Watercooler Wednesday Challenge - WWC130 - Gail's Feminine 'Anything Goes ' Challenge

Another Wednesday comes round quick and our challenge this week is Gail's Feminine Anything Goes Challenge.  It has been a while since I've stamped with the Beautiful You set so I thought it deserved another outing.

I've paired it here with some of the new Color Theory Designer Series Paper in Berry Burst.  The image of the girl is actually on the inside of the card as I've shown below.  I've cut out the oval on the front of the card using the Stitched Framelits and when closed the image pops through.

 

 I used the new In-Colours for the background of Berry Burst, Fresh Fig and Powder Pink and then stamped the woman on top in Basic Black.

A touch of our new gorgeous Shimmery Powder Pink Ribbon finishes off the card.

I look forward to seeing all your examples - do pop along to the rest of the Design Team and leave them a comment - we love to hear from you.

 HAPPY CRAFTING

 

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE - #126 - FIONA'S FEMININE 'ANYTHING GOES'

 It's Wednesday again and that means Wednesday Watercooler challenge.  Have you noticed our new banner?  How cool is that?  This week is another challenge which I am hosting - Fiona's Feminine Challenge.

I've used the gorgeous Floral Statements stamp set for my card - I hope you agree it is very feminine.  I adore this set - it is only two stamps but they are so beautiful in either Hellor or Thanks. I've used Pink Powder and Berry Burst Inks for the flowers and Pear Pizazz and a touch of Old Olive for the leaves.  The background paper is from our new DSP Color Theory which I adore.  A touch of our new Powder Pink shimmer ribbon and some Glitter Enamel Dots adds a bit of bling.  The friend sentiment comes from Jar of Love and I've used the Stitched Framelits to layer it.

I hope you'll come and join in with our challenge this week - I'm looking forward to seeing all your lovely feminine cards.  Just click on the banner above to be taken to the challenge blog.

Happy Crafting

 

JOY OF SETS CHALLENGE BLOG - #JOS001 - THE LETTER 'F'

Back in March I started a Facebook Group called the Joy of Sets.  My intention was a place where people could showcase the lovely stamp sets of Stampin' Up! through the years be they current or retired.

I was overwhelmed with how popular this page became and, at the time of writing this, in just a few short months I have nearly 2,500 members.

I decided, in my madness, that it might be a good idea to take Joy of Sets out on the road so to speak so I've set up a Challenge Blog.  With the help of six very talented ladies as my first Design Team members we have started the Challenge Blog today, 4th July.  It will run fortnightly on a Tuesday.

The Challenge Blog is all about Stampin' Up! sets and each Challenge we will choose a letter of the alphabet.  The SU stamp set used must include that letter either in its first name or its second.  Full details are on the challenge blog.

With that in mind, our first challenge was the letter 'F' - no surprises there then.

I chose to use Foxy Friends as my set - actually using double 'F'!

I used some of the new Color Theory Designer Series Paper in the gorgeous Berry Burst and continued the colours through to the cardstock.  My foxy friend is actually a cat lol!  The sentiment is from Pretty Kitty.  I used the Stitched Framelits for the layering.  A touch of Glitter Enamel Dots and our new gorgeous Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon finishes off my card.

To join in with  the challenge and see what the other Design Team members have made for inspiration click on the image below.

We hope to see you join in with our very first challenge.  The winner of the challenge gets the chance to be a Guest Designer for us.
