You Can Create It – International Challenge & Inspiration – April 2024

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 – Thoughtful Wishes Z Fold

For this month’s envelope, I chose to make fun purple Z-fold.

My card base is Basic White Thick that I decorated with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.  I used the Nested Essentials Dies for my greetings.  I love how you can’t see the inside panel when the card is closed.

My new favorite die from Thoughtful Wishes Dies was used with the Three Color Glimmer Specialty Paper. I used it for my Mother’s Day card too.  I just love what it adds to the card.  I did have to cut it in half and attach each piece separately, but I hid the back side of the panel with a second panel, so when you open the card it’s all nice and neat.

My greetings come from the new Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set, stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink.

I finished my card with the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems!!!

I hope you liked my project. The rest of the team’s projects have the same base supplies and it’s always amazing to see how different each of our projects can be.
