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.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our challenge to feature a project with a Valentine Wish! 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.

 

Michelle Long.  What a stunning card this is!  It's so much fun being taken back to the days when every Valentine had some lace on it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cindy Brumbaugh.  This is a beautifully made gift bag!  Everything about it coordinates so well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jenny Gauthier.  The black heart-dotted background just makes the bit of red in this card "pop."  And the hand stitching is just lovely!

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 January 26, 2015  This is a NEW challenge!  AND please mention/link to the SUO Challenge Blog in your post!

And, of course, your projects should 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!
