It’s Challenge Day at the Create with Connie & Julie – Occasions Edition class. Congratulations to last weeks winners – Sue and Lori. Our challenge this week is a sketch challenge. Here is a look at the sketch:
This week in class we are featuring the following products from the new Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog: Vintage Vogue stamp set, Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel, and from the Sale-A-Bration brochure the Vintage Labels SAB set. Class members are encouraged to participate in the challenges so you can win prizes each week! So get busy with this sketch challenge and then go to the class site and link your entry to the challenge post. Good Luck – I hope you win!
And here is my card for the sketch:
This card is a little bit different than a standard card – it is actually a mini card on a post card backing. So the piece that opens is the Chocolate Chip piece. Here is a photo from another angle:
And here is one of the inside:
Sometimes you only need a few words to say what you need to say so a small space is enough.
Stampin’ Up! Supplies used:
- More Mustard card stock and ink pad
- So Saffron card stock and ink pad and refill
- Chocolate Chip card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Vintage Vogue stamp set
- Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel
- Well Scripted stamp set
- Jumbo Handle, Jumbo ink cartridge
- Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon
- Linen Thread
- Chit Chat Rub-ons
- Earth Elements brads – More Mustard
- 5/16″ Jumbo Brads – Chocolate Chip
- Playground Designer buttons – More Mustard flower
- 1/16″ and 1/8″ handheld punches
- Mini Glue Dots
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
The large flowers are stamped using the Rock & Roll technique – ink first in So Saffron and then roll the edges in More Mustard ink. The small flowers are just stamped in More Mustard. All the flowers are cut out. For one large flower punch a hole in the center. Wrap the ribbon around the More Mustard card stock and pull both ends through the center of the flower – tie in a knot and trim the ends of the ribbon. Add the brads and buttons to the other flowers and add to the panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used a rub-on on the front of the card from the Chit Chat set in the regular catalog but there is a new set in the Occasions Mini called Chat Room. These rub-ons are such a great deal – you get about 200 greetings in each pack. Both of these sets have a variety of styles and sayings.
And here is a look at the rest of the Create team:
If you haven’t checked out the Create with Connie and Julie site yet now is the time to do it! We feature new Occasions Mini product every week. There is a new project posted every day and there will be a minimum of two fabulous tutorials each and every week. We like to have lots of fun so we have challenges and prizes for our subscribers. Our sites stay up long after the session is done so you will always have access to the site and the tutorials. For more information and to see our Preview Week projects please visit the Create with Connie and Julie site.
Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Stampin’!
