Birds of a Feather for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #385

Happy Saturday! The design team across at Atlantic Hearts have another fabulous sketch for us to use this week. I love playing along for two reasons. #1 the sketches ... they always challenge me and I really like that. #2 the design team always stop by and leave personalized comments - and that's rare for a lot of challenge sites! We do that at the Paper Players and I know how much time it takes to consistently do that - so cheers to the DT at AHSC :-) Now, on to this week's sketch: It took me a little while... Read more →

Game On for Paper Players #507

Happy Sunday! It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's theme week. For my card I used Game On from Stampin' Up! I think it is ideal for masculine cards. Oh, and I love the montage that Nance put together for our badge this week! For some reason, I thought this was Clean and Simple week... but it isn't! However, my card is :-) I stamped and fussy cut the chess pieces and added a little shading to some of the pieces with my Copic markers. I used the "board" piece to create a vertical... Read more →

Love of Leaves for Festive Friday and Case This Sketch

Happy Saturday! Day 3 of my vacation and I got to spend a little time in my crafting cave. For today's card I used Stampin' Up! Love of Leaves and played along with the sketch at CTS and the inspiration list at Festive Friday: I went with leaves, gold, stitching (and brown) I played around with some Cajun Craze ink and watercolor paper. By layering the levels of water and drying in between, I was able to get a little depth on the water color paper with the ink. I then splattered some gold watercolor ink on top and die-cut...

Prized Peony for Atlantic Hearts Sketches #384 and CTD #609

Happy Friday! So glad it is a long weekend! I didn't get much time in my crafting cave today as I had hoped. However, I was able to play along with two challenges - Atlantic Hearts Sketches #384 and Color Throwdown #609. I used my favorite Stampin' Up! set, Prized Peony for my card and mixed it with some Stampin' Up! Playing with Patterns DSP. Here's the sketch from AHS: and the colors from ColorThrowdown: I began by stamping the main flower from Prized Peony and colored them with my red-violet and green markers. I cut some DSP from the...

Hey Chick for AAA #173

Happy Thursday! Today is the first day of our long weekend. I don't go back to work until Wednesday! So, I got some time to play along with a couple of challenges. The first features one of my favorite old Stampin' Up! sets called Hey, Chick. It's Sale-a-Bration set from 2017 and is one of those sets that I will always keep. I just love it! When I saw the sketch across at AAA - and the optional theme, I tried to mimic a film roll, although, it really is a polaroid strip! So, I didn't quite accomplish the optional... Read more →
