It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week Laurie is hosting a Tic Tac Toe challenge. These are always so much fun! And because I incorrectly scheduled last Sunday’s post, I will be sharing that card, too! So let’s get started!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-14″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Watercolor! The Floral image from the new set, You’ve Got This, was watercolor using Aqua Painters and Tangelo Twist, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight inks. The Crosshatch background stamp, also from You’ve Got This, was inked in Lost Lagoon.
- Birthday Banner! The sentiment, from Remembering Your Birthday, was inked with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Originally I had not planned on adding the sentiment as a banner, but a little mishap caused me to change my mind. (Wink! Wink!)
- A bit of bling! A trio of retiring In Color Sequins, with tiny Pearl centers, add just the right touch of bling!
Last Sunday, the lovely Anne Marie had an awesome sketch for us. However, a puppy emergency resulted in my card being posted very late. And then to top it off, I thought I had scheduled my post, but in reality I had not. Because the card showcases new product which I received while in Hawaii on Stampin’ Up!’s Grand Vacation, I just have to say a little bit about it.
The beautiful designer series paper you see is from the NEW Timeless Elegance Collection…a little perk from the Hawaii trip, along with the Metal Rimmed Pearls. The Stippled Blossoms stamp set was used to stamp the flowers. This has been my “go-to” floral set for the past few years. It was placed on the Retired List this year, and is now sold out. This will be one of the sets I will definitely keep!
By the way, all of the puppies are fine. Little Bunny hurt her leg, and since she was not putting any weight on it and it was swelling slightly, we made an emergency trip to the vet. But lo and behold…once she made it to the vet’s office (after hours, I might add so we had an additional emergency charge), it was a miracle! She could walk! She could run! She could play! We took x-rays, just to be certain there was no break, and she received some puppy pain pills. The entire crew will head to Chicago on Monday to be evaluated by Amy, our handler. We will know then which baby will be staying with us!
I hope you enjoyed the new products featured on both of today’s cards. Is there something in the new catalog you just can’t wait to get your hands on? For me, it’s the heavier weight white cardstock. Won’t you let me know yours in your comments today? Your comments are important to me. Of course, if you ever have a question about the cards I create, or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
