Paper Funday Challenge - November 2025: Merry and Bright

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog, where the challenges are Always Anything Goes with Optional Twists.  The Twist this month is Merry and Bright and our generous sponsors are Altenew and Picket Fence Studios.  

For my team project, I've used the twist and the festive Trimming the Tree Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Picket Fence Studios, which was a Stamptember Collab with Simon Says Stamp.  


The patterned papers are from a 6x6 Christmas pad purchased at Hobby Lobby, the circles where cut with dies from Pink Fresh Studio and the white circle was embossed with a Snowflake embossing folder from Darice.


The little girl and her Reindeer, who I made into Rudolph by adding a red gem to his nose, are popped on foam pads along with the gift packages and sentiment.  Lastly, I've added Crystal Stickles to her Hat and Scarf.  The Images were colored using Copic Alcohol Markers.

Please stop by the challenge this month and play along.  This is the last challenge of 2025, as the team is taking a holiday break in December and will resume with the January 2026 challenge.  So until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenge #76 - May 2025

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome!  It's the 1st Wednesday of May and time for a new Paper Funday Challenge.  Our generous sponsors this month are Altenew and Picket Fence Studios.  For my design team project, I've used the Aeonium African Succulent Stamp from Picket Fence Studios, however I couldn't find this stamp set on the site, it may be retired.


Picket Fence Studios are known for their larger than life images, and this one is gorgeous.  I'll admit, it intimidated me as I didn't exactly know how to color it and I've had this stamp in my stash for a while.  I did a google search for this succulent and found this color combo and thought, that's easy enough so let's give it a go!


I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers, and added some white dots here and there using a Uniball Signo Pen. To get as much of the image as possible on the card front, I went with a 5.5" square panel for this 6" card.  

The sentiment is from the Altenew Versatile Greetings Die Set; I've cut the words from gold mirror card and used a black shadow, then mounted on foam pads.  Lastly, I've added smoky gray gems from Kat Scrappiness.

Please join us at the challenge, we would love to have you join in the fun!  And a huge thanks to our generous sponsors this month.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Candy Cane Christmas

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Fri-YAY!  I hope you're week has been wonderful and you have plans for something fun this weekend.  For me, I'm hoping to get some Christmas packages wrapped and under the Tree along with some crafty time.

Today I have a quick share featuring an image from the "Candy Cane Christmas" stamp set by Picket Fence Studios.  I've colored the image using alcohol markers. 


As I've stated many times before, I'm not a CAS kinda girl.  I love texture, color and pattern so in an attempt to go CAS with this card, I just couldn't resist splattering with Dr. Ph. Martin's White Ink.  I just can't help myself; when I look at one of my CAS designs, it always looks like it's missing something.


No other bells or whistles have been added, and a huge KUDOS to those who are CAS masters, who make their designs look stunning.  That's all for today, so until next time, Happy Crafting!
