Each month, I challenge the members of my Stampin' Clubs to create a
project for a contest and submit it to me. I assign a theme for them
each month.
For April, I challenged them to create a project that used Designer Series Paper in some way. They could
create any kind of project they wanted. Products used didn't have to be
current, but they did have to be Stampin' Up!
The winner this month was Alayne Kerbert with this lovely card (the picture doesn't do it justice at all!):
Uses Bloomin' Marvelous Set (retired), Gumball Green Classic Stampin' Pad,
Raspberry Ripple Classic Stampin' Pad, Raspberry Ripple Card Stock, So Saffron
Card Stock, Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper (retired), Print Poetry Designer
Series Paper Stack, Fire Circle Rhinestone Brads (retired), Pearl Basic Jewels,
Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, 2-Way Glue Pen, Stamping Sponges,
Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Paper-Piercing Tool, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Blossom
Petals Builder Punch, Spring Flowers Punch (retired), Big Shot Die-Cutting
Machine, Multipurpose Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, and Framed Tulips
Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Alayne notes that she used the Paper-Piercing Tool and Stampin' Pierce Mat to mark where to make the cuts for the lattice braid.
Missy Gosson got second place with this fun cowboy shirt card:
Uses Pretty Petites Set (retired), Language of Friendship Set, and A Round Array
Set plus Midnight Muse Classic Stampin' Pad, Island Indigo Classic Stampin' Pad,
Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pad, Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad, Regals
Collection Stampin' Write Markers (Not Quite Navy), Neutrals Collection Stampin'
Write Markers (Chocolate Chip), Midnight Muse Card Stock, Crumb Cake Card Stock,
Whisper White Card Stock, White uni-ball Signo Gel Pen, Jet Black StazOn Ink
Pad, Silver Fox Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink (retired), Heat Tool, Clear Stampin'
Emboss Powder, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (retired), Early
Espresso Baker's Twine, 3/16" Neutrals Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL
Adhesive, Crystal Effects, Color Spritzer Tool, Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips,
Paper-Piercing Tool, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Bird Builder Punch, 7/8" Scallop
Circle Punch, Petite Curly Label Punch, Sew Mini, tissue, and paper bag.
To make the cord for the bolo tie, Missy dyed the Baker's Twine with StazOn
Ink and twisted and doubled it up. To make the denim pieces for the pants and
belt loops, she added Midnight Muse and Island Indigo Ink Pads direct-to-paper
on to Whisper White Card Stock. She used the Soft Suede and Crumb Cake Ink Pads
direct-to-paper on a piece of paper bag to make the belt. The head of the
peacock on the bolo tie closure is one of the leaves from the Language of
Friendship Set punched out and trimmed down. Missy stamped the belt buckle and
bolo tie closure in Island Indigo Ink and quickly sprinkled on Clear Embossing
Powder before heating. Then, she rubbed on the Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink and
buffed it off with a tissue.
Items listed in purple are most likely retiring because they
use a retiring color. If they do retire,
they will only be available while supplies last!
Alayne and Missy each get $5 off their next order. Congratulations, ladies, they are fabulous cards!
Look what I got in the mail the other day! It's a beautiful card with a handwritten note of congratulations on my $200,000 in career sales from the President and CEO of Stampin' Up!, Rich Jutkins. How cool is that?!

Spring flowers are starting to bloom so this set is perfect for this month! I hope you will enjoy my cards for today.
I think this first card is my favorite. I pressed the Baja Breeze Ink Pad directly onto the vanilla card stock to make the rectangular background. Our new firm-foam pads work great for this technique!

I love how this next one turned out too. The only problem is figuring out whether to give it to my mom or my mother-in-law! I brayered over the heart shaped doily with Pink Pirouette Ink and ruffled the ribbon by pulling a strand from the center of a cut end to make it gather.
