It is sweet Claire’s turn to host this week, and what fun she has in store for us. Since it’s the fifth Sunday in a month, it’s time for Tic-Tac-Toe! What a wonderful board she has for us!

I went down the left side of the grid and used white, Christmas and die cuts. 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

It doesn’t get any easier than today’s card! As you can see, the Jolly Holly hybrid embossing folder and die did all the work. If you are not familiar with this amazing hybrid folder, this versatile product creates a textured background of holly leaves and berries, along with partial pop-up leaves. It adds such wonderful dimension. It was used to die cut the card front, which was then matted onto a piece of retired Shy Shamrock glimmer paper. Retired Real Red Rhinestones served as the perfect holly berries. All that was needed to complete this card was a sentiment. I used an old Momenta “joy” die, found when I was “decluttering” my craft stash, to die cut the sentiment. Ta-da! How easy is that! Although slightly oversized, the resulting card will snuggle perfectly into an A6 envelope.

Glorious Leaves PP765

Comments: 10

November and all it entails, including the continuous raking of glorious leaves, is quickly passing us by. For those of us who celebrate Thanksgiving, that day will soon be here. I will count my blessings and reflect upon the love I share with family and friends, both two-legged and four! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.

It’s sketch week at The Paper Players and I have the honor of being your host. I have selected a sketch which allows you to have fun with your favorite paper, sentiments, and images! It consists of three panels in the middle with a wide margin all the way around. While I went the “Let the Paper Do All the Work” route, I can’t wait to see what YOU create. Will your center panel include an image? What will your sentiment say? Will you celebrate the holiday season? There is so much you can do with this sketch.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Sometimes a paper is so beautiful, it’s a crime not to show it off. Such is the case with the Gathering Together specialty designer series paper. Glorious leaves, berries and toadstools are resplendent in their beautiful fall colors. The tri-panel center was matted onto Early Espresso and then onto Gold Foil, and “popped” up using dimensionals. I tried a variety of backgrounds, including embossed cardstock, but in the end I decided that nothing looked better than the same leafy pattern as was in the center. The “Thankful for You” sentiment was heat embossed in gold onto Early Espresso cardstock. I kept the sentiment small so it would not cover up the gorgeous paper. Because there were metallic foil accents on the paper itself, no other embellishments were needed, making this a wonderful card for mailing.

It is Clean and Simple week at The Paper Players! Our talented host, Stef, has selected a timely theme: Make a Clean and Simple card featuring your favorite holiday image, such as a Santa, a Menorah, candles, presents, ornaments, a Christmas tree and more. Yep! It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!

I pulled out the retired Peace on Earth dies and created a dove card. I can’t wait to see what you create. 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

Colors for a Dove for PP764

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

While there are many iconic images of the holiday season, my favorite is a dove. There is something innately calming and spiritual about a dove. To me, a dove represents the season’s messages of hope and goodwill, of peace and love, of harmony and family. I LOVE Stampin’ Up!’s retired Detailed Dove dies. They produce a beautiful and elegant representation of a dove. Perched upon an ornate rectangle, die cut using a Peace on Earth die, she forms the focal point of my card. The lovely, embossed background was made using the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder. Embellishments were kept to a minimum, with three gold flower accents complimenting the gold olive branch she holds in her beak. Although I would love to keep her and frame her, giving her a prominent place on my mantle, she will instead be winging her way to my son and his wife to adorn his mantle.
