SUO Challenge #159 – Holiday Papers!

10 / 11 / 1610 / 22 / 16

We are definitely in the Holiday Season now, with October being the month of Halloween and Canada’s Thanksgiving (already over!), Halloween is almost upon us, and the November USA Thanksgiving Day celebration is not all that far away. The good news for those of us who love Stampin’ Up! products is that Stampin’ Up! makes lots of fun Designer Series Papers that are great for the Holiday Season, no matter which holiday.

Your challenge for this time is to make a card featuring at least one of Stampin’ Up!’s holiday papers. Or, actually, any paper that works to make a great holiday card or other paper crafting project! 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 to get your creative thoughts flying!

SUO Challenge #158 – Thanks and Thanksgiving

9 / 27 / 169 / 27 / 16

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!

SUO Challenge #157 – All Kinds of Weather!

9 / 13 / 169 / 12 / 16

Around the world the seasons are changing. In the northern hemisphere, we’re headed into Autumn and in the southern hemisphere, heading into Spring. In either part of the globe, this is the time of year when you can have just about any kind of weather there is! So your challenge for mid-September is to make a card or any other paper-crafted project featuring any kind of weather (and one of our Design Team members even made an “under the weather” card!). 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.

Before I introduce the Design Team’s projects for this challenge, I would like to introduce the newest member of our team, Jason Loucks. Here is his very own introduction to all of us:

Born and raised in upstate New York, I currently reside in the state of Connecticut, where I live with my fur-baby, Lucky. I started card making when I joined Stampin’ Up! in the spring of 2012 but had to resign due to unforeseen circumstances, I have since rejoined and I’m enjoying every minute of it. When not working on my Stampin’ Up! business, I work for a local motorcycle apparel shop who has been in business for over 30 years. Though I don’t ride, I’ve enjoyed working for the company for over 6 years now.

In my free time, I like to relax and enjoy a good television show or movie on Netflix/Amazon. If I’m not watching the television, I can usually be found on my phone or computer, watching the latest crafty videos or spending too much time on Pinterest; it’s amazing how much time you spend on Pinterest and don’t even know it!

Welcome, Jason!

And now here are the projects from Jason and the rest of the Design Team!
