The Paper Players 421 - Design Team Card

Jaydee's theme challenge this week at The Paper Players is very timely indeed.


It certainly is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! In our family, the decorations go up on 1 December and that's what happened yesterday. Is it looking a lot like Christmas at your place too?

This year has been the year of the screen card for me. I saw one whilst sightseeing on Pinterest and I was captivated. I've made several and even included one in my Festive Fancy Folds class last weekend. Clearly, they're still on my mind as this is what turned out when I started playing around at my desk to make something for this challenge!


Peaceful Noel is still my favourite Christmas set from the current Holiday Catalogue. I love all those little foliage and berry stamps and the way they can be arranged and stamped. Plus the DSP is just glorious, with the copper accents.


One thing I really like about screen cards is the way they close up to fit inside a standard envelope, then open out like a small book.


The rest of the team at have done wonders with this theme, so why not pop over to The Paper Players and see what they've done, then play along with us.

Here's a quick reminder of our few rules.
  1. Create a new paper project.
  2. Provide a link back to The Paper Players in your post.
  3. Provide a direct link to your blog post for your challenge entry.
  4. Please link your card to no more than FOUR challenges (including ours).
  5. Enjoy!
Please take note of these few rules, as entries that do not comply will be deleted from the gallery.

Colour Inkspiration 43 - Guest Designer

Recently, I had a win at Colour Inkspiration and, as a result, was lucky enough to not only receive a spot in Bronwyn Eastley's online Christmas Extravaganza class but a chance to guest design at this challenge. I feel very privileged to have taken a win here as there are always amazing creations from crafters all around the world. If you haven't played here before visit here and ask to join.

This week's challenge will appeal to lots of people, I think, given that this year's In Colours are so bright, beautiful and bodacious!


In addition to using any or all of this year's In Colours, you can also use the Basics (white, black, vanilla) and metallics in your creation.

Lovely Lipstick is my favourite In Colour but Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch have also made guest appearances in my project, which is a screen card with a customised envelope/wallet.



I am having a bit of a love affair at the moment with Very Vintage, one of the Hostess Sets from the annual catalogue. I think it looks great done in non-vintage colours to make a very special birthday card.

Here's a close up of the envelope and what the card looks like unfolded, as it emerges from the envelope. Although the envelope has a flap that will stick down, I added a ribbon and tag to tie around it, just to make it seem extra special to the recipient.


Isn't that bouquet just glorious, stamped in a single colour? It's fabulous coloured in as well.
If you squint just right, you might see the shimmery Wink of Stella wings on the bee. You don't have to squint in real life. :-)


And here is just the card. The 'feet' are made with the Classic Label punch.


Next up on the hop is the delightful Denita Wright-Smee.
