Lazy Ann Strikes Again

When paper is as pretty as Moonlit Flora, I just have to let the paper do the work. Yep, Lazy Ann strikes again. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

Lazy Ann Strikes Again

This week the lovely LeAnne is hosting our Sketch Challenge, and what a wonderful sketch it is. It is perfect for showcasing one of Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous designer series papers. I can’t wait to see what YOU create with LeAnne’s amazing sketch. But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible Design Teammates, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

LeAnne’s sketch was right up my alley. With its layers, it was perfect for showing off the beautiful Moonlit Flora paper. I love the organic vibe of this paper, with its dark, moody backgrounds and “pops” of bright colors. To add even more interest, I die cut small white flowers using the Fern & Flora dies. Of course, I had to add a healthy dose of rhinestones for sparkle. Spotlight on Nature dies and a 1-3/4″ circle punch were used to create the decorative sentiment circle. The sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames set. It was hand snipped and popped up onto the Secret Sea circle. Once again, rhinestones were used for sparkle. Yep! This was yet another card where the paper did the work. Lazy Ann strikes again! I can’t wait to send this one winging through the mail!

Just A Note and Honey, Too PP786

I love making “Just A Note” cards. By selecting the perfect sentiment for inside the card, “Just A Note” cards become so versatile. I could wish someone a happy birthday, wish them good luck, let them know I have been thinking of them, and so much more. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

Just a Note and Honey, too

This week I am hosting our Clean and Simple challenge with the fun theme of “Food”. For my card, I selected none other than the adorable Winnie the Pooh and his sweet collection of honey jars. The “Foodie” in me can’t wait to see what you create!  But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible Design Teammates, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”. It brightens our day!  Just remember it is Clean and Simple week. Make sure your creations meet the following criteria:

Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper collection was my “go-to” paper today. A diamond pattern sporting Golden Glow mid-century starbursts was layered onto a Very Vanilla panel which had been embossed using the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder. Just look at that beautiful texture! Pooh and his honey jars were snipped from another one of the delightful Silly Old Bear patterns. Peaceful Pines ribbon, plus a bow, covered the interface between the two layers. All that was needed to complete the card was a sentiment, inked in Pecan Pie, and a trio of Peaceful Pine In Color Dots. Easy peasy! This one will receive a happy birthday sentiment on the inside and will soon be winging its way to Florida!

Floral Vignette Hello PP785

A trio of flowers is a cheery way to say “Hello”, don’t you think? It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

Floral Vignette Hello

It’s Color Challenge week at The Paper Players and the lovely and creative Claire is our host. What a fabulous trio of colors she has for us: Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana. Of course, it should come as no surprise that I created a floral card, as floral cards are always my favorite to make. However, this is a wonderful color combination with so many possibilities. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. But before you head off to gather your stamps, papers and inks, please stop by and leave my incredible Design Teammates, who work so hard to inspire you weekly, some “Comment Love”.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I had so much fun using the NEW Floral Vignette stamp set from the May – August 2026 Catalog. I am usually a “Bundle Loving” gal, but this single stamp spoke to my heart. A bargain at its price point, this image can be used for so many occasions simply by switching out the sentiment. You can create a monochromatic image, or you can do as I did, using Claire’s lovely trio of colors, fussy cutting instead of masking. Of course, you know me and bling …. the more the merrier! Retiring Drusy gems and rhinestones abound.
