Flower Hedgehog

We’re back with a brand-new challenge at Creative Knockouts — and this one’s all about your Fave Embellie!

Whether it’s buttons, bling, brads, or bows — we want to see how you use your favorite embellishments to bring your crafty creations to life. So, grab your supplies and let the creativity flow!

Our fabulous sponsor this round is All Dressed Up, generously offering up an awesome prize — you won’t want to miss the chance to win!


This adorable creature is Hedgehog Flower - how sweet is that image?

I colored the image using Copic markers and framed it with gold cardstock for a touch of shine. This was my first time creating a frame with acetate, and while there were a few hiccups along the way, I’m excited to try it again with smoother results next time!

For my fave embellie, I went with paper flowers — they add such a soft, dimensional touch and tie in perfectly with the floral theme.

Don’t forget to check out the stunning and inspiring creations from our talented Design Team — then share your masterpiece with us!

Happy Crafting!

Cutting Down the Christmas Tree at FQ Country Christmas Challenge

FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge has a brand-new challenge for you to join! 

This challenge blog is all about celebrating the cozy, rustic charm of country life during the holidays — think barns, wildlife, snow-covered fields, and all things outdoorsy and festive! 

Each challenge is Anything Goes, as long as it captures that country Christmas feel.

We are a just-for-fun challenge, but you could earn our Grand Champion Winner Badge (with a Guest DT invite) or proudly display our Wintery Top 3 Badge on your blog or socials.

I created a card featuring a die-cut truck fitted with a couple of Christmas trees.  I used white glitter paper to create the trees from Bottle Brush Trees dies by Spellbinders (unfortunately it looks like the tree dies are no longer available however this one is similar). The final touch was Sparkle Sheer Shimmer spray over the entire card.

I can’t wait see what you create — and don’t forget to check out the blog for beautiful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!
