Floral and Feminine Friendship Card

Floral and feminine, today’s friendship card will be sure to delight the recipient! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

floral and feminine friendship cardThis week, the amazing LeAnne has an awesome sketch for us. Since I was in the need for a feminine friendship card, I saw an opportunity to use the Darling Details dies to create a sweet, floral frame in pink. While I definitely went floral and feminine, the sky is the limit as to what can be designed with this versatile sketch.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

When I said today’s card was floral and feminine, I was not fibbing. This delightful designer paper is from the Delightfully Eclectic collection. In hindsight, I probably should not have combined the stripes and the delicate flowers, but I just could not help myself.  The patterns reminded me so much of the wallpaper in my cousin Shelly’s bedroom when we were growing up. Three walls were a delicate pink floral very similar to this paper, while the wall behind her bed was pink stripes.  And you know what else she had? WHITE carpeting! Yep, cousin Shelly did not live on a farm. No shoes were allowed in THAT bedroom!  While today’s floral and feminine friendship card was not designed for Shelly, I have to make another one just for her. I know she will get a kick out of it! As for the intended recipient, she loves pink and anything girly-girly. I know she will not mind the rather busy stripes and floral combo.

Thank You for Lighting the Way

“Thank you for lighting the way” is a beautiful sentiment.  My intended recipient has done just that for me, and I want her to know how thankful I am. She is my beacon in the darkness who happens to LOVE any shade of pink. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

This week it is time for our monthly Clean and Simple challenge and I have the honor of hosting.  I selected the theme of “Don’t Bug Me!”  It’s a silly theme because I really DO want you to “bug” me – your creation needs to feature any type of insect. Mine features lightning bugs.  But before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, remember that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:

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

Colors Of the Day

Thank you for lighting the way

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

From the moment I saw the Lighting My Way bundle, I knew I would own it someday.  The stamp set captured my attention because of its sentiment, while the dies are absolutely fabulous.  This lantern is gorgeous when die cut from Distressed Gold while the lightning bugs have such wonderful detail. And you want to know the best thing about today’s card? It’s easy!

It’s A Science

How could a retired science teacher like me NOT have the It’s A Science stamp set in my arsenal? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

It's A Science

It’s time for our monthly color challenge, and the super-talented Anne Marie has a fun combination for us:

It's A Science

With four “potions” bubbling in this fabulous array of glassware, I felt the It’s A Science stamp set was a fun way to showcase these colors.  I opted to select Black as my neutral of choice.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

On today’s card, I used Blender Pens and inks to color the solutions. Easy peasy, right? I glammed things up a wee bit by accenting some of the bubbles with clear rhinestones and adding a touch of Clear Wink of Stella to the clip on the clipboard. These simple details really stepped this card up a notch for sure!
