In this age of social distancing, what better way to reach out and “touch” someone than with a sparkly friendship card? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, Anne Marie is hosting our monthly Clean and Simple challenge, which has a sparkly theme. What do we mean by CAS?
- Minimal layers and embellishments
- Plenty of open space, aka “white” space
- Simple and uncluttered
For my touch of sparkle, I pulled out Rose glimmer paper to create this Free As A Bird card. I can’t wait to see what sparkly confections YOU create! Enjoy today’s card and free printable tutorial.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
You can’t escape the sparkle on today’s card. Rose is one of my favorite glimmer papers. It looks great with my focal point, which is from the Free As A Bird stamp set. This image was quickly colored using Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Old Olive and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. It was cut out using a Stitched Nested Label die.
Old Olive ribbon and a Flower Faceted Gem provide simple accents.

I love that you went all-out with pink glimmer on your card Ann – the sweet little bird is beautifully coloured and the perfect accompaniment, as is the little flower gem. Gorgeous!
LOVE all the sparkle…beautiful card Ann!
Love all the sparkle on your card, Ann! I think I am hoarding my Rose glimmer paper, but you’ve inspired me to bring it out…so pretty! And of course, I love anything with BIRDS!! Beautiful!
Your sparkly friendship card is such a beauty Ann! That Rose glimmer paper is such a lovely shade and your coloring of that pretty bird does indeed compliment it. I have been sending more cards to friends, and anyone receiving this one will definitely cherish it!
Gorgeous! I love Rose Glimmer paper and it’s perfect with this adorable bird image! Your popped-out leaves are really a fun touch on this elegant card, Ann!
Hi Ann, I love every thing about your card especially the red glitter paper. I always look forward to you seeing your cards.
Your coloring is fantastic. I love the design and the way you used the flower embellishment.
