SUO #137, Cards and Gifts for Children!

12 / 8 / 1512 / 7 / 15

The holidays are definitely here! No matter where you are, there is an important fall or winter holiday coming within the next month. So that means all of use paper crafters will be in full gear making cards and gifts for the season. Your challenge this time is to make a card or gift for a young child.

To get you started with ideas, our Design Team has come up with a lovely assortment of cards. We look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge. And remember – it’s not just cards for this challenge! We’d love to see some ideas for gifts – Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or just plain winter holidays in general!

To participate in our challenge, make a card or other paper-crafted project 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 December 7, 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: December 8, 2015 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –

December 19, 2015 (6 am USA Eastern Time)
