The Paper Funday Challenge - June 2026

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today starts a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  The challenges are Always Anything Papercrafting Goes with Optional Twists.  The Twist this month is Polkadots and/or Stripes.  Our sponsors this challenge are the amazing Honey Bee Stamps and Concord & 9th!  We appreciate their generosity and support.

For my team project, I've used the Grateful Blooms Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Concord & 9th, along with patterned papers from Recollections to create a card of gratitude.


I stamped the images and sentiment using inks from Catherine Pooler, and die cut all using the coordinating dies.  I've adhered a panel of patterned paper at an angle to a plain mat that's a coordinating color.  Before adhering to the card base, I've embossed with a Geometric Ring embossing folder that reminds me of a Quilt.  


The focal die cut and sentiments have been popped on foam pads, and lastly, I've added purple Dazzles for extra interest and sparkle.  We hope you'll join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenge, and if you do, best of luck in the draw.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Four Seasons Challenge - Spring Theme Continues

Hello and Happy Fri-YAY April 1st!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Four Seasons Challenge Blog with the Spring Theme continuing.  The inspiration board follows and used for inspiration...and that's no April Foolin'! 


My design team project was created using the Grateful Blooms Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Concord & 9th.  I was inspired by the colors of the Rain Boots and Tulips pictured upper left of the inspiration board.


Using inks from Catherine Pooler, I stamped the floral image, which is a layering stamp, and created the background using lighter green and pink inks.


The focal image was die cut using the coordinating die, the sentiment is part of the stamp set and was also cut using coordinating dies.  I cut a thick banner from Watercolor themed cardstock and added Sping Leaves Faux Pearls from Kat Scrappiness.

The colors I've used just scream SPRING to me and soon we will be into Summer.  Please join us at The Four Seasons Challenge this month and show off your Spring designs.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
