SUO Challenge 193: Hearts a Plenty!

Our Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge this time will encompass the weeks just before a really big holiday for making and sending cards: Valentine’s Day! But many other occasions cry out for the use of hearts in greeting cards. So whether you’d like to make a card or other project that celebrates Valentine’s Day, a wedding, a shower or just a simple, “I love you,” we’d love to have you share it with us as part of our early February Challenge.

Here are our Design Team’s projects, and we hope they will inspire you as you create your project for the challenge.

PLEASE remember this: We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER January 29, 2018.

Dates to Add Links: January 30, 2018 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –

SUO Challenge 192: Fun With Just One Color!

With the holidays far behind us, and the New Year well underway, it’s time to get back to some fun themes for our papercrafting creations. To get things started on a simple note (single note?), we’d like to challenge you to create a card or other paper-crafted project with just one color. But you can think broad strokes of color, of course! Think Red, Blue, Green, Orange – just something that doesn’t go outside of your chosen color’s area. As with other such challenges, neutral “colors” (think the Stampin’ Up! Neutrals) are just fine.

Here are our Design Team’s projects, and we hope they will inspire you as you create your project for the challenge.
