PP638 and Happier than Happy

 Good Morning,

Today is Sunday and that means it is time for a new challenge over at The Paper Players. I hope you all will make a project of your own and join us in this challenge. I picked an adorable retiring stamp set and die bundle and some fun coordinating paper that is also going away. 

Anne Marie is bringing us a fun Tic-Tac-Toe challenge this week. For this  challenge just pick any row, column or diagonal three elements to create your project. You , of course can use more than three elements. Wouldn't it be fun to use them all? I used four. I went with the middle column of layers, die-cut and funfold. I also added patterned paper.

The design team has created some creative projects to inspire you. Stop by our challenge page to see what we made. Drop us a comment while you are there.

I started by scoring an 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" piece of soft suede cardstock at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" 

I added layers of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to the card base. Two pieces measured 1 15/16" by 5 5/16". The third measured 4 1/16" by 5 5/16".

A 2 5/8" by 3 15/16" Stitched Rectangle was cut from the DSP and layered onto a 2 3/4" by 4 1/8" piece of Calypso Coral cardstock.

Using the Happier than Happy stamp set, the bear was stamped with Crumb Cake ink. The owl with Sahara Sand. The stump with Soft Suede. The mushrooms and butterfly were stamped with Calypso Coral. All were cut with the coordinating, Happy Forest dies. The grass was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink and cut out by hand. 

Trees were die-cut from Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstock. The above elements were attached to the front panel. The Panel was attached to the left side of the card front.

A 2 5/8" by 3 15/16" white rectangle was cut for the inside. The sentiment was stamped with Soft Suede ink. The Butterflies and mushrooms from Calypso Coral. The grass from Old Olive and the tree from Mossy Meadow. This rectangle was glued to the center.

I hope you join us at The Paper Players this week. We would love to see what you create for this sketch challenge. You can enter your project from now until noon PST on Friday, May 5, 2023. See all the rules and requirements on the challenge page.
