Modern Christmas for The Paper Players 757

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players but before I share that with you I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who entered my CAS Watercolour challenge last week. I was blown away by the beautiful entries and choosing the Headliner was not an easy task!

This week, Stef has a sketch challenge for us. I love a sketch challenge because I'm always delighted by the great variation in the projects that all had the same starting point. 


I'll admit that when the September-December Mini Catalogue, and the associated On Line Exclusives, came out I was frugal in my preordering. But the Modern Christmas suite did keep poking at me and I was a late purchaser. In fact, it's only just arrived and this is my first play around with it. 

This card pretty much made itself and is one that you could easily make multiples of. There is a large circle die that's part of the bundle but I started with one of the decorative circle dies from Spotlight on Nature. The large and small stars were cut from gold foil using the Ornamental Christmas dies.


The DSP is Modern Christmas Specialty DSP, layered on a Gold Foil mat on a Basic Black card base.
The decorative circle is popped up on dimensionals.  I added a bow using the gold and white twine, before attaching the sentiment.


We'd love to see what you do with Stef's sketch. 

You can see what the rest of the team have done and link up your entry on The Paper Players page. 

Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:

  1. Wow, Jan! Your card is so elegant and classy! I have the paper, but I did not purchase the Modern Christmas bundle. After seeing your card, I am second guessing why I didn't buy this bundle. The gold stars and twine are great details that really set off that amazing gold star. LOVE it! Have a wonderful week1

  2. Jan, I ooed and awed over your card when I first saw it! I love the sophisticated elegance of the dsp pattern and the modern look of the stars. Thank you for making such a stunning card using my sketch!
