SUO Challenge #146 – All Kinds of Showers

Growing up in the United States, when April came around we would frequently hear, “April Showers Bring May Flowers.” Of course, April also brought lots of other kinds of showers, including Wedding Showers for late Spring and Summer weddings. And there are always Baby Showers to attend, too! Your challenge this time is to make a card or other paper-crafted project featuring whatever kind of shower comes to your mind this month!

Check out our Design Team’s projects for some great ideas. We look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge.

To participate in our challenge, make a card  or other paper-crafted project, using Stampin’ Up! products only, and post a photo of it to your blog or a gallery on the internet.  Then come back here and use our link tool at the bottom of this post to share the photo with us. If you are linking to a blog, please link to the specific post that contains your project.

PLEASE remember this:  We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER April 11, 2016.  This is a NEW challenge!  AND please mention/link to the SUO Challenge Blog in your post!   We’d really like it if you’d mention us early in your blog post!

Of course, your projects must be made with Stampin’ Up! products only.    The products may be those that are in current catalogs, or they may be retired products.  But (as our blog title says) SUO – Stampin’ Up! Only!  This means that products from other papercrafting, rubber stamp, die-making or other companies may not be included in your project or in any other project included in your blog post if Stampin’ Up! sells a like product.  For example, Stampin’ Up! does not sell sewing thread.  So use of sewing thread from another company is just fine.  Stampin’ Up! does sell the Sizzix Big Shot, so use of die-cuts, texture plates or other such products from another company is not fine.  If you have a question, please send an e-mail to our Coordinator, Robin Messenheimer, and she’ll be glad to answer it!

Challenge Dates:  April 12, 2016  (3 am USA Eastern Time) –

SUO Challenge #145, Cute Critters

As we get into Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, there is a lot of activity going on in the world of critters. Our domestic pets are spending a different amount of time outdoors, and wild critters are seen more or less, depending on where you live. But all the critters are cute in some way, and your challenge this time is to create a card or other project featuring cute critters.

Check out our Design Team’s projects for some great ideas. We look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge.

To participate in our challenge, make a card  or other paper-crafted project, using Stampin’ Up! products only, and post a photo of it to your blog or a gallery on the internet.  Then come back here and use our link tool at the bottom of this post to share the photo with us.
