Happy Sunday, stamping friends! This week is the first week back for the Paper Players, and I am the hostess with a lovely wintery color challenge for you! You could use this for a Christmas card, as I did, but I think the colors would be good for a masculine card as well, especially since there are some new "gear" stamps and dies in the new mini catalog! Here we go:
As I said, I chose to make a Christmas card with a relatively new-to-me die from Spellbinders called Barn Star! Here we go:
The star was diecut from Misty Moonlight cardstock, and I added a Night of Navy bow and silver glimmer accents. I also added a white glimmer oval underneath, and mounted it all on a panel of Basic White, embossed with a Spellbinder's embossing folder called Scattered Christmas. I used the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, but sadly missed the deadline.
My sentiment banner is from The Greetery; the inside sentiment is from Peaceful Season, both stamped in Night of Navy ink:
I am happy to be adding another Christmas card to my stash for 2026! I hope that you'll come play with my colors this week at the Paper Players, and share your creation with us over at the blog! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

LeAnne, this is such a beautiful card. The star die is ooh la la! LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, LeAnne! I am a sucker for anything blue and this one stole my heart! Love the star die, the glimmer paper and that EF! Another beauty for your 2026 Christmas stash! Great challenge today, too! Happy Sunday, my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteThat barn star, EF and sentiment along with the blues and silver just make for a lovely card!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, LeAnne! I love anything with stars and that die cut is gorgeous...so I'm going to blame you when I buy it ; ) I love the silver accents and the bow on top of your star and that embossed background is a lovely bit of texture without taking away from the stunning star. Thanks for a fun color challenge to start the year!
ReplyDeleteI bought that die set yesterday (and maybe another one so it wouldn't get lonely in the mail). If my hubs says anything, I will absolutely blame you ; )
DeleteI"m loving these colors as shown on your pretty and festive card, LeAnne! The glimmer is perfect to back that gorgeous star. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card LeAnne. Great design and great color choices and they are perfect for a Christmas card or any theme. Your star is so pretty in that blue with the silver accents. Will definitely have to play along.
ReplyDeleteOooo, that star is beautiful, LeAnne and the addition of the navy bow and sparkly foliage makes this spectacular! Thanks for a great color combo to start off the year!
ReplyDeleteLovely card!!! Blues & silver are always my favorite colors!! This is a very impressive star! Spellbinders has such creative dies.
ReplyDeletePretty stars, pretty layers! This is wonderful, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteThat's so very pretty! I love these colours as Christmas colours - even if it's just a tad early for me to be thinking of that just yet! Great challenge colours- thank you. And a Happy New Year to you too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, LeAnne! This star die cut is gorgeous, as is the embossed background. I love the silver and white glimmer accents. Thank you for starting off The Paper Player challenge year with a beautiful trio of colors. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card LeAnne - I love the subtle festive embossed background and the sparkle from that silver glimmer foliage is the perfect way to dress up your star. Such a great colour combo for Christmas cards - the one you sent me used it too (so pretty btw - thank you).
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I love this die and you have showcased it beautifully. I love it with these colors, too! The textured background with the touch of shimmer from the glitter paper is the perfect finishing touch.
