SCS CAS Winter Design Team Entries

This past week I decided to enter the search for the winter design team for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. There were three rounds which narrowed the field of stampers to a final 8 from which 3 design team members will be selected.

Round one required a design with designer paper and ribbon. Here is the card I created:

Stamps: Good Cheer by Technique Tuesday

Papers: PaperTrey Ink White, Martha Stewart Christmas Pad

Ink: Stampin' Up Real Red

Embellishment: Silver Cord and Satin Ribbon

Tool: Cuttlebug Tag Die Cut

Round two required at least one gift in the design. My design has three:

Stamps: Holy Triptych by Stampin' Up

Seek Him by Stampendous!

Papers: Naturals Ivory by Stampin' Up

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa and Copic Markers

Embellishment: Silver Cord and Satin Ribbon

I made it through to the final round where we had a photo inspiration of holiday treats in traditional colors. Here is my entry:

Stamps: Multi Step Build a Garland by Kitchen Sink Stamps

Good Cheer by Technique Tuesday

Papers: PaperTrey Ink White, Stampin' Up Real Red

Ink: Stampin' Up Real Red

Embellishment: Seam Binding Ribbon

Tool: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Martha Stewart Loop Punch

Winners will be announced Thursday night!

November TUIC Challenge

My final card today was created for Julie's Clean Up Challenge for Tangled Up in Creativity. She asked us to use left over bits and pieces from our desk to create a card for her November challenge.

As you can see, I have used pieces left over from my work on my third card for the SCS CAS design team challenge. You can clearly see a smudgy peppermint on the left and the addition of a third color which I decided to abandon. I really don't like spearmint, anyway!  I added a few more layers, and it is going out to someone (possibly visually impaired) for Christmas.
