Around the World Challenge #26 - Buttons!

October 1st already... and time for another challenge! This month it's to use buttons on your card/project.

Here is the card I created for this challenge. I cut (with the Big Shot and Flower Fair Framelits) and punched some flowers from the front panel. I embossed the card base with the Decorative Dots embossing folder. My sentiment was stamped in black, and I threaded the buttons with White Baker's Twine and added them to the card base. The front panel is popped up with Dimensionals.

Around the World Challenge #20 - Colours!

It's July 1st and time for another Around the World Stampin' Up! Challenge! This  month, we're working with colour combinations, and the July 1st challenge features two of our new In Colours:

 Here's the card I created for this challenge:

It features the Choose Happiness and Dotty Angles stamp sets. I created a frame with the Deco Label Framelits, and the sentiment was cut with an Apothecary Accents framelit.

We'd love it if you played along with our challenge! All you have to do is create a card with these colours, post it online somewhere, and add it to the link on the challenge post! You can also see what the other team members have created with these colours on the challenge post.

Around the World Challenge #12

 This month we're working with sketches! This challenge is open until March 13th, and I hope you'll play along! You can add your link to the challenge blog here: Around the World Challenge #12. The design team has come up with a lot of beautiful samples to inspire you.

And here is the card I created for the sketch:

I used the Vivid Vases stamp and Happy Watercolor stamps. I also used the Banner Blast stamp set and Banner Punch. I added some pearls and Washi Tape to finish off the card.

Around the World Stampin' Challenge #10 - Colours!

I was recently invited to join the very talented team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators on the Around the World Stampin' Challenge blog, and this is the first card I've created for their challenges! There is a challenge at the beginning of each month and another in the middle of the month. This month, we are doing a colour challenge: Pink Pirouette, Raspberry Ripple, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla

Here is the card I created for this challenge:

I created a mask with torn Post-it notes to sponge and stamp between (one of my favourite easy techniques). I love the new Peaceful Petals stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue, and of course with Sale-a-bration starting last week, I had to use the sentiment stamp from See Ya Later. I stamped it twice, then cut "Birthday" by hand to create a banner to pop up over the sentiment stamped on the card.

I hope you'll play along with this challenge... here are the details:
