CAS Mixed Bunch for Paper Players #187

Hello there stampers! Hope you are having a great day so far. This week Jaydee is our hostess over at the Paper Players with a Clean and Simple Spring card challenge. Jaydee is truly the Queen of CAS cards. She has a way of doing "more with less". I always over-do CAS cards, it seems. I have really been trying to "clean up my act" and not stress about them when I make them. That was my approach for my card for the challenge. Thank goodness it wasn't a one-layer card challenge or I would have REALLY been in trouble. Haha!

The layout was inspired by one I saw on my stamping pal Lesley's blog: The Challenge. Any layout that has elements repeated in "threes" always catches my eye. I decided to use two stamp sets I rarely ink up and picked out a fun spring trio of colors. It is not a complicated card but I really like how it came out. The colors really pop and I am going to be able to pop it in the mail using only one stamp! Whoot!   

Here are the products I used to create my card: 

• Mixed Bunch Stamp Set
• Sweet Essentials Stamp Set
• Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (Sale-A-Bration item)
• 1" Circle Punch
• Banner Punch (Sale-A-Bration item)
• Basic Rhinestones
• Classic Stamp Pads in Rose Red, Gumball Green and Wisteria Wonder
• Card stock in Whisper White and Rose Red

Please join us over at the Paper Players!  The challenge is open through Friday, March 21st, 2014 at Noon (PDT). Stop by and say hello to the rest of the Design Team to see what they are sharing this week.

Postage Collection for Paper Players #156

Hello there! Happy Sunday to you! This week at the Paper Players the lovely LeAnne is our hostess and she has a fabulous sketch to take for a spin. I love this layout! It automatically went into the "favorites" file to use over and over again. Oh, and it is LeAnne's birthday, too. Please stop by her blog to share some simles! 

I have been absolutely swamped lately so I created my card a little late this week. I had the pleasure of spending Sunday afternoon with a wonderful friend. We had a blast talking, laughing and creating. Thanks Amy for a great visit...and I even got to fawn over her gorgeous dogs, so that was an added bonus! :) 

Amy let me use quite a few of her supplies today, including her Postage Collection stamp set (which I have at home but didn't bring), the new Poetry Print Embossing Folder along with lots of punches. It's fun to stamp at a friend's house to get some much needed inspiration. I brought along my Modern Medley DSP and kind of wanted to create a "clean vintage" style card. I don't know if that is an actual "style" or not, but I went with it anyway. I love how it came out! Layers, pearls, patterns and texture.
