West Coast Creators Creative Challenge: Mother’s Day

5 / 1 / 195 / 7 / 19

Twice a month, our amazing West Coast Creators group participates in a creative challenge. This week, the theme is “Mother’s Day” which is so timely, as we get ready for the big event in May.

For the background, I used 3 different colours (Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz and Highland Heather) and sponged onto the Delightfully Detailed laser-cut paper. The card was decorated using the subtle embossing folder, ribbon and Stitched All Around stamps and dies.

West Coast Creators Creative Challenge: Card Sketch

4 / 16 / 195 / 7 / 19

Twice a month, our amazing West Coast Creators group participates in a creative challenge. This week, the theme is “Card Sketch” which is so fun to interpret. We can use any stamp, colour or embellishment, but to use the sketch as inspiration for the design.

For the background, I used Lemon Lime Twist designer paper, matted on Espresso cardstock. The card was decorated using the super cute Hedgehugs stamp set and finished off with a Gorgeous Grape ribbon. Pretty close to the sketch, right?

Creative Challenge Focus on Suites Using Stampin’ Up!

10 / 1 / 182 / 24 / 19

Get Inspired! This Week's Creative Challenge

Hey Folks! Twice a month, my amazing West Coast Creators group gets together for a creative challenge. We are faced with a challenge theme and share our creations. It’s absolutely amazing and inspiring to see what everyone comes up with. I’d like to share my projects with you. I hope that it will get you inspired to create too.

The Challenge

The Result

The holiday catty was just released so I couldn’t help but use this adorable Festive Farmhouse suite from Stampin’ Up for this challenge. This one stretched me creatively, as I wanted to try something different….a 3D project!

This is called a pop up box card. It folds and fits into a regular envelope but when opened, pops up into a cute box! All items are part of the Festive Farmhouse suite, including the stamp set, dies, card stock, designer paper, ribbon and button embellishments. What is so great about suites, is that every matches and looks fantastic, however you mix it up.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s creative challenge post. Please let me know if you have any feedback or want more information. Until next time, create with purpose!

The Challenge

The Result

I used the Rooted In Nature stamp set from Stampin’ Up to create this card. I masked (using Post It notes) off the white card stock to create a vertical banner. Filled in the vertical space using a blended sponged background, using Old Olive, Cajun Craze and So Saffron with sponge brayers. Stamped the tree and sentiment, using Black. Simple and easy!
