Paper Players Challenge 188

Hello Everyone,

Today the rain is absolutely pelting down here.  So good for our water tanks and dams.  It's been a while since we had any decent rain, so we are thankful.  The added bonus is that this weather is perfect for staying indoors and crafting.

I haven't played in the Paper Players Challenge for a while but the sketch this week looked really interesting.


I decided I would combine a number of sentiments here for a feel good card.  I'm using the sets Perfect Pennants and Starburst Sayings with Gorgeous Grunge, some washi tape, circle punches, Hearts and Pennants framelits.  Here is my card.


I love the collage effect I've been able to achieve with this sketch and the variety of elements.  My cardstock is Pistachio Pudding, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and Coastal Cabana.  Of course, I also had to sneak in a little butterfly from the Beautiful Wings embosslits too.  Below is a photo which shows some of the detail more clearly.

The inks used are Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Crumb Cake.  I've also added some texture to my hearts by embossing with the Decorative dots and Square Lattice embossing folders.

Thanks very much for stopping by today.  Would love to hear your thoughts on this card.  Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
