Creative Collab Crew Week 10 Color Challenge

3/16/2025

This week's Creative Collab Crew challenge was a color challenge. We picked Blueberry Bushel, Petunia Pop and Old Olive. I have to admit it was a little hard at first although I don't know why! Once I came up with an idea I think they worked great together.

Here is my card! I chose to use the new You Are Remarkable stamp set that is an Online Exclusive. It's such a pretty set.

If you want to see a LOT of great projects with this color combo don't miss our guest collaborators on Instagram! We just got back from our national convention and asked a few of our friends to create a card with our color challenge.

Don't miss Melissa and Kathy's projects!

Creative Collab Crew Week 8 Masking Technique Challenge

2/27/2025

Welcome back to week 8 of the Creative Collab Crew! This week is a technique challenge. We chose masking and we each had a different take on the idea. I used Decorative Masks and Kathy and Melissa each used masking paper but in different ways.

Here is my card! I used the new Linked Together Decorative Masks to add a background to my card base. There are five separate masks in this set but I only used three of them. I paired it with the Seaside Wishes bundle including the hybrid embossing folder.

Here is my step by step video walking you through how I use the Decorative Masks with blending brushes. I love these masks! Be sure to check out the others we have as well.

If you like PDFs here you go! This includes the measurements.

Creative Collab Crew Week 7 Sketch Challenge

2/20/2025

Thanks for joining us for Week 7 of the our Creative Collab Crew Challenges. This week is another sketch challenge and I have had so much fun creating with this design.

This was my first card I created for this challenge. I used the new Everyday Skies paper and the Everyday Arches.

My measurements for this card were three (3) strips cut 1 x 4 inches mounted on a piece of Basic White card stock cut to 4 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches.

I wanted to try a few cards with the fun Mixed Media Designer Series Paper. I can't decide which I like better!

This card is one I made a few months ago as one of the cards for my monthly card class. It's another take on the layout.

Don't miss my video with some tips and tricks.

Check out this reel with a lot of ideas! The best part of this sketch is how simple it is. You can create cards in minutes using beautiful papers!

Stampin' Up! Memorable Blooms Card Ideas

2/19/2025

Make sure you do not miss the Memorable Blooms bundle on page 50 of the mini catalog. The stamps are awesome for coloring and the dies have great details.

For this card I paired it with a piece of paper from the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper. I used Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive blends for my coloring. I love that we have twine in so many colors right now!

I am always in need of more birthday cards so I knew exactly what sentiment to pull out to complete this card.

For this card I paired it with another paper pattern from the Mixed Media pack and colored the image with Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight Blends.

Creative Collab Crew Week Six Color Challenge featuring Mixed Florals

2/12/2025

It's Week Six of our Creative Collab Crew challenges and this week is a color challenge featuring Smokey Slate, Pretty in Pink and Moody Mauve.

I decided to use the Mixed Florals, Mixed Labels and Everyday Arches bundles for this card. I colored the pretty flowers with my Blends. I added in Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam to finish off the coloring.

The Everyday Arches dies are so great for adding dimension and focal features to your cards. If you do not have these in your stash you need them! They are a great staple for shapes.

I wanted to create another card featuring this week's color challenge so I pulled out the new For the Books bundle. The die cut book in this bundle is SO cute!
