SUO Challenge 103 – Geometrical – Our Top 3!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our challenge to feature fun Geometrical shapes in their projects.  Lots of fun favorites!

Thanks especially to our Top 3 whom we felt did the best job of capturing our theme for the week!  Click on the pictures of their projects to go to their blogs or galleries for more details.

 

Nancy Littrell.  Now what fun is that to have a triangle shaped card to perfectly accent those Christmas trees!?  Yes, we asked for Geometrical, but Nancy's card is over-the-top perfect for this challenge.  Nancy commented about making her colors brighter – but we all thought the colors she chose were perfect for this card!

 

 

 

 

 

Cindy Brumbaugh.  The triangles in Cindy's card add a perfect "native American" feel to the card with the feathers. We love not only the bright, festive colors, but also the black mats and Candy Dots that really make the whole card "pop."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helen H.  This card has a darling "sneak peek" at a new set of framelits in the Holiday Catalog. We love how Helen used one of them to make her arrows.  But if that wasn't geometrical enough, Helen added a cylindrical treat holder using the same design.  Wow, a 3-D geometrical shape!

SUO Challenge 102 – Favorite New Toys – Our Top 3!

We're a bit delayed in this particular Top 3 post – that you all for your patience!  And thanks to everyone who participated in our challenge to feature their favorite new Stampin' Up! "Toys" in their projects.  Lots of fun favorites!

Narelle Ferrugia.  What a great Blackberry Bliss and white base with the touch of Hello Honey.  A great combination, and beautifully accented with Narelle's favorite new Beautiful Bunch stamp and punch.

 

 

 

 

 

Michelle Long.  Doesn't this layout look familiar?  Yes, both Narelle and Michelle used the same online sketch challenge for their projects this week.  Michelle's project features her favorite new toy, the Typeset Designer Series Paper set, and she has used it her design so well, including in the rose bud which is her featured flower.

 

Julia Quinn.  Julia's project is the product of another online challenge – aren't challenges fun!!?! – and she decorated a favorite new toy, the Gift Card Enclosure, with a lovely belly band accented with another new set of toys, the Flower Patch stamp set with the coordinating Flower Fair framelits.  So much fun with all those new Stampin' Up! products!

Chris Slogar. The colors and layout of this card make it very flexible – it could be so many different kinds of cards!  We especially liked the way that Chris made the double ribbon trim to complement the card's overall design.

 

 

 

Julia Quinn.  The pretty, soft colors of this gift card holder are beautifully accented with the vellum and the two different kinds of ribbon tied into bows!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Laurie (Stamping Up North). This card is a beautifully done classic design with lovely colors accented perfectly with the ribbon and bow.

Heidi Weaver. Challenge #59, Fun or Unusual Folds.  Besides this delightful fold, Heidi's choice of color and stamps for this project make this a gorgeous card.

 

 

 

 

Nancy Littrell, Challenge. #25, Favorite New Stamp Set. We really enjoyed looking at all the details in this mixed media card.  We especially liked the rhinestone bling around the sun images to give them that extra sparkle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melissa Davies.  Challenge #25, Favorite New Stamp Set.  The crisp, clean and modern flair of this card definitely got our attention.  We love the white on white which really makes those colors pop.
