Today's blog is for Crazy Challenge Insta-Hop #crazychallenge18


For this challenge, we are tasked with creating a card using Blackberry Bliss and Smoky Slate.  I actually quite like this colour combination.



This month, I decided to make #crazychallenge18 our Team Challenge for the Purple Stampers Team


For this challenge, I decided to CASE a card from page Page 104 of the Annual Catalogue.



I used Blackberry Bliss ink to stamp the images, then coloured on the white cardstock using the Blackberry Bliss and Smoky Slate blends.

I topped it off with some Wink of Stella and the Festive Pearls.  The Festive Pearls are still currently available to purchase online.

You can check out the items used in the Product List at the end of this post.

With the Annual Catalogue and the Mini Catalogue soon retiring, instead of having two #crazychallenges in April 2023, we have decided to have a #30daycrazyfarewellchallenge

What is this?

Each day in April 2023, we will load a daily challenge to our Instagram page.  We know not all the products in the Catalogues will be retiring on 4 May 2023, but we wanted to get out there and showcase what is currently available before the refresh happens!

To take part, all you have to do is make a creation based on your interpretation of our challenge.  You can participate in as many of the challenges as you like - and it doesn't matter if you don't load your card on the day of the challenge - just state which day's challenge it is and use #30daycrazyfarewellchallenge in your comments

You don't have to be a demonstrator to participate in the  #30daycrazyfarewellchallenge, but we do ask that you only use Stampin' Up! products in your creation.

The schedule is set out in the images below:





The daily challenges will be uploaded to my Instagram throughout April 2023 - click here to follow me on Instagram and join in the fun!  You can participate in as many of the daily challenges as you like - all you have to do is use the hashtag #30daycrazyfarewellchallenge and state which day's challenge you are doing.

Unable to participate?  Just search the hashtag to see the amazing creations from all the participants!

30 days = 30 challenges = 30 cards!

I'll be so busy creating in April that I won't be able to list all the products used in each challenge.

In the meantime, Just Keep Smiling...

Today's blog is for Crazy Challenge Insta-Hop #crazychallenge17


For this challenge, we are tasked with creating a card using the Simply Succulents Stamp Set along with Happy Forest Friends DSP.



After flicking the current Annual Catalogue, I decided to CASE one of the cards on page 44.  I was quite happy with the end result:

For this month's Customer Thank You cards, I also decided to use the colours from this week's Creative Colour Challenge - Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry and Pale Papaya.



It took a while for me to decide what to do... but eventually I decided to use the Rays of Light Stamp Set with some clear embossing powder, on a blended background of the three challenge colours.


I used the Framed Florets Stamp Set for my sentiment.  I topped everything off with some Opal Rounds (but no Wink of Stella this time!)

Scroll on down to see the products I used for this project.


Until next time...

Just Keep Smiling...
