734 - A Clean and Simple Challenge from Elizabeth

Happy Spring!  Elizabeth here to welcome you to a new challenge at the Paper Players.  Thanks to everyone who joined us last week for Stef's Color Challenge.  The entries were fabulous and so colorful in Green, Aqua, Yellow and Purple. I am so ready for spring and I hope you are too!

Here is today's Clean and Simple (CAS) challenge.  Remember CAS means lots of white space, minimal layers and minimal embellishments. Continue to think spring and add a BUNNY to your card creations.

Hopefully this is an easy challenge for you with Easter today.  The design team has taken the first step and provided you with a lot of bunny inspiration below.

PP733 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone, it's Stef with the challenge winners for PP 733.  First of all, a huge thank you to all who joined my color challenge this week.  Lots of lovely floral cards but also ones that went a different creative direction, which was equally wonderful to see.  

Before I reveal my Headliner for this week, let's look at the Cut Above choices from the team.

Christy Stanford

Wanda Cullen

Jolanda Johnstone

And now, onto my Headliner!

Michele

With the texture of the press plate and the soft stenciling, Michele created a simply stunning floral background in the challenge colors.  You could see the love she put into it and on the sentiment!) for a very special recipient.  Congratulations, Michele - you are my Headliner!

PP733 - A Color Challenge from Stef

Hello crafty friends!  Stef here to welcome you to a new challenge at the Paper Players!  But before we take a look at that, we'd like to thank everyone who joined us last week for Jan's Travel Theme.  There were so many wonderful cards and we appreciate you playing along!

Now for today's color challenge.  I went with what I think of as Spring colors, and feel free to use neutrals along with the challenge colors.

And of course the design team members have some wonderful inspiration for you.

PP732 Challenge Winners

Hello everyone! Jan here.

Many thanks to everyone who played along with my travel theme challenge this week. Whether you showed us the destination, the journey or the mode of transport we loved seeing what you made of the theme. There were many fabulous cards that made choosing a winner very tricky indeed!

Before we get to our headliner for this week, let's look at the Cut Above choices from the design team, in order of entry.

Erin T

Rosemary D

Wanda C

And for my Headliner:

Windy Ellard

The summer colours and weathered textures in Windy's card transported me immediately to my favourite holiday destination: the beach. As tempted as I was by other designs, I kept being drawn back to this card with the perfectly layered cluster and the promise of more summer. Congratulations, Windy - you are my Headliner!

Congratulations to all the winners!  You can pick up your winner's badges HERE.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow for a new Colour challenge from Stef. Until then, happy stamping!

PP732 - A Theme Challenge from Jan

Hello everyone! Jan here, with a new challenge for the new week. Before I share that with you, a big thank you to everyone who entered LeAnne's Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. We had such wonderful, creative entries and we look forward to seeing what you come up with this week.

The theme I've picked for you this time is TRAVEL. Maybe it's all about the journey, maybe it's all about the destination, maybe it's all about the transport you used to get there. Whatever your take on the travel theme is, we'd love to see it!

As always, the Design Team has some inspiration to get your ideas flowing. We can't wait to see what you create!

Hey there, stampers! LeAnne here, saying thanks to everyone who participated in our tic-tac-toe challenge!  So many fun creations!  Really, the design team always finds choosing winners such a challenge!  Before we get to my Headliner, let's see what tickled the DT's fancy!  We had a tie, so we actually have four Cuts Above:

Julia - Create With Me

And for my headliner:

JoAnn - Crafty Nana's Blog

I loved so many things about JoAnn's card! First, the shades of pink and green are beautiful; I just love the subtle hues that she used! The gray sentiments work perfectly with the florals, and what can I say about the ribbon treatment and the diecut border--just fabulous!  Congratulations, JoAnn, you're my Headliner for this week!
