Holiday fun with Sunny Challenges

Hi Everyone,

Wow, I can’t believe 3 weeks have passed already!
My time as Guest Designer is whizzing past so very fast.

So is the time until Christmas is upon us!

This week at Sunny Challenges and Creations we are celebrating the Holiday Catalogue. ( I think I’ve been doing that for while anyways) but please do check out what the girls have made on the main blog. They really are a talented bunch!

I’ve put together a quick and easy card this week. I am actually in the middle of moving house, so it’s a little simpler than I’d normally like to do! Embossing folders and Framelits that match Stamps have really come to the fore here to give what is essentially just some coloured cardstocks a touch of luxurious texture. The Holiday Collection framelits and Scentsational Season stamp set are available as a “Bundle” which is a wonderful way to save some money!

This coffee cup is a lovely depiction of Hot Chocolate on a cold Winters’s day. If only our Winter and Christmas coincided in Australia, as it is – my coffee cup is likely to be filled with Ice Tea at Christmas time! lol The embossing folders used were Vintage Wallpaper, Perfect Polka Dots and the new Fancy Fan.

If you went mad in the Holiday Catalogue like I did, just admit it and show us what you’ve made using the Sketch Challenge at Sunny Challenges and Creations.

See you again next week for my final Challenge as
"Guest Designer"

Sunny Challenges and Creations!

Shaking it up at Sunny Challenges and Creations

Hello Again Everyone!

Hope you had some fun with Perfect Plum last week! I know I did! This week at Sunny Challenges and Creations we are Shaking it up with Shaker Cards for the Sketch Challenge.

Mine is surrounded in embossed tulips, aren’t they pretty!

I made mine a Christmas Shaker which, this close to Christmas, is a perfect excuse to use the Holiday Framelits is it not? Stampin’ Up has a wonderful new product too that makes Shaker Cards easy peasy to do! They are called Shaker Frames (page 177 of the Annual Catalogue if you can’t spot them). They are essentially a double sided foam tape circle frame in various sizes. 

The small one was perfect for the star in the Holiday Collection Framelits set.

It looked a little boring on it’s own, so lined each cut out with some designer paper from the Festival of Prints paper stack and hand cut the internal part before putting the window sheet behind it all.

The sentiment is from the Embellished Events Stamp set.

I look forward to seeing what you make with a shaker card so head on over to Sunny Challenges and Creations to get your entry in.
