Hearts and Flowers Card for PP527

Hearts and flowers are two iconic images associated with love and romance. How about a hearts and flowers card, coupled with a wonderful sentiment, to let someone know they are always in your heart? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

hearts and flowers

This week, lovely Anne Marie has a timely theme challenge for us:  Hearts and/or Stars.  I selected hearts.  How about you?  What will you select? I can’t wait to see what you create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card showcases the True Love Designer Series Paper collection.  Even the flowers are from this fabulous collection of papers.  They were colored using Stampin’ Blends and then snipped out.  How easy is that?

hearts and flowers card

I just love this sentiment, and it is what sold me on the stamp set.  I custom colored the rhinestones using a Dark Olive Stampin’ Blend to coordinate with the ribbon and the leaves.  However, it would be equally as lovely with clear rhinestones, or matte black dots.

For every card which has been posted on my blog this year, there is a free tutorial.

Seashell Friendship Card for Festive Friday

Sometimes it’s all about the sentiment, and that is the way it is with today’s seashell friendship card.  It’s time to get festive at Festive Friday – the home of the Inspo List!

seashell friendship card

For this week’s challenge,  we are inspired by International Polar Bear Day.  Remember – at Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion.  Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project.  I used blue, silver, sentiment, and heat embossing on my card this week.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s seashell friendship card is rich with texture, featuring both the Seashells and the Seabed 3D embossing folders.  The sentiment is placed front and center, accented by a silver heat embossed starfish and clear rhinestones. It’s an easy card, and relatively quick to create.  I sincerely hope you will give it a try!

Valentine in Retro Colors

Do the color combinations of the Fifties and Sixties make your heart go pitter-patter? If so, check out today’s Valentine in retro colors. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

Valentine in Retro Colors

It’s Tic-Tac-Toe week at The Paper Players, and our host, Laurie, has some very fun items from which to select:

I selected the horizontal row consisting of red, embossing and sparkle.  I can’t wait to see what row YOU select!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

One of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up! is how well things coordinate, like these four different patterns of paper. They are all from the adorable Snail Mail Designer Series Paper collection.  Aren’t those little snails just the cutest critters ever?  Because I loved the papers so much, I went with a sketch that would really showcase them.

Valentine in Retro Colors

The sentiment, from the Heartfelt stamp set, was heat embossed and accented with rhinestones for a touch of sparkle.  Of course, the scalloped heart die cut offsets the sentiment perfectly.  It was created using the Stitched Be Mine dies.  Both the Heartfelt stamp set and the Stitched Be Mine dies are from the Annual Catalog. I love how paper from the mini-catalog breathes new life into sets and dies which we already have in our stash.  How about  you?

Little Nueve wanted to be today’s Puppy Spokeperson.  Because he is just learning about Stampin’ Up! and Sale-A-Bration,  I spent a little time explaining  what it was to him.  Oh my gosh, his tail was wagging a hundred miles an hours by the time I was done.  I told him Sale-A-Bration customers  who placed a $50 order (before tax and shipping) received a FREE Sale-A-Bration item.  Of course, he’s just a puppy, and didn’t quite grasp the concept until I gave him some examples.  I am sure the tail wag had nothing to do with the fact I said Sale-A-Bration was like when he was a GOOD BOY and got a TREAT or when he was a GOOD BOY and got to go for a WALK or when he was a GOOD BOY and got a new TOY.  Just scroll on down to see what “treats” await you for a $50 order!
