Happy Sunday and Happy March, friends!
Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, the lovely Claire is hosting our Theme Challenge.
This was such a fun challenge to celebrate the Spring season. I realize it isn’t quite Spring everywhere but here in south Texas our weather has been lovely lately. The yard is starting to see some blooms and although rain isn’t in the forecast here for a bit, it is a good sign of things to come. I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!
*I’ve shared the supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.
Color Combo:
For my card, I decided to use the Bright Skies stamps and dies from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. As soon as I saw this set, I knew I had to have it. The sentiments are so sweet and I just love all of the adorable “weather” images. This set also coordinated with the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper which was a free offering during Sale-A-Bration. I love how the paper coordinates with the cloud dies for lots of fun patterns. This paper is no longer available as Sale-A-Bration just ended at the start of the month, but this card could easily be re-created with the stamp set and other products like an embossed background in place of the patterned paper.
I made this card on my weekly Facebook Live video today. If you’d like to check it out, you can watch it HERE.
I die-cut the little raindrops from the Three Color Glimmer Paper, which I just realized I forgot to add to the supply list below. It’s an Online Exclusive right now. The little pop of sparkle adds the perfect amount of detail. I also added a little pop of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon behind the heat embossed sentiment for some fun texture. A trio of sequins added some extra pop without a lot of bulk. And of course, I had to add some Wink of Stella to the sunshine, just because.

Product List
Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I added an extra strip of DSP along with a stamped sun, because more sunshine is never a bad thing, right? There is lots of room to write a sweet note to a friend.
I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Sketch Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday March 8th, 2024.
