You’ve Got This for The Paper Players

Comments: 23

IMG_2556It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! The talented Sandy is hosting a color challenge for us this week:  Real Red, Pool Party, Island Indigo.  I have been wanting to play with some of the new products from the 2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog, and this seemed like the perfect time.  I hope you enjoy today’s card!

This finished card measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.

  • Crazy for Polka Dots! The patterns in the new Designer Series Paper Stacks are awesome! I selected the Soft Sky Polka Dots from the Subtle Collection for my background.

  • Hello on a brick wall! The new Greetings Thinlits were used to create the Island Indigo “hello” die cut.  It looks great against new Brick Wall embossed backdrop.

  • Floral fusion! Two new floral sets were used to create the floral focal point.  The Real Red watercolored Flower is from You’ve Got This, while the watercolored Old Olive Leaves are from Remarkable You.

IMG_2556-002I was a little concerned at first about using these leaves, because the style is a little different than the style of the flower…but I think they coordinate just fine.  What do you think? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me.  And remember…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…

The Open Sea for Pals Paper Arts

,
Comments: 18

IMG_2539It’s Thursday and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! It’s a color challenge week, and we have a beautiful combination of colors for you:  Early Espresso, Marina Mist, Sahara Sand.  Since I needed a birthday card for my husband, I opted to create  masculine card using The Open Sea stamp set. I hope you enjoy today’s card!

PPA255The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.

  • Float your boat! The Ship image was stamped a second time in Early Espresso, snipped out, and popped atop the original using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Using dimensionals is an easy way to add depth and perspective.

  • Anchors away! The Anchor image was snipped out and adhered to the Globe image. It’s a great way to accent the Happy Birthday sentiment.

  • A little twine is fine! Linen Thread was used to add a little texture. Silly me! I totally forgot to trim it a little shorter before I photographed it.  I guess I was in too big of a hurry to play with puppies!

IMG_2539-001This card is earmarked for my husband, Kim.  He hits the big 6-0 in a few days. Since he is younger than I am, I get teased that I robbed the cradle.  And cradle reminds me of baby which reminds me of puppies!  Here is an adorable picture I snapped of Chunkers and Jack:

IMG_3186They are such good helpers! They were just hanging  out at my feet, sleeping, while Kia was sleeping in Kim’s arms.

IMG_3174I hoped you enjoyed today’s masculine birthday card.  Won’t you let me know in your comments today? And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I create, I am only an email away.  Until next time…
