You Can Create It – International Challenge & Inspiration – April 2023

You Can Create It

I’m so excited to be part of the international “You Can Create It!” group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.  The group was started by German demonstrators Anja Luft and Heike Fallwickl as a challenge to see what different and beautiful projects can be created from the same list of just a few materials.

Every trimester there are 4 monthly envelopes plus an extras envelope.  Each designer will use the monthly envelope, items from the extras envelope, and anything else they wish to add to create projects that we will share on the 2nd of the month.  You can join in by purchasing the quarterly project kit and you can share your creations on my Facebook VIP site, Crafty Stampin’ VIP Stampers, and use the hashtag #ycci. See the purchase button to get this kit.

“Mach was draus” translates from German to “Make something of it!”

April and extras envelope contents:

 

My Creation – Zany Zoo

I’m so sad to see the Like an Animal Specialty Designer Series Paper has left us, that when stuff leaves that means we are getting more new stuff.  One of my new favorite items is the Zany Zoo Stamp Set and matching Zany Zoo Dies.  I colored the dancing Cheeta with Stampin’ Blends on the now-retired Sahara Sand cardstock.

The greeting is from the Good Feelings Stamp Set and is stamped on Basic White Cardstock in Early Espresso Ink and cut out with the new Countryside Corners Die.  I added an additional image of the Cheeta over the greeting in Gray Granite Ink, stamped off one time.  I finished the card with several new 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

I hope you liked my project.  Here are the rest of the team’s projects with the same base supplies.
