Thursday Throwdown

Here's something new…THURSDAY THROWDOWN! I've teamed up with my good friends Dena Rekow and Barb Mullikin to provide stamping fun, encouragement and challenges for our teams of demonstrators. Thursdays we will be offering up a challenge…and this Thursday the challenge is to CASE the catalog. CASE stands for COPY AND SHARE EVERYTHING. Barb's challenge is on page 24 of the big catalog – we are challenged to use the layout of this card and make our own. I had so much fun with this challenge and I think I did pretty good…what do you think?

CHALLENGE CARD from page 24:

My cards using the same layout:

If you'd like to CHALLENGE yourself with this layout – make a card or two and email (kelly@AStampAbove.com) them to me or post them on the VIP Facebook page – I'd love to see what you come up with!!!

I chose the THIS CHRISTMAS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER and a Christmas theme for my challenge cards. They all use the same layout and the tree is from the SANTA'S SLEIGH framelits. I used Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Very Vanilla for the card bases.

Here's the inside of this card – I love the little strips of GOLD GLIMMER PAPER and the DSP used as a layer under my inside greeting. It takes my card to a whole new level right?

This snowman was fun! I used the 1-3/4" circle punch for the bottom, the 1-1/2 circle punch for the middle and the 1-1/4 circle punch for the head – super easy!!!

I the GOLD METALLIC THREAD really finishes these cards off – offering just the right amount of bling to go along with the GOLD GLIMMER PAPER.

Sometimes I really surprise myself…and this is one of those times! Thanks Barb for a GREAT challenge – I had so much fun!!!!
