October Sketch Challenge Winner

Apologies for running late with everything this month - I need to set a reminder to keep on top of things as there are a lot of things to hold in your brain when you run a small business just between 2 people!

We had 9 brilliant takes on our sketch challenge last month - and it looks as though lots of fun was had interpreting it.  I had lots of fun hopping around and looking at them all in more detail today before picking our winner!



And our winner this month, who get's a £10 voucher to spend in store is Caroline - we both thought the use of the hands from Concord and 9th's Handmade Holiday Dies was a genius take on the triangular shape in the sketch.   Congratulations Caroline - drop an email to the store to claim your prize.



We're looking forward to seeing everyone's take on our new Christmas Bingo challenge this month so do get your Christmas stash out and get making!

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...
