The Paper Players #128


Hi Everyone,

This week it's a colour challenge at the Paper Players

Digging through my stash of products to find the correct colours I found I had some retired Dsp to fit the bill, namely Flirtatious and Beyond the Garden dsps. 

Here is my card
I've combined a little old and new for my card.  I've used the Hearts a Flutter Framelits, Build a Brads, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Paper Doily and Oh Hello Stamp set (greeting) on my card all from the Seasonal Catalogue with Elegant Butterfly punch and the retired papers.  The cardstock is Basic Gray, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight per the colour challenge.  I also stamped my greeting with Pacific Point ink, directly onto the dsp which made it look a little greener.

Thanks so much for stopping by to view my card.  Please leave me a little blog love as I enjoy reading your comments.

    Carolyn, looking at your blog I can see why the bitty butterfly punch was your go to for this fabulous card :-) I love that you have tied the yellow on the base with the butterflies on the focal point. The strong font on the sentiment was perfect at the bottom. So glad you shared this fabulous card with the Paper Players this week

    Such a pretty combination of elements, Carolyn. Love the layered butterflies, doily and rhinestones together. Isn't it fun to have a paper stash to dig through? Great choices. Thanks for sharing your creation with The Paper Players this week!

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.

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
