You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Good morning D.I.V.A.S., we were asked to open another thread for the challenges, so here ya go.
The 1st SS Challenge was issued by Julie, and it is(drumroll please)
Secret Sister Challenge #1 Friendship Is In Bloom!
Your challenge is to create a friendship themed card using as many floral elements as possible. You may use items such as floral paper, a floral stamp, primas, flower die cuts, silk flowers, pressed flowers, flower brads, add a flower seed pack to your card and so on. You do not have to use all of these items just as many floral elements as you can
The theme is friendship because that is what Secret Sister is all about!
Good Morning D.I.V.A.S., I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. It's my turn to host the challenge this week. I've decided to give you the challenge of making a box or bag of your choice. The catch is-it has to be a technique that you've never tried before. It can be small or large-your choice. When the time comes to send it out, just put a little something in there for your SS. It does not have to be anything expensive, it could be something extra you have laying around, or her favorite candy-you choose. Have fun Ladies, can't wait to see your creations.
oh im so glad I checked., gonna work on my challenges this weekend.
im so behind. just finished a wedding invite order take took most of my week, so I'll get to play a little more now ;)
This week's Secret Sister Challenge is to make a birthday card. We all have birthday sets in our stamp stash, so this should be an easy one :-D Birthday card's are what we give out the most throughout the year, and they are so much fun to create. HAVE FUN SISTERS!
Good morning D.I.V.A.S., hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day. I have the 4th challenge for our SS. This week we are going to try something different:
AN ATC!!!!
I don't know about any of you, but I've never done one, and have always wanted to. So have fun, be creative and HAVE FUN!!
Good morning D.I.V.A.S., I'm so sorry I should have put a link in the original post for the tutorial on ATC's. So Here it is. Hope that explains it enough. You can also find examples in the gallery. If you go to anything but a card, and scroll down, they are there.
Wow, I'm a bit behind on these!! Got to get stamping!!
Hey Sara, is there a way you could list the weeks and challenges that have been announced on the first post? I can find them all now but if I keep getting behind, I may need a quick reference.
Good morning D.I.V.A.S., I have the secret sister challenge for today. This is our last challenge. I know that some of us are behind(me included). We have this whole week to finish, if some of you feel it's not enough time, please let me or Julie know, and we'll see about extending the time period. Ok, so here we go-this week I want you to make a scrapling! I've again never made one of these, and have been wanting to. Isn't it funny, every challenge I've given you is something I have been wanting to do!! Ok, I tried to find a tutorial on them, but couldn't. If you go to the gallery and do a search for SCRAPLING you'll find many examples. Basically what they are is the left over CS that you have from making a standard size card. Then you make a mini card from those. Have fun, can't wait to see what you come up with. So, again the challenge for this week is:
SCRAPLING'S Here is the link to the scapling gallery.
I found this.. and here is a sample I have never heard of this, so this should be fun.
Scraplings are the strip have left after you create a square card that was cut at 4.25 x 5.50 and then cut again to make a square card of 4.25. These are cool!! The measurement is 1.25" x 4.25" and makes a great gift tag.

I propose that we have a date for sending after the 4th of July.... I'm really behind and so are so many of us. What does the group think of making it the week after the 4th with so many activities happening around Independence Day?

I have had so much fun hosting the SS challenge with Sara. It is such an exciting activity! We do have a mail off date for the 22nd.
Our next SS challenge activity will be in the Fall. That time of year is a lot of fun with so many Holiday's to pull from. Our group is so talented (:
I am new with the DIVAS as well as checking out the SCS forum. I have looked and read various posts and still can not find what people are mailing out? Can someone help me get on target with what I should be doing. I apologize for not being totally on the ball with all this but it is new to me.
Also do we still have a spot left? For some reason after reading many many posts it seemed like someone was leaving the group. If that is the case I know someone who is very interested in joining the group. She is very talented and such a sweet person. Let me know I will email her.

I really had fun with this! It's the first time I have participated in anything like it and will gladly do it again.
I am continually amazed with the talent in this group, you are all so amazing!
We usually wait till we know everyone has received their package. Some packages will take a little longer due to location. Post a yes I received my package. Once the group is ready we will post our SS name, goodies on our Blogs along with a thank you.
