Make Your Own Designer Paper

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday. Our challenge to you this week at Sugar Creek Hollow is to MAKE YOUR OWN DESIGNER PAPER. We want you to use your stamps or digital stamps and create your own background paper. Then we want you to turn that into a vintage, shabby chic or primitive card or other paper crafted project. We are a vintage challenge blog so please ensure that your images and embellishments are of a vintage style and that you follow the challenge theme.

This week a random winner will receive a digi or our choice and a winner’s badge to display.  The Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week and that creator will also receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Our designers have created some lovely inspiration and if you want to check out the details, just click on their names and you will be taken directly to their blogs.

Paper Piercing - Making Holes in Your Card

Welcome to Sugar Creek Hollow and another Sensational Saturday.  This week our challenge for you is to create a vintage, shabby chic or primitive card using the technique of PAPER PIERCING.  You don't need any special tools to prick holes in your paper because a sewing needle will do the trick.  If you want to use a pattern rather than just pricking holes in a line or circle and don't have any, there are quite a number of freebies out there (just Google "Free Paper Piercing Templates").  There are also lots of tutorials available.

This week we have a wonderful sponsor, PHINDY'S PLACE, who will provide our random winner with a $10 gift certificate to her store.  The random winner will also receive a badge to display on her blog.

Each member of the Design Team has used an image from Phindy's Place on the card that she has created for your inspiration. If you want to see the details of the cards, just click on the designer's name and you will be taken to her blog.

Patriotic - Celebrate With Your Country's Colors

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow.  This week we have a PATRIOTIC challenge for you.  We want you to celebrate your country and its history and make your vintage, shabby chic or primitive card using the colors of your country as represented by its flag.

Most of the ladies on the Sugar Creek Hollow Design Team are from the United States so their patriotic cards have a red, white and blue theme.  One of our members is Canadian and she has used a classic Canadian icon and done her card in red and white as those are the colors of the Canadian flag.  We are really looking forward to getting a colorful history lesson of the countries of our challenge participants.

This week we will reward a random winner with a badge to display on her blog and a digi of our choice.  The Design Team will choose a Card of the Week and the creator of that card will receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

As you can see the Design Team is very patriotic and has provided some wonderful inspiration for you.  To get details of their cards, just click on their names and you will be taken directly to their blogs.
