Happy, Sunday!
It’s time for another new Challenge with the Paper Players. Our amazing Ann has a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge this week. Choose a row in the grid below horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Follow the instructions in your choice and create something fabulous to link up with us.
I decided to follow the diagonal criteria in the grid – a die cut, patterned paper and foil.
Here’s How I Did It
- I cut a piece of the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper for my card layer and background. The patterned paper is full of silver foil snowflakes.
- The two die cut “snow hills” are cut using my Curvy Dies
- .With a Blending Brush and Basic Gray ink, I added some shading to the snow hills.
- The white vellum pine trees are die cuts from the recent Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit. They added some subtle dimension to my winter scene.
- They’re attached with Mini Glue Dots at the base which I tucked under the snow hill.
- The birdhouse and cardinal are from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. I shaded the birdhouse and cardinal with Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut them.
- The “peaceful” sentiment is from the Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit. The font and sentiment work well with this peaceful winter scene.
So, pull out some great patterned paper, add some foil and a die cut or two and create something peaceful to link up with us over at the Paper Players.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

This is so pretty! Love the soft neutrals and touch of vellum!
Debbie, your card brought a tear to my eye. Every time I see a cardinal, I saw it is my Daddy visiting. This card is so peaceful and serene. Perfect in every way! Happy Halloween, My Firend!
One of my favorite of a long list of cards you have made this year, Debbie! Love the pop of red and yellow!
Such a peaceful and serene little scene, Deb and the little bird is the perfect finishing touch. What a great use of that fabulous DSP and the trees do add dimension without taking away for the gorgeous detail of the paper. Fabulous card

Absolutely stunning, Debbie! It is such a serene card. I love the “pop” of color with the cardinal and the birdhouse. It definitely exudes peace and calming, and the sentiment is so appropriate. Thank you for making my challenge shine this week. Have a wonderful week!
I love this peaceful scene Debbie! The pop of color on the bird and birdhouse against the peaceful neutrals is gorgeous! It also makes me think I should get out my bird feeders! Have a lovely week!
This is sooooooo pretty! Soft, subtle and beautiful! I love how you made your trees and put the birdhouse and bird in the foreground! Lovely!
Beautiful scene, so peaceful and pretty! Love it!
This is so pretty Deb! I love those soft vellum trees and the pop of red from the bird and the spot of colour on the bird house too. A wonderful winter scene!
Such a beautiful and serene scene, Debbie! Love the soft vellum trees and I just love the tiny pop of color from the bird and his house. So pretty!
