An Eclectic Mix for Paper Players 812

Joanne's classic Christmas combination brought out such wonderful entries last week. I feel sure that Jaydee's Clean and Simple challenge will do the same... just create us something in a clean and simple style on the theme of Christmas. 

Please note that by 'Clean and Simple', the crew at The Paper Players mean:

• Lots of clean, open space (ie not full faces of patterned paper).
• One main focal point
• Few embellishments
• Minimal layers (ie avoid a lot of matted layers. No layers or one layer would keep it safe.)

So, go ahead and embrace Jaydee's double challenge: a Christmas theme in a Clean and Simple Style.

To help keep the CAS vibe, I've used a base of Thick Basic White card. I've added a partial emboss across the top corner using the Swirls of Magic embossing folder. 

Then I played around with the Shining Stars dies, which were the October Product of the Month. I inlaid several sizes together in Basic White and Gold Foil. 

Keep your eyes out for Product of the Month as these are available for $11 with any qualifying order while stocks last. Since they sold out, sadly these are no longer available - but the November POM is, so take a look. 

To balance out the top left cluster, I added the sentiment in the bottom right. I gold embossed the lovely 'Merry Christmas' from Noel Tidings. 

I toyed with adding a few glittery embellishments but decided against it.

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. Create a new paper-craft project specifically for this challenge.
2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us.
3. Please provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge entry.
4. Please link your card to no more than four challenges, TOTAL, including ours
5. Have fun, and thank you for playing with us!

Don't forget to check out the great inspiration from the rest of the design team.
