SUO117 Hello There Teen Card

Hi Stampers!   

It’s time for the new SUO117 “Just for Teens” Challenge and I decided to create a card using the new hostess set, Time to Celebrate along with a Project Life® by Stampin’ Up! Everyday Adventure project card as the base for the images.  

Not sure if a teen would like this card but I think the bird image in this set is so cute!

I was also inspired by the Splitcoaststampers "Try A New Technique" TLC520 Embossing Folder Stamping Challenge- see their gallery here.   I did use the embossing folder to stamp the chevron on the right hand side of the bird image :-)

I hope you will find the time to check the both challenge sites and create your own Stampin’ Up! Teen Card to join in on the fun!

To create this card:

Use the Big Shot™ with the Zig Zag Textured Impressions™  Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock, trim and mount onto the Bermuda Bay card base.

Using the card from the Project Life® by Stampin’ Up! Everyday Adventure set, stamp the bird and sentiment from the hostess set, Time to Celebrate using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink.

Color the bird using Stampin’ Write Markers- Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Rose Red (I could not locate my Strawberry Slush marker- oops!) :-).   Use the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write marker to add shadows around the bird, circle border, arrow and the sentiment box. 

Ink the large splatter image from Gorgeous Grunge with Crumb Cake Classic Ink and stamp over the bird and sentiment images. 

Ink the interior of the Chevron Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder using Rose Red Classic Ink and spritz with a bit of water.  Create a mask for the circle and sentiment box on the Project Life® card and lay the inked/spritzed part of the embossing folder face down onto the masked card to “stamp” the chevron. 

Trim the Project Life® panel and round the top right hand corner using the 3/8” Project Life® Corner Rounder Punch.  Use the 2 ½” Circle Punch to punch out a portion of the top left had corner. 

Mount the panel onto a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock, round the top tight hand corner and remove part of the top left hand corner using the same punches as above.

Create the banner using the Banner Punch punching pieces from Bermuda Bay and Strawberry Slush cardstock as well as the retired Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Using a Craft Mat with a Hot Glue Gun, adhere the banners together in an arch form and add the Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim to cover the glued edges.

Using the same papers as above, add a few banners to the lower right hand side of the panel as well.

Mount the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add a few Rhinestones near the sentiment to finish off the card.

Hi Stampers!!

This past week has been the annual Dare To Get Dirty Challenge at Splitcoaststampers and I was honored to be able to create a few samples for the many hostesses of this fun challenge!!

If you are not a Fan Club member, here is the link to learn more aboutjoining.  While the Splitcoaststampers site is free, there are benefits to becoming a Fan Club member :-)    Among one of the wonderful benefits is the ability to participate in the exclusive Dare To Get Dirty challenges and possibly win some of the fantastic, free prizes!!   

For the $25.00 a year membership fee (approx. 6.5 cents a day), you can help support this wonderful stamping resource that I know I personally visit several times a day- with the galleries, tutorials, forums, etc. - this is a bargain for sure (and no, I do not get commission for you to sign up- lol!!)  I just love the Splitcoaststampers site and it has been invaluable to me in my crafting journey :-)

One rule of participation in the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges is that the actual challenge details are secret to all except the Fan Club Members…I can share the card but not the details on the actual challenge :-)

This card is fairly easy to make and unfortunately, I cannot give the detailed steps on creating this card without revealing the challenge, so if you have any questions, please let me know in the comments :-)
