Christi's Creative Crew: Weekly Challenge

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.
