To celebrate this occasion, we have blog candy to give away, and lots of it! The team has assembled not one, not two, but ten grab bags full of stampin’ goodness! To be eligible to win one, all you need to do is play along with our challenge this week. You can play as many times as you like, but each needs to be a new project (no back linking, please) and needs to follow our other challenge rules. Winners will be selected from all PP300 challenge participants using Random.org and will be posted on Saturday, June 25.  Let’s get this celebration started with a card created with Stampin’ Up!’s Birthday Fiesta stamp set. What says celebrate more than a llama in a sombrero? I hope you enjoy today’s cute card!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ when folded.
When I think of celebrating, I think of bright and cheery colors! Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise, along with a touch of Emerald Envy, are definitely festive. I think this pattern, from the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper collection is too cute!
Of course, every celebration is little more jubilant with a bit of bling, don’t you think? That’s why I added a smattering of rhinestones.
Even the llama from the Birthday Fiesta stamp set is celebrating The Paper Player’s 300th Challenge by donning a sombrero…snipped from the designer paper.
The Paper Players has always held a place in my heart. As a bit of trivia, I won the very first Paper Player’s challenge with this card:
Wow! What a blast from the past!
I hope you will join us in this week’s very special challenge. And remember…if you ever have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
What a fun & festive card!
Ann it is so great to have you back to celebrate our 300th challenge and this card is fabulous! Bright, cheery and fun – that sombrero-wearing llama is just too cute!! Love your very first PP card too – how times have changed!
Ann another cute card with this adorable set…so cute! I really should buy this for all my Mexican food lovin’ friends! hugs.
Great job! As usual : ) I don’t even remember the stamp on the Father’s Day card, but it sure is good.
We’re so happy that you are back creating with us, especially with the fun celebration card! I love that you added your signature bling, too! That llama has the cutest smile, too!
Hi Ann! Your card is so fun and festive with the bright colors and cute llama! That set is on my list and now I can see I will need to add that paper as well.CUTE!!!
Love this card. It’s perfect for a birthday, thank you or for that really fun backyard party invite. 🙂 As always you make me want the stamp set when I see what you’ve created.
Cute and colorful! Fun use of the sombrero. Thanks for sharing your interesting bit of trivia.
Love the sombrero for the llama! I wonder if there is a Spanish word for bling? Well, let’s just go with blingo! Everything says celebration in my book with this card. So glad he isn’t eating one of those peppers. Fun card and fun blast from the past too. Suddenly I have a craving for enchiladas!
Ann, so excited that you could join us for the 300th challenge! I LOVE this fabulous FIESTA card. I was not going to buy this set, hut now you have enabled me. The bright colors make me smile! I loved seeing the first card from the PP, too! WOW!
