Hey Chuck for PP658


Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, Claire is hosting our Clean-and-Simple (CAS) Challenge.


Clean-and-Simple week, we meet again. Haha! This is always my most challenging week, but I think I’ve really started to embrace it more and more in recent months. I did find for this challenge that I do NOT have an overabundance of sport-themed stamps in my stash. But I DID find a rooster on a skateboard. Skateboarding is a sport…although I don’t see a lot of roosters participating regularly. It fit the bill for this challenge, so I went with it! I sure hope you will take this challenge for a spin and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve shared a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.

Color Combo: 
The Hey Chuck stamp set and coordinating dies are one of my favorite bundles in the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog! Animals are always more fun when they are wearing clothing and “doing things”, right? The roosters in this set sure have a lot of personality and I just love all of the different ways they can be colored, too. 

I decided to go with a bright and cherry primary color combo for my card, which I kind of love. I kept the layout pretty CAS and added three 1/4” strips of cardstock to create a little grounding for this feathered friend as he rides across the card on his board. I also popped in some texture on the die-cut circle from the new Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders. The waves created a little more “movement” which I really liked. Finally I popped on a little die cut sunshine…because everything is more fun on a sunny day and two little festive pearls to finish things off.

Autumn Leaves for PP657


Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, Jaydee is hosting our Color Challenge.


This is such a lovely color palette and so fitting for the Autumn season. Later this week, the high temps here are supposed to dip under 90 degrees for the first time in months. SO excited! I’m already planning my outfit for a trip to Starbucks for my first Pumpkin coffee drink of the season. Haha! I sure hope you will take this challenge for a spin and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve shared a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.


These colors had me inspired to use the new Autumn Leaves Bundle from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. I just love all of the fabulous foliage in this set. I mixed some of the stamped leaves with the detailed die-cut leaves for a cluster of Autumn goodness in the challenge colors. I also used the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for that touch of copper metallic detail in the background. The new Distressed Tiles 3D Embossing Folder added a great pop of texture on the Very Vanilla background, too. 

For a little more texture, I took a piece of the Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon and pulled one of the fibers on the end to fray the ribbon. I saved the frayed ribbon for another project. and took the single strand that I pulled the ribbon apart with pop behind the sentiment label. It adds some great texture and interest without a lot of bulk. Finally, its tough to see in the photos but I brushed the Wild Wheat leaves with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for some added sparkle and shine.
