Paper Funday Challenge #86 - April 2026

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy April 1st, also known as April Fool's Day here in the States. This year is moving along at record speed and I hope you're experiencing the full effects of Spring.  

Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog and we have 2 amazing and generous sponsors:  Birch Press Design and Newton's Nook Designs.  The Challenges are Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist.  The twist this month is Die Cuts/Punches.  

For my team project, I've used the Tulips Stamp Set from Newton's Nook and also included die cuts to tie the optional twist into my design.


I've colored the image using Spectrum Noir Tri-blend Alcohol Markers; I should have used the Copics as these markers are drying out and probably need to be put in the bin.  The plaid paper is from the "Summer Splash" 6x6 paper pad by Pink & Main, the fancy edged nesting oval dies are from Hero Arts, the enamel dots and string are from my stash,


The sentiment and main focal panel have been popped on foam pads for dimension.  I think this card just sings SPRING!  We hope you'll stop by the Challenge and join us this month by sharing your creative and inspiring makes.

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!

Gardening Teddy

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  I hope you're weekend has been enjoyable and your weather sunny.  I have a quick share for you today featuring a sweet Teddy Bear working in his garden.

The upcoming Spring Season has my Mojo working overtime.  While looking through my stash, I came across some vintage woodblock stamps, and this Gardening Teddy Bear was one I was delighted to find.  Can you believe this stamp is from 1999?  That's 25 years old! 

It's from the Rubber Stampede Company, and I'm not certain if they are still in business.  I can't believe I still have this sweet stamp and it still stamps like a champ!  


I've colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils.  The focal image has been cut with a fancy edged oval die from Kat Scrappiness, and adhered flat to the card panel.  The patterned papers are from the "Summer Splash" 6x6 paper pad by Pink & Main, the sentiment is from Cardz TV.  

For additional interest, a small banner was hand cut, popped on craft foam, the sentiment was also popped on foam.  Finally, a few blue faux gems added for sparkle.  

That's all for today.  Have a fabulous day and week ahead.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Warm & Toasty Wishes

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I have a quick share for you today featuring an adorable Marshmallow cutie with a sweet wish.

I've finally gotten around to using some of the sets I've purchased from the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Event for 2022.  For my card today, I've used the "Snow-One Like You" collab set from Pink & Main.



I've colored the image using alcohol markers and my green marker was going dry, I was worried I wouldn't have enough ink to finish the Mug.  I'm not happy with the coloring there but it is what it is...I couldn't stop, I was in the Zone!


I've followed a sketch from Mojo Monday, even though this challenge has closed, you can still access the past challenge sketches.  The patterned papers are from the Echo Park "A Gingerbread Christmas" 6x6 paper pad.  I've doodled white dots to mimic snow and added white gems from Kat Scrappiness to finish it off.

A cup of Hot Cocoa sounds so yummy!  We are expecting a cold snap here in Florida starting tomorrow and this excites me very much.  I get to wear a sweater and leggings while relaxing with my cup of Cocoa...YAY.  It's the little things in life that are the sweetest.  Have a great day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Wildflower Bouquet

Hello and Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!  This weekend, I've dug deep into the stash to use what hasn't seen the light of day in some time to create some cards.  Today's card features Wildflower Die cuts, Embossing and Watercoloring.



Going through my stash of dies, I found these delicate wildflowers.  Using Strathmore water color paper, I cut and watercolored them, creating a bouquet.  I stamped the sentiment, embossed the panel using a Brick/Stone Wall embossing folder and mounted on foam pads. The mat of Ombre Paper is from the Pink & Main Summer Splash 6x6 paper pad.  Lastly, added a simple twine bow and Wink of Stella to the Bouquet.

I've enjoyed the re-discovery of products in my stash, I've also found items I'd forgotten about, which was a nice surprise.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

"Bacon" in the Sun

Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday!  It's been a nice, relaxing day here in Central Florida.  I did find time to craft a bit and put together this cute card.  The image is a Bugaboo Digital Stamp titled Bacon in the Sun.  This sunbathing Piggy is enjoying a cool drink, sitting on the beach somewhere tropical and is turning a bright pink!


The papers are from the Pink & Main Summer Splash 6x6 paper pad.  I colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, added accents with a white Gelly Roll Pen and placed blue sequins here and there to finish off the card. I'm pleased with it and think this image is just adorable.

That's all for now and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Fried Chicken

TGIF Everyone!  I hope you are well and starting to get out and spread your wings a bit after being at home during this pandemic.  Things are starting to open up here but we are still practicing common sense and social distancing.  This weekend in the States is the weekend prior to Memorial Day, which is officially Monday, we plan to stay around home, dip in the pool and have some good eats.

Speaking of Wings and Fun in the Sun, today I have a funny card using the Fried Chicken digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps.  I cannot say it enough, I love Bugaboo Stamps and have several.  When I saw this Chicken I had to have it!



The card measures A2 and has been colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  The papers are from the Pink & Main Summer Splash 6x6 paper pad.  This will be me this weekend, sitting around the pool with a cool drink and getting "fried".....well not too fried...and not THAT kind of fried....the sun kind....I really take this Florida Sun seriously.

Have a wonderful weekend, stay safe, have fun and until next time, Happy Crafting!
