How excited I am to be creating my first post for Paper Players as a Guest Designer!
I get to design a project, once a week, for an entire year! This is such an awesome opportunity to be among this fabulous group of designers. Our first challenge is “crazy about critters,” and I couldn’t wait to get started!
Friends Forever
Cat Punch was excited also, when she heard the theme was “critters.” She named herself Caramel, because of the color of her Wood Textures fur. She generously offered some space for the new Dog Punch, if he could have matching fur, and be named Goldie.
Who was I to argue? I’m delighted that they decided to be “friends forever.” They wanted me to stamp this sentiment from the Happy Tails stamp set (Pear Pizzazz ink) on a heart as proof.
I used a Be Mine Stitched die to cut the heart from Botanical Butterfly DSP, and a second heart from Thick Very Vanilla cardstock for the trim around the heart.
Caramel said I should match the card base to the heart trim, so the card base is Thick Very Vanilla.
For the background, I chose a piece of striped, Subtles 6X6 DSP, which I ran through the Big Shot with the Subtle Textured embossing folder. The Be Mine Stitched die set provided the long, narrow, die to add scalloping to the sides, matching the heart trim.
I really like that they are sitting together so nicely. Not being sure what would happen when the delivery man brought Goldie to the door, I love that they chose to be “friends forever.”

Su, what a wonderful way to kick off your GD with the Paper Players. I love the duo of doggies against that striped background. I also love the additional interest you added with the scalloped edges. Fabulous card

Hi Su! So glad to have you with us this year over at The Paper Players! I just love how you paired up the punches and the sentiment couldn’t be more perfect. Such a sweet card, all around.
Super cute! I love your furry friends, but I really love how you used the dies….they are a wonderful addition to a stamper’s collection! So happy you’re part of our team for 2019, too!
This is really cute! I love the punches you used!
Adorable, Su! What a great way to use both punches! I love the texture! Welcome to the The Paper Players. We are blessed to have you join us this year.
I just love this pair of forever friends Su – they look like they were made for each other! Using the woodgrain paper gives them a wonderful colour and sheen and I love the leafy green heart behind them. So happy to have you join us over at The Paper Players this year – a warm welcome from me to you, we are going to have fun!
So happy to see that cat has a friend now! I love how you’ve personalized the punches. I’m sure they have a wonderful time at your house and in your craft room!
Your card is so adorable! I love the subtle texture you added to the background!
