Fun at the Beach

Comments: 15

Oh, how wonderful it would be to live near the ocean! This Midwesterner would LOVE to have fun at the beach.  To feel the sand between her toes! To bask in the shade of a colorful beach umbrella! To watch the tide come rolling in! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

fun at the beach

This week, sweet Stef is hosting our theme challenge. She has selected a fun theme perfect for summer:  Beach Time! My beach scene comes complete with sea gulls, a colorful beach ball, sand castles and sea shells. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

What a fun theme! I love it when I get to create little scenes. This time it looks like I tried to incorporate every iconic beach image. The “designer” in me relished paper piecing the beach chair and umbrella in colors and patterns of my choosing. I also had fun creating the “sandscape”.  This is not a card that can be created in minutes.  However, it is a card that allows for so much creative freedom…and a LOT of die cutting!

Scottie Dogs Happy Holidays Card

Comments: 13

I don’t know about you, but for me it is never too early to get started on my holiday cards. Combining my love of Scotties, plaid, dots, pearls and Christmas, today’s Scottie Dogs Happy Holidays card covers all the bases. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players as we celebrate our 700th challenge!!

scottie dogs happy holidays cardThe uber-talented LeAnne is the host of our 700th challenge, which just happens to be a sketch challenge. I LOVE the sketch LeAnne has designed for us. What a perfect way to showcase these wee pups! While I created a card of the canine persuasion, I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The Seasons of Green designer series paper collection, an Online Exclusive, is a wonderful collection of elegant and classic patterns, four of which are featured on this sweet Scottie dog card. Although the Christmas Scottie stamp set and punch are retired, I will not part with mine. I am a Scottie dog collector, and it fits right in with my stash of Scottie goodies. The three different poses of these pups were perfect for this sketch.  A little hint for stamping those black coats was to ink the stamp in Versamark first, then ink it in black. If any further enhancement is needed, a blend or marker can make quick order of any light spots.
