PP767 Challenge from Jaydee

Happy Sunday, all!  Jaydee is our Paper Players hostess with a really fun theme challenge this week:


Hmmm...this is open to so many interpretations!  A gift on your card?  An actual gift you created?  How about a card that looks like a gift!  Here we go:


My inspiration came from the Double D Challenge this week:


Aren't those presents pretty?  I used some old and new products on my card today!  The base is Cherry Cobbler, the top layer is Crumb Cake embossed with a Waffleflower Sweet Plaid Texture die.  I added "ribbons" of paper from Unity, a bell from Lil' Inker (sadly no longer in business), some Tim Holtz Greenery, a shabby tag from Gummiapan, and that cute little bow is Simon Says Stamp! Phew!  Oh, and the sentiment on the tag is also from Simon Says Stamp!


I hope you can find some inspiration from the DT's samples on the Paper Players blog, then squeak in time between all your holiday preparations to play with us!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

The rich colours and the repetition of the plaid design add up to a warm and cosy Christmas gift. Lovely!

This looks amazing, LeAnne! I love when a card pulls in a lot of different products 'cause just look how it turned out! I especially love the bell -- Lil' Inker had some great stuff -- and the cool tag. I'm tickled Crum Cake to see your card in our Double D Challenge!

Love this plaid ribbon and the pretty red jingle bell!

Ann, I love that you created a card like a present, and what gorgeous inspiration you found! I love the plaid background. It adds wonderful texture but does not take away from that fabulous bell and bow. Just gorgeous. Merry Christmas to you and yours

LeAnne it's clear to see where you got your inspiration from this week! I love the embossed 'wrapping paper' and that plaid ribbon is super festive too. Gorgeous!

Oh, LeAnne, this is simply amazing!! I love the plaid "ribbon", and the addition of the bell is the perfect final touch!! Lots of fabulous work here, it's obvious you have a real eye for color and design. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon!

LeAnne, this is FABulous! I love that you created a gift and used this fantastic plaid for the ribbon and bow. The little red bell with the greenery is the perfect add so much detail. The shabby tag is just perfect with the plaid. Wishing you and your family a VERY Merry Christmas and I will look forward to playing with you in the New Year, My Friend!
