As You See It 197 - Design Team Card

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It! This week, we have a great sketch for you. I'm sure you'll see the many possibilities. If you visit the As You See It blog, you'll see the super examples that the rest of the ream have done.


As this challenge begins, it's the final few days of Sale-a-bration - your chance to earn fabulous freebies with qualifying orders, which is a great way to make your crafting money go further. So my card uses a number of Sale-a-bration freebies: The Botanical Butterflies DSP, the organdy ribbon combo pack and the Butterfly Elements embellishments.


In fact, I got so carried away with the sketch that I made a whole set of cards using the design. The SAB ribbon pack has five colours in it, so I made one of each colour.


I've CAS-ed an idea from the ever-amazing Paula Dobson. She made some cards where she coloured in the negative space on the black and white butterfly paper. This was an idea I completely loved and have used for these cards. The Stampin' Blends make this so very easy.


The sentiments come from Itty Bitty Birthday and, for the thank you, from Detailed with Love.
The lacy edge is from the Doily Builder thinlit set, a real honey of a set which is set to sell out soon so if you want some - get in quick!

You can play along with us until Wednesday 10 April, 11.55 p.m. PST. We'd love to see what you do with the sketch!

If you live anywhere in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I'd love to be yours and to  help you with ideas and Stampin' Up products. Please message me through my Facebook page, linked in the sidebar of this blog or leave a comment below.

The Paper Players 402 - Design Team Card

What a whirlwind it's been at The Paper Players over the last month. First we had our stupendous two week long 400th challenge celebrations. So many glorious entries! Did you go back and check the post on 18 July to see whether you'd picked up any prizes? Check to make sure because if you don't claim it, it will go to someone else....

Then this last week the Linky gremlins struck us and for some of the week, people couldn't link up. Once it was fixed, we extended the deadline by 24 hours and we hope that if you wanted to enter Joanne's super colour challenge that you did get the chance. We're very sorry if you did miss out last week but here's hoping it's plain sailing this week.

It's CAS week this week - Clean and Simple - paired up with a challenge from Nance to use negative space on your card.


That's quite a challenge since to use negative space you're already pretty much committed to at least one layer but you can still preserve lots of white space in the design. At least, that's what I hope I achieved with this...


Isn't that balloon die from Up and Away thinlits just fabulous?


Inspiration for this card also came from the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.


We'd love to have you join us at The Paper Players this week - and fingers crossed there are no more computer gremlins in our way! Pop over and see what the rest of the team have come up with then get your mojo going and join in.

Here's a quick reminder of the challenge rules.
  1. Create a new paper project.
  2. Upload your project to your blog with a link back to The Paper Players.
  3. Provide a direct link to your blog post for your challenge entry.

  5. Enjoy!
Please take note of these few rules as entries that do not comply will be deleted from the gallery.
