  • 3 weeks of FABULOUS card ideas – 18 different sets (not including our two Preview sets). 
  • Each SET is presented with 4 cards…one based on the weekly sketch, one the designers choice then one simple and one 'stepped up' version of the same card…so 4 cards for EACH set – 72 EXCLUSIVE card ideas NOT SEEN ANYWHERE ELSE!
  • Each Saturday we will each do a small favor using the same set we use during the week as a bonus item.  These WILL be displayed publicly but only subscribers will see the cards!

AND…who are our designers?  Your favorites are on board!

Little Friends

 

SP13 Card Create Challenges-PREThis is the first time I've inked up this Little Friends set and I'm hooked!  I had such fun coloring these darling images.  So…with the sketch Mary and I used for our Preview Week…I gave my little boy card some distressed edges for a rough and tumble look!  My designer choice card is the Primrose Petals card.  It is SO sweet with the touch of vintage!  Finally my 'step-up' pair…I just love the little puppy untying the present!  Some extra layers and punched flowers add the fun!

 

You can find my Project Sheet to download with a closeup of each of the cards, measurements and directions over on Create with Connie and Mary!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Connie,  I like the idea of having 4 cards using the same stamp set.   Did I miss where you tell us what designer paper was used in the "step-up" pair?  It is really pretty.
