be used solely on feminine cards that s the way it usually ends up on my cards i also used a paper doily to wrap the flowers and a scallop border die to trim the background panel for lots of feminine detail the flowers doily twine and sentiment strip were all from the kit and those things are still available separately at sss i normally use a stamp positioner for stamping but for the technique i used for the flowers leaves and dies i pulled out some acrylic blocks the stamps were inked up then i used a sprayer to add a mist of water before stamping on watercolor paper i found i had to aim carefully to use just one spray because more than that caused the images to be blurry and that wasn t the look i was going for after drying the stamped images were cut out with the coordinating dies after adhering them together in the design i wanted they were tucked into the doily which was then glued shut and added to the pink background panel next came the sentiment strip and a jute twine bow with the final touch being the addition of a few sparkling gems thanks for stopping by i hope you ll take a moment to visit the challenge blog where my talented teammates have some gorgeous inspiration for you the challenge will remain open until friday may 7th at 3pm we d love to have you join us this week stef simon says stamp watercolor bouquet stamps and dies sss eyelet layer frame

flowers paper players simon says stamp thanks friday may 1 2026 cheers to you for color hues hello friends we have a new challenge for you over at color hues and this time i am hosting i ve chosen one of my favorite color combinations for the challenge color hues as a reminder you may use any hue of the two challenge colors so lighter darker whatever tone as long as it s a yellow and a blue neutrals are also welcome black white gray ivory brown kraft and metallics so sorry but green is not a neutral lol i m also sharing over at seize the birthday for their anything goes portion of the challenge stb 325 okay let s get to my card for a long time i knew precisely what i was going to create for this challenge but then spellbinders released their just a cake birthday card kit and i went in a completely different direction take a look as i am always in need of masculine birthday cards i chose to use the birthday brew die set from the kit confetti drop embossing folder and the just add cake stamps and dies in addition i used the essential arches and the color block accent arches which are not part of the kit i love that color block look in yellow and blue for the beer mug itself it was die cut from both light blue and vellum between those two layers a piece of acetate was added to give the look of glass with the beer behind it the watch was easy to put together once i decided on the colors of metallics to be used sandwiched between the face and band of the watch is a die cut circle of gray to make the watch hands visible the background arch was cut from white embossed with the confetti drop folder then a yellow ink pad was swiped across the raised elements so they would be more visible plus give more contrast between it and the beer foam i used partial die cutting to create a top folding arched shaped card base the final step after everything was assembled was to add a few small clear dew drops for an effervescent look thanks for stopping by please take a moment to visit the challenge blog for more inspiration by my incredibly talented teammates and guest designer greta the challenge will remain open until thursday may 14th at 9 00 am edt i hope you ll join

kit masculine seize the birthday spellbinders sunday april 26 2026 beautiful day for the paper players hello friends it s the fourth sunday of the month and that means a sketch challenge over at the paper players i m hosting this week and i ve created a sketch that should give you lots of options for your card paper players i m also sharing my card over at the simon says stamp wednesday challenge where they are looking for feminine cards i really love wreaths and thought the wide open space on the right side of the sketch would work well for one the wreath is from concord 9th s briar blooms die set and the banner sentiment is from the matching stamp set the wreath along with the layering leaves and flowers was die cut from colored cardstock then i did some ink blending to give them more depth and dimension i took my color inspiration from the strip of plaid paper which was part of an old paper pack from mft the light purple paper was embossed with a floral design then both pieces were adhered to the card base with a strip of white to cover the seam i had to chuckle because this is my sketch and i almost forgot the shape at the lower right i wanted something small which i found in an older mama elephant sentiment set the smallest die from a hexagon die set worked beautifully to die cut the sentiment after gluing the wreath to the card front a bit of foam tape was added beneath the large purple flowers and also the center of the banner the happy birthday was also popped up with foam tape then to finish things off tiny little gems were added to the tiny little flowers for some pretty sparkle thanks so much for stopping by be sure to take a moment to visit the challenge blog for some wonderful inspiration by my talented teammates the challenge will remain open until

for a new cas challenge at the paper players and this time the amazing christy is hosting she s chosen a fun theme for our cas cards paper players i don t have many baby animal stamps or dies but i found one in my stash that is so sweet i m glad i remembered it i have a number of anita jeram stamps from colorado craft company but hadn t used this particular image before the little bunnies are just toooooo cute in this scene and the sentiment says it all to color the image and create a background i went back to my roots and used distress inks to watercolor the soft colors are wonderful and perfect for this family of bunnies out for a little jaunt on a spring day when the watercoloring was dry the panel was trimmed down with an eyelet layer frame die it was adhered to a panel of light blue then added to the card base with foam tape we would love to have you share your baby animal card with us this week i encourage you to head over to the challenge blog where my talented teammates

challenge at color hues she has chosen some wonderful spring colors color hues remember that you can use any hues of these colors and you ll see that with the gorgeous cards by the other design team members as well as mine i ve always found coral to be a bit tricky to create with using inks or alcohol markers but then jennifer mcguire came to my rescue in a video earlier this year using three shades of altenew inks listed below so that s what was used to ink blend all the die cut petals on the flower if anybody that has suggestions for coral copic marker combos that don t look too red i d appreciate knowing after the ink blending of both the leaves and flower petals was complete the flower was assembled all six layers plus the center pieces i didn t care for the shape of the top flower center die that was part of the die set so i substituted one from another set both the betterpress sentiment and the flower center were inked using altenew antique gold pigment ink texture was added to the green background with a cover plate die then a die cut lattice became the landing spot for the peony other than fussing with the flower center this card came together very quickly the challenge will remain open until wednesday april 29th at 3 00 pm edt for more inspiration i encourage you to visit the challenge blog to see all those gorgeous cards created by my amazing teammates and our

players hello friends today the paper players is back with our monthly color challenge this time the lovely jan is hosting and has chosen a great color combination paper players i really love black and yellow together but i have to admit the gray threw me for a bit but after some trial and error a satisfactory card emerged lol i knew i was going to use my altenew buttercup bunch die set because well buttercups are yellow lol it s a rather modern style so i tried different graphic designs for the background but nothing worked then i realized i was using too dark of a gray so i went searching around and found the stenciled background i ended up using it was in with some stampin up neutral scraps and was one of my last pieces of smoky slate which i didn t even know i still had the panel was stenciled using versamark ink i trimmed it down to have a white border on each side then added the black strip the flowers were arranged with the stems glued down and the flowers popped up using thin foam squares the stacked sentiment was adhered then a few onyx gems finished things off what are you inspired to create with this color trio i think it would work equally well for a more masculine card the rest of the design team has fabulous inspiration with a variety of designs over at the challenge blog so i encourage you to head over and take a peek the challenge will remain open until
