Winter Cheer For A Happy New Year!-The Challenge #55

January 4, 2016

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!  It's time for a new challenge at The Challenge!  We are so excited to start 2016 with a fabulous sketch!  

 

1. Use the challenge to create a card or paper project.
2. Please add the challenge photo to your post (copy and paste).
3. Have fun and comment on the submissions of others.
4. Anything that is offensive to myself or to my viewers will be removed.
5. Have fun!!



I was searching through different paper packs (that I seem to hoard) and I found this bright pink polka dotted paper!  I knew just what I wanted to do.  I just received this fun stamp from Unity Stamp Co.-Snowpeep Grant.  I knew he was perfect for my card.  I stamped him with Momento black ink on Neenah Solor White Paper and colored him with Copic Markers.  I added some straw Stickles on his confetti and lots of Wink of Stella.  The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  Two stars were cut using gold foil and dies.  He just makes me smile!  


Thank you very much for stopping by my blog today!  I love to hear from you, so please leave a comment!

2016--PP276

January 3, 2016

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 The Paper Players are back after a nice little break to enjoy the holidays with our families!  We hope all of you had a wonderful season  and found time to do the things you love!

 Our amazingly talented Joanne is the hostess this week and she has a FUN challenge for us!  It's "All About Numbers" ---use a number on your card!  I had so many ideas for this challenge!  Birthday was the first thing that came to my mind, but get creative and wow us with your fabulous ideas! 

I needed a "Happy New Year" card, so I pulled out my Avery Elle-Numbered Balloons and glimmery gold paper and created these fun balloons !


My base card is white card stock.  I cut a piece of gold foil from Stampin' Up! to cover the front of my card.  I found this black star paper in my stash and thought--wow--this is perfect for my background.  I trimmed it with a My Favorite Things die in the Blueprint 14 set.  The balloons are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals and gold Baker's Twine is added behind each balloon. A big bow is added to hold the balloons together.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set Word Play.  I love this sentiment and still use it often.  "Imagine The Possibilities" is such a great sentiment for the New Year!  I stamped it with Versa Mark ink on a strip of vellum and heat embossed it using gold embossing powder.  Gold star confetti from Pretty Pink Posh was added on the vellum for sparkle.  


So happy you stopped by my blog today!  Please leave a message!  I love to hear from you!
