SUO Challenge 117, Cards for Teens – Our Top 3!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our challenge to feature a card made for a Teen. 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.

Joanne James.  Joanne made this card using My Digital Studio by Stampin' Up! to create the image of the skateboarder, which she cut with an e-cutter.  The way she used the black and silver ink to make spatters before adhering the image to the card set this image off perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tracey Vidal. We loved the use of the retired Sale-a-bration stamp set. This, along with the Gorgeous Grunge background and just the little spots of color in the button and Designer Series Paper make this a perfect card for a teen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mary Ann Rossiter (StampinMak). Mary Ann also used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set as a background for  her card.  The colors in the stamping resist Sale-a-bration paper from this year along with the coordinating balloon images bring this card together to make it special for a teen.

SUO Challenge #117 – Cards for Teens

For this challenge, we've decided to focus on a group of people for whom it's often really difficult to come up with a card design – Teens!  So your challenge is to make a card for a teenager.  There doesn't have to be a particular theme – it can be birthday, holiday, congratulations, or no theme in particular.  It just had to be something that would be appropriate for a teen.

Need some ideas to get your creativity started?  Then check out our Design Team projects – and have fun with your own project!

To participate in our challenge, make a card  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.

PLEASE remember this:  We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER February 23, 2015  This is a NEW challenge!  AND please mention/link to the SUO Challenge Blog in your 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:  February 24, 2015  (3 am USA Eastern Time) –
