OCC - Embossed with Color

Welcome back OCC Friends! We would like to thank everyone that stopped by and played along with our sketch challenge last week. This week, our hostess Sarah Gough ~ Thinking Stamps is challenging us to add color and depth to our dry embossing using ink and a sponge or brayer, paint, or by inking the embossing folder directly before running through your die cutting machine.

Our Creative Corner ~ Tag, You're It!

Greetings friends of the OCC. We're so glad you dropped by for our last challenge in November. Thank you so much to those of you who played along with us in our 3-D holiday project. There were some pretty awesome creations and we hope you had fun with that challenge!


This week, we are challenging you to make a tag. Tags can be so much fun. Your project this week can be a tag or simply include a tag. This is a great time to make a gorgeous gift tag to give someone in the upcoming holiday season. But it does not need to be a holiday tag or gift. Be creative – we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Our Creative Corner ~ Create a Holiday 3-D Project

Hello OCC friends.  It's Saturday again and we have a wonderful challenge for you this week.  We're so happy you have stopped by to see what's happening here at Our Creative Corner.  Thanks to everyone who participated in last week's color challenge.  There were so many fabulous entries.  Before we tell you about this week's challenge, we want to spotlight our featured artist.  This week it's Annika Ryan.  Here is her wonderful card.  We hope you will stop by her blog to see more of her lovely work.  




This week, our host, Linda Coughlin, is challenging us to stretch ourself and create something other than a card.  Most of us will have multiple gift giving occasions in the next few weeks. Create some sort of three dimensional project that you could give as a gift. It could be a hostess gift, a gift for a co-worker or just a pretty little gift for someone special. Be creative! We’re looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!  Everyone is welcome to play along at any time.  If you upload your creation to SCS, please use the keyword OCCC.   Here's what our design team created for your inspiration this week.

Our Creative Corner ~ Color Challenge

Hello friends and welcome back to another challenge with Our Creative Corner. We had a terrific response to our Attitude of Gratitude challenge last week. Thanks to all our participants for sharing their beautiful work and stories about what they are grateful for.

Our Featured Artist this week is Carla Suto. Below is her wonderful creation. Please stop by her SplitCoastStampers gallery to see more of her outstanding work.




We have a color challenge for you this week - a pretty fall palette with a twist. We want you to create something using these warm colors with a touch of cool blue thrown in. We know you will come up with some beautiful creations using these colors.



To jump start your inspiration, our design team has some lovely samples.
