SUO Challenge 191: Brrr! Baby It’s Cold Outside!

1 / 3 / 181 / 2 / 18

Happy New Year! We’ve just finished with the 2017 Winter Holiday Season. But here in the Northern Hemisphere, winter has just started in earnest. Just ask all of those on the USA Mainland who are dealing with winter storms this week! Brrr! So whether your weather is just cool or freezingly cold – or even if you’re just reading about it from some warmer location – create a card or other paper-crafted project (oooh, think Scrapbook Page!) this time that features something that you think of when it’s really cold outside.

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

SUO Challenge #184: Shape Up!

9 / 26 / 179 / 26 / 17

No, we’re not going to give you a challenge that has to do with exercise! What we would like for this Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge is for you to make and share with us a project that uses your favorite Stampin’ Up! Punches or Dies – or both, if you’re so inclined!

Here are the projects from our Design Team. I hope they will inspire you to get out YOUR Autumn Colors!

SUO Challenges 182: A Blast From the Past – and Blog Candy!

8 / 29 / 178 / 29 / 17

It’s our 7th Anniversary! This fun occasion is a great excuse to look back over the past 7 years of SUO Challenges and Stampin’ Up! in general and celebrate something fun from the past. Our challenge this time is to create a project with the theme, A Blast From the Past. That can be whatever you want it to be, and I’m sure you’ll have fun posting about this on your blog or wherever you show off your projects. For our Design Team members, we suggested an old project with new products; a new project with old products, or even a reprise of something they’ve made for the SUO Challenge blog in the past. Just have fun with it.

Speaking of our Design Team: In looking back over the 7 years of SUO Challenge posts, I discovered that the fabulous Karen Barber has been a team member from the very start. I can’t imagine this team without her, and now I know why. Thanks for all the years of great projects, Karen!

Now onto the challenge with contributions from our current Design Team. I’m sure you’ll want to know the story behind each of these “Blast From the Past” projects, so be sure to click on their names below their projects to go to their blogs to find out the story! Oh – and there’s blog candy this time for our Top 3. A party has to have gifts! We’ll send each of our Top 3 for this challenge a brand new pack of Delicate White Doilies from Stampin’ Up! and a handmade card to go with it.

SUO Challenge #180 – Happy Birthday!

8 / 1 / 178 / 11 / 17

I do hope that someone who is reading this happens to have a birthday today! Because you can enjoy the, “Happy Birthday,” in these cards more than most!

But whether it’s your birthday or not, I’m sure that sometime in the not too distant future someone you know will have a birthday. Then you’ll want to send one of your best handmade Birthday Cards or a special handmade gift. Your challenge this time is to feature a birthday card (or gift!) that you would like to send to someone special.

Here are the projects our Design Team made for this challenge. Click on their names under the photos of their projects to find out more about them. I hope they inspire you to make your own and share them with us! BUT BEFORE YOU SHARE – Please review our guidelines over at the left. If you have any questions, please Contact Us.
