Challenge #309 - Cozy

We have a couple of cozy, warm colours for you to play with this time, and along with white and a neutral, they will make you want to curl up under a down comforter! There are many ways these colours could be used! We're excited to see what you do with them!

Each time we have a colour challenge, the Featured Artist will have a chance to become a Guest Designer for our next Recipe Challenge 4 weeks from now. So enter with that in mind! We're so excited to work with you for a challenge!!

Remember, if you don't have the Stampin' Up! colours, use the colours you have that are the closest. Your project should use all these colours only and 1 neutral of your choice. 

How did the Design Team use these colours this week?

Winners for Challenge # 308

Our sketch challenges aim to give you a framework to enhance your creativity! We love seeing what you do with each element of the sketch and how creatively you fill the requirements of the challenge! This week, we had some lovely designs, with lots of fall gorgeousness!

Let me introduce you to our winners! Here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Lee Ann Barrett

You might want to check out the beautiful watercolouring and fussing cutting of Lee Ann's floral image in this beautiful card! It's masterful!! She also created a great background using orange colour burst powder and that slip of sheet music just suits the sentiment so well! What a vibrantly crafted card! Congratulations!

Our Featured Artist is: Maggie H.

Maggie's stenciled fall florals have created such a warm and welcoming bouquet. There's just something about stenciled images that you can't recreate with stamps! The Design Team loved that she paired the die-cut bouquet with the earthy plaid background paper, and that the vertical rectangle element of the sketch was full of texture for added interest! The bold die cut gold sentiment was a perfect addition which paired beautifully with the gold embossed on black. This was a real WOW!! card, Maggie! Congratulations for being chosen Featured Artist and ultimate winner of this challenge!

Challenge #308 - Playing with Polygons

The sketch for Challenge #308, designed by Team Member Heather H., makes use of many 4 sided polygons (shapes, if you don't want to dredge up your geometry days)! Enjoy it, play with those polygons and get creative!

Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch, just keep the integrity of it, so we can recognize it. 

And what did the Design Team do with their polygons? Check out their projects:

Winners for Challenge #307 - Hasty Hobbies

What fun it was to read your posts about all your different hobbies! So much fun! Nobody claimed Speed Stamping as a hobby though. I wonder why??

Now on to our winners for this challenge! 

Our Top Pick is: Suzy Hinton

Suzy just nailed this speed challenge in the most adorable way possible! She used the fortunate die/DSP match to die cut that whimsical knitting llama to use for her focal point, saving big time on stamping and colouring! It's perfect that the llama just happens to have the same hobby Suzy does! Then she prepared a lovely background: Lemon Lolly ink blended on the same colour cardstock with water and black ink splatters, a cute sentiment and some little blossoms of the same colour! Top pick!!

Our Featured Artist is: Erin T.

Erin's action-filled design directs the eye straight to the sentiment and leaves no doubt about what her speedy hobby is - skiing! And what she plans to do this Christmas! The Design Team just loved the snow flakes, the action figures and the whole configuration of her card. And Erin's time of 5 minutes and 57 seconds was one of the fastest times in the whole challenge! Even so, she managed to die cut the front panel with a stitched rectangle die! Congratulations, Erin, on being our Featured Artist!

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mention on her site:
