A Peek at The Players

As you read this, the Schach Clan is rooting for Muffy at this weekend’s dog show.  However, I thought you would like a peek at Sunday’s  The Paper Players challenge card.  My talented friend and Convention room mate, Anne Marie,  has prepared a fabulous challenge for you that I know you will love.  Won’t you join me for the reveal tomorrow?  Until next time…

Swinging with The Pals

It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! Yesterday I alluded to the fact that today’s card is clean and simple.  Sure..there are a couple of layers, and of course pearls, but Margaret Moody’s fabulous sketch just said “Keep it clean(er), Ann!”  Who am I to argue with a sketch when it speaks to me!  Enjoy “Swinging with The Pals”!

 

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Bold and Graphic

The finished dimensions of today’s card are 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″.

  • Stunning Silhouettes! For crisp edges on silhouette images, ink your stamp in Jet Black StazOn! 
  • Bold bows!  5/8″ Satin Ribbon is perfect for creating full and fabulous bows.  In keeping with my color scheme, I selected Basic Black for this beauty.  If you need a refresher on how I create my bows, here is my Quick and Fabulous Bow video.
  • Pretty Pearls! What could be faster and easier than adding pearls for instant pizzazz!  These are the new 8mm Large Basic Pearls!

There you have it! I am anxious to hear what you think of today’s card.  Won’t you let me know by leaving me a comment?  Your comments are important to me…and I do read each and every one! And remember…if you ever have a question about the cards that I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
