Up Up and Away at Creative Knockouts

We're back with a brand-new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

This time, the theme Anything Goes, so grab your crafty supplies and join the fun!

Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is Star Stampz, and they're offering a fantastic prize - so don't miss your chance to play along!

I created my card using the Ballons and Ice Cream image. To coordinate, I pulled colors from the Hello Happiness designer papers by Taylored Expressions and used matching Copic markers to color the image. Once the coloring was complete, I layered the designer papers with coordinating cardstock to build the card base and background. For the sentiment, I added a simple die-cut “hi” from the A2 Thin Frame Dies set by Kristina Werner.

Be sure you check out the amazing and inspiring creations from our talented Design Team, then share your masterpiece with us!

Happy Crafting!

Merry Berry Christmas at FQCCC!

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 holly branches using images from Holly Berries set by Hero Arts. After stamping the image and sentiment onto kraft cardstock, I pulled out my Prismacolor pencils and started coloring. I'm definitely not the strongest with pencils but every once in a while, I have to try.

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!

Happy crafting!

Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Holly (Sept 30)

Grateful Harvest at Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a brand-new challenge ready for you!

Each challenge, CBC features a fresh Bingo card filled with fun and creative prompts - and while it's not your typical game of BINGO, the rules are simple:

Choose at least three items from ONE column and include them in your project.

This is a just-for-fun challenge, but it's a great way to get inspired - and you could earn a Winner or Top Pick Badge to proudly display on your bog or socials!

For my project, I picked the "O" column, which includes:

• Harvest - Copper- Pocket- Sequins

I had so much fun working with these elements - they really pushed my creativity!

Autumn Inlay Die by Concord & 9th was used to create my card. Not gonna lie, using this die is a bit tedious but the options are endless. After putting the background together, I created a vellum pocket and stamed the inside card with "I'm lucky to have a friend like you" stamped and heat embossed with Tickle embossing power by WOW!.  So grateful sentiment is from More to Say dies also by Concord & 9th.

Visit the Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges blog to check out the full BINGO card and get inspired by the Design Team's creations. Then it's your turn - we can't wait to see what you make!

Happy crafting!
