SUO Challenge #43 – Our Top 3!

     Thanks so much to all of you who joined in our challenge to say "Goodbye to the Occasions Mini Catalog."   Some of you, of course, aren't in the North American Mini Catalog zone, so you featured stamps from other catalogs, which is just fine.  We're nothing if not flexible here at Stampin' Up! Only (except we're not flexible when it comes to our "Stampin' Up! ONLY rule; we tend to dig our heels in on that!) 

     As always, so many great projects and so many of you received mention as we determined our Top 3 this week.  So on to our congratulations for projects well done to::

Diane Vander Galien.   Oh, my!  How soft are those watercolored colors, and how beautifully layered is the card!!  This is such an elegant card, and shows off so many wonderful techniques and products that it's hard to focus on any one as the "star" of the card.   If nothing else, all the texture just made us say, "Wow, what a pretty card!"

 

 

 

Trish Giesbrecht.  This card has so many elements that are just perfectly placed on it!  The embossing with the Labels Framelits is a perfect frame for those two little flowers.  Again, a very soft and pretty card!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Susan Rowe.  This is not just a card – it's a whole suite of projects that makes a perfect gift package!  Susan's in Australia, so is using the delicious Spice Cake paper to which we up north said, "Goodbye" back in January.  So nice to see it again in such a fab project!

SUO Challenge 35 – Our Top 3!

Punchy it was indeed around the Stampin' Up! Only Challenges Blog these past two weeks!  What a great collection of marvelous ideas for using punches, especially the new builder and layer punches –  this challenge created!  Thank to you to everyone! 

Because there were such super entries, the Design Team had a bit of a challenge itself to pick our Top 3.  In fact, almost half of the entries received votes for the Top 3 – you all should be very proud of your projects, and we look forward to seeing more projects from all of you in the weeks and months to come! 

But, as always, we DO pick a Top 3 and here are those for the "Feeling Punchy" Challenge.  If you want to read more about each artist, just click on the picture of her project.

Robbie's CardRobbie Rubala, with her super cute Airplane Card!  Look at all the different ways she used punches- the clouds in the sky especially caught our attention, along with the way Robbie used the Doily Triple Layer punch for the tree tops.  This really is Punch ART – from a true artist!

 

Beth's Punch ArtBeth Rush with her drop dead cute lion made with the Owl Builder Punch.  That face really does look like a cat (cute cat!), but you know you're dealing with a lion with the wonderful pleated "mane" behind that cute face.  One of our Design Team said this, "Makes me roaring to punch one myself!" 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connie Babbert, a well-known "Queen of Creative Christmas Trees," who wowed us with this tree made from petals from the Blossoms Builder Punch.
