Classic Design Challenge #6 - June/July 2025

Hello Crafty Friends, I'm back with another post for this Sunday.  It's time for a new challenge month at The Classic Design Challenge Blog and our generous sponsor this month is Sheepski Designs.

I've colored the Emmy's Hat digital stamp using Copic Alcohol Markers for my team project, the patterned papers are from a 8x8 paper pad by Prima and I've used one of the cut-aparts for the image landing space and sentiment.

I've fussy cut the image and popped on foam pads for dimension.  To complete the design, I've added golden thread from Altenew, gold embellishments from Kat Scrappiness and a butterfly sticker from Jolee's.

We want to invite you to join us at The Classic Design Challenge this month.  We love seeing all your creative entries, so until next time, Happy Crafting!

Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #30 - Jun/Jul 2025

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  Today starts a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog.  Our optional mood board this month is:

The months of June and July are patriotic here in the States, but I didn't go for a patriotic theme necessarily, however I did use the colors from the mood board for my card, and colored up the "Kindness is the Way" digital stamp from Power Poppy.

I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers and chose to use the entire panel of florals for the card front.  After coloring, I've trimmed the panel and popped on foam pads for dimension and to help distinguish the panel from the card base.

The sentiment is from an older set by The Scrapbooking Queen, which I've trimmed using a nesting oval die, then popped on foam pads, with a nesting of silver thread from Altenew. Lastly, I've added some light blue gems for sparkle.  

We want to invite you to share your Floral inspired projects with us at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.  We hope to see you there and Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Paper Funday Challenge - June 2025

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! It's time for a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. This month the Optional Twist is: Embossing: Heat and/or Dry, and our sponsors are the generous Pink & Main and Dare 2B Artsy.

For my team project, I've colored the Cherry Cupcake stamped image from Pink & Main using Copic Alcohol Markers, and I've also included the Twist and embossed a purple panel using a Stars embossing folder from Darice.

The focal image has been cut using a nesting oval die from Hero Arts, the patterned papers are snippets from Stampin' Up, along with the sentiment die and stamped birthday greeting.

The sentiment and focal panels have been popped on foam pads for dimension.  I've added Wink of Stella to the Cherries and you can see a bit of it in this photo.

We hope you'll join us at the challenge this month and enter your projects for a chance to win a fabulous prize from one of our sponsors.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #74 - Rainbow Hugs

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy 1st Monday of June!  Today starts a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  We have a fun and colorful inspiration photo for you this month, and this one can be interpreted in so many ways:

I was directly inspired by the rainbow of colors on this Carnival Swing Chair Ride and based my design team project on that.  I've used the After the Rain Rainbow Die Set, Rainbow Hugs Sentiment Die set from Kat Scrappiness and the Cloud Edger Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

A stitched cloud die is included in the Rainbow set and I've cut 2, staggering and popping them on foam pads.  I've inked around the edges for dimension.  Lastly, I've added pearlescent sequins to complete the design.

We would like to invite you to share your inspired projects with us this month.  There is an adorable stamp set from The Greeting Farm on offer and you may be the lucky winner!  Until next time, Happy Crafting.
