Christi's Creative Crew: Weekly Challenge

This last week's team challenge was called a RETRO Challenge

It was inspired by the garage sale that our team had, selling our retired product.

It was a very successful sale if I do say myself!

This is the card that I shared with them - I used GREAT SPORT Stamp Set along with the star stamp from BETTER TOGETHER. The STITCHED STARS Dies are still current and I added the MVP using PLAYFUL ALPHABETS and our new FOAM ADHESIVE STRIPS. The "birthday" is from WELL WRITTEN.

The first card came in from Bonnie - she used TEA SHOPPE Stamp Set, and used Sugarplum card stock - also a retired color. It matched well with the Rococo Rose Ribbon. I'm so thankful that my team is sending out their cards to their friends and family.

INSIDE:

The next card to come in is from Barb. Barb used the SUMMER SILHOUETTE Stamp Set. Her colors are Night of Navy, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz. - so pretty!

Our next card is from Lynda - she said that she made this for a friend and that she couldn't "bear" to get rid of it. (I'm keeping mine too!!) - so cute!

Our next card is from Vicki - she said that the stamp set is called Wonderful Wings from 2001 - now that's a retro set!!

And she used watercolor pencils & wink of stella to color in the butteries.

Linda K said that the stamp set "And Many Mower" is an all-time favorite set

Pam used the stamp set Polar Pals - a set from 2005

Karen used the stamp set WETLANDS - it is one of my favorites too

Inez said that this is one of the first SU sets that she ever bought. It's dated 1998

Anna used the CUSTOM TEE Stamp Set with the colors Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight

Rachel used the stamp set HOLIDAY HOME

And Bonnie made this card special for her grandson.

This last card is from Debbie O. she used the BEST BAR CODES Stamp Set from 2007 and a label from a soup can

Such fun this past week making cards using some of our older sets

MORE GOOD NEWS!!

The New Embossing Tool is Here!

I have had my new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine for 3 weeks now

and I absolutely love it!

This new tool offers multiple die-cutting and embossing options that I know you will love. This Stampin' Up!-exclusive machine offers the highest quality and makes precise cuts and detailed embossed images every time.

You will also love how simple it is to store and how easily portable it is. It will make a great addition to any craft room. One of the best things is that it comes with all the tools needed to get started right away, making it easy for you to have a fantastic die-cutting and embossing experience right from the start.

Here are some simple facts that Stampin' Up tell us about the new machine:

The firm top handle allows for easy transport and leverage while in use.
The machine includes a solid, full surface impact foldout platform to support solid and stable performance.
Its high grip feet minimize sliding on surfaces.
It has a compact footprint for easy storage and transport.
Its platform is designed to naturally guide products into the rollers for a smooth user experience.
The ergonomic handle flows well and balances the perfect amount of rotation and pressure for precise cutting and detailed embossing results.
You are going to LOVE how smoothly and easily it cuts! AMAZING! And with the new specially designed flatter dies, they cut through like butter!

You may remember that originally, the magnetic plate was not going to be available till later this year. However, it is available TODAY! so you can add it to your Starter Kit!

I know you are probably also waiting on the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine. But that won't be available until later this year.

I will keep you posted on the progress of that tool.

If you do not want to take advantage of this great deal, but still would like to purchase the new cutting machine, here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me: Just remember if your order goes over $150.00 please do not use the hostess code as you will receive the 10% hostess rewards for yourself.

Now it a great time to grab those embossing folders and dies that you have been wanting but you were just waiting for this new machine to become available
