I caught the tail end of a Stampin' Up! demonstrator Chat & Challenge this past week and really loved the card I created using the card map we were challenged with. For those of you who are new to my blog, a chat and challenge is an online chat room for Stampin' Up! demonstrators only. One member in the chat room shows us a card map and we chat online in the chat room while we work on creating our own version of a card using that map. It's a fun way to connect with demonstrators around the US and Canada and see what creative ideas we all come up with during the hour we spend in the chat room.
Once the chat time is up, we upload our cards to a demonstrator-only art gallery for other demonstrators, who may have had other commitments during the chat room time, to see. I really love these challenges as I find I can instantly envision what I want to make once I see the card map. And I always love the card I end up creating.
Here's the card map for this week's challenge:
And here's the card I created following the map:
Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Birthday Card
Stamp set: Well Scripted
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic pad
Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Sending Love designer series paper
Accessories: Corner rounder punch, Wide Oval punch, Sweet Pea Stitched Felt, mini glue dots, 1 3/8" Circle punch
It may look like I have three strips of Sending Love designer series paper as layers on the card front, but I actually have two 1/4" strips of Chocolate Chip card stock adhered on top of one large layer of Sending Love paper. It's kind of an optical illusion.
What can you create using this card map? I challenge you to make a card this weekend following the map I used for my chat and challenge. Send me a photo by email as I'd love to see your creation. And don't forget you can order the supplies I used to make this card – contact me at: terri@nutzaboutstamping.com. Long distance orders welcome!
