The Paper Funday Challenges - January #13 - Anything Goes with a Twist: Friendship

Happy New Year Everyone!  It's 2020 and I wish you and yours the best year ever!

Today starts a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges with a Theme of Anything Goes with an Optional Twist of Friendship.  The sponsor this month is Star Stampz and I had the pleasure of using the image Fairy Throne for my design team project.

Although the image is intricate, it was fun to color up and not that difficult or fiddly.  This card is a tent fold, A-6 (4.5"x 6.5") card.  I kept the embellishments simple as the coloring was the showcase.  I added some sequins for some sparkle along with some Wink of Stella on the Fairy Wings and her Sheer Wrap.

Please join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges and inspire us with your work.  There is also a Design Team Call so if you would like to join a great group of ladies, please email me at:  dlflowers64@gmail.com with some examples of your work and a little information about yourself.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges #455

Hello everyone!  After a hiatus from Design Team participation, I'm back to share my DT project for the current challenge at Penny's.  The sponsor for this challenge is the fabulous Cute As A Button Stamps and I've had the pleasure of creating with this sweet Holiday Image Reindeer Ears.

I decided to keep it simple yet effective and it's been awhile since I've colored with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I dusted them off and got lost in the fun of coloring (I'd forgotten how fun it is) and this sweet little guy came out great.  I accented the piece with sequins and my Sakura Gelli Roll Glitter pen.  This card measures the standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5").

We hope you'll join us at Penny's this week, we look forward to seeing your creations.  It's good to be back and crafting again!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - November Challenge

Hello Everyone, it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme for this month is Anything Goes with a Twist:  Thanksgiving.

For my design team project, I created a Post-It Note Holder Box and a Simple Thanksgiving Card.  The Note Holder Box was an inspiration from Positively Papercraft on YouTube.  Of course mine didn't come out as nicely as hers but it's functional and I do like it.  In hindsight, if I create this again, I will cut the mat pieces larger for the sides.  The box measures 3.5" square, 1.5" tall.

My second project was a simple card created for Thanksgiving.  I used a set of Postal Stamp dies and dies for the word Thankful.  The papers were some I had in my stash and the card measures a standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5").

We hope you will join us at The Paper Funday Challenges this month, we would love to see your creations and hope we inspire you in some little way with our projects.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - September Challenge

Hello and Welcome to September!  Autumn has always been my favorite time of year but not that it matters much here in Florida.  I love to travel to the Carolinas and Georgia in the Fall; I love to see the colorful landscapes.

We begin a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme for this month is Photo Inspiration.  The following photo will be your creative inspiration.

For my design team project, I was inspired by....you probably guessed it.....the colors.  This reminds me of a few places I've seen in Georgia and the Carolinas.

All the elements on the card are Die Cuts that I colored with Distress Inks.  Some elements have been mounted on dimensional foam squares for added height and interest.  This card measures 6" square.

We hope you will join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges and share with us how the photo inspired you.  We look forward to seeing you over there and Best of Luck in the prize draw!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - August Challenge

Hello Everyone!  Wow, this summer is flying by and it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  This month is another dual themed challenge:  Back to School and/or Camping.

Dear Husband and I love to camp in our Class C RV so I thought a Camping themed project would be right up my alley.  I created a Mini Album which was so much fun to put together.

I used the Simple Stories Cabin Fever Collection as well as a few digital papers for this Mini Album which measures 6"x6".  There are lots of  pockets and flaps to hold many photos.  Our last camping trip was The Florida Keys so I need to get busy filling up the album with those memories.

Please join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  We would love to have you and look forward to being inspired your Back to School and/or Camping projects!

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!
