Embossing

2012-01-14T08:00:00.008-05:00

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow. This week we have a great challenge and a lovely new sponsor. The challenge is EMBOSSING and you can create your vintage, shabby chic or primitive card with dry or heat embossing.

Join us in saying hello to Digi Doodle Shop.

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts. It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps. Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair. Having these two complimenting styles have enabled
Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations. We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.
Sincerely,
Judy and Joy

This week one random winner will receive a $10 gift certificate from Digi Doodle Shop and a winner's badge from Sugar Creek Hollow to display on her blog. The Design Team will also select one project as 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.

The Design Team has used a number of the fabulous images from Digi Doodle Shop and have created some wonderful inspiration for you.

Welcome to Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and a new challenge. Before we get to the challenge, we want to announce that our Design Team is changing in January and we would like to tell you about those changes now. This will be a long post so grab a beverage and settle down to read :)

First, we are losing a couple of our wonderful designers because of family commitments. Marsha has been with Sugar Creek Hollow since the very beginning and her wonderful vintage designs will be missed. While Heide hasn't been with us as long, she has inspired us all each week with some gorgeous designs. Renee is going to stay with the team but will be scaling back her participation. Starting in the New Year she will become our Feature Artist and will show us all how Recycling and Repurposing are done the vintage way when those challenges come up. Thank you ladies for your valuable contributions to the Sugar Creek Hollow team and for all your hard work.

Next, we have three new designers coming on board and they are joining us with their vintage beauties for the challenge this week so you can get a preview of what they will be showing you starting in January.

Give a big welcome to:

Linda Payne from Payne Holler Cards

Peggy Marsh from The Wired Angel

Daniele Haddon from The Musings of a Chocoholic

Now on to our challenge. With Christmas close at hand, our challenge to you this week is to make CHRISTMAS CARDS IN NON-TRADITIONAL COLORS. Don't forget that we are a vintage, shabby chic or primitive challenge and want you to create in those styles.

Please include a photo of that item in your post so we can say "You went from that to that - wow!"

We will choose one random winner who will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display. The Design Team will select one project as Card of the Week and the creator of that project will receive a badge to display and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Did You Know?

2011-11-02T16:24:00.000-04:00

Did you know that vellum is just another paper and readily available at craft stores? Did you know that it comes in a variety of colors and sometimes is even printed? Did you know that you can stamp on it, emboss it, cut it with your dies, sponge it with ink and do just about anything you want to it?

We think you didn't know these things because we don't have very many entries this week. Please get your hands on some vellum and show us what you can do with it. We know whatever you do will be fabulous.

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow.

This does not mean paper scraps in your stash but you can use them in addition to your recycled or re-purposed item. Please make sure you add a photo of the throw-away item(s) you have used to your blog post so we can see how your creativity began.

We will choose a random winner who will receive a digi of our choice and the Design Team will select a Card of the Week.

Our designers have been digging through their recycling bins and transformed some great items into wonderful treasures for your inspiration. To get more details and see what they used, just click on their name and you will be taken directly to their blog.

Sunny Sunflowers

2011-09-10T08:00:00.008-04:00

As you drive around at this time of year you can't help but seeing lots of sunflowers growing in fields and gardens. It is always amazing that they can grow so tall with such big heads and not topple over. This week our Sensational Saturday challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow is to create a vintage, shabby chic or primitive card or other paper-crafted project featuring SUNFLOWERS in the main image.

This week we are fortunate to have a lovely sponsor with us.

You too can create cards and paper crafts like the Funkie Junkie.

Linda Coughlin, a.k.a The Funkie Junkie, loves using unusual frilly and funky items in her crafting. She has searched out or handmade the many delightful embellishments offered for sale in her Etsy boutique. Hand touched and personal attention to each and every order are hallmarks of her boutique. Linda warmly invites you to stop by for a browse.

We will be choosing a random winner who will receive a $15 gift certificate for The Funkie Junkie's Etsy boutique and a winner's badge from Sugar Creek Hollow to display on her blog. In addition, the Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week (or shall we say Project of the Week) and the creator will receive a badge to display on her blog and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Linda is also joining us as a Guest Designer and here is her Sunflower card.

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.

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.

2011-05-07T08:00:00.014-04:00

Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow. We have a few changes to tell you about and then on to our weekly challenge.

First, we want to say goodbye to four of our Design Team members who have inspired you for the past months. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful work and we will be lurking around to see what you are up to.

DawnDonna Mary Nancy
We also want to welcome Patti, who was our April Guest Designer to the team.

The changes are simple - we are going back to our roots and we want you to show us vintage, shabby chic or primitive inspired cards or other paper crafted projects following the challenge theme for each week. If these aren't your styles, then this is the challenge blog for you because you will be able to get wonderful inspiration and stretch your creative repertoire. That is what a challenge means - trying something outside your comfort zone.

We are really excited to announce that some of our challenges are going to be sponsored but even though the Sugar Creek Hollow store is closed, Tracy will still offer a digi of her choice to the random winner when there is no sponsor. She will also offer a freebie once in a while so you need to check the challenge blog often.

We have reduced the size of the Design Team but will round it out with Guest Designers. We will continue to choose a top pick each week and then select a Guest Designer each month from that group. From time to time we will feature an invited Guest Designer.

This week the challenge is to use this SKETCH.

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