The Paper Players Challenge #72 {Yuletide Blessings}




Another Sunday is here already! Christmas is coming fast and I spent the weekend making some Christmas cards for my stash! I actually made 40 clean and simple cards, that I hope to share with you this week. For now, I am excited to share with you LeAnne's amazing Colour Combo for this week's Paper Players challenge!

This week I inked up this adorable stamp set called "Christmas Cheer" from my new blogging friend Joanna Munster of Inspired by Stamping.  She designed this stamp set and I was fortunate enough to receive one from her this week!  Isn't that lovely?  I am on her new design team and I am so excited to be working with her! I embossed the tree with Always Artichoke Ink and my versamark pad/clear embossing powder.  Both the River Rock Panel and the Riding Hood Red panels are embossed, and who can resist that awesome striped grosgrain ribbon, I love the stuff!

I loved this colour combo from LeAnne so much I had to make another card with it!  Tree is stamped with Always Artichoke and then I stamped over it again with River Rock ink. I just love how those inks go together!  I embossed the background with the "Victoria" cuttlebug embossing folder. Lots of red here but I think it packs a punch!


We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

  5. Ok, this stamp set is GORGEOUS!! You, my friend have showcased it beautifully, too. Such an elegant, clean design as only you can do so well. I could see either of these in a frame, Lesley. As a matter of fact, if one of these arrives in my mailbox for Christmas (*wink, wink*), that's is exactly where it will go. Hope that pumpkin cheesecake was delicious...yes, I'm still thinking about it! Lol! Hugs! :)
