Peace, Joy, Love In Purple

Another week has passed and another Sunday is here. It’s time to play with The Paper Players PP759!

Peace Joy Love in purple

This week, the amazing Elizabeth is hosting our color challenge. I love the colors she has selected for us: Purple and Green. I elected to create a holiday floral card in shades of Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, and Blackberry Bliss, with touches of Old Olive and Shaded Spruce. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. But like I always say, before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible “Teamies”, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

One of my favorite stamp sets from the September – December Mini Catalog is the Christmas Greenery set. This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set which means that adding colors to the image is just a stamp away. I used the little nosegay image, with Old Olive and Shaded Spruce colored greenery and Highland Heather colored petals. I used Blackberry Bliss, stamped off once, for the bow. Blackberry Bliss was also used to stamp the sentiment, which is from the retired Dove of Hope stamp set. The nosegay was die cut out and placed upon a backdrop created with the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder and the Peace on Earth dies. I kept the embellishments very simple, using basic rhinestones for the centers of the blossoms. Sometimes you can’t go wrong with classic bling!

“Spooky Cute” for PP758

An adorable Franken-pup, a beary-fairy godmother, bats and ravens! Spooky meets cute on today’s “spooky cute” adorable Halloween card. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.

spooky cute

This week it is sweet Claire’s turn to host our theme challenge. What a fun one it is: Halloween Costumes! I chose to watercolor this cutie-patootie Pup-N-Stein and place him into this spooky cute scene. I can’t wait to see what you create. But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible “Teamies”, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

It’s Lazy Stamper Ann here. Once again, I am letting the paper do all of the work. In the case of this card, the workhorse is the Spooky Sweet Specialty designer series paper. Although I did stamp and color the adorable pup with Stampin’ Blends, the rest of the images are precut and included with the designer paper. One of the patterns of paper includes a series of little scenes, of which I selected the front of a “spooky cute” house. The “Spooky” sentiment is from the Spooky Halloween stamp set, which is part of this Spooky Sweet suite. Since every card deserves a little bling, I went wild with basic rhinestones and a glittery jelly roll pen. Now call me crazy, but this one is headed off to “Kia the Boxer”, one of the last two Muffy daughters, along with some yummy treats. Nueve and Sixxy wanted to make certain their Aunty Kia had a spooky cute Halloween.

A Foxy Fall Card

I love foxes. I love Fall. Therefore, it stands to reason that I LOVE a foxy fall card. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players in PP757.

This week it is the amazing Stef’s turn to host our sketch challenge. I love a great sketch, and that is exactly what Stef delivered. It’s a versatile one, and Stef said we could “layer it up” if we wanted. Well you know me – the more layers the merrier! While I opted to create a foxy fall card, I can’t wait to see what you create. But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible “Teamies”, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

The Amber Autumn dies, along with my paper snips, are the heroes of today’s card. The gorgeous leafy background was die cut from Earthen Toned Metallic paper and layered over the fox patterned Autumn Toile paper. Although Stef said the center element of her sketch could be any shape, I stayed with a circle which I die cut using the large circular Stylish Shapes die. It served as the anchor for the leafy Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow die cuts. The foxes were fussy cut from the fox paper. I love how they are facing each other, looking so sly and crafty, as if plotting their next foxy escapade. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “The sleeping fox catches no poultry.” Without a doubt, the Autumn Toile Suite collection is one of my favorite splurges!
