Challenge # 67 - Clean and Simple

Welcome back to the 

'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.

Just a reminder if you are new to our challenge - 

your project doesn't have to be 

of a 'Fantasy' nature.

First of all, 'Thank You' to those of you that joined our last challenge 'Wish upon a Star' - we had some great entries, but PLEASE REMEMBER that we are a stamping challenge, so unfortunately we are unable to consider digital images for our Top 3. Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to check out our 'Winner's Post'.

Just to let you know we are always on the lookout for Guest Designers to join us for our 'Midway Motivation' posts on the alternate Saturdays to the challenge.  This opportunity will require you to make two projects on two different themes and would give you the chance to experience being on a design team, without all the extra commitment.  If you are interested in being a 'Guest Designer' please add GDT after your entry below.

oooOooo

So, here we go with Challenge No.67 - our theme for the next two weeks 

So, we can't wait to see your projects ...

BUT please remember, we are a STAMPING challenge so your project must include stamping as a focal point and please state clearly which stamp/stamps you used in your blog post (NO digital images please). 

Here's what the Design Team made for your inspiration ...

Midway Motivation - CAS

Welcome back to our 

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

I'm back with our Guest Designer, Hannah  today to give you a little extra motivation for our current 'Clean and Simple' challenge.  Just in case you missed it last time, here's a little bit about her ...

www.stampinbyhannah.co.uk

Hi, I have always been creative - I am a paper crafter at heart, although I also paint, knit and crochet (I cannot sew, and am terrified of the sewing machine - although I really would like one!)

I started paper crafting a few years ago after finding a crafting TV channel and fell in love with scrapbooking. After making a scrapbook album for my mum one Christmas I had a heap of scraps left over and turned to cardmaking to get them used - cue finding yet another craft! I started to make all our Birthday and Christmas cards, and last year made all our Wedding stationery.

I joined Stampin' Up as a demonstrator in June last year, and blog at least four times a week. I also hold craft classes from my home in Teeside several times a month, as well as teaching card-making to ladies with dementia in the care home where I work.

oooOooo

Here's Hannah's gorgeous project for our current challenge ...

And here's a close-up of the stamped detail ...

Stamp - Stampin' Up 

Many thanks, Hannah.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 24th April, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

Hugz, Jan xx

Midway Motivation - CAS

Welcome to our brand new

 'Midway Motivation' post here at 

FANTASY STAMPERS.

As part of our improvements to the blog, I will now be publishing a midway reminder for our current challenge every alternate Saturday.  This will be the post that our guest designers appear on, but for the first month some of my design team have filled the spot.

We have had some fabulous entries so far for our 'Clean and Simple' challenge, but just in case you haven't had time to join us yet, here is a little something designed by Cindy and Julie for your inspiration ...

CINDY

Beautifully embossed water lilies by 'Magenta'

JULIE

Clever background stamping by Hero Arts

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 18th July, and I will be back with details of the next challenge on 19th July.

# 14 - Clean and Simple

Welcome back to the 

'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.

Just a reminder if you are new to our challenge - 

your project doesn't have to be 

of a 'Fantasy' nature.

Well, here we are in July already and as I mentioned last time, there is a slight change to how the challenge post looks today - our Winner's post will now appear on the Sunday following the new challenge. So, first of all a big 'Thank You' to those of you who played along last time with our 'Here Comes Summer' challenge - there were some fabulous entries. Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to find out who the design team chose for their winners.

We are still looking for 'Guest Designers' to join our little team and make projects for our new 'Midway Motivation' posts which will appear on the alternate Saturdays to the challenge posts. The GDT post would initially be for one month at a time and require you to make two projects on two different themes, but I am more than happy for crafters to do more than one GDT spot if they would like - this would provide the opportunity to experience being on a design team, without all the extra commitment.  If you are interested in being a 'Guest Designer' please add GDT after your entry below.

oooOooo

So, here we go with Challenge No.14 - our theme for the next two weeks is ...

So it's time to put away all the extra embellishments and dig out those clean cut designs.

BUT please remember, we are a stamping challenge so your project MUST include stamping and please state clearly which stamp/stamps you used in your blog post (no digital images please). 

Here's what the Design Team made for your inspiration ...

JAN

Stamp - Stampin Up 'Serene Silhouettes'

Clarity Stamp Chain No 5'

SANDRA

Stamp - Visible Image 'Wedding Day set'

JULIE

Stamp - LOTV 'By the River'

CAZ

Stamp - Little Claire border stamp

Kaisercraft sentiment stamp

CINDY

Stamp - Paper Artsy 'Set HP1005'

Amazing work from the DT - thank you ladies.
