SUO Challenge 193: Hearts a Plenty!

Our Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge this time will encompass the weeks just before a really big holiday for making and sending cards: Valentine’s Day! But many other occasions cry out for the use of hearts in greeting cards. So whether you’d like to make a card or other project that celebrates Valentine’s Day, a wedding, a shower or just a simple, “I love you,” we’d love to have you share it with us as part of our early February Challenge.

Here are our Design Team’s projects, and we hope they will inspire you as you create your project for the challenge.

PLEASE remember this: We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER January 29, 2018.

Dates to Add Links: January 30, 2018 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –

SUO Challenge 192: Fun With Just One Color!

With the holidays far behind us, and the New Year well underway, it’s time to get back to some fun themes for our papercrafting creations. To get things started on a simple note (single note?), we’d like to challenge you to create a card or other paper-crafted project with just one color. But you can think broad strokes of color, of course! Think Red, Blue, Green, Orange – just something that doesn’t go outside of your chosen color’s area. As with other such challenges, neutral “colors” (think the Stampin’ Up! Neutrals) are just fine.

Here are our Design Team’s projects, and we hope they will inspire you as you create your project for the challenge.

SUO Challenge 191: Brrr! Baby It’s Cold Outside!

Happy New Year! We’ve just finished with the 2017 Winter Holiday Season. But here in the Northern Hemisphere, winter has just started in earnest. Just ask all of those on the USA Mainland who are dealing with winter storms this week! Brrr! So whether your weather is just cool or freezingly cold – or even if you’re just reading about it from some warmer location – create a card or other paper-crafted project (oooh, think Scrapbook Page!) this time that features something that you think of when it’s really cold outside.

Here are our Design Team’s projects, and we hope they will inspire you as you create your project for the challenge.

SUO Challenge #190, A Favorite Holiday Image!

Christmas will come right in the middle of this Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge. So, now that our Christmas  and other Holiday Cards are about to be done and over with for another year, please share with us what your favorite image of this Holiday season has been for you! This challenge goes into the New Year, so New Year’s Celebration Cards are more than welcome!

Here are our Design Team’s projects, and we hope they will inspire you as you create your project for the challenge.

A Special Note: Our next challenge will not be posted until Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018, to give our Design Team (and the challenge coordinator!) some days off during the New Year’s Holiday Weekend. The Top 3 Post will be one day late also.
