Challenge #274 - The Double

How can it be the end of May already?!?  Time sure flies, doesn't it?  It's my last week as your challenge hostess; I hope you have had fun.  Those of you familiar with the way things work on the CC&S blog know the 5th Tuesday of the month, means a Timeless Tuesday (AKA The Double) challenge. This is where we choose a previous CC&S sketch and retired Stampin' Up! colours and blend them together in one challenge.  Here's the combination I have for you to "play" with this week:

You must use all of the stated challenge colours.  You may also use neutral colours; however, the challenge colours should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card.  We use Stampin' Up colour names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colours as closely as possible.  Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. 

Our design team has created the following cards to inspire you:

Cathy

Beverley

Fiona

Jeanne

Karen


Patricia

Samantha

Wei

We give our Guest Designers a break on Timeless Tuesday weeks.  Check back with us next Tuesday to find out who our June Guest Designer will be!

A friendly reminder:  Only clean and simple styled cards that follow our challenge guidelines will be eligible for our Weekly Winners voting.  We feel all projects are "works of heart" and are worthy of being included in our thumbnail gallery; however, any submissions that do not relate to our challenge and that appear to be promotional in nature may be deleted without notice or comment.

Our challenge requirements are listed in the Challenge Rules tab. Please read them carefully before linking your card. Happy crafting!

Challenge End Time: 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time/11:00 p.m. London U.K. time Monday, June 4, 2018

Challenge #257 - The Double

Hello! 

Can you believe we are in the last week of January? How this month has flown by. This is my last week of being your hostess and as it's officially the 5th Tuesday in the month, we have our Timeless Tuesday (AKA The Double) challenge. This is where we choose a previous CC&S sketch and some retired Stampin' Up! colours.

This is my inspirational combo...

We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black). However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.  You may also stretch the square shape of the card out to a rectangle, as most of our design team has done.

Challenge #247 - Double

It's Emily here again with my last challenge for the month! Somehow October has just flown past and Christmas is fast approaching! Is anyone else beginning to panic like I am?!

As this is the fifth Tuesday in October I have an extra special challenge today to use a previous CC&S sketch and some retired Stampin' Up colours. I look forward to seeing all your ideas for this challenge and thank everyone that has played along this month. I hope you have enjoyed my challenge ideas. I have certainly loved seeing all the wonderful cards in the gallery!

We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.  You may also stretch the square format of the sketch out to a rectangle.

Challenge #238 - Double

August is squeezing in another Tuesday - and you know what that means: Timeless Tuesday! Today we have a throwback sketch (#37) and a color scheme using some of our favorite retired colors. We can't wait to see what you pull together using both the sketch and the colors!

We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. You can also stretch out the square format into a rectangular card.  So long as we can see the basic elements of the sketch, it's all good.

Challenge #225 - The Double

Hello!  It's Patricia here, bringing you this week's challenge.  Since it's the fifth Tuesday in the month, that makes it a Timeless Tuesday Double challenge!  This week's colors are all retired Stampin' Up colors, and they are paired with one of our previous CC&S sketches, #87.  You'll need to use the colors and the sketch together to meet our challenge this time!

You're welcome to rotate or mirror-reverse the sketch when creating your card.  Although we've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use neutral colours (white, cream, kraft, brown, grey, or black) for card layers, sentiments, and image outlines. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.
