Watercolor Wings for The Paper Players

Comments: 50

IMG_2591It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!  It’s a sketch challenge from the talented Nance Leedy this week.  I felt it was a perfect sketch for inking up my new Watercolor Wings set for the first time.  I hope you enjoy this “glittered and rhinestoned” beauty.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.

  • Blinged butterfly! The larger butterfly images from Watercolor Wings were inked using Soft Suede, Soft Sky and Sahara Sand inks. The smaller Bold Butterfly Framelits die was cut from vellum and covered in Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter.  A few Rhinestones were added for extra bling.

  • You’ve got a friend! The Friend sentiment from Awesomely Artistic was inked with Soft Suede and stamped directly onto the Soft Sky Script pattern from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.

  • A Brick Wall!  The new Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder forms the perfect background.  To make each brick “pop”, Sahara Sand ink was added using a sponge.  This adds definition to the edges of the bricks.

IMG_2591-003We have been plagued with severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches here in SE Iowa over the past week.  Unfortunately we lost a huge limb from the shade tree in the front yard during the last storm.  Luckily, no one was hurt.  It fell right where I take the babies out to potty! Yikes!

Downed TreeSpeaking of potty, potty training is now in full force.  Most of my day is spent outside with a puppy or two in tow! Luckily, they are catching on very quickly. Their days are spent eating, sleeping, playing  and pottying. Lexi is a great “big sister”, and loves snuggling with Jack.

IMG_3339I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I love the new Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I think it will be one of my new favorites! How about you? Have you discovered your newest “go-to” item from the new catalog? If you have, won’t you let me know in today’s comment? And don’t forget…it you have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.  Until next tme…

Market Fresh for The Paper Players

Comments: 25

IMG_2571-001It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the talented Claire is hosting a Theme Challenge: Clean and Simple Summer Treats. I decided to use my new Market Fresh stamp set and create a card featuring one of my favorite summer treats…Strawberries! Enjoy today’s card!

pp250Please note:  I am currently under a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado watch as I write this.  If I do not have a chance to complete this post, you will know why.

Update: Well, I ended up losing power until sometime early Sunday morning.  After I shut my computer off, the sirens sounded, and we all headed to the basement.  Nothing says fun like three rambunctious puppies during a storm.  Muffy, Brody and Lexi have been through storm drills many, many times, and they performed liked real troopers.  Kim, Brady and I each took a puppy (Bunny is still here…she is not leaving until next weekend), and rode out the storm for over an hour.  By that time, the severe thunderstorm warning had expired, and the tornado watch was lifted for my county.  In the end, the only damage was our back fence was blown down.  Kim and Brady fixed it around 11:00 PM.  Although the picture is very dark, here are Jack and Lexi under the table in the basement:

IMG_3252Now…on to the card!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This folded card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.

  • Watercolor! The Strawberry image was heat embossed onto Very Vanilla card stock, and then carefully colored with Blender Pens and Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Hello Honey inks. Of course, I had to add a few mini-pearls.

  • Farmer’s Market! This Designer Series Paper is one of my new favorites!  From ginghams and dots like these two…to the cutest vegetables ever…I LOVE all of the patterns.

IMG_2571-002

  • Thick and rich! Although it sounds like I am describing candy, the same adjectives can be used to describe the new Thick Baker’s Twine.  I am so in love with the richness of the Cherry Cobbler twine, I just had to make TWO bows!

IMG_2571-003I think this stamp set could become one of my favorites.  “Thanks a Bunch” would make perfect “Thank-You” cards, and “Lettuce Celebrate” could be perfect for birthdays or party invites. What do you think?  Won’t you let me know in your comment today.  Of course, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
