UNSTAMPABELLES DESIGN TEAM CALL

Yes, we are in search of three new members for our Design Team to start January next year for a six month stint.

Sadly, we will be saying goodbye to Mandy, Kerry and Kaye at the end of our December challenge. They already know that 2012 is going to keep them plenty busy in real life but I am sure they will still find time to visit in the future.  We will miss their wonderful inspiration.

On a positive note though....this now gives you the chance to part of our fun and friendly team.

We will require a creation from you each month to showcase at the start of each challenge. 

If you have the time possibly a second card during the month to keep the inspiration flowing.

What to do to be considered:

Please just add a link of a project that you have posted (current or older) on your blog that will fit our challenge criteria.

Remember, all types of papercrafts and any technique....but NO STAMPS.

Our call will stay open until 12th December.

Inspiration from Stacie

Thanks everyone for all the terrific entries.....and so many of them.

Here is a card from Stacie to keep those design juices flowing.

Stacie has used patterned paper on this card.  Can you believe that stitching is part of the paper.  Doesn't it look so real?

Stacie has fussy cut the skull and added some glitter.

The rhinestone on the cats hat is from our sponsor this month - Pizzazz Aplenty

To find out more details please visit Stacie's blogpost here.

• This challenge closes 4th November
• Please remember our main rule for challenges - 'No Stamps'
• Have fun with paper, we accept any form of papercraft.

A bit of Inspiration from Merry

Hi everyone, thought you might like to see my 'Thanks' card I have created without a stamp in sight.

I started with a plain white card then added a layer of Stampin Up Crumb Cake which I have embossed with my Victoria folder.  I have gone around the edge with a Stampin Up border punch....really love how this punch creates such neat corners too.  The white flowers and the bronze skeleton leaves are from our sponsor this month - Pizzazz Applenty.

I have added some buttons to the centres of the flowers.  

I finished with a white sticker sentiment.

• You still have time to enter.....close date is 4th November
• Prize for this challenge is a $10.00 Surpise pack from Pizzazz Aplenty.
• entries to include papercrafting without stamps.

Cathy with some Autumn inspiration

Hi everyone, this time we have a wonderful creation from Cathy to inspire us.

The bee is too cute.

More Autumn/Fall inspiration from Annmaree

Morning everyone, Annmaree has keenly made a second Autumn/Fall card to inspire you in our latest challenge.  Annmaree has cut the Pumpkin and leaves from a Cricut card.  Don't you love the background effect.  Annmaree has just crinkled up the paper and then laid it out flat.  It has created terrific texture on the card.  Around the edge of the black circle you will see some faux stitching.

Remember if you use real or faux stitching on your AUTUMN/FALL paper creation you will receive a bonus entry.

So great to see so many entries already and such a variety of takes on the theme.

I have enjoyed visiting them all.
