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...

December Winter Themed Challenge

As everyone gets busy in December, we thought we'd make the challenge really easy to participate in - we have a theme this month - WINTER.  Any winter themed card goes - Christmas, snow scenes, winter birthdays - as long as it says "winter" in some way, then it works this month and its a good excuse to boost the Christmas card stash too. Tara's made two different cards to meet the theme this month - indoor and outdoor.  For her outdoor card Tara's given a soft frosty feeling to Concord and 9th's Alpine Village die set .  One die cut of white for the background with some light inking and a few tiny details.  The sentiment  is from Colorado Craft Company's White Christmas set - this could be Christmas, a winter birthday or even a winter anniversary with the walking couple holding hands.  For her second card, Tara took winter indoors with a fireplace dressed for winter.  The Fireside die from the Greetery is the base, decorated with elements from Hung W...
