Challenge #1

Posted in Cards, Soft Summer by Chris

This first challenge is to grab your catalogue, either the Spring Mini or the Idea Book and Catalogue, find a card that you like and turn it pink! Use any pinks you want and you can substitute stamps if you want to. I used the card on Page 22 of the Spring Mini Catalogue, change the stamp and few other bits and pieces and here is what I came up with.
I also wanted to add my own challenge, which is to use some stamps and accessories which I haven’t used a lot. So here is my first card for this challenge:

Stamp Set: Soft Summer

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red.

Inks: Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Sage Shadow.

Accessories: Button Latte, Pink Pirouette Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Mat Pack and Piercing Tool, Word Window Punch.

Stay tuned for the next Challenge!

Tonight’s Cyberstamp

Posted in Uncategorized by Chris

For those of you who haven’t taken part in a Cyberstamp before, I highly recommend that you give it a try. They are always heaps of fun, and a great way to get some new ideas and inspiration.
This evening is also to raise funds for the Cancer Council through Girls Night In.
This particular Cyberstamp is being run by a fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, whose work and ideas I think you will enjoy, Jayne Mercer. All you need to do to take part is just pop on over to Jayne’s blog, where she is posting four different challenges throughout the night. And if you don’t want to take part in the stamping fun, but would like to make a donation to Jayne’s Girls Night In, the details on how to do that are there too. Just click here to join in! http://www.jaynemercer.com/blogs/index.php
The first challenge is already up, so lets get stamping! 🙂
I will also be posting my own entries to the challenges here for you to see.
Have a great evening.
