Clean and simple houses are on the agenda for today, in an homage to one of my favorite retired stamp sets, Holiday Home. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
It’s clean and simple week at The Paper Players, and the incredibly talented Laurie has a great theme for us: House!
Because I did not have a single current house stamp in my “collection”, I opted to go retro, and use one of my favorite retired bundles, Holiday Home. This is one of those sets which I will never sell. It is perfect for creating a clean and simple card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. But, remember, by clean and simple The Paper Players mean cards that:
- Have minimal layers and embellishments
- Have plenty of open space
- Are simple and uncluttered

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Today’s card maintains its clean and simple status with an abundance of white space. The Splatters embossing folder adds texture and interest without adding the “clutter” of some of the fussier designer paper patterns. A single rhinestone serves as the only bling. Many of you will not have this stamp set, but the value of today’s post is in its clean and simple layout. The next time you need a clean and simple card, consider this design. The Stitched Rectangle layers are quick and easy to create. An embossing folder adds texture and interest, and there are so many fabulous ones from which to choose. Top off your card with simple images of your choice, and you are ready to brighten up someone’s mailbox.

It was hard work walking my Mom and Dad at the park. They kept wanting to sit. But, I can handle the job. I’m a working dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!
My good friend, Michelle, was there. My Mom handed her my “take-me-with-you-rope”, and we went inside the biggest building I have ever seen. There were hundreds of other dogs there. I was so scared, and shaking, but Michelle loved on me, and made me feel better.
Michelle gave me a kiss on the head, and told me I was a good boy!
