One of the ladies on Splitcoaststampers has a birthday in January, and she has kindly sent me a few cards over the years. I seem to always be behind the eight ball and never have enough cards finished to send timely to SCS friends. Even though that was still the case, I made up my mind that I would send her a card in January this year even if it was late. It is on the way!
Before beginning my card, I checked out my SCS Challenge List for possible fits and found 14 possible fits, listed below. Ultimately, I did end up casing one of my own past cards to fit the Fan Club More Is More Challenge for August 2021.
.1) MIX467 - Mix-ability Challenge/ Summer in Winter - 1/7/22. Make a card using summer colors. My card is bright and cheerful and uses summery colors instead of winter drab! Mediums: dye-based stamping ink, computer ink (inside verse), Wink of Stella-Gold on punch corner colors (inside).
.2) AOCC22 - All Occasions Card Challenge/ January 2022. An ongoing/monthly challenge encourages you to set goals ahead for each month to help you complete and mail your cards more timely! This is a much needed birthday card for a stamping friend's January birthday.
.3) USEIT2022 - Use It Challenge/ January 2022. An ongoing/ annual challenge that requires you to use OLD/ DUSTY and long unused items and/or OLD/NEW items purchased, never used, and seemingly forgotten! My OLD item(s): stamp set last used in 2018; DSP paper last used in 2018 as well.
.4) F4A619 - Free 4 All Challenge/ It's A Girl Thing - 12/31/21. Challenge: use girly things, ribbon, bows, polka dots, etc. I've used bubbly polka dots, ribbon with a bow, sequins, and bright colors on my card!
.5)WT858 - Ways to Use It Challenge/ International Bow Day - 8/19/21. Challenge...make a card with a bow.
.6) MIM0821 - Fan Club Monthly Challenge--August 2021/ Kitchen Sink - 8/16/21. My card follows the theme in that it uses this colorful dish pattern to help determine colors: Certified International Valencia.
It is for the More is More Challenge. I made a similar card several years ago, and did a remake adding more elements to my current card. Original card: Another Sister-in-Law to Celebrate! Here is my current card: Happiest of Birthdays for an SCS Friend!
.7) CAS630 - Clean & Simple Challenge/ Colorful Sentiment - 3/22/21. Challenge: a card with more than one color on the sentiment...I've used three.
.x ABC13Z26 - Alphabet Challenge/ Letter Z - 9/23/20. My card is a collection of zippy, zappy colors and patterns...lively and colorful, uplifting and energetic.
.x9) S2S20AUG - Save to Stamp (aka Stamp 2 Support One Another)/ August--Celebrating Friendship - 8/6/20. A monthly challenge originally to make cards to earn credit to purchase more stamping products, but evolved into a place to fulfill the monthly challenge, make friends and support one another. Challenge: make cards to celebrate friendship. I think of birthday cards as a way to celebrate friendships. This card is for an SCS friend's birthday.
.10)) MSP36 - Misty Mondays Challenge/ It's a Party - 8/1/20. Create a project with a party theme and confetti...mine also has a candle!
.11) MMTPT626 - Teapot Challenge/ Ribbon or Washi - 7/21/20. Challenge: use ribbon or washi on your card.
.12 FS688 - Featured Stamper Challenge/ Stampngokaren (aka Karen Decknick) - 4/12/20. Found this card with gorgeous colors to inspire me: It's Going To Get Better by stampngokaren at Splitcoaststampers It's Going to Get Better! I incorporated these beautiful summery, vibrant colors into my card with a totally different theme and layout.
.13) IC745 - Inspiration Challenge/ The Gray Muse - 3/14/20. I found this color wheel pin that inspired me to use as many bright and cheerful colors as possible to make a cheerful birthday card to brighten our winter days: Rainbow Color Wheel Enamel Pin!
.14) SC686 - Sketch Challenge/ 2/28/18. Sketch Tweak: #4 vertical strip move from more right to more left. #6/7 oval mat and sentiment...changed to a circle with circle mat; stamped right on circle rather than add the #8 narrow sentiment strip.
