Christi's Creative Crew: Poppy Parade

Last weeks weekly team challenge was to make a card (or project) using a stamp set that they bought, but haven't used yet.
I'm sure we are not the only ones who buy a stamp set, and then there it sits, not getting any use.
This is the card that I shared with them.
Of course I have used the BACK ON YOUR FEET Stamp Set a lot, but I have never used my SWIRLY FRAMES Stamp Set so I thought that I would pair the two together.

I had to use the "mirror image" technique to make the giraffes face in opposite direction.

Here are the cards that my team came up with...

Lynda used a Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set from a couple years ago called Very Vintage. She teamed it up with the HANDWRITTEN back ground stamp. She is wondering why she hasn't used this stamp set before. Handwritten Background stamp is on the retiring list so get it now before it is too late.

Next was Barb - she has been wanting to play with her BLOOM & GROW Stamp Set and decided to make 2 of them.

Carla made this next card using BLOSSOMING BASKET. She cannot believe she hasn't used this pretty set yet.

Brenda made this next card using TREEHOUSE ADVENTURE. She thinks that with 5 grandsons she will be using it a lot more.

Anna made this pretty card using COLORFUL SEASON, what a nice spring-feel card. She said that she likes the brown and pink color combo - me too!

Bonnie made her card using the WINDS OF CHANGE Stamp Set. She used

Seaside Spray ink with Watercolor Pencils.

Janell's card takes 3 photos to give it justice.

Take a look at this fun fold that doubles as a gift card holder

Rachel is a NEW TO US Demonstrator who re-signed up in March

FREE AS A BIRD is a fun stamp set for her because she

has two little birdies at home named Sundae and Sherbet.

She makes in bulk because she sends a lot of encouraging cards

Debbie A. used BIKE RIDE Stamp Set - a perfect set for Spring/Summer

I've actually been on my bike a few times this Spring, but I am a

fair-weather-friend and I pick and choose my days to enjoy being outside.

Debbie has done a great job selling her cards on line too.

Karen used MOUNTAIN AIR and said that she would have used this set earlier, but she had to purchase the larger clear block I. So if you are loving this set as much as I do you will want to add Clear Block I to your order.

This is Juli's first time to participate in our weekly challenge so this is extra special

She actually had to place an order from her hospital bed and

now that she is recovering she is able to participate

Such a fun-fold card. She used the Garden Lane Designer Paper

and POSITIVE THOUGHTS Stamp Set

This next one is from Inez

Inez used the MY MEADOW Stamp Set that we received free when we went to the

ONSTAGE event last November. It has a lot of little pieces, but the result is wonderful.

The card is from Jodie - I remember this elephant stamp set, but never purchased it, and I cannot remember the name of the set - but nice job, Jodie!

I love this cute card that Susan sent for our challenge using the DINO DAYS Stamp Set

Vicki sent in our last card for the week using SWEET STORYBOOK. She said that she used this set once before, and now wishes she had purchased the designer paper that coordinated with it. Let this be a lesson - get what you want NOW before it is too late.

Last weeks weekly challenge was to make a card with a corner book mark
Inez, one of the gals on my team sent me this gorgeous card

So Inez inspired our challenge last week

I sent them this one that I made

These are so super simple that I had 2 gals make up their cards the first day

Brenda said she dug out the old stuff - I encouraged them to use up some of their retired Designer Paper

Vicki was next with this card - or should I say "cards" - I told you these were easy!!

Next to come is from Lynda - Lynda got sneaky creative and made a corner bookmark and added it to one of the cards that we made at the Stampin' Up! OnStage Event last November.

Stamp Set is TIMELESS TULIPS

Carla made this next one with the NEW WONDERS Stamp Set. Wouldn't this be great for a little girl?

Anna made this card with a corner bookmark stating that she loves the Poppy Designer Paper

I do too, and I think I will miss it, but we always get new papers so that will be fun too

This next one was made by Shirley

I'm guessing the daisies are from Daisy Lane using the Medium Daisy Punch - so pretty!

Our next pretty card was made by Pam. Looks like she used her card for Mother's Day

Who wouldn't love getting a card with a pretty bookmark attached

This seascape card was made by Rachel - I love the little pearls on the sea floor,

like the clams spit them out for us to find!

This elegant card was made by Chris

She said she was using it for Mother's Day

Karen used her Paper Pumpkin kit to make her weekly challenge card, plus the words are from the Share Sunshine Download - it's full of fun phrases for going through this crazy Covid time. If you follow my blog post you will have seen some fun Covid-19 cards. If you missed it you can check it out HERE.

Talking about Paper Pumpkin - it is so popular that they already sold out of the May Kit.

You will want to get on board ASAP so that you do not miss out.

You can see some of the alternative cards thatI made with the April kit HERE

Inez made this next card - she is the one who inspired all of us to make this corner bookmark card

And then this next one is from Peggy

Peggy used the BEST CATCH stamp set.

She also sent in a catch-up card and shared this one from last weeks challenge to use a stamp set that is retiring. She chose to use ANIMAL OUTING

Susan sent in this card using the Stamp Set BLOOM & GROW - so very pretty

The last card to come in is from Barb and Barb changed up the fold on her bookmark

What book am I reading to use the bookmark that Inez sent me?

This book is super special to me

It is written by my name-sake about her Father and his escape from Czechoslovakia during the awful time of WWll, how he met his wife in Germany and how they immigrated to the USA. They are friends of our family ever since I was born. They actually arrived in MI the year before I was born.

Sadly, Lucy got a hold of my beautiful bookmark. Good thing that they are so easy to make.

Just use a 4" square of Designer Paper, fold one side to a point, then on the other side you have the option to make a decorative edge. On the front you will "seal" the triangle with whatever you use as a decoration.
