A Grateful Heart

Sometimes people come into our lives for a very special reason.  They inspire us.  They  teach us.  They help us grow.  With a grateful heart, I am so happy to say I have been blessed with such a person.  This card is for her.  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

A Grateful Heart
This week, the sweet Claire is hosting our monthly theme challenge.  With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, she has a very timely theme for us:  Give Thanks.  While my card focuses on leaves, I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The stunning Ever Eden Designer Series Paper collection is featured on today’s card.  Pulling my colors from these papers, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent take on an elegance with the introduction of brushed gold.  It is an easy card to create, but it is a time intensive due to all of the gorgeous Intricate Leaves die cuts.

Muffy took time out from our walk to ponder leaves. “I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift.” —-Dodinsky

Holiday Double Z-Fold Card

‘Tis the season to be thinking about holiday cards! If you are looking for something fun for your friends, why not create this holiday double Z-fold card. It’s fun to create, and fun to display.  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

holiday doub;e Z-fold cardThis week I have the honor of being our hostess at The Paper Players. Because it is the fifth Sunday of the month, it is our Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. I selected elements for the grid which I’m sure most of you have in your stamping arsenal.   I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Even though it is Halloween, there is no need to be frightened of today’s double Z-fold card.  I  know that fancy folds can be scary, but a double Z-fold card is easy to create, especially when I provide you with the tutorial.  The only thing which was difficult about today’s card was photographing it.  With so much foil and shimmer, there was too much light being reflected.  However, with all the photos included, I think you can get an idea of colors and scale.

A silver foil wreath, created with two of the Seasonal Swirls dies, provides the perfect back drop for presents which have been fussy cut from Whimsy & Wonder designer series paper.  The stunning snowflake paper, also from the Whimsy & Wonder collection, form the back panels.  Blushing Bride plaid paper forms the smaller panels.  Both designer series paper were matted onto the gorgeous darker foil from the Silver Foil Specialty pack.

The sentiment, inked in Misty Moonlight, is from the Christmas to Remember stamp set.  Found on the center panel, it’s accented with a single rhinestone and an iridescent foil snowflake.  The final panel sports three rhinestones and another snowflake.
