Seeing as Mother's Day will be upon us soon I thought it would be a good idea to add in a just for fun card challenge as my regular card challenge is due to go up after Mother's Day.

I am sure that I am not the only one who likes to mix up papers and embellishments from different manufactures and ranges on their projects. I do it all the time. My challenge is for you to chose one manufacturer and to use items from at least three different ranges on your card. The only exception is for flowers/leaves and pearls.

Here is my sample.



On my card I have used papers from the Bloom and Grow, Lush and Stella and Rose ranges.

Yep this will definitely give all us ST girls something fun and scrappy to do before Friday!!!

I love what you've done and the papers are gorgeous!!!

Here is a just for fun challenge to get you all in the mood for Fridays first challenge reveal. Enjoy girls.

It's a beautiful card, Julie.

The challenge you have set is an interesting one Julie, because I have noted that with Manufacturers, often several different lines will work together really well - they tend to use the same printers and therefore end up with similar colour tones in different releases

And dont we love that result!!!
Interesting to learn about too Lee-Anne!!

oh and I should say too Julie - beautiful card

thanks girls

Ok third time lucky I keep hitting the wrong button.

Scrapaholic has asked me how I made the flowers on my card. The paper I used is from the Stella and rose 6 by 6 pad is no longer in stock but it is the one with white and yellow swirl flowers over it. I cut out two of them and then layered them onto a cut of petal section from this Prima trim.

gorgeous Julie!!

mmmmm, coul dbe interesting, im not even sure if i have three different ranges from one manufacturer. I might have to do some extra shopping.... woohoo i could always use another excuse for shopping.

I reckon I could find something - off to rattle around in my stash box!!!

DONE! Just need to photograph and upload in the morn...

Have we a folder in the gallery for this yet?? Must check!

beautiful card Julie

will have to give this one a miss I don't have any paper or anything at all from set ranges

Gypsy it doesn't need to be just papers. You could use paper from one range, and die cuts, letters, flowers, buttons from others as long as they are all the same manufacturer.
