Christi's Creative Crew: April 2019

More Color Challenges

Tuesday, April 30, 2019

Here is another one of the Color Challenges from my amazing Stampin' Up! team!!
Peggy's colors were Pool Party, Lovely Lipstick and Crushed Curry

These cards are so beautiful, Peggy!

Peggy used the Florentine Thinlits Die and made 2 versions.

Which one do you like best?

This second card was made by Chris. Chris used the NEEDLE & THREAD Stamp Set and Dies for her color challenge.

The colors that she picked from the "hat" were Blueberry Bushel, Rich Razzleberry, and Granny Apple Green

Dawn is super funny - she brought along her pieces she stamped to the meeting but had not put them together into a card yet, but when I asked for photos she finished her card and sent me the photos.

This next card was made by one of our newest team members, Brenda

Her colors were Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Garden Green (I think). Brenda even went one step above and added the little squares of card stock that she picked from the hat!! Very Cool!!

This fun fold card was made by Debbie, also fairly new to our team. She did use a non SU embossing folder, but I sure do love it! Her colors were Lovely Lipstick, Garden Green and Melon Mambo. The challenge was to use at least 2 of your 3 colors.

Janell's colors were Mango Medley, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. She also used the Doily Dies, sponging the colors onto them as well as the background paper. - gorgeous!

This is one of the cards that will be out at my COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY class tomorrow.

I CASED this card from Blue Paper Rose Treasures
Stamp Set used in BEAUTIFUL YOU and is being carried over to the Annual Catalog that comes out in June, BUT the GINGHAM GALA 6x6 Designer Paper is NOT being carried over, and it is definitely on the low inventory list.

Also used is the SCATTERED SEQUINS Embossing Folder which is also not the RETIRING LIST
as well as the METALLIC SEQUINS and the CALYPSO CORAL 3/8" SATIN RIBBON.

Happy First Birthday, Mercy!

Yesterday was Mercy's first birthday!
So hard to believe this little sweetheart is one year old already. She's a tiny thing, only weighing 16 + pounds. I thought my kids were tiny who were all only at 18# at one year.
She's quite the gal - full of antics! If ever I can't find her she is probably behind the couch!!

Mercy has been walking for about one week now. She thinks she is pretty hot-stuff!

She is the most smiley of Jeff's kids, and wants to keep up with her big brother and sister. She can climb a flight of stairs lickety-split and is pretty fearless. UNTIL she has to sleep in her own bed. Yeah - still working on that one. She can out last the best of us!!
This is the birthday card that I made her inspired by Debbie Henderson

Stamps: Hello Cupcake, Number of Years (both retired)
Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Whisper white, Gold Foil
INK: Flirty Flamingo, Soft Suede, Versa Mark
Fun Stuff: Lace Dynamic Embossing Folder, Layering Ovals Framelits, Gold Embossing Powder, Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle,

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER (minimum $50) during the month of April, you will receive one package of FACETED GEMS either CLEAR or GOLD

Paper Pumpkin Night

Friday, April 26, 2019

Last Night was our Paper Pumpkin Fun Night

I have 2 regular attenders but would love to see more join in.

First I will show you this cute alternative from the January Paper Pumpkin Kit

I used the majority of the kit making Valentine treats with Sawyer for his class mates

But this kit seriously had a TON of stuff in it.

Last night I worked on the newest April Paper Pumpkin Kit called Sentimental Rose. The stamp set included with the kit is considered a DistINKtive stamp that gives you life like stamping in one step.

The kit comes with instructions to and product to make 9 Note Card sized cards, but I wanted to make full sized cards. This one I stamped-off the flower using Flirty Flamingo Ink onto Thick Whisper White Card Stock.

All cards will get a stamped flower envelope to coordinate

I gave this one a Mint Macron Card base and instead of using the entire front of the script note card I cut it to 1" x 5 1/4 so I could use the rest on this next card. The flower, leaves and the Mother's Day greeting was stamped with the Gray Granite Ink that came in the kit.

This Z-Fold Card was a take on Debbie Henderson's Z-Fold card but I changed the orientation and made it a full size card, but I did love how she cut out the beautiful floral image using the STITCHED SHAPES FRAMELITS

These pinks with Basic Black are so stunning that I decided to do the same for this Note card front. I pulled out my retired TEENY TINY WISHES Stamp Set for the Happy Anniversary.

I know you cannot see it on these photos, but I spritzed each one with Champagne Shimmer Mist (that's been diluted with rubbing alcohol). Some extra leaves were stamped-off under and around the banner. A little hard to pick out but in person it really gives ore depth to the card.

SERIOUSLY!! Doesn't Paper Pumpkin look so much fun??!! And when we work on it together it is double the fun!!

Color Challenge

Thursday, April 25, 2019

At our March Team Meeting I issued a color challenge. 3 random colors were chosen by each person and challenged to create a card or project using at least 2 of the 3 colors chosen. We had nearly 100% participation!!
Because we held our team meeting at a restaurant I didn't get a chance to get photos of all the color challenges that the gals did - and BTW - they were fabulous!!
Here are a couple that were sent to me:

Anna's Colors were Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss & Basic Black. She said her colors felt like fall so she used the COLORFUL SEASONS Stamp set and Dies

Lynda wasn't able to come to the meeting but she did get her challenge done - it's gorgeous! Lynda also used the COLORFUL SEASONS DIES and the Polished Stone Technique that I featured at the March & April Card Clubs. Her colors were Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Garden Green.

The colors I picked from the "hat" were Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry and Flirty Flamingo
I decided to go with a treat instead of a card

Here I go again - using the darling bunny from FABLE FRIENDS!
I followed the instructions on this little basket from Dawn Griffiths
I'm so excited that this cute set is carried over from the Occasions Catalog to the Annual Catalog that will be released in June!!
GREAT NEWS!!
