November Challenge - Christmas Bingo!

A little late starting this challenge this month but hopefully it's a nice open one and with a Christmas theme we hope you'll be encouraged to join in and add to your Christmas card stash! This month we're giving you a Christmas Bingo card and like all Bingo games there are prizes to win!

All you need to do is pick a line - any column, any row or corner to corner and feature the 4 items in your line on your card. So you could create:

a card with an embossed frame, feauring an angel in red green and gold.
a square card with snowmen on a white embossed background.
baubles in pink, blue and silver on a stencilled background with an embossed sentiment.

You get the idea......

Here's Tara's take on the challenge to kickstart the challenge this month.

Tara went for the bottom row as her bingo line and used the new Snowflake Cluster Die from Waffle Flower Crafts, simply die cut twice and a little bit snipped off so it could be added to fill the square base card. Both die cuts were smooshed into a versamark pad so it could be covered in clear sparkly embossing powder which really does not show well in the photo as its super sparkly irl! A little shading on the corners for a frosty blue look (still the card is mostly white) and then finished with a sentiment stamped in the same blue using Snow Fun Sentiments Set.

You have until noon on the 30th November (GMT) to play along and we'll remind you as we go through the month and we hope you'll find it a fun theme to play with and you can play more than once if you like!

Whilst we'd prefer to see products we sell in our store used in this challenge, it's not a requirement for entry.

There will be a £10 store voucher for the winning entry so what are you waiting for? Pick a line, make a project and add your linky!

Apologies to those who don't have blogs or instagram accounts but we are unable to add "offline" entries to the challenge.

January Colour Challenge

Hello everyone, I've finally got enough movement back to make a simple card so I can kick off this month's challenge! This month I've selected a colour theme and have been inspired by fashion so the colours are this season's colours for clothing but they work great for cards too! All you need to do is pick AT LEAST THREE of the colours from the graphic and use them on your card. Neutrals/metallics are allowed in addition but we need to see the colours in the graphic have been the inspiration for you to play along. For my card I wanted to use the new fairytale book themed products just released by Waffle Flower Crafts so picked the red, teal, grey, green, mustard, brown and purple and came up with the card below. Hope this has inspired you to play along - whilst we'd love to see products we sell in store, you can use any products to play along as long as you use the colours to inspire you. You have until 11pm on 31st January to play and can play more than once ...

February Sketch Challenge

We've got a fun new challenge for you all to play with this month. If you're new to sketch challenges, the idea is that the sketch is a JUMPING OFF POINT for your inspriation and you don't have to replicate exactly (swap the circle for a star, heart, oval for example). You can turn it landscape, turn it upside down - whatever floats your boat as long as it looks like the sketch inspired you (no back links to older projects please - the point is to get your crafting!) Here's Tara's take on the sketch to give you some further inspiration using 4 different backgrounds (1 stamped, 2 patterned paper and one made with die cut scraps, topped with Lawn Fawn Pandas UPDATED 20th February Tara's got a second take on the sketch to share flipping it on its side and using the new Lawn Fawn release - check the main blog for details here. We can't wait to see how you played with the sketch - whilst we'd love to see products we sell in store, you can use any...

March Technique Challenge

Thank you to everyone who played along with our sketch challenge last month - winners will be announced later this week, but we wanted to kick of the challenge first to give you all as long as possible to play along so we're kicking it off today. This month we have a fun technique challenge for you - USE A STAMP, A DIE & A STENCIL. You can make anything you like as long as you use all 3 of those products with the added twist that they can't be designed to go together - that is you can't count a die that cuts your stamped image as your die for this challenge, same for the stencil. So for example if you stamp a bird, colour it with a colouring stencil and then cut it with the matching die, you can use it on the card but you would also have to die cut a branch to stand it on and use a stencil for clouds in the sky. Get it? We hope that makes it clear. Our challenges are designed to make you look at yo...
