Paper Players Theme Challenge-Happy Valentine's Day

The Paper Players Challenge is up and running for the New Year!  I hope everyone had a restful hoiliday break and had some wonderful time with family and friends.  Today's challenge and our first for the year is a theme!  We would like you to start making your Valentine cards!!  We also have a brand new Guest Designer, Julie Gearinger.  Welcome Julie!!  We are so happy to be crafting with you this month!


I decided to create a traditional card with a Red and Pink theme.  I used a new Flower die that is available in the New Occasions Mini Catalogue called "Fun Flowers".  I love it!!  I crimped the flowers with my paper crimper.  I also used the Designer Paper and a sentiment from the "Filled with Love Bundle" that is available until January 24th!  It is a terrific deal with 12 sheets of DSP, one cute stamp set and some clear bitty buttons.  The mini centre flower was created using one of the Itty Bitty Punches and a Pearl was placed in the middle.  I love that DSP!!  A little Pink Taffeta Ribbon was added for some more pink colour on the card!!

Thanks for stopping by!
