Christi's Creative Crew: Weekly Challenge

Last week, I issued a challenge to my Stampin' Up! team to take this card (that I featured last week) and to make a card using this type of layout.

I made a second card to show them

I just couldn't wait for my ZANY ZEBRAS Stamp Set to arrive to make this card.

I stamped the words and punched out my 1-3/8" circles before I embossed it with the Embossing Folder.
Then I took one of the circles (re-punched it to a 1-1/4" circle) and embossed it with the TASTEFUL TEXTILE Embossing Folder.
I popped up the circle with a Stampin' Dimensional.
The Happy Birthday is stamped onto Bermuda Bay with Versa Mark Ink and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.
I enhanced the black stripes on the zebra using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker (#100082 - only $3.00).
After I completed this card I was wishing that I had put a little spring behind the Zebra to bring him to life.

Here are the cards that the gals on my team came up with last week

Barb made this super fun froggy card for our challenge using the SO HOPPY TOGETHER Stamp Set that we earned for FREE during Sale a Bration in 2019. Love those little froggies!!

Vicki used her new WHALE DONE Stamp Set for her card - so VERY cute!!

Janell used the JAR OF FLOWERS stamp set - so very pretty!!

and she made it in 2 different colors - which one do you like best?

Barb made a 2nd card because this is such a fun layout!! Aren't those Elephants cute - She apologized for it not being a Stampin' Up! set, but I think they are adorable and I would just rather everyone would be stamping!!

Linda K made this pretty floral card using BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS,

PEACEFUL MOMENTS and SOFT SPRING.

This one made me giggle! Lynda C made this one using one of our super

fun Sale a bration Sets HEY CHICK

Pam shared this darling PARTY PANDA'S card - so - so cute!!

This one was made by Karen - it is very similar to one I made with this same LADYBUG set

Debbie O sent this card. She took advantage of her FREE Sale a Bration products

Inez sent this one using the NOTHING'S BETTER THAN Stamp Set

On the inside she also used the challenge:

Rachel used the TIMELESS TROPICAL Stamp Set for her challenge card.

Makes me hungry for some sweet pineapple
