#tgifc544 Product Challenge

Welcome back to TGIF Challenges, friends!

We love gathering here with you each week to be inspired and to see the amazing creativity you share with us. This week, we’re excited to feature a Product Suite Challenge—and it’s the perfect one to welcome the season! The Gathering Together Suite Collection is all about creating warm, inviting fall and harvest-themed projects. With its rich, earthy color palette—Basic Beige, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Champagne, and Old Olive—paired with a versatile stamp set, dies, embossing folder, and gorgeous coordinating accessories, you’ll have everything you need to capture the beauty of autumn.

Don’t have the suite in your collection yet? No problem! Be inspired by any part of it—the cozy feel, the warm colors, or the elegant touches—and use similar products from your stash to capture the same look. Whether you’re making cozy cards, festive tags, or elegant scrapbook pages, we can’t wait to see how you bring the warmth of this suite (or its inspiration!) into your creations and share them with our TGIF community!

We are so grateful for all of your fun projects last week. Big CONGRATS to our WINNER -

Su Mohr

Hi there!!!! Happy Friday!!!

Who's ready for some fun crafty inspiration? YOU obviously - lol :)

This week we want to focus on one of the exciting newer products to the Stampin' Up! lineup - Blending Brushes. These brushes allow you to beautifully blend your inks by applying extremely light shades of ink or creating soft gradient backgrounds with no lines. You can also use them with our Decorative Masks or stencils.

We loved seeing all of the wonderful Sale-A-Bration inspired projects you submitted for last week's challenge. Thank you so much for sharing them all with us! We'd like to congratulate our winner:

Jessica Lewis

#TGIF344 Product Challenge

Happy Friday, TGIF friends!!! Do you have pastels? Have you USED them? While many of us were excited to see them in the Stampin' Up! catalog this year, we wondered if many people were actually using them. There are so many different ways that you can use them, and hopefully we inspire you.

Here are a few ideas -

Poppin' Pastels - 1)Stamp the image with Craft White Ink or Versamark. 2) Use Sponge Daubers to apply the pastel color directly to the inked image. 3)Blow off any excess powder. TIP - To avoid smearing, gently dab the chalk rather than rubbing it across the image.

Chalking - 1)Apply pastel color to your card stock or paper with a cotton swab, sponge dauber, or dry Water Painter. 2)Blend the colors as desired with the applicators or Blender Pen. When using Blender Pens, just touch the tip lightly to the corner of the pastel to pick up the color.

Of course we never want to exclude anyone from one of our challenges. If you don't have the pastels, get creative and show us ways that you can create a similar look. Although we think that after this week, you'll definitely want to add them to your list!

Thank you all so much for all of your great projects last week. We love that you played along and shared them with us.

Congrats to our winner:

Barb Pfeffer

#TGIFC299 Product Spotlight Challenge

Hello and happy Friday TGIF friends!

We sure do hope that today is finding you well and ready to create! It's time to take a little time for yourself and to get your creative juices flowing! Hopefully, we will bring you just that little bit of extra inspiration that you need.

Your challenge this week is to use your background stamps! Use them to create your background, or use them in a fun, and innovative way. Most importantly, just USE them!

We loved all of your great entries last week. Congrats to our winners:
