SUO Challenge #165 – New Year, New “Stuff”!

Happy New Year to All!

With a New Year in the Stampin’ Up! world, we’re always ready for some new Stampin’ Up! “stuff” to help us continue with our paper crafting fun. Our Design Team members are all demonstrators, and so all have had a chance to order from the Stampin’ Up! 2017 Occasions Catalog which goes live on January 4th. So they’re sharing their really new stuff with all of us today. If you have some new Stampin’ Up! products – whether they’re from the new catalogs (Sale-a-bration also starts January 4th) or just new to your crafting studio, we’d love you to share a photo of one of the projects you’ve made with it! That’s your challenge this time around.

Here are our Design Team members’ projects.. I hope they inspire you to make your own and share them with us! BUT BEFORE YOU SHARE – Please review our guidelines over at the left. If you have any questions, please Contact Us.

SUO Challenge #163 – Holiday Elegance

The Winter Holidays are not all that far away, but we here at SUO Challenges are pretty sure that we’re all still working on Cards, Tags, and Gifts of all kinds. For our last challenge, we asked you to share projects that were cute. Your challenge this time is to make and share with us here at SUO Challenges a Holiday design that you consider “Elegant.”

Here are our Design Team members’ Holiday Elegance projects. I hope they inspire you to make your own and share them with us!

SUO Challenge #158 – Thanks and Thanksgiving

Fall is finally here for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere! And in North America, we’re getting close to the time when Canada and the United States celebrate  Thanksgiving.  Many of us send greeting cards or make fun table decorations for this holiday. So a challenge to make a Thanksgiving card or decoration is the first part of this challenge. But for those of you who would rather simply make a card or other project that expresses, “Thanks,” we’d love to see your projects, too. Make any kind of project you’d like, post it online, and link to our link tool at the bottom of this post to post a thumbnail of your project here.

And now here are the projects from the Design Team!
