The Paper Players #396: A Theme Challenge from Joanne

Hi there and welcome back for another Paper Players Challenge hosted by our own Crafty Owl, Joanne!  

Animal Antics - how fun is this!  I have a number of animal stamps (mostly puppies as you would imagine), but I've had this soaring cow with a balloon for quite a while and it is still one of my faves. The sentiment always makes me smile!

Cards in Envy: Penny for your Thoughts

Welcome CIE friends!  It's time for another creative challenge over at Cards in Envy and this time we're looking for thought bubbles, speech bubbles, word bubbles, etc. on your cards.

These adorable giraffes from MFT were stamped, die cut, and colored up with Copics.  I also used the punny sentiment from the same stamp set.  The clouds (also MFT) were stenciled in and the giraffes are standing in clumps of die cut grass from Memory Box.  

Come play with us!  Keep your cards flat enough for mailing and share your "thoughts" with us!

Thanks for stopping by ~ Have a great week 😎

Moo-velous!

Hi there!  I needed another birthday card, so I used the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as a jumping off point for my second card today:

Then I shopped my stash for farm animals so I could also play along with Shopping Our Stash's latest challenge (#268) too! 

Here's the stuff I used:

     Cardstock - Bazzill Coconut, Bazzill Licorice

     DSP - The Stamps of Life

     Stamps - Great Impressions

     Dies - My Favorite Things

     Other - Zigs, Judikins white embossing powder

I'll also be linking up to the Live Love Cards September Challenge - Cute Creatures.  Nothing cuter than a big ol' cow holding a balloon!  Thanks for stopping by!
