Paper Players #121

Hi Everyone,

This weeks challenge at the Paper Players is a Colour Challenge featuring the following:-


I'm making gifts at the moment, so thought these colours would work for some Calendar/Post It Note Easels that I'm making for a Christmas Craft Fair.  I thought of French Foliage when I looked at these colours.

Here is a card I've made with the challenge colours.  The Triple layer card has been done before with French Foliage and I've made it with many other stamp sets too, but I love how it turned out in these colours.


The accompanying Calendar Easel with the Post It Notepad is my challenge entry for this week and I think they will make a great gift set together.



I've included the side on view, as I've had requests asking how they are made.  They are basically a normal Easel card but stand a lot more upright because of the note pad which is adhered in place.

Here is the closeup view

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you've enjoyed viewing my challenge entry.  Please leave me some comments if you like what you've seen.

    I've never seen a calendar easel before and it is fabulous! Love your layout with the top note and leaves behind the calendar and the triple stamped card is a lovey way to use the colors and that stamp set! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!

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.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
