SUO Challenge #135 – Fall Fun

11 / 10 / 1511 / 10 / 15

Fall is such a great time for greeting cards, especially with the lovely Stampin’ Up! stamps and papers that are released each year with the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. Your challenge this time is to make any kind of a greeting card or other project showing off fun Stampin’ Up! designs for the Fall Season.

To get you started on thinking about Fall Fun Cards, our Design Team has come up with a lovely assortment of cards. We look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge.

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 November 9, 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: November 10, 2015 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –

November 21st, 2015 (6 am USA Eastern Time)

SUO Challenge #134 – Thank You Very Much!

10 / 27 / 1510 / 26 / 15

As we complete our 5th year of SUO Challenges and embark on our 6th, it’s certainly appropriate to thank each and every one of you who has participated in our challenges. What fun this time has been! Now that you’ve been thanked, how about it if you thank someone else as we get into the 2015 Holiday Season in earnest. Your challenge this time is to make a Thank You card – or gift! – that you would send to someone special.

To get you started on thinking about Thank You Cards, our Design Team has come up with a lovely assortment of cards. We hope you enjoy our Thank You to you, and that you will share in this by entering the challenge.
