Donuts, Pirouette-style cookies and strawberries! Yum yum! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

yum yumThis week, sweet Claire is hosting our color challenge. What a wonderful quartet of hues she has selected: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Crushed Curry. I was obviously feeling hungry, creating a bowl of fruit and pastries. Yum yum! I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Since one of my favorite things to do is color using blender pens and inks, I had a ton of fun with this card. When using blender pens, it’s always easier to add color if needed, but it is much more difficult to remove color. I start sparingly with color and build up. While I have never seen Granny Apple Green or Bermuda Bay icing on a donut in person, or even Melon Mambo strawberries for that matter, I wasn’t afraid to let my imagination soar.

A Warm Hello

We are starting the month of April off with some frosty weather and even some snow here in Iowa. Hopefully it won’t be much longer until the sun greets us with a warm hello. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.

A warm helloIt’s theme week, and the lovely Anne Marie has a fun theme for us: Sunshine & Rainbows.  You may use a sun, rainbow or feature a rainy-day theme like umbrellas, rain boots, etc. on your card.  While I used a sun on my card, I am so excited to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

For this week’s theme challenge, here comes the sun! The adorable Sunny Days designer series paper, which was a free Sale-A-Bration item a few months ago, has a pattern which was the perfect choice for a cheery backdrop. For the embossed Very Vanilla panel, I turned to the workhorse in my embossing folder stable, the crosshatch folder. This folder is one of three in the Basics 3D embossing folder collection. The honor of being the focal image went to this one from the retiring Circle Sayings stamp set. This is an adorable, very versatile set which I overlooked for far too long. It is still available to order.  Three Misty Moonlight gems and a Starry Sky bow add a touch of sparkle.

Relax With A Cup Of Latte

Today’s words of wisdom: “Relax with a cup of latte”! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

relax with a cup of latteThis week I am hosting our Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, one of my favorite types of challenges. I went across the top, choosing designer paper, die cut and ribbon. I can’t wait to see what three you select!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I absolutely LOVE Stampin’ Up!’s designer series papers. Isn’t this plaid, from the A Little Latte collection, lovely?  The Calypso Coral coffee bean pattern is a natural to form the focal panel on this slimline card.  Add to the mix three cups of latte, die cut from one of the patterns in the same collection, and voila!  You have a card that is just perfect for your latte-loving friends! This card does feature two products which are retiring. The sentiment is from one of my favorite sets, “In the Moment”. While I am partial to the images in this set, I also use the “Relax” sentiment quite often.  The oval from the retiring “All That” dies fits the sentiment perfectly. Both of these products are still available for purchase.
